DMAIC VS DMADV http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/ WHAT IS DMAIC? DMAIC - is a data-driven incremental process improvement methodology in the Six Sigma philosophy. It is an acronym which stands for D - Define M - Measure A - Analyze I - Imp rove C - Control http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/ WHAT IS DMADV? DMADV is one of the process improvement methodologies under Six Sigma. DMADV is sometimes known as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) or Identify, Design, Optimize and Verify (IDOV). DMADV is an acronym that stands for D - Define M - Measure A - Analyze D - Design V - Verify / Validate www.benchmarksixsigma.com DMADV methodology is used in the following scenarios: 1.Developing a new process or a product 2.Radical re-engineering of an existing process or product. http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/ DMAIC is generally used for ‘Improving’ a process, and DMADV is used when a process needs to be designed. Projects are taken up to address some pain points or to improve opportunities. Do we know that every time we take up a project, whether a process has to be improved or designed? http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/ If no process exists, we will have to design a process; however, if there is an existing process, we may have to either improve it or redesign it. Sometimes the decision to improve or re-engineer is taken after Analyze phase of DMAIC sequence. http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/ When we are clear about our need to design a process, we may go straight away for DFSS (Design For Six Sigma). IDOV (Identify, Design, Optimize, Verify) is one of the popular approaches for DFSS. www.benchmarksixsigma.com Learn about DMAIC & DMADV in our Green Belt, Black Belt, and Master Black Belt programs https://bit.ly/3ChVxSB http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/ https://tinyurl.com/BSSinquire http://thegreatelibrary.blogspot.com/
