Purpose Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a continuous improvement methodology used to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of processes. Although there are several articles published, only two have analyzed the literature from a bibliometrics perspective. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the LSS literature by bibliometrics, identifying its state of the art, scientific gaps and research trends. Design/methodology/approach Articles published up to 2016 in the database Scopus were investigated to identify the most significant articles, authors, journals, institutions and countries based on citation counting as well as the most frequent keywords and subject areas on LSS. Articles published in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were analyzed to point out scientific gaps and to identify eight main research trends on LSS. Findings The research trends are: “LSS implementation”, “Healthcare”, “LSS tools”, “Human factors”, “Expansion of results”, “SME”, “LSS combined with other methodologies” and “Education”. The research outcomes also point out the most significant articles, authors, journals, institutions and countries in LSS literature. Practical implications This research contributes to develop the state of the art of LSS and helps professionals as well as researchers to identify which issues new studies should address. Originality/value The performance of the literature is measured based on the number of citations and not on the number of published papers, and the bibliometric analysis covers the highest number of articles so far (319 articles). Besides, the identification of the main research trends on LSS is exclusively based on the most recent studies.

Providing quality requirements in Software Engineering is vital to ensure the product developed is able to deploy and function to meet the operational objectives. Software Requirement Engineering is the most complex process because it involves the integration of human, logics and process. Extracting or capturing what customers need and want is called Requirement Elicitation (RE) and it is the most crucial process in requirement engineering. If handled poorly, the cost of the failures would be very expensive. Most of the software projects that failed were due to poor requirements which occurred at RE phase. Thus, enhancing and optimizing the RE methods have been subject to a long research debate to ensure quality requirements are captured. Recently, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) had emerged as part of a continuous improvement in Software Development Life Cycles (SDLC). LSS is known for a systematic and structure business improvement successfully deployed in many fields of industry that contributes a significant gain not only in quality of products and services but also in operational costs and delivery. The objective of the research is to develop an integrated conceptual framework of LSS principles with Software Requirement Engineering methodology to optimize RE process. The article will produce conceptual framework as the comprehensive guidelines to capture quality software requirements.

“…A Six Sigma design is developed to enhance the design in terms of reliability and robustness. ArunKumar and Dillibabu 19 used a Kano Lean Six Sigma model to develop a new quality improvement model to enhance software quality without increasing effort, cost, and time. Zhou et al 20 also proposed a multi-objective robust design optimisation method of the NPR bumper system to achieve rapid design while considering perturbation induced by parameter uncertainties.…”

With the protection requirements of armoured vehicles continuously improving, the design of anti-explosion components of vehicles is facing increasing challenges. This paper describes a Six Sigma method that is used to optimise the anti-explosion protection components of the vehicle. The thicknesses of some key components of the anti-explosion components and the distributions of the beam are selected as the deterministic design variables. This paper considers the uncertainties in the design process for the failure of the weld and the bolt of the anti-explosion components. The surrogate model generated by the design of experimental (DOE) is combined with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) to execute the Six Sigma design. Six Sigma design provides the Pareto solution. Lastly, the experiments show that the design based on Six Sigma optimisation is accurate and reliability.
