Design for Six Sigma (DFSS/ DMADV)
Overview
The 1-day Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) training course is based on the Six Sigma DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyse, Design & Verify) project management framework.
-
It is primarily used for the design of new processes, products, or services to meet the customer needs and expectations (VOC) while driving down quality costs..
-
It is also used for the re-design/ re-engineering of existing and poorly performing processes, products, or services
DMADV:
-
Complements Six Sigma DMAIC (both methodologies share some common tools, and there are instances where one can lead to the other).
-
Although it is popular, it is not as well known and applied as the DMAIC framework
-
Is the logical addition or part of a Six Sigma strategy applied in the development process for products and processes, aiming to embed six sigma level of quality from the design stage
-
It is used from forward thinking organisations aspiring to achieve high levels of product quality from the design stage
-
It involves the utilisation of powerful and useful statistical tools and techniques to predict and improve quality before building prototypes.
The expected process Sigma level for a product or service designed by using the DFSS framework is at least 4.5 (99.87% yield), but can be 6 Sigma (99.9997% yield) depending the product.
Who Should Attend
The course is designed for Product & Process Design Engineers, Product Managers, Quality Managers, Quality Professionals, Quality Engineers, LSS Green/ Black Belts, Supervisors, Managers and other professionals who want to implement Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) process within an organization.
Learning Objectives

-
The tools, methods and best practices needed to develop products and processes that can meet Six Sigma levels of quality
-
The fundamentals of important statistical concepts, such as hypothesis testing and confidence intervals
-
How to uncover and describe relationships between variables with statistical modeling tools.
On course completion delegates should be able to:
-
Describe the DMADV framework, including the objectives, deliverables, tools and techniques used
-
Explain the difference between Six Sigma DMAIC and DMADV
-
Contribute in the integration of DFSS into the existing process and product development process
