New Features¶

DMAIC Framework¶

The dmaic package provides comprehensive Six Sigma metrics management:

Core Types: DMAICDocument, Category, Metric, ControlLimits, Thresholds
DMAIC Phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control
Trend Directions: higher_better, lower_better, target_value
Status Indicators: Green, Yellow, Red
Six Sigma Metrics: Cp, Cpk, Sigma level, DPMO
SPC Support: Upper/Lower Control Limits, Center Line

import "github.com/grokify/structured-goals/dmaic"

doc := dmaic.New("DMAIC-2025-001", "Quality Metrics", "Jane Smith")
doc.Categories = append(doc.Categories, dmaic.Category{
    Name: "Production Quality",
    Metrics: []dmaic.Metric{
        {
            Name:           "First Pass Yield",
            Baseline:       85.0,
            Current:        94.2,
            Target:         98.0,
            Unit:           "%",
            Phase:          dmaic.PhaseControl,
            TrendDirection: dmaic.TrendHigherBetter,
        },
    },
})

health := doc.CalculateOverallHealth()

Pandoc Renderer¶

Generate PDF-ready Markdown with professional formatting:

Sans-serif fonts (Helvetica)
2cm page margins
LuaLaTeX support
Table of contents
Numbered sections

genpandoc metrics.json -o report.md
pandoc report.md -o report.pdf --pdf-engine=lualatex

JSON Schema Generation¶

Generate JSON Schema from Go types:

genschema  # Generates all schemas

Schemas are embedded for programmatic access:

import "github.com/grokify/structured-goals/schema"

schemaJSON := schema.DMAICJSONString()

MkDocs Documentation¶
