How Does DMAIC Fare In The Wider View Of Things?
Six Sigma DMAIC, as everyone knows, encompasses every aspect of doing business. DMAIC emphasizes Defining, Measuring and Analyzing variations in processes already in place. The use of the right tools after defining each process for measuring critical parameters throws up deviations which otherwise would have continued to exist. All too clearly, the central force of DMAIC is applied at removing process errors and eliminating wastage, which consumes resources to unmanageable proportions. (This underlines the big savings achieved by GE, Motorola, Honeywell and many others over the years.) DFSS has many variants which are practically being used by various industries. The reason for this variance is not all too difficult to comprehend, as the methodology is not still universally acknowledged so as to be standardized. Each one of the trainers might teach the concept differently which goes on to manifest as different implementation styles. DCCDI, DMEDI and IDOV are the three significant metho
