DMAIC your life
Now what does this mean ? Well, DMAIC is a term that is commonly used in Six Sigma. It is a 5 step solution to every problem that you can ever come across. DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.
In a real life scenario, you encounter several problems. If only we have the time and energy to analyse it to the fullest extent possible, we would have lived a far more objective and comfortable life.
Take a step back - this is reality where you don’t even have time to think, forget about time for an in-depth analysis. So, inorder to expedite things and do a quick turnaround on your problems, adopt the time tested method of defining, measuring, analyzing your problems and subsequently improving and controlling it.
I do not want to get into the depth of Six Sigma but can certainly assist you where you can get some of the best resources available to study the subject. Visit iSixSigma
And don’t worry about its authenticity and practicality - some of the best companies in the world deploy Six Sigma, Prominent among them being Motorola, GE, Bank of America etc.
Although, I am not a big fan of Six Sigma as I strongly believe nothing is better than human intuition to solve problems but then my choice shouldn’t be the basis for your selection. Tools like this should be used to aid the process of problem solving. Just take care that the tools don’t become the problem itself.
Again, I am not preaching Six Sigma here, lets be clear. All I am saying is that DMAIC is an excellent and quick problem solving methodology that can give you result in no time, thereby saving you quite a lot of time
Brood over it for some time and start practising what is best for you…
