Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical review of the definitions, objectives, activities, and tools applied in the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology. It also proposes a theoretical framework that provides a simplified and generic guide, which is not easily found in the scientific literature. The methodology used consists of 3 phases: (a) Systemic review, structured to search and select references on DFSS after 2009; (b) Selection of specific books on DFSS that were cited in the studies found in the systematic review (step “a”); (c) Application of the Bibliometrix scientific mapping tool. Seventeen definitions and objectives of DFSS were enumerated; 9 sets of DFSS structuring phases were observed; a list with 54 main activities and 72 tools that can be applied in DFSS was generated. This proposal aims to bring the DFSS methodology closer to the practical actions of engineering management.

摘要

本文对六西格码设计 (DFSS) 方法中应用的定义、目标、活动和工具进行了理论回顾。它还提出了一个理论框架，提供了简化和通用的指导，这在科学文献中并不容易找到。所使用的方法包括 3 个阶段： (a) 系统审查，旨在搜索和选择 2009 年之后关于 DFSS 的参考文献；(b) 选择系统评价中发现的研究中引用的关于 DFSS 的具体书籍（步骤“a”）；(c) Bibliometrix 科学绘图工具的应用。列举了 DFSS 的 17 个定义和目标；观察到 9 组 DFSS 结构化阶段；生成了可应用于 DFSS 的包含 54 项主要活动和 72 种工具的列表。
