    What Is Design for Six Sigma?Designing Quality in from the Start

    The Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Training is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you how to design new products, services and processes to meet customer requirements and reach Six Sigma quality levels from the very start. Design for Six Sigma training in Singapore is built around the DMADV roadmap (Define, Measure, Analyse, Design, Verify) and the core DFSS tools, so you learn to design quality in rather than inspect defects out. Unlike DMAIC, which improves processes that already exist, DFSS is the Six Sigma approach for getting the design right first time. Across a single intensive day you move from capturing the Voice of the Customer and translating it into measurable CTQs, through Quality Function Deployment and concept selection, to Design FMEA, robust design and design verification. The programme suits product and design engineers, R&D professionals, quality engineers, manufacturing and NPI engineers, and Six Sigma Green Belts and Black Belts who want to add DMADV to their toolkit. In Singapore, where semiconductor, precision engineering, medical device and aerospace employers compete on first-time-right quality, these skills apply directly to live design and new product introduction work. Delivered by Invensis Learning in live virtual, classroom and corporate formats, it is a focused way to start applying DFSS from day one.

    The DFSS Tools You Will Put to WorkApplied Across the DMADV Roadmap

    This programme is built around the DMADV roadmap, so every skill maps to a real design tool you can apply on the job. By the end of the day you can move a design from customer need to verified, robust output using the full DFSS toolkit.

    Capture and Analyse the Voice of the Customer

    In this training you learn to gather and interpret the Voice of the Customer using interviews, observation and the Kano model, so you can tell must-be, performance and delighter needs apart before design begins.

    Translate Needs into Measurable CTQs

    Use the CTQ tree and requirement flow-down to turn customer language into specific, measurable Critical to Quality characteristics, and trace every design decision back to a real customer need.

    Build a QFD House of Quality

    Construct and interpret a Quality Function Deployment matrix that links customer requirements to engineering characteristics, weighs relationships, and sets clear design targets from the analysis.

    Select Concepts with the Pugh Matrix

    Generate multiple design concepts and evaluate them objectively against a datum using the Pugh selection matrix, combining strengths into a stronger hybrid concept rather than defaulting to the loudest opinion.

    Run a Design FMEA

    Carry out a Design FMEA, scoring severity, occurrence and detection to calculate the Risk Priority Number, then prioritise and drive the design changes that reduce the highest risks.

    Apply Robust Design and Verify the Design

    Use the P-diagram, Taguchi robust design thinking and design tolerancing to reduce sensitivity to variation, then plan verification, validation and a design scorecard before transfer to production.

    General

    What is the Design for Six Sigma training?

    The Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) training is a practical, one-day programme that teaches you to design new products, services and processes to reach Six Sigma quality levels from the start. It covers the DMADV roadmap and core tools such as VOC, QFD, DFMEA and robust design.

    Who should attend this Design for Six Sigma course?

    It suits product and design engineers, R&D professionals, quality engineers, manufacturing and NPI engineers, and Six Sigma Green Belts and Black Belts. Anyone in Singapore responsible for designing new products, services or processes will benefit from the DMADV methodology.

    Is Design for Six Sigma worth it for engineers in Singapore?

    Yes. Singapore's semiconductor, precision engineering, medical device and aerospace employers compete on first-time-right quality, so design-side quality skills are in demand. DFSS lets you design defects out before launch, where fixes cost the least.

    What is DMADV and how does it differ from DMAIC?

    DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyse, Design, Verify) is the DFSS roadmap for designing new products and processes right the first time. DMAIC improves existing processes, while DMADV designs quality in from the outset. This course covers DFSS and DMADV.

    How long is the Design for Six Sigma training?

    The programme runs for one day (8 hours) and covers all five DMADV phases, from DFSS foundations and Voice of the Customer through CTQ flow-down, QFD, concept selection and DFMEA to robust design and design verification, with hands-on tool exercises throughout.

    Pricing

    How much does Design for Six Sigma training cost in Singapore?

    Fees vary by delivery format (live virtual, classroom or corporate) and group size, so pricing is available on request in Singapore dollars. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share the options that fit your needs.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six DFSS modules, structured courseware, hands-on tool exercises and templates, case studies, learner support, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask for a full inclusions list when you request a quote.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for design, R&D and quality teams. Contact us for a tailored quote for your organisation in Singapore.

    Are payment options available?

    Yes. We accept major cards and bank transfers, and can discuss options for group or corporate enrolments. Talk to a learning advisor to choose the arrangement that suits you.

    Is there a separate exam or certification fee?

    No. This is a non-certification training course with no examination, so there is no separate exam fee. You pay only the training fee, and you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning on finishing the programme.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for the Design for Six Sigma training?

    No. This is a non-certification training course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on DFSS tool exercises, case study work and team discussion across the one-day programme.

    Do I receive a certification after the course?

    No formal certification or credential is awarded, as the course has no governing body or exam. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, and the DFSS skills are immediately applicable to design and NPI projects.

    How am I assessed during the training?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply the DMADV tools through practical exercises, working VOC to CTQ flow-down, a QFD House of Quality, a Pugh matrix and a Design FMEA against realistic design scenarios during the session.

    Do I need prior Six Sigma knowledge to join?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Familiarity with basic Six Sigma concepts such as CTQ and variation is helpful, but the course introduces all DFSS tools and the DMADV methodology from first principles.

    How does this complement my DMAIC or Green Belt training?

    DFSS is the design counterpart to DMAIC. Where DMAIC improves existing processes, DMADV designs new ones correctly from the start, so this course adds design-side capability that Green Belts and Black Belts often need when a root cause requires a design change.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the training?

    The programme covers DFSS foundations and the DMADV roadmap, the Define phase (VOC and Kano), the Measure phase (CTQ flow-down and QFD), the Analyse phase (concept selection and DFMEA), the Design phase (robust design and DFMA) and the Verify phase (verification, validation and design transfer).

    What tools will I learn to use?

    You learn to apply Voice of the Customer capture, the Kano model, CTQ flow-down, Quality Function Deployment, the Pugh concept selection matrix, Design FMEA with RPN, the P-diagram, Taguchi robust design thinking and the design scorecard.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. Hands-on exercises run throughout the day, including VOC to CTQ flow-down, building a QFD House of Quality, a Pugh concept selection matrix and a DFMEA worksheet, all applied to realistic product or process design scenarios.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The course is beginner-friendly and assumes no prior DFSS knowledge, introducing every tool from first principles. It is most impactful for those who already understand DMAIC, but newcomers to Six Sigma can follow and apply the methodology.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware covering all six DFSS modules, tool templates for VOC, QFD, the Pugh matrix and DFMEA, worked case study examples and reference guides to support you when you apply the methods at work.

    Enrollment
