ABSTRACT

The Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology enables a development team to achieve the necessary goals for the success of their product. It enables them to conceive new product requirements and systems based on a balance between the voice of the process and the voice of the customer (VOC). It also allows them to design baselines that are able to satisfy product requirements, based on the same balance. It further enables teams to optimize the performance of the design process to incorporate tunability and robustness into the product and fortify it against everyday sources of variation. DFSS also allows teams to verify how well their design holds up to industry standard by offering multiple testing methods that enable the team to measure how much variation their design contains.
