Tribal knowledge is present in every organization, no matter what size. It isn’t always a bad thing, but there’s a lot of inaccurate tribal knowledge floating around out there. How do we distinguish between documented and undocumented facts?
In the March issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors will provide readers with the tools and methodologies needed to identify tribal knowledge, as well as when to question such information, and how to document and transform it into a process.

Is It the Death of the Dashboard?
11/27/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineIn 2024, companies are leveraging AI agents to automate data-driven decisions, bypassing the need for specialized data science skills. In this interview with Tim Burke and Jennifer Davis of Arch Systems, they say these AI tools can handle straightforward tasks, significantly improving factory efficiency by addressing numerous small issues. This shift allows existing staff to use data effectively without extensive retraining. Both large and small language models are used to support real-time decisions on the production floor, integrating various data sources to create a comprehensive digital twin of the factory’s operations.
Designing for Cost to Manufacture
11/21/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007ICAPE's Richard Koensgen, a seasoned field application engineer with a rich background in PCB technology, shares his journey of working with customers and manufacturers through the intricacies of circuit board development and emphasizes the importance of early-stage collaboration with PCB designers. With a focus on tackling the most challenging aspects of PCB design and manufacturing, he discusses everything from layout considerations to the thermal challenges of today's technology when it comes to designing for cost.
Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb—A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
Rules of Thumb: A Primer
11/14/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineMany industry-wide rules of thumb are based on DFM constraints or formulas, but others are based on tribal knowledge. In this interview, Andy Shaughnessy sits down with our contributors Kris Moyer and Kelly Dack to discuss the role of rules of thumb, when to employ them, and when it’s time to do the math.
