Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Training
DFSS Green Belt
Our DFSS Green Belt program is a two-week course which includes printed course materials and the software Quantum XL and Pro-Test. The course was created for design engineers with the simple goal of making them more effective in designing products to meet the customers’ requirements. Our approach to training includes multiple hands-on exercises, including the optimization of a self-balancing inverted pendulum robot.

DFSS Black Belt
Our DFSS Black Belt program is a one-week course which builds on the Green Belt course. Rather than a “one size fits all” approach, our DFSS Black Belt course is typically customized for each client to meet their specific needs. We have found that different clients will need different skills depending on their industry and goals.
DFSS Executive Overview
Our DFSS Executive Overview is for executives and managers who lead design groups. The course provides an introduction to DFSS and an overview of the methodology. This one day course includes printed course materials.
