Senior Executives, Engineering Managers, Supervisors, and key Engineering personnel.

 

Purpose of the Training

This briefing provides insight and understanding about the best way to integrate DFSS into your Product Development processes. Executives will be able understand the activities that are necessary to meet the requirements of major automotive OEM’s for DFSS. During this training, you will:

 

·    See how DFSS can be integrated into Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)

·    See the basic “Triangle Model” for including DFSS in APQP activities

·    Learn more about how robustness tools drive the major issues in DFSS

 

What You Will Learn

·  Why DFSS is necessary in today’s hypercompetitive environment

·  What “IDDOV” means, and why you are probably already completing much of this process

·  How to respond intelligently to ever-decreasing project timeframes for new product programs

·  Why Quality Function Deployment is important, and how it drives innovation tools

·  Why project timeframes are decreasing, and why this is critical to new business opportunities

·  How “robustness tools” create a deductive basis for Design Failure Modes & Effects Analysis

·  What manufacturers can do to address the shrinking timeline of development

·  Why Taguchi Methods and other “Design of Experiments” tools are important

·  Why innovation is critical, and the correct way to build this into your project planning activities

·  How Failure Modes & Effects Analysis can change the way you design new products

·  Why reliance on testing for Design Verification is a major difficulty—and what to do about this

·  Why Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly are critical to your future success
