“…On the other hand Azadeh, Nasirian, Salehi, and Kouzehchi used the SS methodology with the main objective of evaluating and optimizing the consequences of SS in working conditions, the main ones to be evaluated were: general working conditions, development of personal, cooperation and companionship, work stress and safety. This study indicated that the general working condition factor has the greatest impact on the level of satisfaction, compared to the other indices [21]. Pugna, Negrea, and Miclea present a creative solution to improve an assembly process in an automotive company through the use of SS, Pugna et al, mentions the desire to achieve business excellence in the automotive industry and assumes the commitment to develop and deliver perfect solutions, products or services, promoting the production philosophy Zero defects and considers that SS is the best way to achieve quality and reduce waste by helping organizations to produce better products and services, faster and cheaper [22].…”

Organization’s competitiveness and profitability are part of its main objectives, developing different strategies to position themselves as one of the best, being one of these strategies Six Sigma (SS), initially developed in processes of manufacturing to eliminate production and services defects. However, literature has reported various applications and areas of implementation of SS, such as the administrative area. The objective of this article is to present results obtained in literature review related to the SS strategy. The article begins with basic strategy definitions, followed by the main applications and implementation areas, additionally, an analysis of the critical success factors (CSF) is shown as a suggestion for those who wish to develop the strategy and improve the administrative processes. The CSF is: Management Support and Commitment, Relationship with Clients, Organizational Culture, Education and Training, Organizational Infrastructure and Communication.

“…The theoretical analysis conducted in this research shows that all studies that have applied or evaluated LSS at some point highlight one of the factors mentioned by Alhuraish et al (2017). Azadeh et al (2016), for example, evaluates and optimizes the effect of Six Sigma implementation on working conditions of the employees of an automotive company, emphasizing aspects such as stress at work, satisfaction and safety at work, personal development and cooperation among employees.…”

Due to the competitiveness of companies to increase market share, they have been more and more interested in topics related to cost reduction, process efficiency, new customers and continuous improvement. Considering this scenario, this study conducted analyses and implemented improvements using the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology in a grain receipt process of a Brazilian agroindustrial cooperative to increase its profitability and consolidate a culture of continuous improvement in the cooperative. With the DMAIC steps, the Project Charter was used to describe the opportunities, to define the team and the macro schedule of the project; then SIPOC was used to understand the process, its inputs and outputs; the Requirements Tree was used to listen to the voice of the customer/business; Y Stratification was used to divide the work fronts; Process Mapping was used to identify the activities that do not add values; Cause and Effect Diagram and Matrix were used to identify and prioritize root causes; FMEA to analyze the risks and failure modes; and 5 Whys to generate an action plan, improvements were implemented in the bulk terminal that reduced the truck waiting time by 40 min for grain unloading; the quantity of truck inside the bulk terminal were also controlled with the upper limit of 60 trucks and the lower limit of 40 vehicles, so that the grain receipt process could improve its efficiency.

“…However, some research can be found which applied DEA for selecting, improving, or evaluating six sigma projects as well. For example, Hadi-Vencheh and Yousefi [26] and Wen et al [27] applied a hybrid DEA technique to select six sigma projects whereas Azadeh et al [28] performed a PCA-DEA approach to investigate the effect of six sigma extension on key job features in car industry.…”

Total quality management (TQM) and knowledge management (KM) play a significant role in improving the situation of the organization and creating and maintaining competitive advantage (CA). Therefore, harmonizing TQM and KM with the organizational goals and performance leads to the organization’s greater capabilities. The current paper presents a decision support framework to evaluate the performance of organizations based on the success factors (SFs) of TQM and KM using the BCC model of data envelopment analysis (DEA). The SFs of KM are considered as input and the SFs of TQM are considered as output of the BCC model, and the efficiency scores of five pharmaceutical companies in Esfahan, Iran, are obtained. The results show that, among the aforementioned companies, three companies were recognized as efficient, while two of them were introduced as inefficient companies. Furthermore, in order to provide more recommendations for the managers of these companies, two area charts according to SFs of TQM and KM were drawn, and the results were analyzed and discussed.
