The main aim of this study is to identify the impact of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) practices on physiotherapy service quality at healthcare centers of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), using a descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed among 49 physiotherapists working at UNRWA healthcare centers as a census sampling method between July 2016 and August 2017, following the stratified random sampling method. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the collected data. The results revealed that there was a statistically significant relationship between Lean Six Sigma (LSS) dimensions and the quality of healthcare services provided in physiotherapy units at the UNRWA healthcare centers. Moreover, the application of Lean Six Sigma dimensions was adopted at 81% of UNRWA healthcare centers. Moreover, the percentage of patients' satisfaction regarding the quality of healthcare services provided in physiotherapy units was 89%. The study emphasized the effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma dimensions application on the quality healthcare services provided in physiotherapy units at the UNRWA healthcare centers. Furthermore, employee training and reward according to a needs assessment to implement Lean Six Sigma successfully is highly recommended.

<span lang="EN-US">The quality of teaching and pedagogical practices of teachers is a global issue in education. The success of Six Sigma in several industries stimulates its potential to be applied in the field of education. However, discussions related to Six Sigma development in systematic education are still very limited. Therefore, this systematic literature study was conducted to synthesize empirical data on the implementation of the Six Sigma approach in education. This study focuses on two main objectives, namely, to identify the trends in the implementation of the Six Sigma approach in education based on national and year tendencies as well as to identify research sampling trends and the focus of the field of study. The Web of Science and Scopus databases have been used based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). The findings of systematic literature articles showed that India is the most dominant country conducting Six Sigma studies in education. Furthermore, related studies were conducted the most in 2017. In addition, the research samples are also more focused on the context of higher education institutions. These findings help improve the general understanding of Six Sigma in education to improve the quality of teachers in schools further.</span>

Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) represent 90% of the companies incorporated in the world, their importance is such that they generate between 60% and 70% of employment and 50% of GDP; the Peruvian case is not different from this context since MSMEs generate 85% of employment and contribute 84% of GDP. These companies develop their productive and commercial activity in different economic sectors, including textiles and clothing; This sector, which represents 7.2% of the gross domestic product (GDP), concentrates approximately 700,000 workers and has been growing at average rates of 40% in recent years. However, despite the dynamism and importance of this sector, productivity is extremely low; This is due to different factors, one of these being human capital management; this factor is related to the deficient processes of selection, hiring and training of personnel, which makes it difficult for these companies to have at all times workers who have the skills required to perform in the production processes and thus boost the competitiveness of this sector. To overcome these deficiencies, it has been established as the main objective in the following research to implement an agile and efficient model in the selection, hiring and training processes, which allows reducing staff turnover and contributing to the improvement of productivity based on Digital Transformation and the Lean Six Sigma methodology.
