DESIGN FOR SIX SIGMA EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW FOR INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS

Course Description

SigmaPro's highly effective Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Executive Overview seminar is a concise presentation of the issues involved in developing, deploying and sustaining a successful DFSS program for products and processes for manufacturing and design organizations.  SigmaPro's extensive experience in DFSS deployment and training provides a singularly unique perspective that will assist executives and senior managers in deciding how, where, when, and why DFSS should be implemented.  Participants will discuss a deployment plan based on strategic product launch criteria and the desired financial performance as well as how to allocate resources and manage the DFSS effort.  Participants will also gain an in-depth knowledge of the popular DMADV strategy for product development.  The DMADV (Define-Measure-Analyze-Design-Validate) methodology forms the core of the SigmaPro DFSS approach.  Participants will also gain a thorough understanding of how to integrate the DMADV methodology within an existing new product development life cycle.
