“…By automating processes, Industry 4.0 technology and LSS in manufacturing reduce Lean waste. Streamlining the procedure or workflow, as well as decentralization, virtualization, adaptability, personalization and sustainability will reduce variations and inefficiencies (Ranjith Kumar et al, 2022). In this analysis, bibliometric analysis was adopted to identify and gather LSS 4.0 and its related papers from two recognized databases, Scopus and WoS, between the years 2011 and 2022.…”

“…Therefore, to fill the research gap in the domain of LSS 4.0, in addition to the bibliometric analysis, a conceptual framework of LSS 4.0 was developed by emphasizing the aspects of ergonomics/human factors, sustainability and operational impact. The importance of this framework is also highlighted in various recommendations and suggestions given by various researchers (Ranjith Kumar et al, 2022;Yilmaz et al, 2022).…”

“…There is an urgent need to develop appropriate strategies for overcoming the barriers to successful LSS 4.0 implementation in all types of organizations and sectors (Vinodh and Shimray, 2022). There is a potential opportunity for future researchers to work on finding an appropriate method to integrate LSS tools and techniques with the technologies of I4.0 (Kumar et al, 2022). It is also important to investigate appropriate and clear adoption guidelines and roadmaps for I4.0 and LSS technologies that will help managers and practitioners to implement LSS 4.0 in an organization.…”

“…The term "Lean" was coined in 1990 by Womack, Jones and Roos to describe the Toyota Production System. After Second World War, lean was developed in the Japanese industry to meet a wide range of demand in small quantities (Kumar et al, 2022). Toyota implemented this concept in its manufacturing system to reduce human effort, investment, inventory and defects while producing a variety of customized products (Womack et al, 2007).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the research landscape of LSS 4.0 papers published in two well-known repositories, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), in terms of publication trends, article distribution by author, journal, affiliations and country, and article clustering based on keywords, authors and countries. In addition, a literature review was carried out to build a conceptual framework of integrated Lean Six Sigma and Industry 4.0 (LSS 4.0) that encompasses operational, sustainability and human factors or ergonomics aspects.Design/methodology/approachThe literature review of integrated Lean Six Sigma and I4.0 publications published in Scopus and WoS databases in the current decade was conducted for the present study. This study categorizes LSS, I4.0 and related research articles based on publication patterns, journals, authors and affiliations, country and continental-wise distribution and clustering the articles based on keywords and authors from the Scopus and WoS databases from 2011 to 2022 using the search strings “Lean”, “Six Sigma”, “Lean Six Sigma” and “Industry 4.0” in the Title, Abstract and Keywords using Biblioshiny, VOS viewer and Microsoft Excel.FindingsIn the recent three years, from 2020 to 2022, LSS 4.0 has been substantially increasing and is seen as an emerging and trending area. This research identifies the most influential authors, most relevant affiliations, most prolific countries and most productive journals and clusters based on keywords, authors and countries. Further, a conceptual framework was developed that includes the impact of operational, sustainability and ergonomic or human factors in LSS 4.0.Research limitations/implicationsThis article assists in comprehending the trends and patterns of LSS 4.0. Further, the conceptual framework helps professionals and researchers understand the significance and impact of integrating LSS and Industry 4.0 in the aspects of human factors/ergonomic, sustainability and operations. Also, the research induce professionals to incorporate all these factors while designing and implementing LSS 4.0 in their organization.Originality/valueThis conceptual framework and bibliometric analysis would aid in identifying potential areas of research and providing future directions in the domain of LSS 4.0. It will be beneficial for academicians, professionals and researchers who are planning to apply and integrate techniques of LSS and technologies of I4.0 in their organizations and research.

PurposeHospital structures serve to protect and improve public health; however, they are recognized as a major source of environmental degradation. Thus, an effective performance evaluation framework is required to improve hospital sustainability. In this context, this study presents a holistic methodology that integrates the sustainability balanced scorecard (SBSC) with fuzzy Delphi method and fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making approaches for evaluating the sustainability performance of hospitals.Design/methodology/approachInitially, a comprehensive list of relevant sustainability evaluation criteria was considered based on six SBSC-based dimensions, in line with triple-bottom-line sustainability dimensions, and derived from the literature review and experts’ opinions. Then, the weights of perspectives and their respective criteria are computed and ranked utilizing the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. Subsequently, the hospitals’ sustainable performance values are ranked based on these criteria using the Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution.FindingsA numerical application was conducted in six public hospitals to exhibit the proposed model’s applicability. The results of this study revealed that “Patient satisfaction,” “Efficiency,” “Effectiveness,” “Access to care” and “Waste production,” respectively, are the five most important criteria of sustainable performance.Practical implicationsThe new model will provide decision-makers with management tools that may help them identify the relevant factors for upgrading the level of sustainability in their hospitals and thus improve public health and community well-being.Originality/valueThis is the first study that proposes a new hybrid decision-making methodology for evaluating and comparing hospitals’ sustainability performance under a fuzzy environment.

Agri‐food supply chains (AFSCs) need to become more sustainable, and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is a crucial enabler. However, various barriers make adopting I4.0 technologies to achieve AFSC sustainability challenging. Few previous studies have examined China's agri‐food industry. Through a literature review and consultation of Chinese experts, we identify 27 barriers in six categories and prioritize these using a group‐based fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to produce novel results. First, we identify six new I4.0 adoption barriers closely linked with China's economic, social and cultural environments, including acquisition of intelligent agricultural equipment subsidies based on guanxi. Second, our prioritization of barriers reveals that the key challenges to applying I4.0 are the increased cost of terminal logistics, acquisition of intelligent agricultural equipment subsidies based on guanxi, low compatibility of I4.0 technologies with existing agricultural equipment, and problems with the government subsidy model. These results have managerial implications for governments and knowledge dissemination organizations.
