Identify the phase of the design process illustrated in the following scenario, and justify its importance. Kristin has recently designed a hydraulic robot. She is about to visit the site where the robot is currently assembling fragrance bottles; she wants to ensure that it is working correctly and meeting the needs of her client.

Answer 1

Answer:

The design process is at the verify phase of Design for Six Sigma

Explanation:

In designing for Six Sigma, DFSS, is a product or process design methodology of which the goal is the detailed identification of the customer business needs by using measurements tools such as statistical data, and incorporating the identified need into the created product which in this case is the hydraulic robot Kristin Designed

Implementation of DFSS follows a number of stages that are based on the DMAIC (Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve) projects such as the DMADV which stand for define - measure - analyze - verify

Therefore, since Kristin is currently ensuring that the robot is working correctly and meeting the needs of her client the design process is at the verify phase.
