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.
Our mission is to democratise Six Theta® robust design through high-impact training programmes and easy accessible tools.
So, if you are aiming for serious and modern robust design upskilling, Six Theta® absolutely deserves a slot in your training programme, your skill-set and tool belt.
Training and certification
Six Theta® bridges an important gap in robust design by focusing on the design ahead of process control. Our viewpoint is that variation will happen anyway, so designs must survive it naturally. With Six Theta® training you learn how to detect hidden ‘design weaknesses’ in your existing and new design. You learn how to make your design insensitive to variation before you turn to DOE, detailed tolerance optimisation and expensive process control.
The usual standard robust design courses don't include this, so if you are aiming for serious and modern robust mechanical design upskilling, Six Theta® absolutely deserves a slot in your training programme and skill-set.
Highly relevant for mechanical designers as well as design team leads, production engineers, QA/QC, procurement, suppliers and decision makers.
We offer:
-
Upskilling of individuals, teams and organisations in Six Theta® robust design
-
High impact learning – participants score the Six Theta® courses 4.6 / 5
-
Standardised online and on-site courses at different levels – from awareness to advanced practitioner:
1. Six Theta® White Belt – introduction course, for everyone
2. Six Theta® Green Belt – robust interface design, for practitioners
3. Six Theta® Black Belt – robust design of systems and products, for advanced practitioners
-
Certification with personal digital badges for LinkedIn
-
Company-specific programmes and workshops – tailored to the needs of your organisation
Application and implementation support
Our training programmes are effectful and participants score them high – however, for most organisations it typically takes a bit more to ensure consistent use, standardisation and proficiency build-up of newly acquired skills and tools.
Based on deep experience with high-impact learning and change management, we recommend a structured approach ensuring successful implementation and benefit realisation from your upskilling efforts.
We offer:
-
On-the-job Six Theta® application support for designers – 1:1 sparring or small-group sessions
-
Advice on how to ensure proficiency build up and standardisation of Six Theta®
-
Establishment of lighthouse cases from your company – illustrating the power of Six Theta®
-
Post implementation follow-up – simple assessments and actionable recommendations
Tools for robust design
During the Six Theta® training, we introduce certain tools supporting analysis and creation of Six Theta® compliant robust design.
Our tools are simple by design, yet powerful in use with basic functionalities as well as more advanced and automated features.
We provide most of our tools free of charge when you attend the associated training programmes.
We offer:
-
Tool for tolerance analysis and variation management
-
The kinematic cockpit with design weakness index calculation (DWI®)
-
Independent advice on further tools for robust design
