“…Additionally, there was evidence of the benefits generated from integrations based on evidence from several authors, confirming these beneficial relationships, as cited by Sordan et al (2022), andTissir et al (2022). Furthermore, the results here confirm that SS helps implement and supports I4.0 technologies, with greater emphasis on Big Data/BDA e IoT, allowing organizations to take advantage of opportunities with this knowledge (Chiarini and Kumar, 2020;Gijo et al, 2021;Vinodh and Shimray, 2022).…”

“…There is a need for explicitly studying SS/LSS integrations with I4.0 to help organizations practically implement and support managers (Antony et al, 2022;Tissir et al, 2022;Vinodh and Shimray, 2022). However, to overcome these challenges, or take advantage of future opportunities, one must first understand which technologies support SS, along with any integration relationships that may exist, how they occur and the changes and benefits to SS brought about by I4.0 (Antony et al, 2019;Saidi and Soulhi, 2018;Chiarini and Kumar, 2020;Gijo et al, 2021;Vinodh and Shimray, 2022). The motivation for this study came from the lack of studies on integrations between I4.0 and SS, along with the need for understanding the changes that I4.0 can bring about to SS and the potential benefits of certain integrations.…”

“…There is a lack of studies on the integration between SS and various I4.0 technologies (Antony et al ., 2022; Sordan et al ., 2022). As such, the integration relationships of SS and LSS (focusing on SS aspects) with I4.0 is indeed a gap in literature (Antony et al ., 2022; Vinodh and Shimray, 2022).…”

PurposeThere is increasing interest in the connection between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and operational excellence approaches; however, studies on the integration between Six Sigma (SS) and I4.0 have been absent from the literature. Integration with I4.0 technologies can maximize the positive effects of SS. The purpose of this study is to understand what types of relationships exist between SS and I4.0 and with I4.0's technologies, as well as the benefits derived from this integration and future directions for this field of study.Design/methodology/approachA Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried out to analyze studies about connections between I4.0 technologies and SS. SLR analyzed 59 articles from 2013 to 2021 extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, including documents from journals and conferences.FindingsThe SLR identified relationships between SS and several I4.0 technologies, the most cited and with the greatest possibilities of relationships being Big Data/Big Data Analytics (BDA) and Internet of Things (IoT). Three main types of relationships were identified: (1) support of I4.0 technologies to SS; (2) assistance from the SS to the introduction of I4.0 technologies, and, to a lesser extent; (3) incompatibilities between SS and I4.0 technologies. The benefits are mainly related to availability of large data sets and real-time information, enabling better decision-making in less time.Practical implicationsIn addition, the study can help managers to understand the integration relationships, which may encourage companies to adopt SS/Lean Six Sigma (LSS) in conjunction with I4.0 technologies. The results also drew attention to the incompatibilities between SS and I4.0 to anticipate potential barriers to implementation.Originality/valueThe study focuses on three previously unexplored subjects: the connection between SS and I4.0, the existing relationships with different technologies and the benefits resulting from the relationships. In addition, the study compiled and structured different types of relationships for SS and I4.0 and I4.0's technologies, identifying patterns and presenting evidence on how these relationships occur. Finally, exposes current trends and possible research directions.

“…More experimental research is needed to identify the benefits and critical barriers of LSS 4.0 in the manufacturing and service sectors of Large and, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Antony et al, 2023). There is an urgent need to develop appropriate strategies for overcoming the barriers to successful LSS 4.0 implementation in all types of organizations and sectors (Vinodh and Shimray, 2022). There is a potential opportunity for future researchers to work on finding an appropriate method to integrate LSS tools and techniques with the technologies of I4.0 (Kumar et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the research landscape of LSS 4.0 papers published in two well-known repositories, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS), in terms of publication trends, article distribution by author, journal, affiliations and country, and article clustering based on keywords, authors and countries. In addition, a literature review was carried out to build a conceptual framework of integrated Lean Six Sigma and Industry 4.0 (LSS 4.0) that encompasses operational, sustainability and human factors or ergonomics aspects.Design/methodology/approachThe literature review of integrated Lean Six Sigma and I4.0 publications published in Scopus and WoS databases in the current decade was conducted for the present study. This study categorizes LSS, I4.0 and related research articles based on publication patterns, journals, authors and affiliations, country and continental-wise distribution and clustering the articles based on keywords and authors from the Scopus and WoS databases from 2011 to 2022 using the search strings “Lean”, “Six Sigma”, “Lean Six Sigma” and “Industry 4.0” in the Title, Abstract and Keywords using Biblioshiny, VOS viewer and Microsoft Excel.FindingsIn the recent three years, from 2020 to 2022, LSS 4.0 has been substantially increasing and is seen as an emerging and trending area. This research identifies the most influential authors, most relevant affiliations, most prolific countries and most productive journals and clusters based on keywords, authors and countries. Further, a conceptual framework was developed that includes the impact of operational, sustainability and ergonomic or human factors in LSS 4.0.Research limitations/implicationsThis article assists in comprehending the trends and patterns of LSS 4.0. Further, the conceptual framework helps professionals and researchers understand the significance and impact of integrating LSS and Industry 4.0 in the aspects of human factors/ergonomic, sustainability and operations. Also, the research induce professionals to incorporate all these factors while designing and implementing LSS 4.0 in their organization.Originality/valueThis conceptual framework and bibliometric analysis would aid in identifying potential areas of research and providing future directions in the domain of LSS 4.0. It will be beneficial for academicians, professionals and researchers who are planning to apply and integrate techniques of LSS and technologies of I4.0 in their organizations and research.
