Abstract:

Quality excellence in both Design and Manufacturing are keys to the success for any business in delighting the customers with products that meet or exceed their expectations. This roundtable will explore important linkages, protocols, and lessons learned from successful Manufacturing and Six Sigma Design applications. In particular, the cost of a design change made in the engineering phase prior to release to manufacturing is much lower than the same change if it is made after the design is released to manufacturing. The importance of using the right tools for the right applications in manufacturing and design will be stressed. We will also discuss understanding the influence that design choices have on achieving a robust manufacturing system.
