           5.2 Form a Synergistic Design Team
           (DFSS Algorithm Step 1)
           A cross-functional energetic design team is one of the ultimate means of
           any design effort.The success of design development activities depends on
           the performance of this team that is fully integrated with representation
           from internal and external (suppliers and customers) members. Special
           efforts may be necessary to create a multifunctional DFSS team that
           collaborates to achieve a shared project vision. Roles, responsibilities,
