Taking Design for Six Sigma to the Next
Level: New Tools and Methods
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a
recognized process for capturing the voice of the customer and
linking that to the products or services a company produces. Yet
even experienced Black Belts (BBs) sometimes have trouble making the leap
from Six Sigma to DFSS. Part of this is a fault in the way training
is traditionally conducted – both in content and in the manner of
instruction.
This tutorial will link what is taught in the classroom to
real-life situations and present some new tools that have been
developed and taught to the Master Black Belt (MBB) community within John Deere by Tim
Williams. This will not be a dry lecture of statistical theory or
high-level processes. Rather, the audience will be actively
interacted with and engaged, and you will have new tools and ideas
that you can use in your applications. For the inexperienced, this
presentation will help you understand what DFSS is really about.
Experienced BBs and MBBs will find that the presentation challenges what they already
know.
Tim Williams is a Six Sigma Master Black Belt for John Deere and
provides training, guidance and project support to Deere facilities
around the world based upon his expertise and experience using DFSS
methods in real-life situations.
