Nice response to my questions and good suggestions for moving forward.

Some of these sessions are too basic - this one had a good mix of basic and details. The tips are helpful. One comment: a little more discussion regarding the use of Detection in FMEAs would be useful since many do not advocate its use. Thanks,

I especially liked that the Q&A session after the webinar was long enough to not only address my own questions but also to learn from the questions from the other participants in the webinar.

Very thorough understanding of the history/progression of the guidances, and very helpful evaluation of current and potential directions. Excellent presentation skills, very engaging.
