EXAMPLE:
A System With 5 CTQ’s at Cpk of 1.33 / the quality level would be:
(0.99994)^5 = 99.97% or a Total Defect Level of 300 PPM (w/out process shift)
As More Variation Is Introduced (material, machine, man etc.) the Process Will Shift, The True Quality Level Would Be: (0.9938)^5 = 96.34 or a Total Defect Level of 36,000 PPM!!

Benefits of DFSS
• DFSS Tool Usage
– Defines Customer / Process / Component Specifications (CTQ Identification / Capability Targets Achieved)
– Monitors Critical to Quality Characteristics Throughout the Development Cycle
– Increases Product Development Confidence
– Reduces Product Uncertainty / Risk
– Significant Improvement to Product Quality Levels When Products Are Launched to Manufacturing
– Superior Customer Satisfaction With End Products
