Abstract

Abstract This study describes the approach to integrate Six-sigma and Robust Design approaches on a US Marine Corps (USMC) program. Six Sigma and Robust Design techniques are tightly coupled to ensure that a design is both manufacturable and also serves the needs of the US Marines. Six Sigma is an aggressive (stretch) goal that sets a high standard of excellence for the development of a world class quality product (Short Range Anti-tank Weapon - SRAW) for the US Marines. This study also describes how the design team is linking Six Sigma and Robust Design, to ensure that a very complex product, with many steps and processes involved in its manufacture, can be recognized as a superior one.
