What is Design for Six Sigma?

The impact of Six Sigma on continuous quality improvement is significant in that its philosophy spreads backwards through the manufacturing chain into the product design phase. This new methodology quickly became known as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), which follows a methodology similar to that used in Six Sigma. Although there are a number of variations in the methodology used to carry out DFSS, all generally aim to accomplish the following goals:

  1. Identify the customer requirements.
  2. Analyze these requirements and prioritize them.
  3. Develop a product design based on customer requirements.
  4. Develop the various levels of production processes, each based on customer requirements.
  5. Modify the production processes so that deviations from customer requirements are minimized.
  6. Establish a plan for production control.
