DFSS and DFR: Combined to Drive a Successful Design

Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) repackages many quality tools and techniques appropriate for product development into a framework. However, in the current DFSS process, Design for Reliability (DFR) is only a single step in analysis. This can confuse the practitioner and lead to inefficient application of the tools. This presentation clarifies that DFSS and DFR should be treated as two parallel processes or combined into one process in a practical design. It also gives an example of how DFR helped to find the hidden project requirements by conducting DFR tools at an early time in DFSS process. Finally, the presentation proposes an effective DFSS/DFR process in Electronics design.
