Target reports were then passed to Quality Teams for OK-to-ship compliance. Show less

Created timing plans and managed budgets for the development and use of new tools and technologies to create vehicle targets in advance of application to programmes.Ensured that cross-platform component commodity strategies and archetypes supported the attribute requirements and future aspirations for Design and Perceived Quality. Performed early failure mode detection through the creation and testing of virtual and physical bucks, sub-assemblies and prototype parts. Supported target setting and benchmarking activity in order to create design rules and best-practice specifications.Validated targets throughout the design and engineering development processesCreated PAT documents and key vehicle programme trackers. Created, critiqued, and executed test plans to ensure design verification and reporting was performed in the most effective and efficient manner. Updated current test methods and wrote new test methods as well as organising in-source & out-source testing Show less

Sensory Perceived Quality at Aston Martin is about considering all interactions with our products from a customer’s perspective and understanding how we can engineer specifically for the senses to improve the perception of quality of our products. “Engineer for the senses by quantifying the subjective”.The subconscious part of our brain makes choices before the conscious part understands why that choice was made. Understanding how to influence the early stages of any interaction… Show more Sensory Perceived Quality at Aston Martin is about considering all interactions with our products from a customer’s perspective and understanding how we can engineer specifically for the senses to improve the perception of quality of our products. “Engineer for the senses by quantifying the subjective”.The subconscious part of our brain makes choices before the conscious part understands why that choice was made. Understanding how to influence the early stages of any interaction is key to delivering enhanced customer satisfactionAttribute Delivery is based on;- Translation of brand and product aspirations (subjective) into engineering targets (objective)- Using virtual tools and physical bucks for target validation- Achieving earliest possible insight into potential Perceived Quality issues- Resolving issues at the most cost effective point in the programme- Minimise costly production issues Show less
