Leadership for Implementation of a Comprehensive DFR-DFSS Program
With globalization of companies,
the competitive firms have solved the problem of Quality, Volume and
Cost by becoming lean. The question is how do you transform from
existing business processes and practices to the "new and improved"
business model? And how do you really know before you make the
structural changes? This session discusses the results of a systems
dynamics model that investigates the potential strategies that are
required to make an organization more effective and to launch
products flawlessly. This model shows that three policy changes are
required to change an organization to become a lean global player:
1) improving the quality of a product design before project launch,
2) improving the evaluation effectiveness of the product before
production approval and 3) controlling Key Reliability
Characteristics to a Cpk level greater than 2.0. This presentation
shows the steps to implement the suggested policy changes and
highlights the process to implement the final necessary policy
change in product evaluation effectiveness. Initial results from
case studies are reviewed.
Key Words: Life Cycle Cost,
Lean Engineering, Design for Reliability, Reliability within the
Business Operating System, Reliability within the Quality Operating
System, Launch Success
