Six Sigma practitioners take great care to ensure that processes – whether in manufacturing or operations, HR, accounting, sales, or other areas – operate with a high degree of efficiency and quality. If both quality and new products are so important clearly the design of new products calls for the same meticulous data-driven approach that Six Sigma applies to operations. Such important revenue producers deserve that kind of commitment. Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) takes Six Sigma’s measurement-driven approach and uses it to ensure products are up to Six Sigma quality by the time the design sees the light of day.
