Description

The Latest Tools and Guidance Needed to Implement Design for Six Sigma in New Product and Service Development!

Hailed as a classic in its first edition, Design for Six Sigma has been fully revised and updated to equip you with everything you need to implement Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) in new product and service development.

The Second Edition of this indispensable design tool retains the core of the previous edition, while adding new information on innovation, lean product development, incomplete DOE, mixture experiments, and alternative DFSS roadmaps - plus new thread-through case studies.

From quality concepts and DFSS fundamentals . . . to DFSS deployment and project algorithm . . . to design validation, the updated edition of Design for Six Sigma gives you a solid understanding of the entire process for applying DFSS in the creation of successful new products and services.

Packed with detailed illustrations, careful directions and comparisons, and worked-out calculations, the Second Edition of Design for Six Sigma features:

A one-stop resource for developing a sure-fire DFSS program.
Expert walkthroughs that help readers choose the right design tools at every stage of the DFSS process.
New to this edition: New chapters on innovation, lean product development, and computer simulation; new material on critical parameter management; new thread-through case studies.

Providing real-world product development experience and insight throughout, the Second Edition of Design for Six Sigma now offers professionals in a wide range of industries the information required to maximize DFSS potential in creating winning products and services for today's marketplace.

Filled with over 200 detailed illustrations, the Second Edition of Design for Six Sigma first gives you a solid foundation in quality concepts, Six Sigma fundamentals, and the nature of Design for Six Sigma, and then presents clear, step-by-step coverage of:

Design for Six Sigma Deployment
Design for Six Sigma Project Algorithm
DFSS Transfer Function and Scorecards

Design Validation

From the Preface
We are extremely pleased by the overwhelming reception of the first edition of this book by readers all over the world. In this second edition, we have kept all the good materials of the first edition, and we added a substantial amount of new material based on the trend in the Lean Six Sigma movement and many readers' feedback. The following is a summary of what is added in the second edition.

The principles of lean operation are added and covered in great detail, and we also describe how the lean operation principles can be integrated with Six Sigma to form an effective Lean Six Sigma approach. All these additions are in Chapter 2 of the second edition.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is an effective approach to improve product value and quality in the design stage. Complementary to DFSS, lean product development is an emerging and effective system to improve product development efficiency and effectiveness, and to decrease product development lead time. This approach has been proved by many good practices such as those of Toyota. We believe that DFSS and lean product development should be carried out simultaneously in the product development process. In the second edition, the principles and practices of lean product development are covered in detail, and these materials can be found in Chapter 3.

In Design for Six Sigma practice, there are several alternative DFSS project roadmaps that are widely applied, such as IDOV (identify design, optimize, verify), and DMADV (define, measure, analyze, design, verify). We covered these DFSS roadmaps in the second edition. This material is found in Chapter 5.

Axiomatic design is an important tool in DFSS. In the second edition we added a new practical case study and more theorems and corollaries of the axiomatic design. This significant addition is seen in Chapter 8.

S-curve analysis of the technical system is an important part of TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), but it was not covered in the first edition. We added this in Chapter 9.

Design of experiment (DOE) is an important tool in DFSS. However, in many practical situations, we may not be able to complete all the experimental runs because of cost, schedule, lack of prior knowledge, and many other reasons. This will result in incomplete DOE. Incomplete DOE happens everywhere, but there are very few publications that teach people how to deal with it. The second edition has a very detailed description about how to analyze incomplete DOE in Chapter 12.

Robust design is a very important methodology in DFSS. In the first edition, we covered many effective robust design methods, such as static and dynamic Taguchi methods, and several tolerance design methods. In the second edition, we added substantial material in the area of computer-aided robust design, in which computer-assisted parameter and tolerance design are discussed, and a practical case study is described in great detail. These additions are found in Chapter 16.

Mixture experiment is a special kind of response surface method that can be used to deal with optimal design of mixtures and recipes. The mixture experiment can be a very effective DFSS tool if we are dealing with some design problems in the chemical, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. In the second edition, various topics on mixture experimental design and analysis are extensively discussed in Chapter 17.

Validation is always an important step in DFSS. In the first edition we discussed many issues regarding design and process validation. In the second edition, we added materials regarding the validation of the measurement equipment and systems in Chapter 18.

In summary, the second edition of this book includes many major additions covering a variety of important subjects. We believe the second edition will bring more value to our readers.
