Speaker
Robert O’Shea, Sr. Principal Systems Engineer with Honors, Raytheon Network Centric System’s facility
Description
Design for Six Sigma in Systems Engineering Raytheon's robust, systems engineering approach centers on an optimization of performance, affordability, and producibility. Critical Parameter Management (CPM) is driven from the top through the use of a statistically based Design Margin Index (DMI). This design margin performance is predicted early on, verified during integration and test and then validated in production. Statistical Design Methods (SDM) is used in the development process to make trades with the customer and to reduce life cycle costs.
Statistical methods, based on Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques, are also used to optimize system level tests. Examples will be presented that successfully applied these techniques. Lost opportunities will also be shown to illustrate the contrast.
