Σύνοψη	Hybrid Six Sigma DMAIC combines the rigorous five-phase DMAIC cycle (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) with complementary methodologies — most commonly Lean principles, Agile practices, or Design Thinking — to address quality defects and process inefficiencies simultaneously. By integrating speed-focused tools from Lean with the statistical discipline of Six Sigma, hybrid approaches close the gap that pure Six Sigma frameworks sometimes leave when waste elimination and cycle-time reduction are equally critical goals.	Design of Experiments (DOE) is a systematic framework for planning, conducting, and analyzing controlled experiments to determine how multiple input factors simultaneously affect one or more responses. Introduced by Ronald A. Fisher in 1935, DOE allows researchers and engineers to identify causal relationships, quantify factor effects, and find optimal settings efficiently — using far fewer runs than one-factor-at-a-time approaches. It is foundational in engineering, manufacturing, agriculture, and applied sciences.
