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.	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.
