Notes
- 1.
Stages 2 and 3 are reactive in nature. When an issue arises it is considered and addressed. Stages 4 and 5 are proactive. As the design evolves the design team exerts concerted effort to discover and resolve issues before they manifest themselves in product failures both in the development prototypes and during customer use. In reactive organizations, management pays attention to prototype or field failures. In proactive organizations, management seeks weaknesses in products and improves product reliability before prototype or field issues arise.
