We provide the following services to product developers and systems engineers:

1. FMEA/DFMEA Facilitation and training to complete Failure Mode Effects Analysis activities 3-5X faster, without missing any critical failure modes. (One large defense company saved over $4 million in one year, using this preparation method.) Get our Recommended Free FMEA template.

2. Guidance through mitigation or elimination of critical failure modes and system constraints. I3DAY founder, Howard Cooper, helped 28 different design and development teams solve such challenges. All 28 projects then passed check-point reviews, were then adopted by the US Army. All 28 improved systems are now saving the Army $233 million, over the legacy systems they had been using. And this was during a decade when only 1 out of 5 defense systems developed were ever put into full rate production. 

3. Rapid innovative solutions to your most critical  challenges, design constraints, system constraints, parameter conflicts, seemingly impossible and conflicting functional requirements, 

4. 90 Minute to three day discovery sessions to predict or forecast the next big thing customers will adopt and embrace, up to 18 years before the competition.
