Six Sigma and Dabbawalahs : The story of the Dabbawalahs of Mumbai  is an interesting case studies related the the quality management programs.  It has been more than 100 years  the dabbawallahs  have been delivering home-cooked meals to workers in Mumbai, India.

About 5,000 dabbawallahs pick up about 200,000 hot meals from homes outside the city and deliver them to workers in Mumbai and then return the empty boxes to the workers’ homes.  Dabbawallahs who have little formal education make only one mistake for every 6 million lunches delivered.  This result is even better than Six Sigma.
