Rezumat	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.	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.
