To take advantage of Raytheon Design for Six Sigmas , Raytheon’s suppliers have access to a comprehensive portfolio of educational tools, from Web-based courses to customized training onsite. Being educated provides the opportunity to influence designs for smoother production ramps, more predictable costs and an enhanced relationship with Raytheon.

E-Learning
Web-based resources provide training, user templates and other resources: 

  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) analysis for feedback on the manufacturability and cost of designs
  • Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) of the design or supporting processes to anticipate and propose mitigation strategies for failure modes
  • Measurement Systems Analysis and Measurement Systems Correlation ensures complete alignment between Raytheon requirements and the production verification infrastructure
  • Lean Tools provide ideas and techniques to streamline production, reduce inventory and improve the bottom line
  • Root Cause Analysis techniques focus on teamwork and disciplined processes to consistently identify and resolve technical, manufacturing and business process challenges

Classroom-Based
Raytheon offers Raytheon Six Sigma (R6s ), Lean and DFSS training at various Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems facilities during the year. Raytheon strategic suppliers are eligible to enroll their employees at a cost equal to the Raytheon internal transfer rate. Suppliers receive hands-on training in the application of R6s , Lean and DFSS tools, enabling them to collaborate more effectively with Raytheon.

Onsite Workshops
Raytheon’s team of DFSS consultants will come to your location to deliver workshops that combine targeted training with onsite product engagements within a product improvement or cost reduction project. With a workshop, suppliers can:

  • Up-skill engineering and operations teams with high-impact tools, methods and processes to cut waste
  • Uncover opportunities to reduce manufacturing costs for components or systems through design simplification or specification modifications
