Question

The DMAIC process is used for improving existing processes that are below specification and require incremental improvement. It involves defining the problem, measuring the current performance, analyzing the root cause of the problem, improving the process, and controlling the process to maintain the improvements. It is not specifically designed for developing new processes or achieving 100% defect-free or variability-free results.
