DQE: Design, Quantity, Engineering Network and Responsibilities: Leading the way into the 21st century

Mike Reasoner

Abstract


This presentation will begin with the Definition of DQE. The Benefits of a centralized Person/Global Network concentrating on Design Robustness, Quality and Engineering Activities. What the DQE Vision looks like in a form of a Network, Personnel and related Roles and Responsibilities within that Network. The Process the Design follows (pre-) and (post) change as well as the Tools to execute the Methodology within any type of Company/Product.

Topics include the introduction of the Transfer Function and its benefits to the DQE. The Benchmarking Process using the Transfer Function thereby identifying the "Best in Class" Design in the Market representing the "Voice of the Customer". The QFD Process, Linked to the DFMEA. How the Transfer Function feeds the DFMEA. Establishing your Corporate Rules for "SC/CC's" within your Company Globally. The Process used for determining SC/CC's Mathematically for print and downstream processes. How the SC/CC's identify the risk thereby addressing the Pre-Tooled Stage and the Post Tooled Stage. The process used by the DQE for determining the Dimensional requirements for drawings, Standards, Templates for Components and Assemblies. The Final Output of the DQE which is the Blueprint and the Resulting Robustness output report, the DFMEA. In closing, how the Feedback from downstream processes filters back to the DQE Network and the resulting DQE Internal Papers.

Speaker Bio


Mike Reasoner, Director of Lean, Six Sigma and DQE (Global), LSS, MDFSS, MSSBB

Air International (US) (6-years):- Director of Lean, Six Sigma and DQE (Global)-: Responsible for establishing the DQE Vision, Network, Process, Training and Techniques used to Design, Engineer and incorporate Quality objectives within the New and Existing Products. Develop all training Materials, hire personnel, develop process for Lean Design, Lean Six Sigma Projects and Six Sigma Black Belt Projects. Holder of 20+ patents. Certified Master Black Belt. My strengths are using my DFSS abilities while taking the key strategies/methodologies from various topics which I've studied through the years thus combining them with other techniques thus forming a universal Solution centered on Design Robustness. I ultimately create an application/roadmap with a tailored process for an Organization. The DQE Process is one of my Successes used with Teleflex and Air International (US) with high degree of success.

Teleflex Corporation (13-years):- Director of Engineering. Responsible for establishing an Engineering Vision, Network, Process, Training, and Support of Quality and Manufacturing objectives at all levels within the Corporation. Rolled out (DQE) Process, DFSS tools/Methodology, Lean Design, Lean Six Sigma Process in Manufacturing and Root Cause Analysis methods used within the Quality Area.
