Why does Exponent apply fail-fast methodologies and testing?
Since 1967, Exponent has led many industries in failure analysis testing and root cause and risk analysis, conducting research for electrical accident investigations. Our multidisciplinary approach helps our clients identify, mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities and risks throughout each stage of the product lifecycle to improve product safety and performance across applications.
With a determinedly scientific approach to failure analysis, we have helped clients enhance product robustness, reliability, and safety in electronic components and systems before launch. When failure does occur, our team of engineers, statisticians, and subject matter experts conducts predictive risk assessments, empowering our clients to make timely decisions about recalls and replacements.
As a result of Exponent's work, our clients have made their products safer and more reliable, refined their manufacturing processes, and met or exceeded safety and regulatory standards.
Our work spans manufacturing in every industry, including power and energy, software and computer engineering, battery manufacturing and testing, medical device manufacturing, electronic devices, consumer products, and electrical systems and controls.
