Резюме	Simulation-assisted process capability analysis combines Monte Carlo simulation with classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) to evaluate whether a process can consistently meet specification limits when direct measurement is costly, dangerous, or impractical. By propagating input distributions through a process model, the analyst obtains a simulated output distribution and derives capability metrics without waiting for physical production runs. The approach is especially valuable during product design, process scale-up, and tolerance stack-up studies.	Six Sigma DMAIC is a data-driven, five-phase process improvement methodology — Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control — used to reduce defects and process variation to fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Originating at Motorola in the 1980s and systematized by practitioners including Pyzdek and Keller, it is widely adopted in manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and service industries seeking sustained quality gains.
