Summarize how and where a DMAIC and/or DMADV project has been applied, or could be applied, in your organization. Or summarize how you would apply (or have applied) DMAIC and/or DMADV projects in your chosen course project.

OE outline is one doc and the answers to above is separate doc. A paragraph for the answers are fine.

Your outline should:

1. Name and describe the organization or company, and its associated industry (if confidential,
describe the organization such as "a medical device manufacturer").

2. List the key operations and processes in your organization that you plan to describe, document,
and analyze in detail (just the list - no process maps)
