Σύνοψη	Optimization-assisted Six Sigma DMAIC embeds formal mathematical optimization — response surface methods, metaheuristics, or multi-objective solvers — into the Improve phase of the DMAIC cycle. Rather than relying solely on engineering judgment or one-factor-at-a-time trials, the approach uses designed experiments to build a predictive model of the process and then applies an optimization algorithm to locate factor settings that best satisfy quality, cost, or multiple competing performance targets simultaneously.	Response Surface Methodology is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques for building an empirical second-order polynomial model that relates a continuous response variable to two or more controllable input factors, and then locating the factor settings that optimize that response. The approach was introduced by George E. P. Box and K. B. Wilson in their landmark 1951 paper and has since become a cornerstone of process optimization across engineering, chemistry, food science, and pharmaceutics.
