- Define
- What is the mandate and the goal of the DFSS project is defined and a project plan is drawn up.
- Measure
- The customer needs are determined and development specifications (product requirements, specifications ) are derived from them. The appropriate methods are used to collect data for decision-making about how to proceed.
At the end of the phase you have:
- a data collection plan with data type and data collection method
- a validated measuring system
- enough sample data to analyze the process
- some preliminary evaluations to determine the main direction of the problem
- analysis
- The collected data are analyzed using statistical methods. Design alternatives are compared and the best solution is selected.
- design
- The detailed draft of the best solution is carried out and optimized.
- Verify
- The performance of the product is checked.
