This study aims to determine the level of digital literacy and the application of e-commerce for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Semarang City. The approach to assessing literacy levels is based on nine elements of digital literacy developed by Steve Wheeler (2012), namely social networking, transliteracy, maintaining privacy, managing identity, creating content, organizing and sharing content. , reusing / repurposing content, filtering and selecting content, and self broadcasting. The data was collected using a survey method by conducting interviews and distributing questionnaires to MSME actors in the city of Semarang. The results of data collection obtained 29 valid respondents. The results of the analysis show that the average aggregate score of the digital literacy level of Micro and Small entrepreneurs (MSEs) is 79.81%. These results cannot provide a judgment about the high or low score, but seeing the phenomenon of understanding this technology, the average score is enough for micro businesses to start adopting and adapting online businesses. The most prominent ability of respondents regarding the 9 components of digital literacy is in understanding and using social media. This is more due to the simplicity of operating social media applications. Meanwhile, those related to content development and managing digital identity are still relatively lacking. This is because content development is not only related to operational mastery of technology but also personal imagination and creativity are very important parts. Of the 29 micro businesses that were selected as respondents, all of them have used social media as part of their business management, while the use of the world wide web still needs improvement, as evidenced by only 4 out of 29 respondents who already have a world wide web (website).
Quality control becomes an important key for companies in suppressing the number of defective produced products.

Stages of Six Sigma method starts from the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) stages that help the company in improving quality and continuous improvement. Based on the results of research on baby clothes products, data in March 2018 the percentage of defective products produced reached 1.4% exceeding 1% tolerance limit, with a Sigma value of 4.14 meaning a possible defect product of 4033.39 opportunities per million products. In the pareto diagram there were 5 types of CTQ (Critical to Quality) such as oblique obras, blobor screen printing, there is a fabric / head cloth code on the final product, hollow fabric / thin fabric fiber, and dirty cloth. The factors caused quality problems such as Manpower, Materials, Environtment, and Machine. Suggestion for consideration of company improvement was continuous improvement on every existing quality problem like in Manpower factor namely improving comprehension, awareness of employees in producing quality product and improve employee's accuracy, Strength Quality Control and give break time. Materials by making the method of cutting the fabric head, the Machine by scheduling machine maintenance and the provision of needle containers at each employees desk sewing and better environtment by installing exhaust fan and renovating the production room.
