Design for Reliability for Engineering



Design for Reliability Engineering training targets DFSS-trained Green Belts seeking additional knowledge in reliability principles, tools and methodologies directly applicable to improving the systems and products they are assigned. Projects will be identified and commissioned to apply this knowledge based on the needs of the sponsoring organization, or in the case of open enrollment participation, based on the student’s expressed need. Project coaching is a significant element of this program and is highly encouraged to ensure timely and maximum benefit realization.
