This document provides information on a 2-day Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) workshop. DFSS focuses on understanding customer and process needs to minimize redesign through critical parameter management. The workshop objectives are to design robust products and processes using DFSS methodology to meet Six Sigma performance levels and customer requirements. Benefits include reduced design complexity, improved quality, reduced time to market, and cost savings. The agenda covers DFSS phases and tools including define, measure, analysis, design, and verify.

Design for Six Sigma(DFSS)
2-Day Workshop
DFSS focuses on conducting Critical
Parameter management (CPM) and
addresses Voice of the Customer and Voice
of the Process– which must be understood
to minimize redesign and design rework.
This is done to identify the few variables
that dominate the development of baseline
performance, the optimization of robust
performance and the certification of
capable performance.

DFSS methodology is used to design robust products,
processes, or services right the first time by using the
voice of the customer to meet Six Sigma performance.
Robust designs are insensitive to variation and provide
consistent performance in the hands of the customer.
DFSS is used to meet customer needs by understanding
their requirements, considering current process
capability, identifying and reducing gaps, and verifying
predictions to develop a robust design.
Reduce Design Process Complexity: Disciplined design
process approach leads to lesser complexities and easier
integration of geographically separated design groups.
Robust and Reliable Design: DFSS methodology makes
design more robust and increase its reliability and reduce
post pilot design changes.
Improve Quality & Reduce Waste: Improve at least one
sigma gain in quality launch over previous design.
Improve Time to Market: Reduce time to market from 25-40
%.
Increase Cost Savings: Leads to 20-40% savings in cost due
to increased design capabilities, better utilization of
recourses and reduction in warranty costs .
Increase Brand Loyalty: Increase in initial customer
satisfaction due to reduced earlier-life failures.
Benefits of attending
Over the last three years 150+ Participants has
attended this session across India
In order to redesign an existing
process or design a new process,
the success is dependent on a
rigorous process and methodology.
DFSS ensures that there are
minimal defects in the introduction
of new products, processes, or
services.
