DMAIC methodology is critical to this course since it focuses on a systematic method of getting to the “real root cause” and implementing “effective corrective actions that will actually minimize the chance of recurrence”.
The key question asked in this training is, “If you do this action, will the problem go away. If not, you do not have the right root cause or corrective action.”
