D-MAGICS - Problem solving methodology can be as Defining MAGICS, i.e.

   M - Measure
   A - Analyse
   G - Grasp
   I - Improvise
   C - Control
   S - Sustain

I have added G & S to original six-sigma D-MAIC, because ...

   G - It is very dificult to accept the present situation (typically unfavorable), even though it is based on the facts. We always say "How it is possible, I have taken so much care not to create this situation. Something is wrong with the data." Hence before moving to improvise phase, let the team accept / grasp the situation.
   S - For establishing link with ISO -9001 : 2000 continual improvement philosophy.
