Book excerpt: In this second volume of the Six Sigma Design for Reliability, we will explore the foundational principles associated with a Six Sigma improvement project. We will outline the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) model for managing your reliability improvement project, and provide a detailed description of techniques used to derive the improvement hypothesis that will help you explain why the current condition is incapable of meeting stakeholder expectations. Through measurement methods like "Maintainability" and "Reliability" we will discover the improvement priorities. Finally, this volume will discuss when and how to use "Root Cause Analysis", "Failure Modes and Effects Analysis" and "Graphical Analysis" techniques to recognize the source of sub-optimal performance in order to begin the improvement phase of your project and drive a better future value for your business.

Book excerpt: The first book to integrate axiomatic design and robust design fora comprehensive quality approach As the adoption of quality methods grows across various industries,its implementation is challenged by situations where statisticaltools are inadequate, yet the earlier a proactive quality system isintroduced into a given process, the greater the payback thesemethods will yield. Axiomatic Quality brings together two well-established theories,axiomatic design and robust design, to eliminate or reduce bothconceptual and operational weaknesses. Providing a completeframework for immediate implementation, this book guides designteams in producing systems that operate at high-quality levels foreach of their design requirements. And it shows the way towardsachieving the Six-Sigma target--six times the standard deviationcontained between the target and each side of the specificationlimits--for each requirement. This book develops an aggressive axiomatic quality approachthat: * Provides the tools to reduce conceptual weaknesses of systemsusing a framework called the conceptual design for capability * Reduces operational weaknesses of systems in terms of qualitylosses and control costs * Uses mathematical relationships to bridge the gap betweenscience-based engineering and quality methods Acclaro DFSS Light, a Java-based software package that implementsaxiomatic design processes, is available for download from a Wileyftp site. Acclaro DFSS Light is a software product of AxiomaticDesign Solutions, Inc.

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.
Download or read book Robust Design Methodology for Reliability written by Bo Bergman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-08-18 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on deep theoretical as well as practical experience in Reliability and Quality Sciences, Robust Design Methodology for Reliability constructively addresses practical reliability problems. It offers a comprehensive design theory for reliability, utilizing robust design methodology and six sigma frameworks. In particular, the relation between un-reliability and variation and uncertainty is explored and reliability improvement measures in early product development stages are suggested. Many companies today utilise design for Six Sigma (DfSS) for strategic improvement of the design process, but often without explicitly describing the reliability perspective; this book explains how reliability design can relate to and work with DfSS and illustrates this with real–world problems. The contributors advocate designing for robustness, i.e. insensitivity to variation in the early stages of product design development. Methods for rational treatment of uncertainties in model assumptions are also presented. This book promotes a new approach to reliability thinking that addresses the design process and proneness to failure in the design phase via sensitivity to variation and uncertainty; includes contributions from both academics and industry practitioners with a broad scope of expertise, including quality science, mathematical statistics and reliability engineering; takes the innovative approach of promoting the study of variation and uncertainty as a basis for reliability work; includes case studies and illustrative examples that translate the theory into practice. Robust Design Methodology for Reliability provides a starting point for new thinking in practical reliability improvement work that will appeal to advanced designers and reliability specialists in academia and industry including fatigue engineers, product development and process/ quality professionals, especially those interested in and/ or using the DfSS framework.
