Arguably, the most important aspects of quality management for PAT are the concepts of quantitative process performance characterization using process capability indices as universal descriptors, which form the basis of the measure and analyze portions of the DMAIC model. Process capability indices consider simultaneously both process variability and process specifications to determine whether...

As described in detail by Rath and Strong (2000), an iterative five-step procedure is followed to progressively improve product quality. The five steps are (a) Define, (b) Measure, (c) Analyze, (d) Improve, and (e) Control, referred to by the acronym, DMAIC ... 

The DMAIC procedure is combined with ideas specific to product design to create a methodology that assists in applying the six-sigma approach to product design. Again, a five-step procedure is recommended... 

Step 2. Identify requirements. As in DMAIC, the requirements of the product are defined in terms of the needs of customers. 

The Six Sigma approach is composed by five steps, i.e. the DMAIC algorithm (Fig. 1) Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. 

A first factor to obtain good results using the DMAIC algorithm is the stratification of data. Stratification of data means that each data is collected recording also many connected information. 

Many readers will know that Six Sigma practitioners utilize a similar process. Its acronym is DMAIC, which stands for Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control. This cycle is similar to PDCA either approach is valid. 

Six sigma Six sigma is one of the more recent popular approaches to QA that is based on a tight statistical approach to the production of a product. The name arises from a desire to limit the tolerance of a product to plus or minus six standard deviations and thus have only 3.4 defects per million. (This is the fraction outside - - 4.5 standard deviations from the mean the method allows for some measurement uncertainty.) In order for the statistics to hold, the system must be in statistical control and the defects must be random and normally distributed. There is a heavy reliance on control charts and the system is built around what to do if there is evidence for nonconformity. For a nonconforming product six sigma institutes an approach with the acronym DMAIC — define, measure, analyze, improve, control. This has been implemented in some organizations, such as pharmaceutical companies, which produce large volumes of chemicals. However, strict statistical control of chemical products is not always easy, and considerations of the measurement process also needs to be taken into account. 

Part of the Six Sigma process is searching for potential error and variation within the DMAIC process itself. For example, the project relied on bedside glucometers to create outcomes data. Froedtert participants tested the reliability and reproducibility of the glucometer results to understand variations within and between pieces of equipment.

Solid-state NMR using MAS NMR has been utilised to determine the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) framework and associated statistical tools have been applied to both identify and reduce variability observed in a quantitative solid-state NMR analytical method in pharmacy. 

Some of the Six Sigma models are DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), which is used to improve the existing process, and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify), which is used to employ the new products. 

Step 2. Identify Requirements As in DMAIC, the requirements of the product are defined in terms of the needs of customers. For the case of the design of a process, such as a heat-exchanger network, appropriate specifications would quantify the desired dynamic performance of the unit, minimizing the occurrence of violations of the UCLs and LCLs defined for each of the target temperatures. 

Discuss and compare plan-do-check-act (PDCA) and define, measixre, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC). 

If your organization uses the Six Sigma approach to quality management, the use of a variation of the PDCA known as DMAIC can be used. DMAIC is a more advanced approach than the traditional PDCA. 

As issues with the current safety culture and the safety management system are identified, the PDCA/DMAIC concepts provide a framework for administration of the safety management system elements. Refer to Figure 6.2 for an Overview of the DMAIC and the PDCA Processes Relationship . 

The following sections will provide a brief summary of the 15 DMAIC steps in conducting a Six Sigma type review of the safety management system. 

Why is the safety management system similar to the quality management process Compare and contrast the PDCA and the DMAIC system.

DMAIC has added the rigour of project life cycle to the implementation and closeout of Six Sigma projects. Figure 16.6 shows the relationship between DMAIC with a typical project life cycle.

DMAIC It is the cycle of define, measure, analyse, improve and control, see Basn (2004), pp 168-174 for detailed discussion.
