Design for Six Sigma Program
- for Accelerating and Improving Product DevelopmentDFSS
Program Participants 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. Candidates should be certified Green Belts of Black Belts with experience applying the DMIC methodology to improve existing processes or products
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.
Program Length Five days
Software Participants need to bring a laptop computer preloaded with Excel.
Location This program is available as open enrollment training.

*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.
