Σύνοψη	Simulation-assisted Six Sigma DMAIC embeds discrete-event or Monte Carlo simulation models inside the classic DMAIC cycle (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to test process changes virtually before committing to physical implementation. By running thousands of simulated scenarios, teams quantify variation, identify bottlenecks, and verify improvement hypotheses at low cost and with minimal disruption to live operations.	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.
