Design for Six Sigma

Note – This course assumes a Foundation Green belt level awareness of six sigma and lean techniques

This 4-day course will give you an excellent perspective on the DFLSS methodology and how it may be applied. Equally applicable to manufacturing & service environments, the training uses the “House of Quality” approach as its foundation.

The course provides training on the range of DFLSS tools & techniques and shows clearly how these build on the more familiar DMAIC Lean Six Sigma Improvement tools that you may
already be using in your business. The practical challenges of Implementation of DFLSS will also be discussed.
