QualSAT is the source of 7FM Techniques.

• 7FM  are the most powerful quality design and problem-solving methods in the world
• 7FM identifies the design parameters that control functions, their weaknesses, and their optimal direction
• 7FM lays designs and problems bare so the team can see relationships, discuss their meaning, and make significant improvements to product and process deigns.
• 7FM solves complex problems in hours versus weeks and months.

Example: The 2017 Chrysler Pacific used 7FM techniques for all new and risk design items on the vehicle.  Concept design started in 2013 and Production launch was July 2016.  There were no time wasting validation failures.

• 7FM experts were developed for each team.
• John Lindland, the creator of 7FM techniques, developed the FCA experts.
