	<p class="MsoNormal">The market&nbsp;is becoming more competitive nowadays. Companies like General Electric, Honeywell, Raytheon and IBM have managed to save billions of dollars in cost savings by process and quality improvement through Six Sigma.&nbsp;The majority&nbsp;of companies&nbsp;like&nbsp;to implement DMAIC methodology because they have existing processes. The remaining minority of Six Sigma practitioners&nbsp;is using&nbsp;a Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) approach to design a new product. DMAIC mainly focuses to improve the existing processes in such a way that final products can be produced with extremely low defects i.e. 3.4 defects in 1 million opportunities. Design for Six Sigma on the other hand, is about the design, development and commercialization of new products and processes for Six Sigma quality.
