 Improved process performance in new product development of optical communications manufacturing by the integration of DFSS and ANPWen-Tsann Lin, Shen-Tsu Wang, Chen-Hsang Hwang, Meng-Hua Li and Yu-Hsiu Cheng International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management, 2012, vol. 25, issue 4, 191-200 Abstract: In the trend of increasingly fierce global competition of optical communications industries, design for Six Sigma (DFSS) provides a systematic management approach using tools, training, and measurement methods to achieve products, services, and process designs that meet customer expectations. Taking transnational optical communications original equipment manufacturer (OEM) as the research objects, this study applied IDEF0, analytical network process (ANP), performance matrix analysis, and system simulation to propose a management model, which integrates DFSS with the development processes of new products for improvement and reengineering. The proposed research analysis model can reduce new product development process time by 30.24%. The findings of this research can serve as reference for the introduction of new product development process performance improvements. Keywords: design for six sigma; DFSS; new product development; NPD; process performance; analytical network process; ANP; optical communications; IDEF0; simulation.
