Talk:Defensive design

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Did someone invent this term to hawk some books?

This entire article should be ignored or better yet deleted since all of the supposed aspects (and more) are appropriately covered in various DFx articles. "Defensive Design" is apparently someone's clever way of saying "Design for 'x'" where x = Reliability, Safety, Assembly, Manufacturing, Environment, Testing, etc, etc, etc.

Even Poka-yoke makes more sense in terms of "error-proofing".

In almost 30 years of applied DFx work I have never heard anyone refer to "defensive design".
