Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)


The proven and powerful Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology can be used for both initial design as well as re-design efforts, and provides a way to implement the Six Sigma methodology as early in the product or service life cycle as possible. DFSS teaches participants how to “design in” quality when costs are the lowest in order to create new game-changing products and services which exhibit outstanding performance right from the start. DFSS employs the IDOV methodology, which focuses on identifying the voice of the customer, designing products and processes which satisfy the customer’s requirements, optimizing products and processes to maximize performance, and testing and validating designs to ensure capability. As with Lean Six Sigma, certification plays a key role in DFSS. For the practitioner, the certification process is one that recognizes those who have completed the DFSS training program and proven themselves in the application of DFSS methodologies. For the employer, certification will distinguish those with the ability to lead the company in attaining world-class status by delivering higher value to the customer while simultaneously increasing corporate margins and increasing market share.
