Abstract
Abstract Practical and theoretical evidence suggests that Sustainable Lean Six Sigma contributes to an organization’s performance as it highlights environmental aspects. However, the theoretical contribution of Sustainable Lean Six Sigma has not been discussed enough in the literature, and many companies do not know where to begin integrating Sustainability and Lean Six Sigma in operation management. This paper aims to identify and discuss recent developments in Sustainable Lean Six Sigma frameworks through a systematic literature review, considering the benefits, outcomes, tools and practices, sustainability key performance indicators and critical success factors. The results show that Lean Six Sigma tools have been adapted to incorporate the measurement of environmental waste. However, sustainability key performance indicators must improve and there are few empirical studies on critical success factors for Sustainable Lean Six Sigma. This study also identified gaps in Sustainable Lean Six Sigma frameworks and gives directions for future research.
期刊介绍:
Production Planning & Control is an international journal that focuses on research papers concerning operations management across industries. It emphasizes research originating from industrial needs that can provide guidance to managers and future researchers. Papers accepted by "Production Planning & Control" should address emerging industrial needs, clearly outlining the nature of the industrial problem. Any suitable research methods may be employed, and each paper should justify the method used. Case studies illustrating international significance are encouraged. Authors are encouraged to relate their work to existing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding its implications for management practice and future research agendas.
