Lean Six Sigma Basics
Published in James William Martin, Lean Six Sigma for the Office, 2021
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a methodology that helps ensure products, services, and supporting processes meet customer expectation and requirements. It is a structured set of tools and methods that systematically identifies, prioritizes, and translates the VOC into an organization through its product and service designs. Effectively translating the VOC ensures customer requirements form the basis for designs that will contain a higher value content. Design for Manufacturing is another methodology utilized by DFSS, originally developed as a standalone methodology to simplify complex designs to enable manufacturing and now services to simplify them. In summary, high-quality processes rely on designs based on the VOC, simplification, standardization, mistake-proofing, and effective root cause analysis.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is an approach to designing or re-designing product and/or services to meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations. Like its parent Six Sigma initiative, DFSS uses a disciplined methodology and set of tools to bring high quality to product development. It begins by conducting a gap analysis of your entire product development system. This analysis finds the gaps in your processes that are negatively affecting new product performance. It also addresses a highly significant factor, the voice of the customer (VOC) as noted earlier in the QFD discussions in Chapters 2 and 4. Every new product decision must be driven by the VOC. Otherwise, what basis is there for introducing it? By learning how to identify that voice and respond to it, the designer is in a far better position to deliver a new product or service that the customer actually wants.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a well-established approach to developing products that fulfill customer needs with high performance and robustness. The development team decided the DFSS method could prove advantageous in developing a transient test procedure that correlates with subjective evaluation. For readers unfamiliar with DFSS, a review of the key steps follows: Define requirementsDevelop conceptOptimize design through designed experimentVerify final designDefine RequirementsA few critical requirements needed to be met as the team began the project: Test must be repeatable.Test metrics must correlate with expert subjective evaluation of vehicle dynamics traits.Test must use standard instrumentation.Test metrics must have good discrimination resolution.
Application of Design for Six Sigma tools in telecom service improvement

Six Sigma practitioners often use existing manufacturing or service process data to perform their analysis in traditional improvement projects, while they often use simulations and system design/analysis tools in DFSS process. DFSS is largely a design activity requiring tools including: quality function deployment (QFD), TRIZ, Design for X, design of experiments (DOE, especially response surface methodology) for a single or multiple response optimisation. The choice of tools depends on the actual situation to achieve the best performance of the design. For example, we can see the differences from design ideas to tools applications in the redesign processes of troubleshooting and service delivery in this research. We employed VSM to analyse troubleshooting process but network diagram to analyse service delivery process because of the objective differences of two processes. In conceptual design, troubleshooting process faced with a confliction between investments and production efficiency; then the use of the inventive tool, TRIZ, provided a ground-breaking idea of process redesign. In contrast, the use of network diagram is adequate for service delivery process to identify the critical activities of design.

Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) is a method used by Six Sigma project teams to invent and innovate products, services, and processes. DMADV is an approach used in the DFSS context. The DMADV procedure is applied to design a new system or redesign an existing process or service (Antony et al, 2007).
Design for Six Sigma: A Review of the Definitions, Objectives, Activities, and Tools

In the set of 72 tools, it was also identified which were the most cited in the general applicability of DFSS, regardless of the application phase, and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Design of Experiments (DOE), and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) stood out.
