DFSS: Redesigning Operations and Offerings

Born from Six Sigma principles, DFSS is founded on four shared characteristics. Whether the design challenge is a new IT system, a core business process, or a new prbduct, DFSS is about ensuring that each newly designed solution:

• Is customer focused
  
• Is defect free
  
• Produces major returns on investment
  
• Changes how managers operate
  

Yet DFSS extends from Six Sigma by adding more practical guidelines that drive the ultimate offering towards near perfection:

• Front load the pain.
  
• Capability or the ability to consistently perform to customer needs is the key.
  
• Commit to excellence without compromise.
  
• Concentrate on communication within your team and with your customers.
