👉 Defects engineering is a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and mitigating defects in materials, structures, or systems to enhance their performance, reliability, and safety. It involves a deep understanding of the underlying causes of defects, such as manufacturing flaws, material imperfections, or environmental factors, and employs various techniques like statistical analysis, simulation modeling, and experimental testing to predict and control defect propagation. By proactively addressing potential defects during the design, production, and maintenance phases, engineers can significantly improve product quality, reduce costs associated with failures, and extend the lifespan of components or systems. This proactive strategy is crucial in industries where safety and reliability are paramount, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.
