Candidates |
Participants will learn a structured methodology and
comprehensive set of tools specifically for new product
development. Product and manufacturing engineers are
ideal candidates for this program. |
| Program
Overview |
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a methodology for driving
breakthrough performance in new product development.
This program is structured around the DMADV* Model – a
five phase model similar to the more traditional DMAIC
model. DMADV is about “designing in” quality, cost
savings and faster time-to-market. To achieve this, the
DMADV model places special emphasis on the following:
- Understanding and quantifying market needs and
customer needs,
- Translating customer needs into product
specifications,
- Quantifying allowable variability,
- Delivering innovative design solutions.
- Applying robust design techniques.

Length |
Six days |
| Software |
Participants need to bring a laptop computer
preloaded with Minitab and Crystal Ball Software. |
| Location |
This program is available as open enrollment training
and also in-house. |

*The DMADV model is
a systematic approach
to product
development.
It consists of five
phases.
- Define Objectives
- Measure
CTQs.
- Analyze
Alternatives
- Design
Solution
- Verify
Performance

Highly Customized
Our Design for Six Sigma program provides a practical approach to product development
projects. The program focuses on implementing a defined Product Development Process
and applying relevant DMADV tools in each stage to launch new products in support of the
established business case, on time, within budget, and at unprecedented quality levels. |
