“…, 2019), the authors believe that, before carrying out such projects, a scientifically validated approach to generation and selection of six sigma projects should be used by companies (e.g. Condé and Martens, 2020). Studies should be performed to verify the relationship between the characteristics of the approaches to generate and select six sigma projects and the success of the six sigma projects as well as the success of the LSS or Six Sigma initiative itself.…”

PurposeCompetitive pressures force companies to seek solutions to eliminate wastes while improving product quality. Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has been considered one of the most effective approaches for business transformation. This article aims to present an empirical case study where LSS and Define, Measure–Analyze–Improve–Control (DMAIC) methodologies are applied to reduce defects in a car parts manufacturer.Design/methodology/approachThe study follows the DMAIC methodology. Design of experiments and hypothesis testing were applied in a single case study.FindingsThe main defects and the main factors that cause defective parts were indicated for die-casting and machining processes. Solutions implemented reduced the defect incidence from a chronically high level to an acceptable one. The sigma level rose from 3.4 s to 4 s sustainably.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to a single case study, without intention of generalizing the results to other types of industries.Practical implicationsThis paper can be a useful guide of how to use DMAIC Six Sigma approach to defect reduction and can be applied in many sectors.Social implicationsThis study offers the knowledge on how to apply the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology, reducing the dependence on specialization courses.Originality/valueThis study describes in detail the process used in a structured improvement exercise including sigma-level calculation, factorial experiments and hypothesis tests – a set of techniques still poorly combined in the literature.

“…The popularity of systematic reviews is now well recognised in a range of scholarly fields and disciplines including project management (Geraldi et al 2011;Petro et al 2019;Williams et al 2019;Condé and Martens 2020;Testorelli et al 2020;Cantarelli and Genovese 2021;Dallasega et al 2021) and operations management (Lightfoot et al 2013;Thomé et al 2016;Glas et al 2018;Bagni et al 2021;Zhou et al 2021). Systematic reviews entails undertaking two distinct procedures (Easterby-Smith et al 2012, p. 108).…”

Set within the context of developing countries, we conduct a state of the art systematic review of project-focused, public-private partnership literature published between 1997 and 2021. The outcome of this review provides critical insight into trends in publication volume over time, types of projects addressed, chosen research methods, major research themes identified and their variances, but also identifies the critical challenges facing PPP projects in developing countries. More specifically, we find that for PPP projects in developing countries, the three most commonly reported challenges were 'Appropriate risk allocation and risk-sharing', 'Political support', and 'The private sector's financial strength'. We also find that in developing countries, factors such as 'Compatibility and complementary skills among key parties', 'Competitive procurement process', 'Democracy', 'Efficient approval processes', 'Favourable legal framework', and 'Transparent and efficient procurement' are contingent problems associated with the use of PPP in construction project delivery. The main contribution of this study resides in the detailed identification, evaluation and classification of the literature. This taxonomy provides a detailed overview and evaluation of existing literature; providing for more comprehensive appreciation of PPP.

“…Human Resource Management is a human labour problem that is organized according to the order of its functions, to be effective and efficient in realizing the objectives of the office, employees and society (Ahn & Huang, 2020;Bianchi et al, 2020;Gulzar et al, 2020;Halliru et al, 2020;Wolff et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2020). Employees are planners and actors who always play an active role in every company's activity (Ahmad & Chowdhury, 2020;Choudhury et al, 2020;Condé & Martens, 2020;Cooke et al, 2020;Oluwatayo & Adetoro, 2020;Xiao et al, 2020). Stated personnel management is a science to carry out, among others: Planning, Organizing and Controlling so that the effectiveness and function of personnel can be improved as much as possible in achieving goals (Ahmad & Chowdhury, 2020;Choudhury et al, 2020;Condé & Martens, 2020;Cooke et al, 2020;Oluwatayo & Adetoro, 2020;Xiao et al, 2020).…”

Objective: This paper aims to test and evaluate the Effect of Discipline And Work Environment on Employee Productivity of state-owned public bodies.Design/methodology/approach: This paper uses a quantitative approach using a survey approach. The survey is a study conducted on the employee population of state-owned public agency companies, samples taken from the employee population of state-owned public agency companies to find events related to discipline variables and work environments that can affect employee productivity variables, to analise the influence between discipline variables and the work environment on employee productivity variables using a statistic regression approach. This method is used to explain the influence of discipline variables and work environment on employee productivity variables. This approach is simply to provide a description and test the influence between discipline variables and the work environment on employee productivity variables that can be known how much the influence of discipline variables and work environment on employee productivity variables.Findings: The findings of this study explain that discipline has an influence on the productivity of employees of publicly owned companies, the work environment has an influence on the productivity of employees of publicly owned companies, while together discipline and work environment have an influence on the productivity of employees of publicly owned companies.Practical Implications: The results of the study are recommended for employees to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the performance of state-owned public bodies.Originality: Previous research conducted to test the influence of discipline and work environment on the productivity of employees of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the findings concluded that discipline and work environment have an influence on the work productivity of employees of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research object of research on publicly owned companies owned by the state.
