Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper is an attempt to review and present how the DMAIC methodology has been studied and researched by various researchers. Globalization, advanced technology, and increased sophisticated customer demands change the way of conducting business. Old business models no longer work in new economy.

Six sigma take the users away from ‘intuition-based’ decisions to ‘fact-based’ decisions. The objective of this paper is to present an overview of six sigma. The DMAIC Methodology (Define, Measure, Analyses, Innovation, Improve and Control) the problem solving steps used for six sigma projects are also reviewed in detail in this paper.
