Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to present the systematic literature review (SLR) on Lean Six Sigma (LSS) by exploring the state of the art on growth of literature on LSS within the manufacturing sector, critical factors to implement LSS, the role of LSS in the manufacturing sector from an implementation and sustainability viewpoint and Industry 4.0 viewpoints while highlighting the research gaps.Design/methodology/approachAn SLR of 2,876 published articles extracted from Scopus, WoS, Emerald Insight, IEEE Xplore, Taylor & Francis, Springer and Inderscience databases was carried out following the protocol of systematic review. In total, 154 articles published in different journals over the past 10 years were selected for quantitative and qualitative analysis which revealed a number of research gaps.FindingsThe findings of the SLR revealed the growth of literature on LSS within the manufacturing sector. The review also highlighted the most cited critical success factors, critical failure factors, performance indicators and associated tools and techniques applied during LSS implementation. The review also focused on studies related to LSS and sustainability viewpoint and LSS and Industry 4.0 viewpoints.Practical implicationsThe findings of this SLR can help senior managers, practitioners and researchers to understand the current developments and future requirements to adopt LSS in manufacturing sectors from sustainability and Industry 4.0 viewpoints.Originality/valueAcademic publications in the context of the role of LSS in various research streams are sparse, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is one of the first SLRs which explore current developments and future requirements to implement LSS from sustainability and Industry 4.0 perspective.

精益六西格玛在制造环境中的作用:系统的文献回顾和未来研究的议程

目的本研究的目的是通过探索制造业精益六西格玛（LSS）文献的发展现状、实施LSS的关键因素，从实施和可持续性的角度以及工业4.0的角度，强调LSS在制造业中的作用，同时强调研究差距。设计/方法/方法根据系统审查协议，对Scopus、WoS、Emerald Insight、IEEE Xplore、Taylor&Francis、Springer和Inderscience数据库中的2876篇已发表文章进行SLR。在过去10年中，共有154篇发表在不同期刊上的文章被选中进行定量和定性分析，揭示了一些研究空白。调查结果SLR的调查结果揭示了制造业LSS文献的增长。审查还强调了被提及最多的关键成功因素、关键失败因素、绩效指标以及LSS实施过程中使用的相关工具和技术。该综述还侧重于与LSS和可持续性观点以及LSS和工业4.0观点相关的研究。实际意义本SLR的研究结果可以帮助高级管理人员、从业者和研究人员从可持续性和工业4.0的角度了解制造业采用LSS的当前发展和未来要求。原创性/价值关于LSS在各种研究流中的作用的学术出版物很少，据作者所知，本文是首批SLR之一，从可持续性和工业4.0的角度探讨了实施LSS的当前发展和未来要求。

期刊介绍： Commitment to quality is essential if companies are to succeed in a commercial environment which will be virtually unrecognizable in less than a decade. Changing attitudes, changing perspectives and changing priorities will revolutionise the structure and philosophy of future business practice - and TQM will be at the heart of that metamorphosis. All aspects of preparing for, developing, introducing, managing and evaluating TQM initiatives.
