The speaker said that the application of six sigma
is essential for industrial control. When the industrial process is unusual
i.e., away from the expected standard (away from six sigma), then we need to
adjust. This same principle can be applied in all types of industrial
processes. The concept of six sigma deviation for statistical process control
in manufacturing companies is also part of the academic concept PDCA (PLAN, DO,
CHECK, ACT) cycle. Alternative it is also known as the DMAIC model. DMAIC is a strategy for Six Sigma, used to
increase the quality of outputs that business processes produce. The letters
DMAIC are short for: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.
