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.	Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a data-driven quality method that uses statistical techniques — primarily control charts — to monitor a manufacturing or service process over time. By distinguishing natural process variation (common cause) from unusual, actionable variation (special cause), SPC enables practitioners to maintain processes in a stable, predictable state and to detect problems early, before defective output reaches customers.
