Software Design for Six Sigma – A Roadmap for Excellence : A Roadmap for Excellence

As the first to include the American Society for Quality s research , Software Design for Six Sigma provides design methodologies and various methods, like QFD, DOE, the robust method, FMEA, Design for X, Axiomatic Design, and TRIZ.

This proposal constitutes an algorithm of design applying the design for six sigma thinking, tools, and philosophy to software design.  The algorithm will also include conceptual design frameworks, mathematical derivation for Six Sigma capability upfront to enable design teams to disregard concepts that are not capable upfront, learning the software development cycle and saving development costs.    The uniqueness of this book lies in bringing all those methodologies under the umbrella of design and provide detailed description about how these methods, QFD, DOE, the robust method, FMEA, Design for X, Axiomatic Design, TRIZ can be utilized to help quality improvement in software development, what kinds of different roles those methods play in various stages of design and how to combine those methods to form a comprehensive strategy, a design algorithm, to tackle any quality issues in the design stage.
