time for DESIGN

摘要

DfSS is a structured methodology which takes a close look at an organisation's existing processes and designs an optimal solution right for today's environment and customers. It is a structured way of working, which, if done well, will ensure any output is as close to perfect as possible. DfSS creates new processes and products that are designed for immediate six sigma capability. Significantly, the resulting improvements are in areas that are most valued by customers and process users. DfSS makes a direct connection between what is required and what is produced, at near perfect quality. This year, many organisations chose to implement six sigma and DfSS simultaneously, while accepting that some benefits could be achieved through improvements but that others would justify a more substantial redesign. This focus on business growth and development is what makes DfSS so exciting. It allows for the freedom to design a totally new way of doing business, rather than simply building on existing business processes.
