We spend our lives improving products, services and processes which we have inherited – wouldn’t it be better if they had been designed right to begin with? 

Companies who have adopted DfSS have seen a significant reduction in time and cost to launch new products and services.  

DfSS accelerated development and advances the release date.

This programme explains how DfSS can be used to improve your ability to design products, services and products which are right first time – minimising costs associated with issues such as with design rework, delayed product launches, customer complaints and recalls.
