“…The seven wastes are: motion, overproduction, over processing, lead time, rework, inventory and defects (Chakravorty and Shah, 2012;Lee and Wei, 2009;Bhuiyan et al, 2006;Vinodh et al, 2011). In addition, two more types of waste have appeared in literature recently as stated by Vinodh et al (2012): underutilization of people's creativity and environmental waste.…”

“…Lean also focusses on reduction of total cycle time (Drohomeretski et al, 2013;Lee and Wei, 2009) and reduction of lead time (Hu et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2010). Lean consists of many tools and techniques for improvement such as the Kanban system, 5S, Cause and Effect analysis (C&E), Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and many others (Drohomeretski et al, 2013;Chen and Lyu, 2009;Thomas et al, 2009).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore the most common themes within Lean Six Sigma (LSS) in the manufacturing sector, and to identify any gaps in those themes that may be preventing users from getting the most benefit from their LSS strategy. This paper also identifies the gaps in current literature and develops an agenda for future research into LSS themes. Design/methodology/approach -The following research is based on a review of 37 papers that were published on LSS in the top journals in the field and other specialist journals, from 2000 to 2013.Findings -Many issues have emerged in this paper and important themes have cited which are: benefits, motivation factors, limitations and impeding factors. The analysis of 19 case studies in the manufacturing sector has resulted in significant benefits cited in this paper. However, many gaps and limitations need to be explored in future research as there have been little written on LSS as a holistic strategy for business improvement. Practical implications -It is important for practitioners to be aware of LSS benefits, limitations and impeding factors before starting the LSS implementation process. Hence, this paper could provide valuable insights to practitioners. Originality/value -This paper is based on a comprehensive literature review which gives an opportunity to LSS researchers to understand some common themes within LSS in depth. In addition, highlighting many gaps in the current literature and developing an agenda for future research, will save time and effort for readers looking to research topics within LSS.

Abstract-The success of the implementation of LeanMethodologies and Six Sigma tools has been very well documented, particularly for manufacturing plants. Furthermore, the use of both methodologies, simultaneously, is recommended in scenarios where simplicity and a focus on waste reduction are required. With the objective of taking most of the benefit of the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, we are interested in designing a framework for the implementation of a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology in an Ecuadorian Children Hospital, where the final goal is to be recognized as a world-class healthcare institution.

“…The integration of lean six sigma can create a dramatic improvement rather than when lean or six sigma is used separately [16]. This integration can reduce cost, time and improve quality and organisational performance [4], [6]. Lean six sigma will lead to synergies for quality improvement in industry and promote the combination of human and process aspects as a part of process improvement that it will reinforce each other simultaneously [11], [17].…”

“…Aggogeri and Mazzola [3] showed that the combination of lean six sigma could increase the performance level of a manufacturing system in particular a significant result in reduction of costs of poor quality, increasing process cycle efficiency and also increasing process capability. Lee and Wei [4] mentioned that the combination of lean and six sigma concept at PCB manufacturing industry would recognise key process input variables which would result in reducing the variance of mold changing process and time. Dario et al [5] presented an application model of the lean six sigma DMAIC to improve manufacturing process that has a significant result in reducing costs saving on raw material.…”

Abstract-Due to the increasing demand for green manufacturing, environmental performance has become an important consideration during product design and development. The new paradigm of competitiveness of product would involve quality and environmental performance. This paradigm will force manufacturing industry to improve their environmental performance continuously. That means, environmental performance has to be considered during product design and development process. Moreover, environmental performance has to be put as a part of business activities in the manufacturing industry and also has to be targeted as the improvement effort. Current application of product development is concerned with four areas of performance like cost, quality, time and service. There is no consideration of environmental performance into continuous improvement methodology or product development. Environmental evaluation is considered quite late in the product development process and it is conducted separately (not integrated with development activities). This paper presents the development of environmental performance model using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS). The proposed model could be integrated into product development or continuous improvement methodology as the improvement target.Index Terms-Green manufacturing, environmental performance, continuous improvement, design for six sigma.
