“…Pereira et al (2019) with the implementation of Lean Six Sigma tools in CNC machines, in a Moulding Industry, obtained an improvement of about 20% in the overall OEE. Guleria et al (2022) obtained excellent improvements in an automobile transmission component manufacturing industry after successive implementation of Lean Six Sigma practices, such as reducing the reject rate (from 10.4% to 3.20%); reducing the shop floor area for processing axes, and improving the sigma level.…”

Purpose: This research aimed to make a diagnosis of the implementation of Lean and Six Sigma philosophies in Portuguese laboratories and to evaluate the impact of these philosophies on organizational performance. Methodology/Approach: A quantitative research methodology was used, based on the survey research strategy, and using as data collection instrument an original online questionnaire, validated and distributed to the Portuguese laboratories via email. The sample was composed by 106 laboratories. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were applied to the data, using IBM SPSS software. Findings: It was found that most laboratories do not know the Lean Approach and/or Six Sigma philosophies, and their implementation occurred in about one tenth of the sample. The laboratories that implemented the philosophies were found to have a larger number of employees and turnover. Finally, regarding organizational performance it was found to be superior in laboratories that implemented at least one of the philosophies when compared to laboratories that did not implement any Lean and/or Six Sigma philosophy. Research Limitation/Implication: The small sample size, which corresponds to approximately 15% of the population, is the main limitation of the study. Originality/Value of paper: This study is the first diagnosis on the application of Lean and Six Sigma philosophies made in the Portuguese laboratory market, and may provide relevant inputs for decision-making in this context.

“…For instance, Rathi et al (2022) developed and validated a framework for implementing LSS for operational efficiency improvement coupled with environmental and social sustainability benefits in a leading Indian manufacturing company. Guleria et al (2022) in their study presented a practical pathway to identify and eliminate wastages using the LSS tool in a well-known automobile transmission components manufacturing industry and presented some interesting insights on the accrued benefits. Singh et al (2021a, b) presented a study that investigated and prioritized the enablers which facilitate the effective implementation of environmental LSS in Micro-Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).…”

PurposeThe topic of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) implementation in a supply chain context is an emerging research stream comprising of diverse objectives and complex processes thereby presenting opportunities for further exploration and organizational process improvement. Thus, this study proposes an integrated multi-criteria decision-making methodology to determine what can facilitate the successful implementation of LSS as an organizational change strategy in the manufacturing supply chain.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed methodology based on Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory and hierarchical Evaluation Based on Distance to Average Solution is employed to ascertain the relative importance and priorities of an identified framework of factors with the aid of opinions of managers in the Nigerian plastics industry.FindingsThe results show a high significance of institution-based factors (e.g. government regulations) and present relevant implications to the policymakers as well as the managers and practitioners of the plastics manufacturing industry.Originality/valueThis study indicates a possible pathway to accurately evaluate a framework of critical factors to integrate and institutionalize LSS in the manufacturing supply chain for organizational performance improvement.

The intellectualization of equipment operation and maintenance is one of the main development directions under the background of intelligent manufacturing. Based on lean theory and an intelligent algorithm, this paper establishes the equipment hierarchical management model and equipment intelligent operation and maintenance framework, introduces the lean management strategy and equipment operation state prediction algorithm in the operation and maintenance framework in detail, and finally realizes the design and development of equipment intelligent operation and maintenance platform. The platform has been proved in a steel structure manufacturing enterprise that it can effectively realize equipment condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance prediction, and has a significant effect in reducing accidental shutdown loss and improving machine utilization.
