Σύνοψη	Bayesian Six Sigma DMAIC integrates Bayesian statistical inference into the classical Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control quality-improvement framework. Rather than relying solely on frequentist hypothesis tests and point estimates, it incorporates prior knowledge — from expert judgment, historical production data, or pilot studies — and updates beliefs about process parameters as new data arrive. The result is a more adaptive, uncertainty-aware approach to reducing defects and improving process capability, particularly valuable when sample sizes are small or prior domain knowledge is rich.	Bayesian Process Capability Analysis integrates Bayesian inference with classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) to estimate how well a production process meets specification limits. Rather than relying solely on observed sample data, it incorporates prior knowledge about process parameters — yielding more stable and credible estimates of process capability, especially under small sample sizes common in manufacturing and quality engineering.
