Emphasizing the power of up-front planning techniques to prevent projects from imploding, this book explains the tools and concepts of Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) in an easy to understand style. By adding a layer of statistical methods and tools to the front-end of a project, DFSS augments the standard Six Sigma process to ensure that a project fully meets the customers' needs so that delays caused by new requirements and rework after implementation are either eliminated or substantially reduced. Detailed case studies demonstrate project management fundamentals and common pitfalls to translate concepts into practical applications
