Neale Design Audit. Objectives

Design Audit Objectives

The objective of an independent Design Audit is to provide customers and suppliers with the re-assurance that equipment or complete systems, are fit for purpose with minimum technical risk.

These two primary objectives are essential outcomes from Design Audits that are commissioned for a variety of reasons, the most prominent ones being:

to ensure equipment and/or systems are "fit for purpose" prior to purchasing;
to identify potential risk;
to maximise standardisation across a product range;
to update a product to reflect changing customer needs and advances in technology;
to introduce new innovations;
to achieve cost reductions;
to comply with insurance and statutory requirements.

An independent Design Audit provides the benefit of a completely fresh approach to a project and offers the opportunity to embody new marketing and technical requirements.
In the case of a Neale Design Audit, it also allows Neale's extensive expertise in machinery and associated structural component failure analysis to be brought to bear - ensuring that past mistakes are not repeated.
