สรุป	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.	Bayesian design of experiments selects experimental runs by maximising a utility function — typically the expected information gain — computed over prior beliefs about model parameters. Unlike classical design, which optimizes algebraic criteria such as D-optimality under fixed assumptions, Bayesian DOE incorporates prior knowledge and uncertainty about the system, yielding designs that are optimal in expectation across all plausible parameter values.
