Descriere
With all manufacturers facing increased exposure to penalties arising from product failure, the management of this vital aspect of design is now fully appreciated. The book opens by reviewing the legal responsibilities and liabilities of designers, both corporate and individual, in the light of the current changes in the law. The second part of the book establishes the principles of the management of design risks, against the increased exposures and penalties for getting it wrong. This new edition also considers ethics in some detail. The final part of the book provides a chastening look at the consequences of failure by presenting case studies of around 20 major incidents that have affected everyday products.
