Design For Six Sigma Certification
Design For Six Sigma Certified (DFSSC)™

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) uses the Six Sigma methodology to develop new products, services, or processes.  The main objective of DFSS is to “design it right the first time” to avoid redoing or redesigning a new process.  Many industries find DFSS a great match for marketing, product, and new process development.

DFSS reviews conceptual vulnerabilities and operational vulnerabilities while infusing quality design principles during the initial process design phase.
