“…A supply chain network consists of independent organizations that are directly involved in the upstream and downstream flows of resources such as products, finances, information and services from a source of origin to the end consumers (Agi and Jha, 2022). Invariably, it can be defined as functional networks that process purchasing raw materials to transform them into intermediate products, and finished products that can be sold to consumers at the end (Ding et al, 2022). Likewise, supply chain management can be defined as a set of operations that are usually carried out by organizations to promote the efficient management of their supply chain networks (Orji and Wei, 2015).…”

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.
