ABSTRACT
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a rigorous approach to designing products and services to consistently meet customer expectations. Companies implementing Lean Six Sigma know that many defects are actually created during the design process. DFSS facilitates a redesign of processes-factoring in manufacturing and transactional capabilities from the very beginning-and ensures that end products are “produceable” using existing technology. Additionally, DFSS integrates the engineering and process design functions, enabling concurrent product and process design, and thereby eliminating defects before they can occur.
