Abstract

This article focuses on the impact of individual factors of Lean Six Sigma in manufacturing-based small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India. So that main emphasis can be given to majorly contributing factors during implementation of Lean Six Sigma in manufacturing SMEs. A questionnaire-based survey has been done in which the voice of Indian SMEs has been captured regarding the successful implementation of Lean Six Sigma in their organisation as a waste management technique. Study has been conducted in two phases. In first phase, survey based upon 28 questions has been conducted, afterwards in second phase process capability test has been done on considered responses. In first phase with factor analysis it has been concluded that 28 factors listed in the questionnaire (Annexure 1) can be further reduced to four major parameters in which similar kind of factors are grouped together. These major four parameters contributing towards the success of Lean Six Sigma in manufacturing SMEs. Second phase of this study process capability of various phases of Lean Six Sigma has been checked through CPk. Those phases having CPk value less than 0.5 can be neglected as those phases are not contributing significantly towards the successful implementation of LSS.

印度中小企业精益六西格玛成功关键因素实证分析

本文主要研究精益六西格玛在印度制造业中小企业中的个体因素影响。因此，在制造业中小企业实施精益六西格玛的过程中，重点关注主要影响因素。一项基于问卷的调查已经完成，其中印度中小企业的声音已经被捕获关于精益六西格玛在他们的组织作为废物管理技术的成功实施。研究分两个阶段进行。第1阶段以28个问题为基础进行调查，第2阶段对考虑过的回答进行过程能力测试。在因子分析的第一阶段，我们得出结论，问卷中列出的28个因素(附件1)可以进一步减少为4个主要参数，其中相似类型的因素组合在一起。这四个主要参数有助于精益六西格玛在制造业中小企业的成功。本研究的第二阶段通过CPk对精益六西格玛各阶段的过程能力进行了检验。CPk值小于0.5的阶段可以忽略，因为这些阶段对成功实施LSS没有显著贡献。

期刊介绍： Today, Six Sigma is recognised in many world class organisations as an effective means of achieving and maintaining operational excellence and competitive advantage. Six Sigma has proved to be successful in many manufacturing and service organisations to drive out variability from processes, improve process effectiveness and product/service quality, reduce defect rate, enhance customer satisfaction, etc. IJSSCA publishes papers that address Six Sigma issues from the perspectives of customers, industrial engineers, business managers, management consultants, industrial statisticians and Six Sigma practitioners.
