Sammendrag	Optimization-assisted Six Sigma DMAIC embeds formal mathematical optimization — response surface methods, metaheuristics, or multi-objective solvers — into the Improve phase of the DMAIC cycle. Rather than relying solely on engineering judgment or one-factor-at-a-time trials, the approach uses designed experiments to build a predictive model of the process and then applies an optimization algorithm to locate factor settings that best satisfy quality, cost, or multiple competing performance targets simultaneously.	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.
