DESIGN FOR SIX SIGMA FOR ENGINEERS

by Kai Yang, Michael Sheh, Matthew Hu

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a systematic approach for manufacturing companies to address product and process issues at the early development stage. Through inventive thought processes, early error elimination, and robust design, DFSS has dramatically impacted product quality and performance and increased profit. In this comprehensive volume, the four-phase IDOV -- Identify-Design-Optimize-Verify -- DFSS methodology is discussed in detail. The various practices from inventive design methodologies, deterministic and stochastic numerical methods, and the use of CAE simulation techniques, are mapped to the DFSS procedure. Many case studies are used to illustrate how tools are used in DFSS processes. Written by DFSS practitioners and technologists, this book is intended for any engineer to use as a reference in executing DFSS projects.
