The DMADOV methodology is a Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) approach that involves 6 steps: Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Optimize, and Verify. It is used to design new processes, products, or services. In the Define step, customer requirements are gathered. Measure involves translating requirements into engineering specifications. Analyze develops concepts and evaluates alternatives. Design generates the solution. Optimize refines the design using tools like experiments. Verify finalizes the design and implements controls. DMADOV forces consideration of optimization to refine the design.

2. DMADOV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Optimize, Verify)
➔ DMADOV for a new process/product/service
➔ The DMADOV methodology is another favorite Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Methodologies.
➔ DMADOV uses a refinement action on its design.
➔ DMADOV forces more consideration to optimize the design by using additional tools to refine
design parameters.
➔ These tools include Evolutionary Operations (EVOP), Design of Experiments, and Response
Surface Methodology (RSM).

3. Define – Characterize the breath of the process improvement accomplishment
● Define customer (internal and external)
● Acquire customer requirements
● Gather needs
● Identify the business case for the project
● Create project charter
● Above all Build Success metrics
○ Product/process/service
○ DMADV process
○ Project Management
● Develop project plan
● Form the team
● Translate customer requirements to Critical to Satisfaction (CTS)
● Assess risk

4. Measure – Today’s and tomorrow’s process/service
limitations
● Certainly translate customer requirements into engineering requirements
● Translate functional requirements to design parameters
● Develop/evaluate design alternatives
● Resolve design conflicts
● Flow down system designed to subsystems
● Assess risk

5. Analyze – What can we change and to what extent for process improvement
● Develop transfer functions
● Develop system capabilities
● Subsequently generate concepts
● Evaluate concepts
● Analyze trade offs
● Assess design gaps
● Select concept
● Most importantly, test concept to Voice of the Customer (VOC)
● Assess risk

6. Design & Optimize – Generate solution and iterate to improve
● Compare product/process/service capability vs. VOC
● Moreover design solution
● Optimize the product/process/service design for:
○ Robustness
○ Manufacturability
○ Assemblability
○ Serviceability
○ Reliability
○ Testability
● Optimize tolerances
● Certainly design process control plan
● Mistake proof design
● Assess risk

7. Verify – Finalize and control
● Verify product/process/service performance
● Monitor system capability
● Implement design and process control plans
● Develop transition plans
