1-Six Sigma is a method of quality control of processes that helps avoid errors in the production and distribution therefore make them more efficient in the supply chain. Six Sigma helps eliminate processes that are unnecessary which results in reduced waste and production and distribution costs. Six Sigma has three different approaches: Increase customer satisfaction, reduce cycle times, and reduce failures (Shokri, 2017).
Just in time in supply chain is focused on reducing delay time and costs. In addition to perfecting material ordering times with the goal of having only the necessary materials in inventory at the time they are needed. This helps reduce inventory costs and have a good understanding of supply chain needs. JIT’s main goal is to offer the customer what they need at the time they need it at the lowest possible cost making it an effective tool for supply chain managers (Vokurka, & Lummus, 2000).
Pareto is a rule composed by 80/20 that mean states that “80% of the outputs come from 20% of the inputs”. For the supply chain, this rule can be applied to different aspects of the business such as 80% of a company’s total shipments going to 20% of its shipping locations. We can also apply them to the fact that 80% of the profits come from 20% of their products or that 80% of the shipments they will make come from 20% of the consumers. This is not an accurate prediction of what is happening in companies but it is very close to the reality they experience in their results (Mohamed Syazwan, Abu Bakar, & Ai, 2015).
Total quality management (TQM) is the method used to detect errors in processes, reduce or eliminate them. In this way, it helps to streamline the management of the supply chain. It also helps to improve the experience of consumers and strengthens the training of workers so that they are in constant training (Vanichchinchai, 2014).

2-Quality control approaches such as Lean and Six Sigma improve the efficiency and quality of global supply networks’ production and delivery. For example, lean Six Sigma reduces inefficient processes and errors, resulting in lower costs and less resource waste for businesses (Gershon & Rajashekharaiah, 2011).
By optimizing the timeliness of ordering supplies, the just-in-time supply chain attempts to decrease timing delays and costs (García-Alcaraz et al., 2019). The objective is to have no more — and no fewer — supplies on hand than you require at the time. This simplifies procedures, lowers storage costs, and requires a company to understand its supply chain thoroughly.
Any unexpected increases in customer demand are mitigated by safety stock in supply chain systems other than JIT (García-Alcaraz et al., 2019). Safety stocks also protect against manufacturing failures, quality difficulties, and other unanticipated issues of this nature. In JIT, on the other hand, the company tries to synchronize its activities to the point where additional safety supplies aren’t required.
The Pareto Principle teaches you that most outcomes arise from a small number of inputs (Baek, Singh & Winer, 2017). If you’re aware of this
Concentrate on compensating the 20% of employees who provide 80% of the results.
20% of defects are responsible for 80% of crashes: Prioritize resolving these issues.
20% of consumers are responsible for 80% of revenue: Concentrate on ensuring that these consumers are satisfied.
The list goes on and on. The key is to recognize that you may frequently focus your efforts on the 20% that makes a significant impact rather than the 80% that doesn’t.
There is a declining marginal benefit in economic terms. This is due to the rule of diminishing returns, which states that each additional hour of labor, each new person, adds less “oomph” to the final output. So by the end, you’ve spent a significant amount of time on tiny things.
The goal is to put in the work required to obtain the greatest bang for your buck, generally in the first 20% (or 10%, or 30%, depending on the specific amount) (Baek, Singh & Winer, 2017). It may be preferable to acquire five quick prototypes rather than one finished product during the planning stage.
Total quality management (TQM) is the process of identifying and minimizing or eliminating production mistakes, simplifying supply chain management, enhancing customer experience, and ensuring that personnel is adequately trained (Everard & Hardjono, 2019).
Enterprise process management, often known as business process management, is a strategy for systematically organizing and implementing all of an organization’s processes (Samuel & Mishra, 2017). This connects them with the aims of the business and maximizes integration across various roles and functions.

3-The design, deployment, and maintenance of organizational structures required for diverse business processes are all part of total quality management. It focuses on a long-term plan aimed at maintaining and improving existing quality standards. It may also be characterized as a cultural endeavor in which an organization develops a culture of collaboration between different functional areas to improve overall quality. Six Sigma enables businesses to minimize operating costs by eliminating errors, improving cycle times, and reducing costs. It differs from typical cost-cutting methods in terms of price and efficiency. The goal is to find and eliminate costs that do not benefit customers, such as wasted costs. JIT is a strategy for increasing efficiency and minimizing waste by acquiring items only as they are required in the manufacturing process, hence lowering inventory costs. In other terms, it also refers to an inventory management strategy with the goal of having enough inventory on hand to meet demand, but not so much that you must stockpile extra products. A just-in-time information retrieval agent (JITIR agent) is software that proactively retrieves and delivers information in a readily accessible, yet nonintrusive manner based on a person’s local environment. The Remembrance Agent, Margin Notes, and Jimminy are the three JITIR agents described in this work. The Pareto Principle (also known as the 80-20 rule) argues that around 80% of the consequences are caused by 20% of the causes for numerous phenomena. The Pareto Principle and its importance in real-world situations are discussed in this article, as well as certain mathematical models related to it and the concepts of the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. Dunford, Su, and Tamang. (2014). Due to severe conflicts between business process mapping and the Enterprise System method, any firm that employs business process mapping should avoid considering any usage of an Enterprise System and any of the components of an Enterprise System.
