“…For the implementation of LSS in a company, CSFs have first to be determined. Many researchers (Antony et al, 2020;Iyede et al, 2018;Mundra and Mishra, 2020;Sodhi et al, 2019a;Swarnakar et al, 2019Swarnakar et al, , 2020Vallejo et al, 2020) believe that many LSS-related projects failed due to factors such as insufficient resources to define and implement improvements. Therefore, these CSFs must be prioritised to help companies to allocate their limited resources to them.…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to find and prioritise multiple critical success factors (CSFs) for the implementation of LSS in the oil and gas industry.Design/methodology/approachBased on a preselected list of possible CFSs, experts are involved in screening them with the Delphi method. As a result, 22 customised CSFs are selected. To prioritise these CSFs, the step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) method is applied to find weights corresponding to the decision-making preferences. Since the regular permutation-based weight assessment can be classified as NP-hard, the problem is solved by a metaheuristic method. For this purpose, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used.FindingsThe resulting prioritisation of CSFs helps companies find out which factors have a high priority in order to focus on them. The less important factors can be neglected and thus do not require limited resources.Research limitations/implicationsOnly a specific set of methods have been considered.Practical implicationsThe resulting prioritisation of CSFs helps companies find out which factors have a high priority in order to focus on them.Social implicationsThe methodology supports respective evaluations in general.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the very limited research on the implementation of LSS in the oil and gas industry, and, in addition, it suggests the usage of SWARA, a permutation method and a GA, which have not yet been researched, for the prioritisation of CSFs of LSS.

This research paper explores the application of lean manufacturing techniques for process improvement in the cable company. Lean manufacturing is a philosophy and methodology focused on eliminating waste and maximizing value-added activities in production processes. The cable industry faces various challenges, including complex production flows, high demand variability, and increasing customer expectations. Therefore, implementing lean manufacturing principles becomes crucial to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall customer satisfaction. The paper begins by providing an overview of lean manufacturing principles, including the identification and elimination of various forms of waste such as overproduction, defects, waiting time, excessive inventory, and unnecessary motion. It highlights the importance of creating a culture of continuous improvement and engaging employees at all levels of the organization in the lean transformation process. Overall, this research paper provides a comprehensive approach to implementing lean manufacturing techniques in the cable company for process improvement. It serves as a valuable resource for managers, engineers, and practitioners in the cable industry seeking to enhance operational efficiency and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a data-driven philosophy that drives performance improvement by eliminating waste and reducing variability. Food Manufacturing (FM) companies introduce programs like LSS to improve competitiveness. However, LSS implementations are complicated and complex. Companies must carefully manage the implementation of LSS to achieve the desired outcomes. In line with this, proper management of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) can enhance the initiative's chances of success. This research aims to identify, rank, and understand the CSFs, and recommend strategies to manage them within Philippine FM companies. A combined approach of structured literature review, structured survey, and structured interview were used to gather the necessary data. The thematic analysis and Relative Importance Index method revealed that there are 15 CSFs. These CSFs were synthesized into 4 clusters: Synergy, Expertise in LSS, Effective Management, and Dedicated Leadership. Thus, to be successful, all stakeholders within the company must have the essential hard and soft skills to execute the DMAIC framework and manage the initiative as a whole. More importantly, they must have the proper working environment, be aligned to the intended goal, and fully cooperate and contribute to the activities that must be accomplished to achieve the target future state.
