Tiivistelmä	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.	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.
