Quality suffers unless it is built into design; squeezing out quality for the sake of higher profits leads to delays and overruns that would not occur if there were either 1) laxer (no?) requirements, EMC or others or 2) a corporate culture that funds quality at each stage - and not merely in response to regulations. I have always viewed my role as more preventing problems than piling on Band-AidsĀ® to squeak by qualification -- and sometimes (the good times) I could.
