Timothy Bradbury Monzello Launches “Build It Right” Pledge for Smarter Engineering
The toolkit promotes early manufacturing input and cites data showing design choices drive up to 70% of production cost.
- Former NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Manufacturing Engineering Lead Timothy Bradbury Monzello announced the "Build It Right" Pledge, a personal initiative to strengthen alignment between engineering and manufacturing teams through practical, daily habits.
- Design-Related issues account for nearly 80% of production delays, prompting Monzello to launch the initiative, as up to 70% of manufacturing costs are determined during the design phase.
- Participants commit to 7 personal commitments including consulting production staff early, while the 30-Day Progress Tracker helps document simple improvements; "It's about building awareness," Monzello says.
- Applying these habits can reduce costs by 15% to 30%, Monzello explains, adding that "Better design helps everyone" by saving time and reducing frustration for engineers, students, and machinists.
- "You don't need a big system to start," Monzello says, emphasizing that the pledge focuses on clear, repeatable behaviors that prevent bigger problems rather than complex organizational overhauls.
