Lean & Six Sigma for Process Optimization
Understanding DFLSS
DFLSS is a methodology aimed at ensuring the quality and reliability of new product and process designs
across various sectors,
including manufacturing, services, finance, healthcare, and research. This
approach uniquely merges the development of efficient, waste-free designs (Lean) with the creation of
defect- and error-free outputs (Six Sigma). Emphasizing that design is a cross-functional endeavor,
DFLSS incorporates statistical design tools alongside critical elements such as Voice of the Customer
(VOC), financial analysis, and supplier selection.
Training Objectives
Participants in the DFLSS training will achieve several key learning outcomes:
•Comprehend the interplay between Lean and Six Sigma in design contexts and determine when to apply each methodology.
•Utilize the DMADV (Define-Measure-Analyze-Design-Verify) framework, along with Lean and innovation techniques, to execute new product and process development
projects.
•Differentiate between DMADV and DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) project opportunities.
•Articulate the objectives associated with each phase of the DMADV process.
•Conduct comprehensive project financial and risk analyses.
•Evaluate Quality Function Deployment (QFD) matrices effectively.
•Select optimal design concepts using tools like the Pugh Matrix.
•Develop and interpret design scorecards.
•Design and assess robust experiments to enhance process reliability.
•Apply techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations to predict output variability.
•Analyze reliability data to inform design decisions.
• Implement principles of Design for Manufacturability and Assembly to streamline production.
•Establish inventory policies aligned with desired service levels.
•Choose appropriate maintenance strategies for products to ensure longevity and performance.
Learning Approach
The DFLSS training is conducted in an immersive workshop setting that includes interactive lectures,
collaborative group exercises, dynamic simulations, and personalized mentoring. Participants are
encouraged to bring real-world challenges and data from their organizations, facilitating practical
application of concepts and tools learned during the course. BMGI’s expert instructors tailor content to
the specific composition of each class, ensuring relevance and maximizing the value of the training
experience.
Conclusion
BMGI India’s Design for Lean Six Sigma Training equips professionals with a
robust set of skills to design processes and products that are both efficient and
of high quality. By integrating Lean's waste-reduction focus with Six Sigma's
emphasis on defect minimization, participants are prepared to lead initiatives
that drive significant process
improvements and contribute to their
organizations' success.
