To compete in today's rapidly changing business world, companies must be able to go to production with innovative designs. And they must be able to quickly attain high-yield, cost-contained, robust results to achieve high-quality, profitable products.

The latest automotive electronics features open up an array of opportunities for product and brand differentiation, but they also present unprecedented challenges for an industry faced with high volume production. When the development process encompasses hardware and software, analog and digital signals, sensors and actuators, or even a mix of disciplines, such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic, it can be extremely difficult to manage efficiently.

Model-driven Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) combines DFSS or Lean DFSS technology with a model-driven development process that builds on the strengths of each.

• In a DFSS process, Six Sigma principles are applied during the product development process to eliminate potential quality problems before the product goes to volume manufacturing.
• A model-driven development approach provides a framework for dealing with—and communicating about—complex development processes.
