Abstract

The literature in the field of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is developing in Türkiye as well as over the world. However, theses and papers written in Turkish are waiting to be disseminated. This paper aims to investigate LSS in the Turkish context with the purpose of identifying the current state, gaining insight and exploring future directions. This paper implements the systematic literature review methodology to identify and review all relevant studies in Turkish literature. This paper covers the literature on LSS in Türkiye from 2004 to 2021. As a result, a total of 32 theses and 29 papers were investigated in detail. This paper not only focuses on years, sectors, areas etc. of the studies, but also analyses the contents of papers in relation to enterprise size, project prioritization, and quality tools used in DMAIC phases, and improvements after implementation in terms of descriptive and content analysis. The results show that, although there are many LSS implementations in Turkish context, they could not be shared with global academic area due to the national language usage. LSS implementations have an increasing trend in last years and highly focused on manufacturing sector and large companies. The lack of structured way of applying LSS, especially not using project prioritization and selection methodology takes attention. This paper shows the gaps and future directions in Türkiye for researchers and provides a groundwork to develop a roadmap for Turkish organizations.

土耳其的精益六西格玛研究：文献综述

精益六西格玛（LSS）领域的文献在土耳其和全世界都在发展。然而，用土耳其语撰写的论文和论著还有待于传播。本文旨在研究土耳其背景下的精益六西格玛，目的是确定现状、获得洞察力并探索未来方向。本文采用系统的文献综述方法，对土耳其文献中的所有相关研究进行识别和综述。本文涵盖了 2004 年至 2021 年土耳其有关 LSS 的文献。因此，共对 32 篇论文和 29 篇论文进行了详细调查。本文不仅关注了研究的年份、部门、领域等，还从描述性分析和内容分析的角度，分析了论文中与企业规模、项目优先级、DMAIC 阶段使用的质量工具以及实施后的改进等相关的内容。研究结果表明，尽管土耳其有许多 LSS 实施案例，但由于本国语言的使用，这些案例无法与全球学术领域共享。近年来，LSS 的实施呈上升趋势，并高度集中于制造业和大型企业。缺乏应用 LSS 的结构化方法，尤其是没有使用项目优先级和选择方法，这一点值得关注。本文为研究人员展示了土耳其在这方面的差距和未来发展方向，并为土耳其企业制定路线图奠定了基础。
