As a direct outgrowth of Six Sigma, Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a methodology for enhancing the speed and quality of the design processes inside an organization. Organizations use DFSS when they have to design or re-design a process, product, service or transaction.

Building Quality In
DFSS gets to the source of product and service imperfections by "designing-in" performance from the earliest stages of research and development. It teaches people a methodical approach to involving the right people, asking the right questions and using the right tools from the very beginning of any design project. DFSS can be applied to any industry and any product or process design methodology.

It can be used to create new products and services, streamline software design and systems integration or improve existing product performance. By implementing DFSS, companies can avoid costly re-design projects by ensuring that products and processes get designed, built and launched with greater reliability and a higher performance-to-cost ratio.

DFSS at BMG: The DMADV Methodology
DFSS avoids major costs while satisfying customer requirements with its DMADV methodology:

• Define design and process parameters based on functional requirements,
• Measure customer needs and the predicted behavior of a system,
• Analyze the relationships between causal variables,
• Design a better way and verify the integrity of the design.

BMGI trains practitioners to focus on capturing and analyzing the Voice of the Customer, developing detailed design requirements and evaluating designs with statistical and graphical analysis tools.
