Identify 3 potential Six Sigma projects relate dto a logistics company

Business Case: Customers are not receiving orders in a timely fashion, waiting several week(s) to receive their orders due to poor efficiency and testing times of blades. TCQ is extremely high due to (hidden factory) as a result of shipping defective blades, RMA's, accounting, and shipping charges. Responding and solving customer complaint time is too long. There is currently no sales training program or inside sales department to generate cost affective sales, responses, and service inbound customer calls. Communication between department(s), staff(s) and customer(s) is poor. All issues are resulting in decreased customer satisfaction, loss of revenues and re-orders, which is significant.
Opportunities:
- Increase company efficiency, communication and transparency, with ERP system;
- Increase customer satisfaction;
- Increase revenues and re-order(s);
- Decrease TCQ, RMA's, accounting and customer complaints;
- Create sales training program and an inside sales department;
- Improve warehouse testing time and efficiency

Voice of Customer:
- Meeting customer(s) needs and expectations, shipping order(s) within 3 business days is critical, customer receiving non-defective blades is critical, and addressing customer questions and concerns within 2 business days is important; all are not being met.

Potential Projects:

Project #1
