Design for six sigma
X. Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)


A. Quality function deployment (QFD)
Analyze a completed QFD matrix.

B. Robust design and process
1. Functional requirements: Understand functional requirements of a design.
2. Noise strategies: Develop a robust design using noise strategies.
3. Tolerance design: Understand the concepts of tolerance design and statistical tolerancing.
4. Tolerance and process capability: Calculate tolerances using process capability data.

C. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)
Understand the terminology, purpose, and use of scale criteria (including risk priority number (RPN)) for FMEA, and apply to processes, products, or services; understand the distinction between and interpret data associated with design FMEA (DFMEA) and process FMEA (PFMEA).

D. Design for X (DFX)
Understand design constraints such as design for cost, design for manufacturability and producibility, design for test, design for maintainability, etc.

E. Special design tools
Understand the concept of special design tools such as the theory of inventive problem-solving (TRIZ), axiomatic design (conceptual structure robustness), etc.
