	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
