Daily meetings should be conducted to approach the ongoing issue whether from the technical end or production end. To discuss the issues openly for a good integration to overcome the situation rather than bypassing the reality. Such activity will create a good coherence eventually will benefit the system and the surrounding environment.

As a mechanical engineer, Promote collaboration through regular meetings, clear documentation, role shadowing, and fostering mutual respect between teams.

Don’t expect either the test team or the engineering to be right, in some instances the engineering requirements can miss the purpose of the design. So the voice of the customer should be considered when reviewing the requirements and developing tests. There should be no boundaries between the teams, the team should be encouraged to at a one, listening to everyone’s input, and most importantly reviewing the expected test results relative to the end customer use and experience. Not everything is quantitative, sometimes results will need to consider subjective/qualitative aspects to the design. A design might provide a function, but the user finds it’s difficult to use, so a basic engineering requirement would pass, but fail for the customer.

Define Roles and tasks: Clearly identify each team member's tasks to avoid overlap and confusion. This clarification can assist both sides understand how to support one other. Establish Common Goals: Make sure both teams understand the project's objectives and how their responsibilities contribute to attaining them. Aligning around common goals helps foster a feeling of collective purpose. Create an input Loop: Set up an organized mechanism for delivering input on both engineering and testing results. Encourage constructive criticism that emphasizes improvement rather than blame. Foster an Open Culture: Create a climate in which team members may freely share their ideas, concerns, and suggestions without fear of consequence.

Always go back to the requirements. 1. What are the Product Requirements and Product Specifications. 2. What are the required CPPPs Critical Performance Process Parameters need to be tested and meet. 3. Make risk assessment and workout a share risk to achieve above objectives. 4. Avoid "gold plating" and "scope creep" 5. Go for dinner, have some beer and wine. Good luck!

1. Foster a Culture of Collaboration: * Joint Planning Sessions * Shared Understanding of Goals * Regular Check-ins 2. Improve Information Flow: * Centralized Communication Hub: * Clear Documentation * Transparent Bug Tracking: 3. Build Relationships and Trust: * Team Building Activities: * Open and Honest Feedback * Recognize and Appreciate Contributions: 4. Focus on Continuous Improvement: * Regular Retrospectives * Training and Development * Embrace Automation

To effectively bridge the communication gap between your engineering and testing teams, it is essential to foster a collaborative environment where: ✓open communication is encouraged. ✓Organize regular meetings and joint workshops ✓where team members can share their perspectives and insights, thus building mutual understanding and trust. ✓Implementing tools for transparent communication, such as a shared project management platform, can help both teams see the project's progress and challenges in real-time. ✓Encourage cross-functional training sessions to help team members appreciate the other's roles and challenges, which can lead to more empathetic and constructive collaboration.
