THE ROLE OF LEAN SIX SIGMA AND DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATIONS IN ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY GOALS IN LOGISTICS: REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS AND MINIMIZING WASTE
Sustainability has emerged as a pivotal concern in logistics, propelled by the necessity to diminish carbon emissions, lessen waste, and enhance resource efficiency. This article explore the amalgamation of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) as a collaborative method for attaining sustainability objectives in logistics by utilizing the systematic literature review (SLR) methodology. LSS gives a systematic approach for recognising and eradicating waste, whereas DES provides a dynamic modelling instrument to simulate and enhance logistical processes. This study illustrates, through an examination of recent research and case studies, how the integration of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) may augment logistical sustainability by enhancing efficiency, minimising environmental impact, and facilitating decision-making. The results underscore the efficacy of this comprehensive methodology in tackling critical issues in sustainable logistics, including carbon footprint reduction, energy efficiency, and waste minimisation.

THE DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATIONS EFFECT ON COURIER LOGISTICS DIGITIALIZATIONS AND ITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO INDUSTRY 4.0 WITHIN THE RESILIANCE ECONOMY: A QUANTITATIVE STRATEGY
The swift digital transformation of courier logistics is transforming the sector, propelled by the imperatives of Industry 4.0 and the necessity for resilience in the changing global economy. This article examines the influence of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) on the digital transformation of courier logistics and its role in Industry 4.0 frameworks within the context of a resilient economy. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) functions as an effective instrument for modelling and optimising intricate logistical systems, allowing organisations to improve operational efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability. This research employs a quantitative case study methodology to analyse how DES applications tackle significant issues, including real-time decision-making, resource allocation, and supply chain disruptions. The findings highlight the crucial importance of DES in promoting digital innovation, enhancing system resilience, and facilitating the incorporation of Industry 4.0 technologies in courier logistics. This research underscores the revolutionary capacity of DES as a catalyst for attaining a robust, sustainable, and digitally optimised logistics sector.
