Six Sigma DMADV Consulting Services

Rent-a-Black Belt

In today’s business world, where risk is everywhere, and pressure to produce results at high speed makes time a ruthless enemy, creativity and innovation are key for organizations to ensure growth and prosperity. Those that recognize that, and take action to instill the design of new products and services into the fabric of their corporate culture will ensure progress, the ultimate ambition that brings people together.

Design is at the heart of progress. It can be a challenge though, as it is fundamentally anchored in conception, as we attempt to “solve a problem” that stands in the way of progress. That usually needs a team, an orchestra if you will, and a methodology to follow from the moment we define the problem to the moment we take the solution to the customer or the public in general.

In the overview section, we provide a general description of DMADV (Define – Measure – Analyze – Design – Verify), the methodology used to ensure, in simple terms, that we do the right thing the first time as we design a new product or a new service. Here, we describe what the SAM consultant can do for you and your organization to ensure that your deployment of DMADV is successful.

The SAM Master Black Belt, experienced in DMADV will:

• First and foremost, help you understand the fundamental differences between the practical application of DMADV in comparison with DMAIC (see DMAIC overview). That is, while in the former conceptual tools predominate, in the latter statistical tools take the front seat.
• Help you understand the characteristics of an appropriate DFSS governance structure.
• Assist you with the establishment of an effective DFSS project management system.
• Coach your DFSS teams during project execution, as they follow the DMADV methodology that is partially depicted in the figure shown below.
