Explain the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology in Six
Sigma. How can it be applied to improve a manufacturing process?
Ans
DMAIC is a step by step, guide for solving problem and making things better especially in
manufacturing process. where
D stand for Define : Identify the problem, set goals, understand customers requirements.
M stand for Measure : Collect Data to assess the current process performance
Analyze: Determine the root causes of defect of inefficiencies.
Improve: implement solution to fix problem and enhance e the process.
Control: Monitor and standardize the process to maintain continuous improvement.
DMAIC provides a roadmap for identifying problems, understanding their root causes,
implementing improvement and ensuring that this improvement last.
it helps industries make manufacturing process systematic and achieve desired goals by

3. Shortening production cycle time.
4. Lowering production cost improving customer satisfaction.
5. Establishing a controlled process that maintain improvement over time
