In this research article, the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology was applied in conjunction with the Warehouse 4.0 concept to optimize the distribution process in a limited environment derived from the restructuring and continuous improvement in the management and logistics of a distribution center. For each stage of DMAIC, specific goals and concrete actions were established, starting from the mapping of the native process together with Python software, adding new functions that enabled the optimization of inventory and stock management processes. The methodology employed consisted of on-site observation based on the principle of risk detection and resource optimization. Based on the results obtained, the process was standardized, an increase in the sigma level, an improvement in user interaction, the standard search time was reduced, and a considerable reduction of errors was achieved when locating items and verifying stock levels
