Tiivistelmä	Bayesian Six Sigma DMAIC integrates Bayesian statistical inference into the classical Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control quality-improvement framework. Rather than relying solely on frequentist hypothesis tests and point estimates, it incorporates prior knowledge — from expert judgment, historical production data, or pilot studies — and updates beliefs about process parameters as new data arrive. The result is a more adaptive, uncertainty-aware approach to reducing defects and improving process capability, particularly valuable when sample sizes are small or prior domain knowledge is rich.	Bayesian Statistical Process Control (Bayesian SPC) extends classical SPC by replacing fixed, frequentist control limits with a probabilistic framework that incorporates prior knowledge about the process. Rather than waiting for a run of points to exceed a pre-set 3-sigma boundary, Bayesian SPC continuously updates the probability that the process has shifted given the incoming data, enabling earlier and more informed detection of out-of-control states while formally accounting for uncertainty in process parameters.
