A White Paper. For the majority of organizations,
long-term success is tied directly to the new product
development process. This is the key to Design For Six
Sigma (DFSS). DFSS provides a proactive, systematic
method to build important customer requirements into all
related aspects of the product development process that
can be measured, verified and optimized. DFSS provides a
way for customers to incorporate performance
characteristics into their product manufacturing and
development processes. Manufacturing and development
processes can then be optimized to meet those customer
requirements using specific and quantifiable metrics.
Customers can then manage quality levels against a
specific budget. DFSS is therefore able to provide a
rigorous methodology to further ensure planned product
excellence. pdf
