Integrating advanced analytics across the Six Sigma DMAIC ( Define , Measure , Analyze , Improve and Control ) framework to fuel continuous improvement

These findings are from a recent survey LNS Research and MESA International completed to see where big data is delivering the greatest manufacturing performance improvements today .
