Identify critical success factors to implement integrated green and Lean Six Sigma

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is analysis of Green and Lean Six Sigma, based on the success factors in its use through a well thought-out literature review, is being planned; a framework has been integrated in a productive manner with the Green and Lean and Six Sigma methods so as to incorporate and actualize the execution. Design/methodology/approach The methodology consists of comparative investigation of Green, Lean management and Six Sigma using open written work, essential analysis at data and master experience of the researchers. To achieve this goal, a significant review of the existing literature of the subject area has been done to prepare a framework in view of the critical success factors. A study was arranged and flowed survey from various businesses utilizing John’s Macintosh Project (JMP) statistical software. Findings The paper establishes the distinguishing proof of five success factors with their situational importance and shows that the integrated Green and Lean Six Sigma can drive the organizations to optimize their resources and cost of services or productions. Practical implications A Green and Lean Six Sigma organization would take profits by the use of the proposed framework in an alternate extent of organizations should be dynamic. The organizations should assess their shortcomings and qualities, set needs and perceive objectives for fruitful implementation. Originality/value Suggestions are being made regarding thoughts and methods that would constitute a Green and Lean Six Sigma organization. The suggested framework compare the method for improvements that may occur in organizations while implementation of the Green and Lean management or Six Sigma.

Reduction of defects in the lapping process of the silicon wafer manufacturing: the Six Sigma application

“…As part of the Six Sigma approach, a clear statement of the problem was drafted at the start of the project. Consistent with evidence of previous research (Mishra, 2018;Pyzdek, 2003), the scoping exercise largely consisted of ensuring that team members understand the nature of the problem and what is expected of them. A clear and shared understanding of the problem and the process at the early stages enabled working towards a common goal and channelling of team members' efforts in the right direction, avoiding any ambiguity or confusion.…”

Investigating the Theoretical Constructs of a Green Lean Six Sigma Approach towards Environmental Sustainability: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Directions

“…There exist few research studies that have identified the success factors of GLSS and investigated the interrelationship between the individual approaches. For example, Mishra [25] has identified five critical success factors of GLSS which are: (1) management and employee commitment, (2) organization's readiness to execute GLSS strategy, (3) selection and prioritization of GLSS projects, (4) provision of resources and training for GLSS implementation, and (5) focus on evaluation and results of GLSS program. Kaswan and Rathi [56] have determined 12 critical success factors and prioritize seven of these (based on experts' opinions) [90] by utilizing the best worst method (BWM), which can facilitate organizations in ranking these factors at the preliminary stage of GLSS program.…”

“…Few studies have identified the theoretical constructs of a GLSS approach such as drivers, critical success factors (CSFs), tools and techniques, barriers, and outcomes individually [2,22,24,25]. However, there is little research that addresses the above GLSS constructs as a consolidated approach in reducing environmental impacts of organizations [10,19].…”

The Effect of Implementing of Six Sigma Approach in Improving the Quality of Higher Education Institutions in Bahrain

“…The use of Six Sigma comes with a clear focus on achieving quantifiable and measurable financial returns to an organization"s bottom line. In examining the present state of Six Sigma approach in service based industries, [5] prescribe ways in which organizations can actively implement the approach for positive results. Studies by [17]- [20] investigate the success factors organizations should check for while implementing Six Sigma.…”

“…One definition of quality in education by the authors [1]- [3] stated that the quality in education "focusing on meeting a pre-defined set of standards, specifications, and requirements, or focusing on exceeding the highest standards in pursuit of excellence and exclusivity". Other definition by the authors [4], [5] stated the quality in education can be defined as "focusing on accountability to the public or providing a transformative learning experience to benefit students and employers".…”
