Collaborative Design With Raytheon Design for Six Sigma™

Success Begins With Trust

A trusted collaborative relationship between Raytheon designers and our suppliers is the foundation for delivering Mission As to customers and capitalizing on growing business opportunities. We are working with our suppliers more closely than ever before — in designs, processes and operations.

While Raytheon Six Sigma optimizes current processes for peak performance, Raytheon Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) ensures that the architectures and designs that Raytheon develops deliver superior value to customers for performance, producibility and affordability. 

Raytheon’s DFSS employs a disciplined use of specialized tools and processes at prescribed stages of the product development lifecycle. It allows any supplier to provide input by communicating capabilities, concerns and producibility recommendations in a standard format to our designers for analysis and action. This process of early collaboration between Raytheon’s designers and your own engineering team enables us to offer best-value solutions for affordability, quality and delivery to our customers.

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.
