About the Tool
Manufacturing industries aiming to meet net zero targets face the challenge of developing sustainable products and technologies safely, reliably, and as quickly as possible.
A key aspect of product development is Verification, Validation, and Testing (VVT). But testing these products can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To ensure quality, safety, and compliance, organisations must balance:
- The Voice of the Customer (VoC) – Meeting performance expectations
- The Voice of Regulation (VoR) – Adhering to industry and environmental standards
- The Voice of the Business (VoB) – Managing costs and timelines
The VVT Prioritisation Tool is an interactive online platform designed to help engineers prioritise testing activities. This tool employs a structured seven-step process that seamlessly integrates customer needs and compliance requirements into technological risk assessment and mapping of critical testing activities, providing a dynamic and systematic approach to testing planning. By prioritising tests intelligently, it enhances decision-making, improves efficiency, and reduces development risks.
Designed for both large manufacturers and SMEs, it aligns effortlessly with established methodologies like Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), ensuring a smooth integration into existing workflows. Ultimately, it empowers organisations to streamline testing, accelerate innovation, and drive sustainable product development.
