Six Sigma and Beyond: Design for Six Sigma, Volume VI

In summary, simulation is of value in connection with DFSS because:

Design problems are discovered sooner.

• Shortens development time

• Provides better overall quality

• Permits early optimization of the design

Build-and-test is supplemented by computer simulations.

• Permits lower testing budgets

• Shortens development time

• Permits evaluation of alternative designs

• Minimizes overdesign by evaluating early in cycle

Therefore, with the aid of simulation we are capable of:

• Less time spent designing

• Less time spent testing

• Less time spent changing

Result: Better products ...

in less time...

at a lower cost.

And that is what DFSS is all about.
