In the world of quality, what makes "DMAIC" different from or better than other problem-solving techniques?

It can be used for any quality problem or project. the better having definition for a broblem, the best solution can be made.

DMAIC is about define , measure,analyse,improve and control the process. It includes

v  Defining the problem

v  Measure the gap between current and desired performance

v  Analyze the potential causes of the problem

v  Improve by innovation

v  Create a control plan

v  Also think about replicating the changes in other processes.

This process can be made compatible to no6sigma projects

&there is an option to generalize the process and adapt it to make it useful to other processes only after changes. It can be used in practically all lean projects  and can be made adaptable to particular job circumstances.
