Design for Lean Six Sigma.
The Design for Lean Six Sigma course applies the popular DMADV (Define-Measure-Analyse-Design-Verify) methodology used by Lean Six Sigma practitioners around the world.
Design for Lean Six Sigma course supercharges your skills on designing new products, services or processes that can deliver quality and reliability.
This 6-Day programme is ideal for design or process engineers who want to use the Design for Lean Six Sigma (DFLSS) methodology to design or redesign products, services or production processes. The course is also of great value to Black Belts who want to improve the effectiveness of their NPD processes by using the tools & techniques of engineering design in the right way.

Duration
6 Days (3 + 3 days over 2 months)
Prerequisite
Overview.
Design for Lean Six Sigma (DFLSS) is a rigorous methodology that guarantees new product development process has a systematic approach: Customer satisfaction achieved by products with the correct functionality. Designs that meet the expectations of the products. Processes with results that meet the design specifications.
Beyond traditional DFLSS approaches, we emphasise the often missing element of front-end innovation to truly understand customer needs and how to translate those needs into design parameters. Participants also learn how to apply Lean thinking to new product design and development processes, enabling your organisation to generate optimal designs at a rapid pace and stay ahead of the market.
You’ll learn about the details of DFLSS in a focused workshop environment - complete with interactive group exercises and realistic simulations. While statistical design tools are an integral part of this course, the importance of defining and translating customer needs, financial and risk analysis, human-centred design and Lean service design techniques are also emphasised. In addition, the instructor will tailor content and examples to the composition of each class.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS TRAINING
Black Belts or Master Black Belts who want to improve their product or service design skillsets.
Scheduled Course.
Learning Objectives.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Understand how design for Lean (DFL) and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) overlap and when to emphasise either, or both.
Use DMADV, Lean and Innovation methodologies to complete new product and process development projects.
Identify DMADV and DMAIC project opportunities.
Complete project financial and risk analyses.
Design and analyse robust designed experiments.
Describe the elements of process and service roadmaps.
Predict output variability using techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations.
Predict service levels based on resource decisions.
