Summary

This Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and risk management book provides the framework for identifying, assessing, and controlling risks that may be present in products, processes, projects, and operations through an algorithm of design using the six-sigma thinking, tools, and philosophy. The algorithm will also include the mathematical derivation for Six Sigma capability upfront, enabling design teams to change concepts that are not safe and effective upfront.
