Abstract

Manufacturing organizations have struggled with selecting right projects for sustainable LSS (SLSS) programs for operational excellence. This study is to propose a method for effective assessment of optimal SLSS projects. The importance weight of project selection criteria and prioritization of available projects are calculated using the novel best-worst-method (BWM) approach. The proposed methodology was authenticated through a real case example. The outcome reveals that out of five SLSS projects, P1 is the optimal project. Project P1 is the most significant production line for deploying the SLSS in case organization. The optimality in project ranking is tested through sensitivity analysis, the outcome noticed minimum sensitivity that claimed robust findings. This study is to be unique as there was very little evidence of prioritizing SLSS projects by utilizing a large set of criteria and applying the BWM approach. Further, BWM is the most suitable and reliable approach for prioritizing the alternatives when a large number of criteria are involved and it provides consistent outcomes with fewer inputs. The applied methodology will help top management to select the right project and opportunities in complex situations. Decision-makers and LSS consultants can also adopt the same approach for effective assessment of optimal SLSS projects for sustainable development.

利用最佳-最差方法在制造环境中进行可持续精益六西格玛项目选择

制造业组织一直在努力为可持续的LSS (SLSS)计划选择正确的项目，以实现卓越的运营。本研究旨在提出一种有效评估最佳SLSS项目的方法。采用新的最佳-最差法(best-worst method, BWM)计算项目选择标准的重要性权重和可选项目的优先级。通过实例验证了该方法的有效性。结果表明，在5个SLSS项目中，P1是最优项目。项目P1是在案例组织中部署SLSS的最重要的生产线。通过敏感性分析测试项目排名的最优性，结果注意到最小的敏感性，声称有稳健的发现。这项研究是独一无二的，因为很少有证据表明，通过使用大量的标准和应用BWM方法来确定SLSS项目的优先级。此外，当涉及大量标准时，BWM是确定备选方案优先级的最合适和最可靠的方法，并且它以较少的投入提供一致的结果。应用的方法将帮助高层管理人员在复杂的情况下选择正确的项目和机会。决策者和可持续发展支助系统顾问也可以采用同样的方法来有效评估可持续发展支助系统的最佳项目。
