Q68. I have come across a few alternative names for DMAIC. One is G-E-T-S that was used by GE Transportation Systems and they used it as Gather- Evaluate- Transform- Sustain. What are some alternative names for DMAIC that you have come across?

I have come across one acronym GAME, which is closest to the DMAIC... 

Wherein:

G=Gather Facts

A= Analyse

M=Make a SMART Plan

E=Execute. 

Here, GAM covers the DMA and E (Execute) covers the I (Implement) 

The C (Control) is missing though.
