    S3 E15 | Red Line Green Line Development

    “Make sure you're comfortable learning and describing the things you don't know rather than trying to articulate what you do know and finding a way to verify only what you do know. There is no such thing as a completely red line or a completely green line.” In today's Circuit Breaker episode, Bob and Greg delve into the "green line" vs. the "red line." This reflects contrasting approaches to product development. Bob will recount his research on this topic in Japan when he was a member of the Ford team. You'll understand the mindset difference in product development between the US and Japan. They'll talk about one of Taguchi's methods, Design of Experiments. You'll discover the "green line" and the "red line" main takeaways. This includes, among other things, determining the cause of a product failure rather than bearing personal responsibility and not settling for the unknowns. You'll also learn why redline projects have more going on as they get closer to launch than greenline projects, which have more going on at the beginning.   Join Bob and Greg for this thought-provoking discussion on "green line" and "red line" development.   Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: What are the "red line" and "green line," and why is it important?How to discover the unknown.The importance of continuous learning.How do you know if you're on the "green line" or the "red line?"How do you get from the red line to the green line?And so much more...

    S2 E13 | Process vs Practice

    Most of the time the process assumes linearity, like step one, step two, step three, step four, but in reality sometimes there is iteration. And there are phases of work as opposed to steps of work. In today's episode of the Circuit Breaker Show, Bob and Greg address a current trend they've noticed in their interactions with customers, balancing the pendulum between process-driven product development and practice. Learn more about process-driven product development. This topic traces back to some of Bob's early work in Japan. You'll discover the Japanese perspective on process and how it has been implemented differently in the US. Making the pendulum straight in the middle is no guarantee of success either. They will discuss how to find the "sweet spot" that allows flexibility between process and practice. You'll identify what kind of manager is needed to balance process and practice. They'll dissect Edwards Deming's notion, that says, "If you can't describe what you do as a process, you don't know what you're doing" Join Bob and Greg for this stimulating discussion on the boundaries of practice and process. Enjoy! What You'll Learn in this Show: The pendulum between process-driven product development and practice.Why the process alone is no guarantee of success.The implications of becoming overly rigorous with the process or practice too rigorously.Capacity and capability in the process.What makes execution difficult?Process and practice go hand in hand.And so much more...
