This paper discusses the application and research of Six Sigma management theory in the service industry. Six Sigma, as a set of data-based quality management strategies that emphasise the reduction of defects and variation, was initially applied mainly in the manufacturing industry, but in recent years, with the rapid development of the service industry and the increasing diversification of consumer needs, the application of Six Sigma theory in the service industry has been gradually deepened. This article firstly outlines the core principles of Six Sigma management theory, including the five phases of Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control (DMAIC), and how it can improve service quality and customer satisfaction by reducing errors and variation in the service process. The article then analyses in detail specific application cases of Six Sigma theory in service industries, such as healthcare and finance, to demonstrate its effectiveness and feasibility in practice. This article analyses the application of Six Sigma in the service industry, combining specific cases and micro-analysis of its application in the service industry. In summary, Six Sigma management theory has a broad application prospect and potential in the service industry. Through in-depth research and practice, it can effectively improve service quality and customer satisfaction, and enhance the competitiveness and market position of enterprises.
