DMAIC

Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control

A data-driven quality strategy used for improving processes. Here’s a brief overview of each phase:

1. Define: Identify the problem or the process that needs improvement.
2. Measure: Collect data related to the current process or problem.
3. Analyze: Investigate the data to determine the root cause of the problem.
4. Improve: Develop and implement solutions to address the root cause.
5. Control: Monitor the improvements to ensure they are sustained over time.

This methodology is often associated with Six Sigma but can be applied in various business and manufacturing contexts to enhance efficiency and quality.
