What is DFSS? How does it fit with my company?
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is the goal of the process (re)design strategy (DMADV). It means that we set out to create a design that is Six Sigma capable. This involves a tradeoff between the top-down cascade of design requirements (from customer to system to subsystem to design element) and the bottom-up stacking of process capabilities (from element to subsystem to system to customer). The DFSS goal is to balance these two constraints using transfer equations that relate the X’s at the lower level, to the Y’s at the higher level, and either adjust the allocation of requirements or improve the process capabilities.
