DMAIC vs. DMADV vs. DFSS

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 by Carly Barry

When I first started learning about Lean Six Sigma and familiarizing myself with all the different terminology and methodologies, I was a little overwhelmed and confused by all the acronyms. FMEA, C&E Matrix, Gage R&R, SIPOC, DMAIC…the list goes on and on!

However, I really got tripped up by the similar-sounding acronyms of DMAIC, DMADV, and DFSS. These acronyms stand for the most common Lean Six Sigma project methodologies, which help quality improvement practitioners keep their projects focused with an established route to follow for completion. Each methodology is made up of five phases and the name of each phase makes up each letter in the acronym.
