DMADV – Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify

 
A business management approach and a fundamental component of the Six Sigma business philosophy. DMADV is a five-step method for ensuring that products or processes adhere to Six Sigma quality levels (i.e., no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities), generally by improving methodologies:
1) Define (objectives and deliverables, both internal and external);
2) Measure (customer needs and expectations);
3) Analyze (options available to fulfill customer expectations);
4) Design (the process to fulfill customer expectations); and
5) Verify (design performance and ability to fulfill customer expectations).
