Reliability Focused Six Sigma Approach

The current set of tools taught and deployed by the Six Sigma Black Belts and professionals primarily focus on Statistical Process Control (SPC), Process Capability, correlation, multiple regression etc. However, reliability has gained and is gaining increasing importance in business priorities. The conventional Six Sigma Approach can therefore be strengthened by adding a set of reliability engineering tools to improve its effectiveness. We can call this Reliability Focused Six Sigma or RFSS. In this unique RFSS approach, the conventional Six Sigma tools can be augmented with reliability tools such as life data analysis, warranty data analysis, Robust Design, Shainin Tools: Paired Comparison, Component Search, Reliability Testing, Tolerance Stack-up Analysis etc.
