Information technology is the term which is provides many techniques and software for the supply chain management to making it more effective and efficient for the growth of the supply chain management.

Six Sigma Theory of Supply Chain Management

Six sigma is considered as one of the prominent approach to supply chain management as this will enable the organisation to find out different causes of defects and mitigating the same within stipulated time (Stadtler, 2018). This is the approach which is used in order to improve quality of the business offerings and minimising variability within the offerings as well. In the context of IT infrastructure this is analysed that there are significant reasons that the organisation should adopt six sigma in their business so that they can acquire success at marketplace. There are 5 major frameworks which are added within six sigma and these are explained as under:

1. Define stage: Under define stage work is defined by the team so that project aim can be pre-defined and at the same time efforts can be made by the team in order to meet those objectives.

2. Measure Stage: Six sigma is fact based analytical approach in which underline cause is being seen into the process on which improvements are needed. This stage helps in establishing base line capacity so that factual understanding related with the problem can be made.

3. Analyse Stage: In the measure phase baseline performance in the process is identified and under analyse stage root causes are identified so that on such basis solutions can be given. On this basis alternative solutions can be given to the problem.

4. Improve Stage: The major purpose of this stage is to provide solution to the issue so that tools and strategies can be implemented in order to meet desired solutions. Under this stage an appropriate solution is rendered to the problem so that solution matric can be provided.

5. Control Stage: During control stage final solution is given so that to fix the problem. Under this stage tools and strategies are implemented so that new processes can be provided to the business functions.

Resource Based View

As per this theory supply chain management is designed in such a manner that all the available resources can be used to its optimal manner. This theory would be helpful in attaining the entire business objectives within available resources (Agrawal and Narain, 2018). In the context of IT industry this can be said that the industry is dependent over their people and resources so that with the help of utilising all such aspects in fuller manner the organisation may earn higher amount of success.
