© 2002 Six Sigma Academy Eliminate Waste Reduce Variability Growth Six Sigma Elements Designing products, services, and processes that satisfy both client and business needs at six sigma quality Growth and Innovation Report-Out Questions and Key Concepts The Tollgate Process Use of a tollgate process provides discipline in the development and design of products and services. DFSS methodology allows us to create designs that are six sigma aligning client requirements and business capabilities. Questions for reviewing the Tollgate Process –  Do you have a signed charter that identifies the roles of your team and secures leadership commitment?  What was your process to gather customer needs.  When issuing surveys, what did you communicate to your customers regarding the use of their information?  Do you have a project plan?  What was your source for competitive benchmarking?  What risks did you identify moving between Client Needs and Conceptual Design.  What tools did you use to work through the design process to ensure that the best solutions were validated. DFSS Key Concepts The Kano Analysis The Kano Analysis provides A method to classify client wants Into three distinct groupings Delighters, Satisfiers, and One Dimensional wants Pilot new design Confirm Client requirements are met Implement new design V VALIDATE PHASE For the validate stage of your project: DFSS Key Concepts Tollgate #7 Deliverables Implement Design Plans Implement Control Plans Transition plans Capability Flow Up Launch Satisfaction Dissatisfaction Service Dysfunctional Service Fully Functional One- Dimensional Delighters Must Be DMAIC projects often generate DFSS projects AnalyzeMeasureImproveControlDefine MeasureImproveControl DefineAnalyze Design for Six Sigma Yes Is the Improvement a new or redesigned process or service? No Does the process/ product exist? No Yes No Yes Will achieving entitlement accomplish goals? Yes DFSS Key Concepts TRIZ TRIZ is a process of analyzing Contradictions and using a method Of innovation founded in the former Soviet Union in the 1960’s that was Based on investigating millions of Patents to develop an approach to Dealing with the contradiction.
