    The Lexus Power Plant manufactures large turbines and transformers for power stations in India and abroad. Its main objective is to establish quality standards that minimize production expenses by lowering defect rates. The case study compares the Six Sigma approach and DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) approach. Six Sigma's advantages are its systematic problem-solving process and ability to improve quality and profitability. However, it requires extensive knowledge and resources. DMAIC has a clear structure, reduces waste, eliminates quality lapses, and improves existing processes. But it does not enable new processes. My decision is that DMAIC would best help Lexus achieve its goal, as its five steps would guide reducing defect numbers
