The Design for Six Sigma Certification, also called DFSS Certification, is designed to test your knowledge of Six Sigma with new-process design principles. DFSS uses the Six Sigma methodology to develop new products, services, or processes. The main objective of DFSS is to “design it right the first time” to avoid redoing or redesigning a new process.
Many industries find DFSS a great match for marketing, product, and new process development. It's now used heavily in industries like logistics, finance, marketing, manufacturing, information technology, and more. DFSS reviews conceptual vulnerabilities and operational vulnerabilities while infusing quality design principles during the initial process design phase. Unlike a regular Six Sigma project which focuses on fixing an existing process, DFSS determines the needs of the custom, then designs a process to meet those needs.
DFSS uses processes similar to Six Sigma's DMAIC process. The most common is the DMADV process, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify. It creates a new process using Six Sigma principles to help ensure "waste" is mitigated in the initial process design. Having your Design for Six Sigma Certification will highlight that you have an understanding of the different implementation options of DFSS and how they can be applied.
