According to onesixsigma.com, "Six Sigma is a business management strategy that seeks to identify and remove the causes of defects and errors in manufacturing and business processes."According to www.isixsigma.com, Six Sigma has two key processes that are represented by the acronyms DMAIC and DMADV. DMAIC is used to improve existing processes, while DMADV is used to create new products or processes.
Define, Measure and Analyze
With each methodology, a team is formed within the organization. The team is tasked with using the tools within Six Sigma to either audit their current process or study the prospects of a potential new product. With each methodology, the first three steps are Define, Measure and Analyze. In DMAIC, define may mean identifying specific problems in the process whereas in DMADV Define seeks to determine whether or not the proposed product will help meet the organization's business goals. The Measure phase looks at the current process and measures it against desired outcomes. In the Analyze phase of DMAIC, the team will look at cause-and-effect relationships in the process. In DMADV, as the organization is creating a new process, the team will look at the process that best meets customer needs.

After all of the analysis and measurement, isixsigma.com says that the team will either begin Improvement to their current process or Design of a new process. Once these processes are developed, they will be refined and then put into the production process under the care of the specific process owner. The organization will fully integrate, document and monitor the new process and adapt for long-term continuous improvement.
