Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a proactive Six Sigma approach for designing new products, services and processes to meet customer needs and reach Six Sigma quality levels from the start. It uses the DMADV roadmap, Define, Measure, Analyse, Design and Verify, to build quality in rather than fix defects later.

General

What is Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)?

Who should attend the Design for Six Sigma training?

The training suits design and quality engineers, R&D professionals, new product development managers, manufacturing engineers and Six Sigma practitioners. It is ideal for anyone in New Zealand responsible for designing new products, services or processes.

Is Design for Six Sigma worth it for New Zealand professionals?

Yes. New Zealand's medtech, food, agritech and manufacturing sectors compete on quality and reliability, so design quality skills are in demand. DFSS helps you cut redesign, lower warranty costs and get new products right first time, which employers value.

What is the difference between DFSS and DMAIC?

DMAIC improves existing processes that are underperforming, while DFSS designs new products, services or processes to meet requirements from the outset. This course covers DFSS and the DMADV roadmap. Organisations often use both: DMAIC to improve what exists and DFSS to design what is new.

Do I need prior Six Sigma knowledge to take this course?

No. There are no formal prerequisites. Familiarity with basic Six Sigma ideas such as CTQ and variation is helpful but not required, as the course introduces all DFSS tools and the DMADV methodology from first principles.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with invoicing available for corporate bookings. Speak with our team to arrange the payment method that suits you or your organisation.

Assessment

Is there an exam for the Design for Six Sigma training?

No. This is a non-certification, practical skills course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on DFSS tool exercises, case study examples and team discussion across the one-day programme.

Do I receive a certificate after the training?

You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. This is a completion record for a practical skills course, not a formal certification from an external awarding body.

How is learning assessed during the course?

There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply each DFSS tool, such as VOC to CTQ flow-down, QFD, the Pugh matrix and Design FMEA, to realistic design scenarios throughout the day, so you practise the skills as you learn them.

Does the training award a formal certification?

No formal certification or credential is awarded, as DFSS training has no examination or governing body. It builds practical design quality skills you can apply immediately, and you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

How long is the training and what format is it delivered in?

The programme runs for one day (8 hours) and is available in live online, classroom and onsite corporate formats. It covers all six DFSS modules with concept explanations, case examples and hands-on tool exercises.

Course Content

What will I learn in the Design for Six Sigma training?

You learn the DMADV roadmap and the core DFSS toolkit: Voice of the Customer, the Kano model, CTQ flow-down, Quality Function Deployment, Pugh concept selection, Design FMEA, robust design, and design verification and validation.

What tools does the DFSS course cover?

The course covers VOC capture, the Kano model, CTQ trees and flow-down, the QFD House of Quality, the Pugh selection matrix, Design FMEA with RPN, the P-diagram and Taguchi robust design, tolerancing, and the design scorecard for verification and transfer.

What is the DMADV roadmap?

DMADV is the most widely used DFSS roadmap and stands for Define, Measure, Analyse, Design and Verify. It guides teams from defining customer requirements through to verifying that a finished design meets those requirements before launch.

Are there hands-on exercises in the training?

Yes. Hands-on exercises run throughout the day, letting you apply VOC to CTQ flow-down, build a QFD House of Quality, use a Pugh matrix and complete a Design FMEA worksheet on realistic product or process design scenarios.

Which sectors is this training most relevant to in New Zealand?

DFSS applies wherever new products and processes are designed, so it is highly relevant to New Zealand's medical device, food and dairy processing, agritech, aerospace, electronics and advanced manufacturing sectors.
