خلاصه	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.	Simulation-assisted statistical process control (SA-SPC) combines computer simulation — typically Monte Carlo or discrete-event simulation — with classical SPC methods to design, test, and calibrate control charts and monitoring schemes before or alongside deployment on a real production process. Rather than relying solely on closed-form analytical assumptions, SA-SPC uses simulated data to evaluate chart performance under realistic, often non-normal process conditions.
