Design for Lean Six Sigma Approach
- The Design for Lean Six Sigma Approach is used to create a new product or process, or to redesign the existing one.
- The five phases of DMADV help you to define the opportunity, understand the detailed stakeholder needs, generate design concepts, develop and optimise the design, and validate adherence to customer requirements.
- Most new products can be created using this structured approach.
Clearly define the opportunity; gather the Voice of Customer
(value, wants, needs, requirements); determine project boundaries
Identify detailed stakeholder needs; quantify metrics and
specifications; perform benchmarking; develop design scorecard
Identify and prioritise key functions; develop function structure; generate design concepts; perform risk analysis
Define design elements and requirements; develop detailed
design; simulate, refine, and optimise design for robustness
Pilot and implement design; monitor outputs, control inputs;
validate adherence to customer requirements; transfer control
