    For Individuals

    For Individuals

    Design for Six Sigma training helps engineers and quality professionals design products and processes that work right the first time. You learn the DMADV methodology and the tools to capture customer needs, translate them into design requirements, and verify performance before launch. Whether you design medical devices, electronics, pharmaceutical processes or industrial products, the training builds capability you can use on your next project.

    If you already know DMAIC and want its design counterpart, DFSS completes your Six Sigma toolkit. You leave able to lead or contribute to DMADV projects, facilitate VOC workshops, build QFD matrices and structure design verification plans.

    • Apply the DMADV roadmap to real new product and process design projects
    • Turn Voice of the Customer into measurable CTQs that guide every design decision
    • Build and read a QFD House of Quality to set the right engineering targets
    • Use the Pugh matrix to compare concepts and select the strongest design objectively
    • Run a Design FMEA to find and reduce design risks before they reach production
    • Design for robustness so products perform consistently despite real-world variation
    • Stand out to Malta's manufacturing and life sciences employers with in-demand design skills
    • Bridge the gap between DMAIC improvement work and designing quality in from the start
    For Organizations

    For Organizations

    Design for Six Sigma group training helps organisations design quality into new products and processes from the outset. Teams learn to apply the DMADV roadmap and DFSS tools to their own live design projects during the sessions. For manufacturers and life sciences firms that compete on quality and reliability, this training builds the design discipline that prevents defects rather than chasing them.

    If your new product development produces too many late design changes, DFSS gives your teams a structured, tool-based way to get the design right earlier. The result is faster launches, lower cost of poor quality and more reliable products.

    • Builds first-time-right design capability across engineering and R&D teams
    • Reduces costly late design changes, rework and warranty claims
    • Strengthens design controls for regulated medical device and pharmaceutical work
    • Creates a shared DFSS language across design, quality and manufacturing

    Why Design Quality Skills Are in Demand in Malta

    Regulated Medical Device Design

    Malta's growing medical device sector must meet EU MDR and ISO 13485 design controls, where Design FMEA and design verification are effectively mandatory. DFSS gives engineers the structured tools these regulated designs demand.

    DFSS builds design control and risk skills

    Generic Drug Development Race

    Maltese pharma firms develop generics ahead of patent expiry under the island's research exemption. QFD and robust design translate target product profiles into processes that hit quality from the first batch.

    DFSS builds QFD and robust design skills

    Semiconductor First-Pass Yield

    STMicroelectronics runs one of Europe's largest assembly and test sites at Kirkop, where design robustness drives yield. DFSS parameter and tolerance design reduces sensitivity to process variation.

    DFSS builds parameter and tolerance design skills

    New Product Introduction Pressure

    Electronics and precision manufacturers on the island launch new products fast, and late design changes are costly. The DMADV roadmap builds a right-first-time discipline that shortens development cycles.

    DFSS builds DMADV and first-time-quality skills

    Design Engineering Talent Gap

    Malta's compact talent pool is short of engineers fluent in QFD, Design FMEA and Taguchi robust design. Professionals with these DFSS tools stand out to advanced manufacturing employers.

    DFSS makes skilled design engineers stand out

    Cost of Poor Quality

    Warranty claims, scrap and rework erode margins for export-focused Maltese manufacturers. Designing quality in with DFSS is far cheaper than finding and fixing defects after launch.

    DFSS builds defect-prevention skills

    Sources: trade.gov Malta country commercial guide; Malta Enterprise Advanced Manufacturing overview; STMicroelectronics; BusinessNow.mt (2026).

    DFSS is a practical skill set for anyone designing products or processes in Malta. Build the tools to design quality in from the start and prevent defects before they happen. Begin today.

    Your Malta Design Capability Shift

    Your Design Capability, Before and After DFSS

    The DFSS Tools You Will MasterSkills for Every DMADV Phase

    This Design for Six Sigma training covers the full DFSS toolkit across the DMADV roadmap. By the end of the one-day programme you can capture customer needs, translate them into design requirements, select and de-risk concepts, and verify a design before it reaches production.

    The DMADV Roadmap

    Apply the five DMADV phases (Define, Measure, Analyse, Design, Verify) to structure any new product or process design project, from first customer need to a verified, launch-ready design.

    Voice of the Customer and Kano Analysis

    Capture stated and latent customer needs and classify them as must-be, performance or delighter requirements using the Kano model, so design effort goes where it matters most.

    CTQ Flow-Down and QFD

    Translate customer requirements into measurable Critical to Quality characteristics and build a Quality Function Deployment House of Quality that sets the right engineering targets.

    Concept Selection with the Pugh Matrix

    Generate multiple design concepts and compare them objectively against a datum with the Pugh matrix, then combine the strongest ideas into a stronger hybrid design.

    Design FMEA and Risk Reduction

    Run a Design FMEA, calculate Risk Priority Numbers from severity, occurrence and detection, and prioritise the design actions that remove risk before it reaches production.

    Robust Design and Verification

    Use the P-diagram, Taguchi robust design and tolerancing to cut sensitivity to variation, then plan design verification, validation and the design scorecard for a clean transfer.

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six DFSS modules, hands-on tool exercises, course materials and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to confirm what is included in your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for engineering, R&D and quality teams in Malta. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    In what currency is training priced in Malta?

    Training for learners in Malta is quoted in euros (EUR). The final price depends on the delivery format and, for teams, on group size. Ask a learning advisor for current figures.

    Are payment or instalment options available?

    Yes. We accept major cards and bank transfers, and instalment options are available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Design for Six Sigma training?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on DFSS tool exercises, case study examples and team discussion during the one-day programme.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. It records your participation and the DFSS skills covered, and there is no separate credential to maintain.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    Learning is applied rather than examined. You work through practical exercises such as VOC to CTQ flow-down, a QFD House of Quality, a Pugh concept matrix and a Design FMEA on realistic design scenarios throughout the day.

    Does the training expire or need renewal?

    No. The DFSS skills you gain do not expire and require no renewal. The methodology and tools are immediately applicable to your design and development work and stay relevant across projects.

    Will I be able to apply DFSS at work afterwards?

    Yes. After the course you can apply the DMADV roadmap, run VOC workshops, build QFD matrices, conduct Design FMEAs and plan design verification on live new product and process projects.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Design for Six Sigma course cover?

    The course covers DFSS foundations and the DMADV roadmap, the Define phase (VOC and Kano), Measure (CTQ flow-down and QFD), Analyse (concept selection and Design FMEA), Design (robust design and DFMA) and Verify (design verification, validation and transfer).

    What tools will I learn to use?

    You learn Voice of the Customer capture, the Kano model, CTQ flow-down, Quality Function Deployment, the Pugh matrix, Design FMEA with RPN scoring, the P-diagram, Taguchi robust design, design tolerancing and design verification methods.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. Practical exercises run throughout the day, applying VOC to CTQ flow-down, QFD House of Quality construction, the Pugh concept selection matrix and a Design FMEA worksheet to realistic product and process design scenarios.

    How long is the training?

    The course is delivered in one day (eight hours), covering all six DMADV phases with concept explanations, real-world design case examples and hands-on DFSS tool exercises. A half-day format across two sessions is also available.

    Is the content relevant to my industry?

    Yes. DFSS applies across medical devices, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive components, consumer goods and industrial equipment, all sectors well represented among Malta's manufacturers, and the tools transfer to service and process design too.
