variation-aware design

Variation-aware design is an approach used in engineering and manufacturing to account for tiny differences that naturally occur in materials, parts, and processes. These small variations can impact the performance or reliability of a product. By understanding and planning for these variations during the design phase, engineers can create more robust, consistent, and reliable products. Essentially, variation-aware design anticipates the small deviations that happen everyday and ensures the final product still functions perfectly, improving quality and reducing costly failures or rework.
