This 4-day course will give you an excellent perspective on the DFSS methodology and how it may be applied. Equally applicable to manufacturing and service environments, the training uses the 'House of Quality' approach as its foundation.
The course provides training on the range of DFSS tools and techniques and shows clearly how these link with and build on the more familiar Lean Six Sigma Improvement tools that you may already be using in your business. The practical challenges of Implementation of DFSS will also be discussed
