Hello Shivani,
Export Houses or Buying Houses have potential of applying Six Sigma in
following improvement projects
1. Reducing rejections in shipments.
2. Improving first sample approval percentages while working with
buyers.
3. Improving buyer satisfaction levels.
4. Increasing repeat business.
5. Improving supplier evaluation processes.
6. Improving AQL performance in shipments.
7. Improving merchandiser performance.
8. Reducing non conformances in audits by buyers.
9. Reducing Business Risks
10. Improving processes at the source (including fabric purchase and
inspection, stitching, embroidery, packing and shipping) to reduce
rejections at later stages.
I have worked as a consultant with Buying Houses and have delivered
similar benefits using Six Sigma tools (although they do not call it
Six Sigma, but the same concepts hold true in this industry).
Let me know if you have more questions.
