Six Sigma Methodology The two primary
Six Sigma methodologies are DMAIC and
DMADV. Each has its own set of recommended procedures for business transformation.
DMAIC is a data-driven method to improve existing products or services for better customer satisfaction. It is the acronym for the five phases D – Define, M – Measure, A – Analyse, I – Improve, and C – Control.
DMAIC is applied in the manufacturing of a product or delivery of a service.
DMADV is part of the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) process used to design or redesign different product manufacturing or service delivery processes. The five phases of DMADV are D – Define, M – Measure, A – Analyse, D – Design, and V – Validate. DMADV is employed when existing processes do
not meet customer conditions,
even after optimization, or when it is required to develop new methods. It is executed by Six Sigma Green Belts and Six Sigma Black Belts and under the supervision of Six Sigma Master Black Belts. We'll get to the belts later.
80 The two methodologies are used indifferent business settings. Professionals seeking to master these methods and application scenarios would do well to take an online certificate program taught by industry experts.
