What Is Design for Six Sigma Training?A Practical Introduction to DFSS

Design for Six Sigma Training in the UK is a practical, non-certification programme that teaches you to design new products, services and processes that meet customer requirements and reach Six Sigma quality levels from the very first release. Rather than fixing defects after launch, you learn to build quality in from the start using the DMADV roadmap: Define, Measure, Analyse, Design and Verify.

The course introduces the full Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) toolkit, from capturing the voice of the customer and translating it into measurable CTQs, through Quality Function Deployment and Pugh concept selection, to Design FMEA, robust design and design verification. It is the design counterpart to DMAIC: where DMAIC improves what already exists, DFSS designs it right the first time.

Delivered by Invensis Learning in live virtual, classroom and corporate formats, this training suits product design engineers, R&D professionals, NPD managers, quality engineers and Six Sigma practitioners across the UK who want to shorten development cycles and reduce late design changes. You finish able to apply DMADV on live design projects straight away.

The DFSS Tools You Will Learn to ApplyHands-On Skills Across the DMADV Roadmap

This training builds hands-on capability across the full DMADV roadmap. You practise each core DFSS tool on realistic product and process design scenarios, so you leave able to apply the methodology on live projects.

Capture and Analyse Voice of the Customer

What you will learn in Design for Six Sigma starts here: capture customer needs through interviews, observation and the Kano model, then classify them into must-be, performance and delighter requirements so your design effort targets what customers truly value.

Translate Needs into Measurable CTQs

Turn the voice of the customer into Critical to Quality characteristics using CTQ flow-down, decomposing system-level needs into subsystem and component requirements that engineers can actually design and measure against.

Build a Quality Function Deployment Matrix

Construct and interpret the House of Quality, linking customer requirements to engineering characteristics, weighting priorities, reading the correlation roof and setting design targets that carry through to production.

Select Concepts and Run Design FMEA

Generate and compare design concepts with the Pugh matrix, then run a Design FMEA to score severity, occurrence and detection, prioritise by RPN and drive out failure risk before launch.

Apply Robust Design and Tolerancing

Use the P-diagram, Taguchi robust design thinking and design tolerancing to make products insensitive to manufacturing, environmental and usage variation, and connect design to real process capability.

Verify, Validate and Transfer the Design

Plan design verification and validation, track performance with a design scorecard, and manage design transfer to manufacturing so a proven design reaches production with quality built in.
