Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)- From process optimization to process engineering

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) focuses on conducting Critical Parameter Management (CPM) and addresses 2 “voices” – Voice of the Customer and Voice of the Process – which must be understood to minimize redesign and design rework. This is done to identify the few variables that dominate the development of baseline performance, the optimization of robust performance, and the certification of capable performance.

DFSS training is ideal for engineers, designers, interested managers, and technicians- all those who would lead or be members of a DFSS project team.

6Sigma.us offers several Live Virtual options:

• DFSS White Belt (1 day – Monday).
• DFSS Green Belt (3 days – Monday-Wednesday). Recommended for participants who have current DMAIC Green & Black Belt.
• DMAIC/DFSS Combined Green Belt (2 weeks). Week 1 covers the above concepts along with introducing traditional DMAIC concepts. Week 2 will focus on technical concepts and project control plans and documentation. No prerequisites include the SigmaXL software license.

Course Hours (given by each time zone):

• 10 am – 5 pm (Eastern)
• 9 am – 4 pm (Central)
• 7 am – 2 pm (Pacific)
