Democratising robust design worldwide
Six Theta® closes an important gap in the discipline of robust design – reducing your development time, lowering production cost and increasing quality for more sustainable products.
Six Theta® is for design, what six sigma is for production - a methodology for robust design of mechanical products. Robust design [the discipline of reducing sensitivity to variation] is not a new discipline in itself, but Six Theta® is!
Six Theta® reduces design complexity and sensitivity in the early design stages – well-ahead of traditional process control methods that only compensates design weaknesses at a symptom level. Our viewpoint is that variation will happen anyway, so the design needs to survive it naturally to the extent possible. We are not dismissing prototyping, tolerance optimisation and variance control, we are simply adding Six Theta® to close an important gap in robust design.
In addition, Six Theta® provides unprecedented transparency on the robustness of your design – the design weakness index (DWI®) is an objective metric providing shared understanding across designers, production engineers, suppliers and decision makers.
With Six Theta®, you avoid time-consuming design iterations. You ease your tolerance requirements leading to increased manufacturability, ease of assembly and generally reduced costs of poor quality (CoPQ) – all for the benefit of business and your customers in a time of sustainability.
SERVICES
Engineering consultancy is no new invention, but Six Theta® design is - we urge you to tap in and benefit from it.
We support organisations by offering our proprietary Six Theta® methodology for achieving unambiguous engineering design of products and components. The impacts of Six Theta® include reduced development time, lower production costs and less quality issues leading to faster ramp-up, more durable products and happy customers – in short, less design waste.
In addition, in-market performance of products will be less vulnerable to changes in ambient conditions. Our mindset is that, before going into detailed design, we should be able to predict how our solution will perform in tests and in the hands of the end user.
If you are aiming for serious and modern upskilling in robust design, Six Theta® absolutely deserves a slot in your training programme, your skill-set and tool belt.
