Description
Industrial Engineering/Quality Control
A road map for successful deployment of DFLSS within any organization and for any product or service
Here is a unique approach to Design for Lean Six Sigma (DFLSS). First, it offers readers a structured road map with descriptions of the essential concepts, tools, and techniques for design in an engineering and a service context. Second, it combines the important concepts of Design for Six Sigma, an approach that reduces operational variation and defects, with concepts of Lean, an approach that helps eliminate waste and shortens cycle time. The result is Design for Lean Six Sigma (DFLSS), the integration of two exceptional forces in order to fuel any organization's drive for operational excellence, innovation, world-class quality, and growth.
The two authors are Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belts. Their advice is based on many years of hands-on experience advising and assisting organizations in implementing successful DFLSS strategies. With the aid of numerous illustrations and actual case studies, these authors help you:
*
Understand and systematically deploy DFLSS methodologies
*
Reduce development time and unanticipated setbacks
*
Bring innovative, market-driven products to market
*
Minimize complexity while developing flexible, modular designs
*
Maximize robustness to avoid functional failures
*
Maximize return on investment by effectively integrating processes, knowledge, and people
Whether your organization produces a product or a service, you can depend on this book's holistic approach to DFLSS to energize your organization's innovation process and perfect its ability to develop and introduce new products and services.
Reviews / Votes
"This book provides the historical context of Lean and Six Sigma then delivers on the evolution to holistic DFLSS (Design for Lean Six Sigma) - what it is, why, and how and when to apply it. DFLSS are covered in the context of designing and developing processes, products, services, and systems. The technical examples and strategies provide conceptual depth and definition, helping the reader appreciate the complexity and rigor that can be brought to bear for competitive innovation."
