We operate in similar circumstances. Classic data-driven Six Sigma is not the most effective in these scenarios.

DFSS

Kapil,

Stan,
I would really like to know what YBAYDS stands for :)

As you may read in this website, DFSS is used for new products. However, there might be a case where the existing process has been optimised employing DMAIC and still doesn’t meet the six sigma level(usually at a 5sigma or 4.8, depends on whom you ask or read). In that case, you may use DFSS. 
Another hypothesis states that the desicion is not s…[Read more]

Design Failure Mode & Effects Analysis

What makes you think you can play ball? You feel insulted because you dont have a clue of what Six Sigma is. It’s much much more than statistics. First learn about it and then critisize.

Check the journal ”Forecasting Management Philosophy Life Cycles: A comparative study of Six Sigma and TQM” QMJ Vol. 12, No.2 2005, ASQ by R.J. Goeke.
I’m not saying he’s absolutely right but it’s an interesting one. He suggests that SixSigma has approximately 7 years left in its life cycle…

You may also find it as FMECA

As far as i know, FMCA ( Failure Modes and Criticality Analysis) is an extension of FMEA it uses CA to rank the results than just the result of multiplying frequency, severity and chances

Hi,
There’s a paper written by Cheryl Harelstad and Dan Swartwood : The Value of Combining Best Practices, at the ASQ Six Sigma Forum Magazine. Have a look at it.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for you reply

Stan,
It was not my intention to send you any kind of resume of my PhD. 
I can’t understand why you have this negativity about phd’s. Setting new paradigms for manfacturing/service organizations  is not something new, and in some cases they have been succesfully developed through academia and applied by practitioners. 
Kind Regards,
