MoreSteam.com recently introduced an online design for Six Sigma training program that uses a video game to illustrate design techniques. MoreSteam.com’s DFSS simulation incorporates the Roller Coaster Tycoon computer video game as an engaging learning platform. The simulation includes rich voice of the customer data, open playing fields of design options and an integrated financial model for evaluation of design effectiveness. The goal of the course is to show students how to transfer gaming technologies to enhance the value of DFSS tools in the workplace.

“DFSS techniques are technically challenging and their mastery requires substantial practice,” says Bill Hathaway, MoreSteam.com president. “So we designed this course to incorporate an innovative approach to practicing a DFSS project using realistic simulations.”
