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
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.
The DMADV model is a systematic approach to product development. It consist of 5 phases:
- Define Requirements
- Measure Performance
- Analyze Relationships
- Design Solution
- Verify Functionality
The course is designed for:
- Product and Manufacturing engineers
- Product Developers
- Existing Green Belts wishing to achieve Motorola Certification
