	Engine test cell at SwRI

The product development risk assessment process at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)  is a method of determining the best mix of analytical and empirical techniques.

What the Risk Assessment Process Does

• Highlights high-risk technology in a design program

• Identifies the most effective applications of simulation techniques

• Identifies critical testing required

• Provides clear priorities for assigning and utilizing resources

How the Risk Assessment Process Works

• Utilizes experienced SwRI and client teams to rank design simulation and engine testing capabilities for critical design changes and features

• Identifies most effective use of simulation and testing for a given set of design project goals.

Results of the Risk Assessment Process

• Maximizes the effectiveness of simulation and test resources available to the project

• Identifies high-risk design features that may lead to product failures after production begins
