Structured Improvement Using the DMAIC Framework

DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) is a structured, data-driven problem-solving methodology used to eliminate defects, reduce variation, and improve process performance. It is widely applied across aerospace, manufacturing, and regulated environments to support continuous improvement and risk reduction.

Henning Aviation’s DMAIC Training – 2 Day Course provides a practical introduction to the DMAIC framework, focusing on how to apply each phase effectively to real operational problems. The course emphasises structured thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and sustainable improvement.

Course Outline:

Introduction to DMAIC and continuous improvement principles

Define – problem definition, scope, objectives, and stakeholders

Measure – data collection, baseline performance, and metrics

Analyse – identifying root causes and process weaknesses

Improve – developing, testing, and implementing solutions

Control – sustaining improvements and preventing recurrence

Using data and simple analytical tools to support DMAIC

Integrating DMAIC with RCA, 5S, SQDIP, and quality systems

Common pitfalls and best practices

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the purpose and structure of the DMAIC methodology
