Download or read book Service Design for Six Sigma written by Basem El-Haik and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-08-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A roadmap to consistent, high-quality service for anyorganization A service is typically something created to serve a payingcustomer, whether internal or external. Some services consist ofseveral processes linked together while others consist of a singleprocess. This book introduces Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), aneasy-to-master, yet highly effective data-driven method thatprevents defects in any type of service process. The particularfocus of this publication is service DFSS, which leads to what theauthors term "a whole quality business," one that takes a proactivestance and gets things right the first time. Not only does thewhole quality business produce a high-quality product and offerhigh-quality services, but it also operates at lower cost andhigher efficiency, throughout the entire life cycle, than itscompetitors because all the links in the supply chain areoptimized. Following a detailed overview that sets forth the basic premise andkey concepts of service DFSS, the authors offer all the informationand tools needed to take advantage of service DFSS within their ownorganizations, including: * Clear and in-depth coverage of the philosophical, organizational,and technical aspects of service DFSS * Step-by-step roadmap of the entire service DFSS deployment andexecution process * Full discussions of all the key methods involved in service DFSS,including axiomatic design, design for X, the theory of inventiveproblem solving (TRIZ), transfer function, design scorecards, andTaguchi's method * Practical, illustrative examples that demonstrate how the theoryis put into practice * Assistance in developing the necessary skills in applying DFSS inorganizational settings Problems and their solutions are provided at the end of eachchapter to help readers grasp the key concepts they need to moveforward in the text. Acclaro DFSS Light(r), a Java-based softwarepackage that implements axiomatic design processes discussed inChapter Eight, is available for download from an accompanying Wileyftp site. Acclaro DFSS Light(r) is a software product of AxiomaticDesign Solutions, Inc. This book is ideal as a reference to service DFSS for corporateexecutives, quality control managers, and process engineers, or asa complete training manual for DFSS teams. It is also a superiortextbook for graduate students in management, operations, andquality assurance.

This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-world examples and hands-on experience are invaluable resources when learning how to use new methods and tools, whether in training or in a classroom. Yet there are very few books on Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) that provide the practical knowledge required to be up and running quickly. Until now. Design for Six Sigma in Product and Service Development: Applications and Case Studies provides step-by-step analysis and practical guidance on how to apply DFSS in product and service development. The book discusses the DFSS roadmap and how it is linked to methodologies, including organizational leadership, product development, system integration, critical parameter management, voice of the customer, quality function deployment, and concept generation. The chapter authors provide real-world case studies that demonstrate how the application of DFSS has significantly improved meeting customer requirements. They follow the Identify-Define-Design-Optimize-Validate (IDDOV) structure for new product or service development. Examples of tools covered include Quality Function Deployment, Voice of the Customer, Pugh Concept Selection, Ideal Function, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Reliability, Measurement Systems Analysis, Regression Analysis, and Capability Studies, among others. Clearly outlining the tools and how to integrate them for robust product and service design, the case studies can be used by industry professionals and academics to learn how to apply DFSS. The book gives you hands-on experience in a safe environment, where experienced Black Belts and Master Black Belts act as mentors and prepare you to touch actual data and make decisions when embarking on real-world projects. Even after you’ve mastered the techniques, the breadth and depth of coverage contained in this book will make it a vital part of your toolkit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Sigma provides an overarching concept, methodology and the tools to improve quality and customer satisfaction, thereby increasing profitability. This book moves beyond applying Six Sigma to already exisiting products and services to quantifying, designing and measuring success in from the start.Most new ideas are launched on the market without taking customer needs into account. Failings are discovered in the marketplace where products or services then have to be refined and redesigned - indeed perhaps some 80% of new products or services will fail altogether. By using the Six Sigma approach to designing new products and services the chances of failure are greatly reduced. Six Sigma encourages innovation within a controlled framework, leading to better products and services brought to the marketplace more quickly.This book aims to provide a detailed resource of guidance and inspiration covering all the aspects of business strategy, product/service design, project management and execution necessary for the successful introduction of new products and services, all under the auspices of a customer-focused Six Sigma approach. Moreover it provides a tangible way of measuring satisfaction and the success of the new.

Download or read book Design for Six Sigma written by Elizabeth A. Cudney and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is an innovative continuous improvement methodology for designing new products, processes, and services by integrating Lean and Six Sigma principles. This book will explain how the DFSS methodology is used to design robust products, processes, or services right the first time by using the voice of the customer to meet Six Sigma performance. Robust designs are insensitive to variation and provide consistent performance in the hands of the customer. DFSS is used to meet customer needs by understanding their requirements, considering current process capability, identifying and reducing gaps, and verifying predictions to develop a robust design. This book offers: Methodology on how to implement DFSS in various industries Practical examples of the use of DFSS Sustainability utilizing Lean Six Sigma techniques and Lean product development Innovative designs using DFSS with concept generation Case studies for implementing the DFSS methodology Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) enables organizations to develop innovative designs. In order to redesign an existing process or design a new process, the success is dependent on a rigorous process and methodology. DFSS ensures that there are minimal defects in the introduction of new products, processes, or services. The authors have compiled all of the tools necessary for implementation of a practical approach though innovation.
