“…It has been used in many applications, such as reducing the cost and improving the quality of SMEs (Soundararajan and Janardhan Reddy, 2019), improving the carbon usage efficiency in the tire manufacturing industry (Vaidya et al , 2020) and advancing sustainable manufacturing systems (Jamil et al , 2020). Moreover, it was used to improve the productivity of the caravan manufacturing company (Khan et al , 2020), reduce the soldering defects in a mobile phone manufacturing company (Garg et al , 2020) and improve the performance of the facility layout (Shaker Abualsaud et al , 2019). DMAIC methodology was also used to improve the performance of the procurement process in logistics enterprises (Mei et al , 2019) and enhance the performance of the railway transport enterprise (Nedeliaková et al , 2019).…”

Purpose This research paper aims to develop and validate an enhanced business process improvement methodology (EBPIM) by integrating the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control) and the comprehensive business process management (CBPM) methodologies. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review and analysis were conducted to prove the novelty of the research approach and identify the similarities, differences, strengths and weaknesses of the DMAIC and the CBPM methodologies. The EBPIM was proposed based on the analysis results. Then, a focus group approach was used to evaluate and validate the methodology. Findings The EBPIM consists of nine activities: preparation, selection, description, quantification, modeling, enactment, improvement opportunities selection, analysis and improvement and monitoring. The proposed methodology adopted the systematic and structured process of the DMAIC methodology by having one tollgate between every two activities to check the progress and authorize the team to go to the next activity. At the same time, it has the ability of the CBPM methodology to enhance the interaction between human activities and business process management systems (BPMS). Research limitations/implications The EBPIM was evaluated and validated by a focus group of academic professors. However, the main limitation of the proposed methodology is that it is still theoretical and needs to be empirically tested. Therefore, future work will focus on testing the EBPIM in different industries and organization sizes. Practical implications From the theoretical perspective, the proposed methodology adds value to the knowledge in the scope of business processes improvement methodologies (BPIMs) by integrating the DMAIC and the CBPM methodologies. It takes advantage of and combines the strengths of the DMAIC and CBPM methodologies. From the practical perspective, the proposed methodology presents a valuable tool that can facilitate the organization’s mission to improve the areas that need improvement using a systematic improvement methodology that will effectively enhance organizational performance (OP). Originality/value The BPIMs literature analysis proved that most of the reviewed methodologies could not support all phases of the business process improvement (BPI) activities. It was concluded that integrating the DMAIC and the CBPM methodologies is a novel approach. The proposed methodology will enhance the efficiency of both methodologies, fill the gaps that may exist in both of them and lead to better results in terms of BPI.

“…The design of experiment (DOE) was used to recognize the process limitations that led to product defects, and thus, the ideal setting required of main process limitations to solve product quality problem of was resolute. Recently, more cases presented of DMAIC application steps addressed by (Khan, Badar, and Alzaabi 2020), (Patyal, Modgil, and Koilakuntla 2021), (Kumar, Singh, and Bhamu 2021) and (Hardy, Kundu, and Latif 2021). Meanwhile and on the other hand, the DMADV scheme or approach is regularly referred to when applying new plans because of its based on data, its method and ability to identify success earlier , which requires detailed examination (Trubetskaya, Mcdermott, and Ryan 2023).…”

Present economic conflicts increase the continues demand for lucrative results that let companies to increase competitive benefit. For this purpose, more establishments look for organizational practices that permit them to enhance their service and/or products features, flawless their procedures, reduce expenses, strengthen the assets productivity and client's gratification. This have been verified through Lean practices and Six Sigma joined methods in their management and manufacture methods in which, Lean attention mostly on the elimination of waste or non-value added process, and Six Sigma on the control and management of process consistency. The integration of Lean and Six Sigma, which is Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a systematic approach to decrease or eliminate non-value-added process and optimize process variation. The implementation of LSS is laid on 2 fundamental methodologies, the "Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control" (DMAIC) methodology which focuses on process improvement, and the "Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify" (DMADV) methodology for new process invention. Finding from empirical review reveal that prior studies on LSS to view DMAIC and DMADV practices separately. the concept of how DMAIC and DMADV could be integrated for process improvement and new process invention are remains ambiguous. Hence, this paper aims to review the literature of DMAIC and DMADV with the objective to propose the fundamental concept of integrating both DMAIC and DMADV approach into one standard process improvement and invention methodology.

“…A Lean tool: observation is used to eliminate waste and identify causes of variations [7]. DMAIC approach has been used to improve productivity in a caravan manufacturing company in the UAE [30]. A study has been done on the existing Six Sigma methodologies and quality improvement procedures in a small engineering firm in the USA, which suggested a plan to improve service quality and customer satisfaction [10].…”

This work proposes a Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to be used in manufacturing industry that combines Lean, Energy and Six-Sigma methodologies. Lean's VSM tool is amended to energy VSM so that the value-added and non-valueadded approach can be used to determine the energy use and waste. In order to identify the maximum rejection or rework at a workstation, an entropy-based mathematical model is developed and a Lean-Energy-Six Sigma Value Stream Mapping (LESSVSM) is presented. The model can be used in manufacturing at product level where temperature and energy can be measured from input to output. The model has been implemented on a manufacturing system containing four workstations. The proposed LESSVSM model will help to industry to become more sustainable as it can minimize energy and waste in the case of rework and rejection. This study presents a systematic approach which researchers and practitioners can apply for sustainable manufacturing.
