“…A high level of urban public transport indicates the status of a modern town. The application of the Six Sigma method has the potential to contribute to the quality of public services (Kuvvetli & Firuzan, 2019). Chakraborty & Tan (2012) provide the basis for the successful application of Six Sigma in the services sector.…”

Qualitative and quantitative approaches to multicriteria evaluation and managerial decision- making often ignore the specifics of the role of the human factor. This article summarizes management methods that reflect not only numerical inputs but also data of a qualitative nature while considering their applicability in the tourism sector. Some of them can be assorted within the classes of Artificial intelligence. The focus is on the fuzzy approach at the theoretical and application level. The fuzzy approach is used to evaluate the degree of country travel and tourism competitiveness of selected European and Asian countries based on subjective rankings from the viewpoint of travelling persons. The results indicate that among countries under review, China is ranked as a highly competitive country in travel & tourism. Conditional competitive countries in terms of travel & tourism are the Czech Republic, Pakistan, Russia, and Turkey.

“…The organisational selection of Lean, Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma It remains common to see articles that explore case studies or a focus on exclusively on Lean or Six Sigma across a range of industries and sectors (Bateman et al, 2018;Lindskog et al, 2017;Kuvvetli and Firuzan, 2017;Gupta et al, 2016). In considering the integrated deployment of LSS, research has explored areas such as readiness factors (Antony, 2014), success factors ( Juliani and de Oliveira, 2017), failure factors (Albliwi et al, 2014) and sustainability (Cherrafi et al, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper, builds on previous studies that explored the research patterns over 15 years, is to consider the current status of the integration of Lean and Six Sigma. More specifically, this research addresses whether Lean and Six Sigma are stronger together and explores the reasons why Lean researchers and practitioners may be less likely to integrate Six Sigma in their work. Design/methodology/approach The research utilises a survey of 25 established and respected academics and practitioners from 16 countries. The questionnaire is analysed using a direct content approach and coded in NVivo. Findings The findings suggest that challenges may lie in the perception and understanding of statistics as well as short-term rather than long-term focus on improvement. The findings also suggest that academics and practitioners believe that Lean Six Sigma has developed over time and will continue to develop and improve as a methodology rather than being replaced with a new methodology. Research limitations/implications The survey has a sample size of 25, albeit all respondents are established and very experienced practitioners and academics. Practical implications For organisations that are introducing or refreshing their continuous improvement initiatives, this research identifies some of the challenges and provides the opportunity to address them to maximise the opportunities for success and sustainability. Originality/value The value of this paper is that it further addresses the debate over the integration of Lean and Six Sigma for many organisations which still employ Lean alone, but beyond this it explores how they will continue to develop and whether they are a permanent edition to the quality management landscape or a transition to something else.

“…Running small Lean projects in transport and logistic services (Garza-Reyes et al, 2016;Kawa et al, 2019) can induce major improvements in quality (Kuvvetli and Firuzan, 2019), reducing cost of operations and reducing lead time (SARAVANAN et al, 2018). Lean tools help to face the dilemma of improving quality, reducing cost and lead time, meeting the customer demands and providing high quality services (NAINAAR and MASSON, 2018;PONTE et al, 2018).…”

Purpose: This article is focused on the premise that applying Lean tools in transport and logistic services can contribute to reduce the costs, stocks, lead time and simultaneously contributing to major financial achievements. The objective is to create a model that allows the analysis and deployment of a Lean project in Logistic and Transport services. Methodology: Facing the lack of information about the deployment and the results of the Lean tools in Logistic and transport services in Portugal we used as case study one example of a Portuguese company that deployed Lean tools on their services and it will show that the tools and Lean principles can be used to improve quality and efficiency by using the company existing resources, reducing causalities in the service provided and in all logistic process. Findings: Lean tools provide efficiency in the services, allowing the increasing of the existing capacity in the company, provide a continuous improvement process. Even with low investments sustaining Lean projects can produce large improvement in efficiency of the processes and in the company profits. Research Limitation: The data available about the subject in Portugal was the major limitation to the study.
