Description
|
The authors of this proposal are all six sigma consultants and team members with the Six Sigma Academy - the largest, most successful six sigma consulting and training company in the world. Six Sigma Academy employs a "breakthrough design" approach to integrate six sigma into corporations (from manufacturing to service industries) in a structured, systemic, and disciplined way without reducing the importance of the designer's intuition and design experience. The result is designing a product, process, or service to provide the intended function at the lowest cost with six sigma quality levels (3.4 defects per million opportunities).
The book will employ a "road-map" approach to DFSS. This is a similar approach to that used by Forrest Breyfogle in his successful book: "Implementing Six Sigma, 2E". This approach will allow corporate management to understand where they are in the process and to integrate DFSS methodology more fully into the overall business strategy. Another important aspect of this book is its coverage of DFSS implementation in a broad range of industries including service and manufacturing, plus the use of actual Six Sigma Academy cases throughout.
