Tiivistelmä	Robust Six Sigma DMAIC embeds Taguchi's robust design philosophy within the classic Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control framework. Rather than optimizing a process only for average performance, this hybrid approach simultaneously minimizes process variation caused by noise factors — environmental shifts, material lot differences, operator variability — so that the outcome remains near target even when uncontrollable conditions change. The result is a process that is both capable and insensitive to real-world disturbances.	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.
