Six Sigma is a quality management methodology used in logistics and supply chain operations to improve processes, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency. It focuses on identifying and eliminating defects, standardizing procedures, and using data-driven decision-making to optimize performance. In logistics, Six Sigma can be applied to warehouse operations, inventory management, transportation, and order fulfillment to reduce delays, minimize waste, and ensure consistent service levels. The methodology often uses statistical tools and key performance indicators to measure process improvements.
