Product-Based Design for Six Sigma Training

Design for Six Sigma Red Belt Training

Trained Red Belts in Design for Six Sigma will be able to apply the DFSS methodology to achieve:

• improved product performance
• improved quality
• improved efficiency in the New Product Introduction (NPI) process
• a more effective integrated product team (IPT) approach to design
• reduction in the number of product redesigns
• confidence in delivering products that better meet customer requirements

Who should attend this course?
The course is aimed at product design and manufacturing teams. Since DFSS embraces the entire product lifecycle, other members of the Integrated Product Team (marketing, purchasing, etc.) should attend certain modules of the course.

What will attendees take away? They will:

• know when and how to use the extensive Design for Six Sigma tool-set to make data driven design decisions
• be able to incorporate variation into the design process to achieve robust product performance
• be able to capture customer requirements and integrate them into the design of the product
• be able to participate actively and effectively in the Integrated Product Team

Overview

The complete training comprises of 6 modules of 27 days duration. The number of modules and their content can be tailored to suit the nature of your business. Certain roles in the Integrated Product Team would only be required to attend a subset of the overall programme.

To maximise the effectiveness of the training, it is advisable that teams arrive with an outline project. Each module is separated by approximately one month so that delegates can put into practice what they have learnt.

Software Requirements
During the course examples will be run using Minitab, Crystal Ball and QFD Designer.

Attendees must have access to a laptop computer installed with Minitab. A copy of Minitab can be provided at cost. It is desirable although not essential that delegates have Crystal Ball and QFD Designer.
