Distributed Quality Control (DQC) of open source hardware refers to quality control performed not in centralized facilities, but by distributed microfactories. OSE is experimenting with this paradigm as a route to the open source economy of distributed manufacturing and Distributive Enterprise. The scale of production can be as small as home-scale production, or larger microfactories. Homes, schools, and small enterprises diversify into distributed manufacturing. For this, Truly Replicable Production is required. To achieve Truly Replicable Production - part of the game involves developing transparent mechanisms whereby quality control is certified by international standards bodies (UL, CE, ASME, etc) - or new entities can be created to support decentralized production (DeFab).
Engaging in DQC involves producing documentation. The most effective, digital, practical documentation is a time lapse video showing test procedures for visual examination by a reviewer.
Transparency Protocol
- A governance mechanism for DeFab (analogue of DeSci, DeFi, ReFi, etc) is to be established. Initial draft:
- Create Foundational Criteria
- open design for a product- fully accessible, complete CAD data published in an open source format on an open access public repository
- Certification organization - to manage open CAD data repositories and their standards
- Open Source design for production machinery and data collection machinery
- Open source design for production engineering
- Open source design for data collection
- Open source materials production machinery
- Open repository of published performance, test, materials science, etc data. For unequivocal identification of performance standards and their deviation
- Definitions of acceptable performance limits for 2 Sigma to 6 Sigma quality control levels
- A funding mechanism taking a minute fraction of production proceeds to maintain repositories, standards for DeFab, and training for producers interested in joining the DeFab ecosystem.
