“…Some exceptions include the work of Parveen and Rao (2009) who provide a framework for using an integrated approach to the analysis of lean supply chains. However, firms have already utilised suppliers' strengths to support their product and process development efforts (Oberoi et al, 2008). Tracey and Tan (2001) show that the involvement of suppliers in the supply chain by participation in product design teams and continuous improvement programs enriches the firm's delivery service and overall performance.…”

“…However, such high level of customer orientation no longer ensures competitive advantage (Mertins et al, 1996, cited in Lee and Chuah, 2001). Researchers such as Oberoi et al (2008) and Parveen and Rao (2009) are well aware that improving business processes is also paramount for firms to stay competitive in today's marketplace. The traditional view of quality and performance has been reassessed and Business Process Improvement (BPI) has been introduced to provide an effective and comprehensive means to improve a firm's performance (Zairi, 1997).…”

One of the most critical gaps in the literature is the lack of empirical research pertaining to what attributes of the supplier influence the process improvement of the buyer, and the other is the lack of theoretical framework relating to how and why the buyer's process improvement is affected by the supplier selection factors. This study aims to fill these gaps and empirically explore the relationship between supplier selection and Business Process Improvement (BPI). The results indicate the supplier's Quality, Service, Organisation, Relationship and Cycle Time have relations to the buyer's Improvement Initiative and Customer Focus while the supplier's Cost, as an important selection factor, has no relation to the BPI factors. As an exploratory study, it also intends to refine issues, identify important variables, formulate more precise questions and generate hypotheses for further research.

“…Six Sigma approach focuses on identifying and eliminating anything that caused variation in the process. When the variation is gone, the process results can be precisely predictedevery time (Oberoi et al, 2008). By designing the system so that these precisely predictable results fall within the zone of acceptable performance from a customer perspective, process errors are eliminated (Ohno and Tanner, 2007).…”

PurposeManufacturing industry is quite badly hit due to the coronavirus. Manufacturing has been stopped in every country. The present study will provide assistance to the practitioners to recover manufacturing sector from the after-effects of coronavirus.Design/methodology/approachA thorough review of the recent articles published in the newspaper and web has been done to make a viewpoint on the global industrial impact due to epidemic corona. Reports of WHO, IMF, World Bank, RBI and so forth are also reviewed. Further, Lean Six Sigma has been suggested which can be implemented to recover manufacturing industry from the ill effects of corona.FindingsIn present study the problem causd in the manufacturing sector due to corona virus has been identified and a clinical treatment for the same has been proposed by using the tools and techniques of Lean Six Sigma.Originality/valueThe impact of coronavirus has become a huge issue not only for the physical health of human beings but also for the economic health of most of the countries in the world, as it is pushing the world economy toward huge economic depression. Therefore, it becomes the moral responsibility of industrial experts to suggest the tools and techniques to the manufacturing industry for faster recovery.

“…Today, more and more industries are adopting advanced manufacturing technologies and systems to cope up with this market pressure. It has been established that the manufacturing flexibility is an important component to respond quickly to changing markets and customer demands without incurring excessive time and cost (Oberoi et al 2008). So, industries are now opting for low volume, high variety flexible manufacturing system (FMS) instead of the conventional mass production (Dixit and Raj 2016).…”

In today’s versatile and dynamic industrial scenario more and more industries are adopting advanced manufacturing technologies and systems like flexible manufacturing system (FMS) which combines the efficiency of a mass production line and the flexibility of a job shop. Material handling equipment form an important component of FMS and using proper material handling equipment can enhance the production process, provide effective utilization of manpower, increase production and improve system flexibility. In this research the main material handling issues in a FMS are identified and further evaluated using ISM and TOPSIS approaches. The purpose of identification of these issues and their analysis is to allow researchers and practicing managers to pay proper attention to these issues which may help them in designing the material handling systems in their organisations in a better way.
