About this ebook
This ebook is the project write-up for a demonstration of the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) method. The ebook includes the project charter, project schedule and project plan. The project charter is based on project management concepts. The project plan is based on the DFSS methodology of Define, Measure, Analyze, Design and Verify (DMADV).
The project duration and scope were kept small in order to better illustrate the technique.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose for this ebook is to illustrate the technique called Design for Six Sigma
(DFSS). I did this project as a personal project in order to practice DFSS. My recommendation to you is to skim through this ebook, and then use the technique described here to do your own project. This book should help you with the technique. Doing the project your self will help you integrate that knowledge into your personal toolset.

PROJECT TECHNIQUE
The purpose for documenting this project is to demonstrate key aspects of Project Management and Design For Six Sigma (DFSS). The execution of this project was managed through three key project management documents:
--
Project Charter -- to document authorization to proceed and set high level goals and objectives
Project Schedule -- to describe the sequencing of activities, document work assignments and track progress
Project Plan -- to describe how to manage the project
--
The key sections in the project charter within this ebook are:
Signatures: One of the most important components of a project charter is the signatures or authorizations that state that this project is to proceed. Too many projects with tightly defined goals flounder because they do not have backing. Get corporate buy-in before proceeding.
Integration: The purpose for this section is to outline the purpose for the project and describe the framework that will guide the project from inception to closure. Include a description of the business need that is motivating this project.
Scope: The purpose for this section of the Project Charter is to define what is included in this project and in the product that this project will create. Document the goals for this project and then expand on the specific objectives required to achieve those goals. Include a preliminary work breakdown structure if possible.
Time: Use this section of the document to describe the major project milestones. Also list
