Design for Six Sigma

Validate Phase

  1. 1

    What validation testing has been completed and what are the results?

  2. 2

    Is there a significant gap between the actual capability and the predicted capability from the DFSS Scorecard?

    If so, what are the next steps to bridge that gap?

  3. 3

    What is the gap between current performance and the customer requirements (the CTCs)?

    What differences, if any, still remain?

  4. 4

    Has the production system been put under a state of quality control?

    What are the capability measures, such as Cp, Cpk and Defects per Unit (DPU)?

  5. 5

    What are the potential problems and/or unintended consequences of the design?

    What are the preventative and contingency actions to address them?

  6. 6

    How has all of this information been documented and communicated to the appropriate people (stakeholders, service, training, manufacturing, etc.)?

  7. 7

    Have drawings, sensitivity analyses and associated knowledge been shared and passed on to manufacturing?

  8. 8

    What is the total project benefit in terms of knowledge gain and quantified quality, cost, and delivery measures?
