Precission’s Professional Certification Seminars are the starting point for corporations needing to systemically advance their R&D processes.
All materials and coursework have been developed by Precission’s staff. All seminars are delivered by a Master Black Belt Certified DFSS instructor.
We combine an array of analytical tools with real-world experience.
As part of our certification, participants are required to complete a project to address a specific need present at your company.
Seminars offer the flexibility to conduct sessions at your location (onsite), or at a nearby location (offsite) to reduce distractions and improve retention. Instructor-to-student ratios are kept low to improve individual interactions.
Stay ahead of your competition by making these seminars a fixture of your ongoing DFSS program with regularly scheduled sessions for onboarding of new engineers and developing your existing staff. Ensure sustained value innovation and derisking of your new product development, now and to maintain your competitive position in the years to come.
DFSS Professional Green Belt Certification
Green Belt certified engineers produce better products that get to market faster with few defects and at lower costs. Better products also sell better. The outcome is enhanced revenues with lower costs and ultimately superior gross margins.
An ongoing DFSS Professional Green belt Certification program at your company is the foundation of sustained derisking of new product R&D, reducing potential defective product litigation and avoiding governmental scrutiny.
Seminar Description
This seminar is intended for R&D engineers and product managers. It provides perspectives and methodologies to ensure that innovation systematically focuses on customer and stakeholder requirements. It is a two-week seminar conducted over a two-month period. Week 1 in one month. Week 2 the following month.
Meaningful Application
After which, each participant will need to submit a DFSS Application Project to receive certification. This is their opportunity to demonstrate knowledge advancement with meaningful application and receive inciteful feedback from an experienced expert.
Agenda and Key Practices for Green Belt Certification
Week 1
· DFSS Overview and Introduction

· Basic Statistics: Background for Design Engineering Statistical Processes
· Capability and MSA: Probability of success and accuracy and precision of Measurement equipment
· Hypothesis Testing: Basic statistical testing for Comparisons up to ANOVA
· Simple Linear Regression: Development of statistical equations-based data
Week 2
· Predictive Engineering: Using transfer functions to develop statistical Models
· Robust Design: Looking at probability of success to improve product Robustness/Quality
· Designed Experiments: Efficient Experimentations for Characterizing Design and Optimizing Designs
· Monte Carlo Analysis: Predictive Engineering using software
· Optimization: Using above week 2 tools for improving the Probability of Success
· Statistical Tolerance: Stochastic Modeling for assigning and allocating tolerances
· DFMA: Design for Manufacture and Assembly
· Managing Risk: Management of Product and Project Risk and how this affects project Outcomes
· Design for Reliability: Design for Quality over time (Planning, Models and Allocation, and Testing)
· Control Theory and Application: Ensuring your Design has adequate control in manufacturing
DFSS Professional Black Belt Certification
Precission’s DFSS Black Belt Certification program goes far deeper into dozens of tools and practices used in DFSS, providing greater clarity into not only the how but also the why and when.
Learn from experience
Precission bridges the gap between technical knowledge and real-world experience. Too many DFSS instructors have never been engineers. Not with Precission. We have practiced what we preach. And it does make a difference. We know how to combine the expertise of academics with a functioning R&D department in a business environment.
Strategic Leadership
Your DFSS Professional Black Belt Certification is the bridge between Green Belt technical expertise and longer-term strategic R&D leadership. Black Belt Certified personnel are just one step removed from their full Master Black Belt Certification, at which point your DFSS program can be carried out entirely by in-house staff.
