Everyone kind of missed their home-cooked food. So, here comes in picture of the hardest working and dedicated, Mahadeo Havaji. He started delivering lunch boxes and hired about 100 people for this and his business soon started growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-38.png\" alt=\"mahadeo havaji\" class=\"wp-image-790\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover;width:406px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-38.png 500w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-38-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 50% of dabbawallas at that time were uneducated or 2nd-grade drop out of school. A charitable trust named \u201cNutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Trust\u201d was established in the year 1956. It was also registered as a commercial organisation in the year 1968 as the Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association. It was headed by Raghunath Medge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-background-of-dabbawalas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background_Of_Dabbawalas\"><\/span>Background Of Dabbawalas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tiffin providers were responsible for carrying lunch boxes from the homes of employees to their workplaces. This service has been in operation for over a century, and it involves thousands of lunchbox deliveries every day. You must have come across the word Six Sigma while reading about dabbawalla stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"944\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-37.png\" alt=\"history of mumbai dabbawlas\" class=\"wp-image-789\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:512px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-37.png 944w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-37-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-37-768x491.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now what six sigma is?&nbsp; Let\u2019s understand Six Sigma in detail. Six Sigma is a quality control method that was launched in the year 1984 by Motorola engineer Bill Smith. The main objective of this method is to reduce the number of faults in a company\u2019s product with only 3.4 defects per million opportunities so that the income and profit margins of the company can be increased along with the satisfaction of the consumer. To summarize, work faster with fewer mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two methods for Six Sigma, one is for existing businesses and the other one is for new products or services that a company wants to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>FOR EXISTING BUSINESSES<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/wcsVS4VGrwxIqlpHYbsMM7TsX082_yafUgfj9SJxkNLktesSZ5sucVbCd8szHROwAk4eHdVeqV34lGfHiqQFD8fec0W_TBSXPljGBOVGGH4W-o7Qg2b2zaG3XclXelZZpfKYLCmrjEL4vbgrr4FCNOU\" alt=\"FOR EXISTING BUSINESSES\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.

You must be shocked that, is this even possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Dabbawallas picks up the tiffin from the residence of the respective customer and brings it to Andheri station. All the dabbas are then transported via train to their final destinations. Dabbas are then unloaded sorted and finally delivered to the customers. Empty Dabbas are then recollected at the later part of the day and are again transported to their substations at which they were initially unloaded. Then they are again transported to their original destination from where they were picked up and are finally returned to the customer by the evening. This complete process is repeated every day and the fun fact is that a specific time and spot is pre-decided for all the pickup, loading, unloading, and drop tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our reader&#8217;s convenience and a better idea of the whole process let&#8217;s explain this with the help of a flow chart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Untitled.png\" alt=\"the whole business process model\" class=\"wp-image-834\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover;width:698px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Untitled-1024x612.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Untitled-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Untitled-768x459.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Untitled.png 1088w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By now you must have got an idea about the daily working of the dabbawalla business. Their main motive is to improve the process and methods to minimise the error.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dabbawalla adopted colour coding for their lunch-box i.e., there are different colours imprinted on the boxes. Yellow colour for the street code of the residential station, orange colour for the substations at which the boxes are dropped, and red colour is for the destination code including floor numbers and building numbers and this is how Six Sigma was implemented in Dabbawalla business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rewards-and-recognitions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"REWARDS_AND_RECOGNITIONS\"><\/span>REWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mumbai Dabbawallas have received numerous rewards, and recognition for their exceptional service and efficient lunchbox delivery system.
