Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Introduction

Overview

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) enables companies to deliver competitor-beating products to market in less time and at lower cost. This course aims to introduce product developers to the DFSS tools and approach through a series of interactive hands-on workshops.

DFSS presents a new product development approach which combines the most powerful tools and methods known today to enable optimised product designs to be produced and verified. The DFSS method is intended to be used to support the front-end design of complex systems and to complement the existing new product development processes within a company. DFSS not only enables faster and higher quality product development but also helps teams to identify stronger, more innovative solutions to important customer needs.
