Assignment -

Learning Objectives -

This unit focuses upon the following CLO: Investigate good product design including issues related to cost, manufacturability, and quality and employing design for manufacturability (DFM) techniques.

Using these Unit Learning Outcomes:

1. Employ innovation and creativity using the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) process and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) as a planning process to optimize designs.

2. Utilize design reviews to stimulate discussion and prompt questions among designers to anticipate problems and recommend corrective design actions.

3. Examine the characteristics of Design Failure Mode And Effects Analysis (DFMEA).

Activity 1: Discussion

Watch the video below and then respond to the discussion question.

Video - FMEA: How To Perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Tutorial.

Discuss (with examples) how DFMEA might be used in a service application rather than in a pure product design application.

Activity 2: Submission

Write a 4 page paper in APA format (not including the cover page and reference page). You MUST provide citations and references with peer reviewed articles to support your research; specifically address the following issues:

Part 1: First, conduct research in the LIRN about designing for Six Sigma. Then respond to the following prompts. Provide examples from your readings. What is Design for Six Sigma? Explain the four basic elements of DFSS and the various tools and methodologies that comprise this body of knowledge. How have the companies that you researched applied these tools?

Part 2: Application

Newphonia, Inc., is working on a design for a new personal digital assistant. They surveyed potential customers to determine the characteristics that the customers want and expect in a PDA. Newphonia's studies have identified the most important customer expectations as:

a. Initial cost

b. Reliability

c. Ease of use

d. Features

e. Operating cost

f. Compactness

Develop a set of technical requirements to incorporate into the design of a House of Quality relationship matrix to assess how well your requirements address these expectations. Refine your design as necessary, based on the initial assessment.

Activity 3: Blog

Instruction: Please respond with at least 125 words. You may respond to your classmates, but you are not required to.

Discuss the following questions related to the Banner Pharmacaps Six Sigma in Practice vignette.

What role did training of employees and champions in lean Six Sigma concepts play in meeting their quality improvement, cycle time, and employee development objectives for their operations?

How did Banner's R&D scientist use the DMADV approach and DOE tools to reduce the time required for development and registration of products with the FDA?

What savings was Banner able to realize, based on their projects?
