σMethodology that Focuses on Reducing
Process Variation, using data-driven,
measurement-based, statistical methods to Solve
problems, improve performance
σFocus: Surgical “inch-wide, mile-deep”
investigation and resolution
σApproach:
σData driven solves problems at the system and
root cause level
σImplement robust control plans for sustained
improvements
What is “Six Sigma”?
An Analytical Methodology that Focuses on Reducing
Process Variation
 DFSS is developed from Six Sigma
 It is methodology to improve product design reliability
 It achieves Six Sigma Level quality (3.4 PPM) by
design,
 DFSS can be used on new product design or to
improve existing product
 DFSS focusses on improving the manufacturing
process capability and roust performance
• Robust Design is often synonymous
to “Design for Six Sigma” or
“Reliability-based Optimization.)
• Reliability Analysis
Quantify the reliability (failure
probability, defects per million)
• Robust Design
Optimize the design such that it is
insensitive to unavoidable
uncertainties (e.g. material,loads,…)
• Reliability-based Optimization
Optimize the design such that
reliability is maximized or failure
probability (defects per million) is
minimized
Robust Design is
“Design for Six Sigma”
DFSS
Six Sigma = Optimize manufacturing processes such
that they automatically produce parts
conforming with six sigma quality
Design For Six Sigma = Optimize the design such that the parts
conform with six sigma quality, i.e. quality
and reliability are explicit optimization
goals
Design for Six Sigma:
• Achieve “Designed-In”
quality as opposed to
letting customers find
out about quality
problems
• Make informed decision
that are critical to
quality early in the
development process0.1

 This device allows the engine the ability to shut off
or limit flow by physically disconnecting the
impeller, thereby achieving fast engine warmup
and improved fuel economy and comfort.
 Conventional Water Pump (CWP) –
water pump is belt-driven by engine, with pump speed at a
fixed ratio to engine speed
 Switchable Water Pump (SWP) –
water pump output can be controlled based on the
engine cooling need
 Clutch mechanism to engage/disengage water pump
from the engine
 Can achieve zero-flow, full flow (equivalent of CWP), and
partial flow
 Significant speed up of engine warm-up
SWP FUNCTION IS TO:
1. Reduce Engine Warm Up time by blocking coolant
flow
2. Maintain engine Operating temperature 90-95 °C
CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS TORQUE > 3 Nm)
 Everything mechanical is measured in Nm of Torque
 Component Dims., stack up models, FEA are
designed in Nm Torque

 SWP was prototyped for VOLVO vehicles which
caused Volvo engines to over-heat
 SWP- failures were discovered by VOLVO during
prototype testing DFMEA was NOT done prior to
Volvo failures
 SWP 2 was launched in production for Chinese
vehicles without a doing a proper Design FMEA
 SWP-3 DFMEA was done after being launched in
production at the request of the Chinese customer
High Warranty Failure :
1. 8% of engines overheated in first 2 years of
production
2. SWP unable to support 3Nm Torque
3. Too many Critical Dimensions out of tolerance
4. Contamination Causing Premature Design Failure
5. Grease failure resulting in extreme clutch slip, engine
overheating
6. Clutch unable to disengage causing engine overheating
7. Design FMEA NOT DONE PROPERLY!!

    • Robust Designis often synonymous to “Design for Six Sigma” or “Reliability-based Optimization.) • Reliability Analysis Quantify the reliability (failure probability, defects per million) • Robust Design Optimize the design such that it is insensitive to unavoidable uncertainties (e.g. material,loads,…) • Reliability-based Optimization Optimize the design such that reliability is maximized or failure probability (defects per million) is minimized Robust Design is “Design for Six Sigma” DFSS
