see what our graduates have to say:
The course is well thought out and organized. It provides a systematic approach to test prep, test design, and results analysis of both means and variation.
This is a great introduction to Design of Experiments and the statistics involved therein. Don’t feel like you will get lost, the course is done in a very tactful manner that teaches as you go.
The instructor was able to provide feedback/applications for ‘real world’ examples of the subject matter to our processes.
Where I benefited the most from this course was working through the many examples that were provided during the course. The content was very well explained which made working through the examples, while the instructor presented them, easy to follow and very helpful.
Instructor clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and he was able to convey to us some very complicated ideas and concepts through these examples, as well as his excellent presentation skills.
The course it is well presented and detailed and well worth it to establish a base understand of the DoE principles and applicable to just about any project that requires optimization.
Don’t waste your time shopping around, partner with Air Academy. We wasted three months vetting other companies.
The DOE Pro and SPC XL software is amazing! Used Minitab and JMP previously, and the user interface for this new software makes it far easier to use.
Highly recommended! The content was explained in an easy-to-understand way, and was practically applied so that you could see it in action.
I would highly recommend this Greenbelt training. The course and tools are designed to bring success to the students & businesses. The skills learned will bring value throughout your career.
Highly recommend especially if your work is directly related to designing experiments with longer run times. This course will assist in pointing out the important factors and how to go on about being most efficient while maintaining a high confidence level.
Instructor explained the fundamentals as well as the application of DOE very well. He also helped the students understand how to apply DOE or MSA to their own systems.
Trusted DFSS – Design for Six Sigma Certification
The Design for Six Sigma Certification is designed to assess your knowledge of Six Sigma principles related to new-process design. Design for Six Sigma follows the Six Sigma technique when developing new goods, services, or processes. The primary objective of DFSS is to “design it right the first time” to prevent the necessity of recreating or constructing a new process or process improvement.
Design For Six Sigma is an excellent fit for marketing, product development, and process innovation in various industries. As a result, it is widely utilized across multiple industries, including transportation, banking, marketing, manufacturing, and information technology.
Furthermore, DFSS examines conceptual and operational defects during the initial process design phase while instilling quality design standards. Unlike a traditional Six Sigma project, which focuses on improving an existing process and just hypothesis testing, DFSS begins by examining the client’s needs and then developing a strategy to fulfill those needs.
DFSS employs a similar technique to Six Sigma’s DMAIC. The DMADV method, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify, is the most frequently used. It develops a novel technique for reducing “waste” based on Six Sigma ideas throughout the design phase.
Air Academy Associates will help you get a Design for Six Sigma certification so you can demonstrate various DFSS implementation methods and their potential applications.
Who Is the DFSS Intended For?
Design for Six Sigma is for anyone who wants to learn DFSS, including:
- New Product Development (NPD) and Process Development (PD) Engineers
- Project Managers
- Quality Engineers
- Plant Managers, who are responsible for New Products and Processes
- Quality and Process Improvement Teams
- Project Leaders
- Marketing, Sales, and Product Development Professionals
DFSS Implementing Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology in various industries can dramatically improve performance, measured and quantified. If a manufacturing process has been designed to the specifications of Six Sigma, it will be much more likely to produce consistent results. In addition, the design process should not be affected by employee turnover or worker error. As a result, the business should see a decrease in scrap, rework, and re-inspection. A well-designed product will also have lower warranty costs.
Benefits of Design Six Sigma Principles
The most crucial reason behind the massive success of DFSS methods is its primary goal of eliminating all process-related problems at the initial design phase. DFSS essentially helps businesses avoid the issues that arise during the implementation phase. This facet of the design technique essentially saves time, money, and resources. DFSS projects have a success rate of up to 95%, compared to the 50-70% success rate of traditional product development projects, and effectively cater to customer needs.
In addition to the primary benefit of avoiding the implementation phase of a business, DFSS also builds upon the knowledge and expertise of a particular engineering team. It is designed to complement Six Sigma projects and other quality control techniques. DFSS projects have a higher customer satisfaction rate of up to 95%, compared to the 70-80% customer satisfaction rate of traditional product development projects.
While the initial phase of the DFSS process is atypical of a traditional Six Sigma project, the result is essentially the same. The primary objective of both techniques is to develop a client-driven strategy for guaranteed success and reliability. Air Academy Associates will help you understand the basics of DFSS and provide you with the tools to make the most of your Design for Six Sigma certification.
Current approaches can be used to implement the DFSS strategy and analyze metrics. Indeed, advanced design tools are used in all of these DFSS methodologies (Quality Function Deployment, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), benchmarking, Design of Experiments, simulation, statistical optimization, error proofing, Robust Design, etc.). However, the names of the phases and the number of steps distinguish each technique the most (and, of course, the acronym).
Achieving DFSS Certification
Air Academy Associates delivers a Design for Six Sigma Certification that can help you boost your career in process improvement.
DFSS certification is a crucial part of your Six Sigma training. Many companies prefer to hire a Design for Six Sigma certified professional for their business. It is a qualitative approach to design and quality, whereas DMAIC is a cycle of quantitative techniques to improve process performance.
Air Academy Associates’ Design for Six Sigma curriculum is designed to help you discover the secrets of DFSS and gain valuable practical experience.
Through academic and hands-on training, you’ll gain the tools you need to become a certified Design for Six Sigma professional.
Design for Six Sigma Training and Certification with Air Academy Associates
The Design for Six Sigma training and certification at Air Academy Associates is a full-time professional program (in contrast, many part-time “DFSS” programs don’t provide the necessary quality of education required for successful certification).
A certified DFSS professional can then join the growing company of Six Sigma professionals. Our rigorous curriculum will help you become a certified Design for Six Sigma professional.
