for Six Sigma (DFSS)
One of @RISK’s main uses in Six Sigma is with DFSS at the planning stage of a new project. Testing different processes on physical manufacturing or service models or prototypes can be cost prohibitive. @RISK allows engineers to simulate thousands of different outcomes on models without the cost and time associated with physical simulation. @RISK is helpful at each stage of a DFSS implementation in the same way as the DMAIC steps. Using @RISK for DFSS gives engineers the following benefits:
- Experiment with different designs / Design of Experiments
- Identify CTQs
- Predict process capability
- Reveal product design constraints
- Cost estimation
- Project selection – using RISKOptimizer to find the optimal portfolio
- Statistical tolerance analysis
- Resource allocation – using RISKOptimizer to maximize efficiency
