Product Performance Improvement Proposal: a Multi-Methodological Approach from Design for Six Sigma and Design of Experiments

EasyChair Preprint no. 11166

Abstract

This article uses the structure and elementary concepts of the Design of experiments to apply to the corporate environment, as a structural basis for the stability of the manufacturing process, improvement of product performance, and, consequently, the reduction of industrial costs (a constant bottleneck in the corporate environment). The fundamental proposal used in the experimentation is the concrete understanding of the impact of the input variables (factors), as well as knowing the relationship (interaction) between them. Only that, with such knowledge, there is full mastery of the process in question. As it is a robust model, which is associated with an investment for its implementation, it is understood that, in a previous stage, the process or product that will be analyzed is in complete alignment with the strategic objectives of the business. Thus, after modeling and applying the Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) philosophy and its various methodologies, together with statistical experimentation techniques, it was concluded that it is possible to maximize the performance of a product starting from the strategic vision of the business and unfolding it into a practical product (service) actions.

Keyphrases: Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Design of Experiments (DOE), product development
