How is the statistical concept of six sigma used? Consistently meets established quality, cost, delivery, financial and cost objectives Uses tools to help you identify which type of variation is present in your processes as well as how to address that variation to improve your process Partners between distribution channel members that changes the traditional replenishment process from distribution-generated purchase orders Meets adjustments to change or switchover the type of products produced on a manufacturing line
