For Engineers and Product Teams
For Individuals
Design for Six Sigma training helps engineers and quality professionals move from fixing problems after the fact to designing quality in from the start. You gain a structured methodology, the DMADV roadmap, and the practical tools to make it work on real design projects. Whether you are a product design engineer, an R&D specialist, or a Six Sigma practitioner adding DFSS to your toolkit, the course builds capabilities that manufacturers and product teams across South Africa actively look for.
If you want to design products that launch right the first time and reduce expensive redesigns, DFSS gives you a clear, applicable framework. You leave able to lead or contribute to DMADV projects, facilitate VOC workshops, build QFD matrices, and run Design FMEAs on live work.
For Organizations
Design for Six Sigma group training helps organisations build design-in quality capability by equipping product, R&D and quality teams with a common methodology and practical tools. The training can be delivered for engineering functions, NPD teams or whole departments. For manufacturers looking to reduce late redesigns, warranty costs and time to market, DFSS provides a scalable, flexible way to raise first-pass quality across the business.
If your teams keep discovering defects late in development, DFSS group training creates a shared design-in quality language. Engineers gain a standardised approach to VOC capture, CTQ flow-down, concept selection, risk analysis and robust design.

Hands-On, on Real Design Scenarios
This programme builds command of the Design for Six Sigma methodology and the tools that make it work in practice. By the end, you can take a design from customer need through to a verified, robust product using the DMADV roadmap, applying each tool on realistic scenarios.
Work through Define, Measure, Analyse, Design and Verify on a design project, and judge when DFSS is the right choice over DMAIC improvement of an existing process.
Use interviews, observation and the Kano model to uncover stated and latent customer needs, then classify them as must-be, performance or delighter requirements.
Flow customer requirements down into measurable Critical to Quality characteristics and build a Quality Function Deployment House of Quality that sets clear design targets.
Create diverse concepts and compare them objectively against a datum using the Pugh selection matrix, so the strongest design is chosen on evidence, not the loudest voice.
Identify failure modes, score severity, occurrence and detection, calculate the risk priority number, and prioritise design actions that remove risk before launch.
Apply P-diagrams, Taguchi robust design thinking, tolerancing and design verification so products perform consistently and meet every CTQ before transfer to production.
