Overview/Description
The goal of robust design is to provide a more efficient, cost-effective means of improving a product or process. Designed to ensure consistent, high-level performance in line with strict customer requirements, the robust design methodology relies on an organized framework of experimentation and analysis to develop a product or process. This approach to engineering and design results in reduced product and process variability, so that the product or process under development is minimally impacted by use-conditions and other uncontrollable factors. By deploying a variety of strategies to reduce sensitivity to the noise factors that degrade performance, it also ensures maximum robustness. In this way, robust design facilitates the development of products and processes that achieve the required level of performance at the minimum expenditure, in the shortest timeframe, and under a wide range of use-conditions.
Target Audience
Candidates for Black Belt certification; managers/executives overseeing personnel involved in the implementation of Six Sigma in their organization; consultants involved in implementing a Six Sigma proposal; and organizations implementing a Six Sigma project.
Prerequisites
These courses are part of our wider Six Sigma Black Belt deployment. We are following the ASQ Six Sigma Black Belt Certification. The ASQ Body of Knowledge is available at: http://www.asq.org/certification/six-sigma/bok.html
Expected Duration (hours)
