DFSS

Practice: Strategic Quality Focus

Challenge

A multi-billion dollar automotive supplier was on the brink of losing its OEM customer since it was unable to meet its quality requirement. They sought a strategic quality focus to increase their quality levels and asked ASI Consulting Group to help.

ASI Solution

After our first analysis, it was clear to the team that the company needed to implement DFSS in order to reach their strategic quality focus. ASI’s Subir Chowdhury developed the concept in his 2005 book, “Design for Six Sigma.” ASI has maintained a high-level understanding of implementation and requirements. We conducted a comprehensive review of the client’s quality practices and developed an implementation plan using DFSS.

Achieved Benefit

Quality was increased and the business with the OEM was not only saved, but increased.
