 Your One Design AdvertenceJun 14, 2003
Challenges traditional thinking and approaches to product and service design. Has an nice flow. One can easily find key topics for reference. We plan to use as one of our foundations for training. Deep, new perspectives on "old" tools and there applications. Exciting! Regardless of your level of expertise, I think you will learn from this book. Helpful for practitioners and beginners. Everyone designing products or services should be aware of this book. A nice section on theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ). DFSS is de-mystified in this work. Relevant case studies and examples. Underlying principles are more easily grasped. List of applications is endless. Each chapter can add value to your business or organization. Shows how Six Sigma rigor can be combined with pragmatism for superior results!

Application OrientedJul 01, 2003
By MK Sathya
In recent times, there has been a lot of talk and hype about DFSS with very little substance thus far--until this one! I found the book an easy read, application oriented and a relatively prescritive approach to apply DFSS for products, processes and/or services. The sections on TRIZ and Axiomatic Design expose the opportunities largely untapped in the design world today. A must read book for organizations serious about Six Sigma--whether they are focused on delivering worldclass products and services to their customers or designing processes to run world class business operations--a thumbs up all the way!!

Worth the buy!Apr 02, 2004
I have not found such a comprehensive book for design of six sigma. I started using this book for advanced experimental design and taguchi methods, but ended understanding the complete roadmap for design of six sigma. The systems approach allows an enthusiast reader to start anywhere, without having to spend time refering back to earlier chapters. The relatively newer trends as TRIZ and axiomatic design have also been nicely dealt with.
Overall, this is a very nice and easy read book, with excellent and well defined examples. A must for everyone who wants a quick refresher on the design principles of six sigma.

A book serves all your needsApr 02, 2004
By Amy
This is an outstanding DFSS book for production development. It contains integrated information and some of which you could hardly find anywhere else, thus with one book in hand, you have all the tools to get to your destination. This is also a easy to read book providing the reader with a solid understanding- Concepts are clearly defined, real world examples/ case studies are fully described and the chapters are well organized. It can serve as a textbook for students/beginners and also can serve as a handbook for experienced engineers.
The title says it all- this is a roadmap for you to find the way correctly and easily. I am reading the book right now, and the book is really beneficial to me.

Excellent for practitionersJun 10, 2003
By Ben
At first I wondered what another book on six sigma could really deliver, but after a close reading it is clear that DFSS is adds so much more above and beyond regular six sigma. The integration of basic six sigma theory with proven design methodologies such as QFD, Axiomatic Design, TRIZ, Design for X, FMEA, and Experimental Design provides a practical system that is applicable to enhancing product design performance in a wide range of industries. I highly recommend this book as a backbone for any Product Development system.
