Advanced Methods
Design for Six Sigma
The traditional Six Sigma method is applied to fix a broken process. Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is applied where no prior process exists, or performance is so poor that a fresh start is needed. DFSS has been applied to the creation of new processes, the consolidation of fragmented functions (as in centralized scheduling), the buildout and programming of sophisticated new software applications, and to replacement projects leading to entirely new facilities.
