This three-day, practical, hands-on workshop covers the principles of design for serviceability
and maintainability illustrating these principles
with numerous examples of good and bad application examples. The
workshop includes exercises to reinforce understanding of principles. The final exercise
uses one or more of your company's products to analyze its serviceability and identify
changes to improve the serviceability of the design.
