Purpose This study aims to apply a Lean Six Sigma framework to support continuous improvement in the maritime industry (shipbuilding, logistics services and shipping companies) during COVID-19 pandemics. By applying the concepts of Lean Six Sigma and supply chain resilience, the most suitable continuous improvement method for the maritime industry is developed to maintain a resilient supply chain during COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach A specific shipbuilding, logistics services and shipping company in Indonesia is chosen as the research object. The Lean Six Sigma framework reveals the wastes through the supply chain resilience concept, and implements internal business processes to maintain optimal system performance. Findings The paper identifies important implementation aspects in applying Lean Six Sigma to shipbuilding, logistics services and shipping. The DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control) approach is applied to achieve supply chain resilience. Resilient measures are generated for the case companies to maximize performance during the pandemics. Practical implications This paper provides a new insight for integrating Lean Six Sigma and resilience strategies in the maritime industry during COVID-19 disruptions. The authors provide some insights to sustain the performance of the maritime industries under study. Originality/value This study is part of the first research in the maritime industry that focuses on continuous improvement during COVID-19 using Lean Six Sigma and supply chain resilience.

Due to the globalization of economy, Maritime logistics play a very important role in the field of logistics. The reason for working in this framework is to determine the service capabilities of maritime logistics and to identify the relationships between these capabilities and the company's performance. For these purposes, research models and hypotheses have been developed based on the literature of business managment, logistics and maritime business managment. The research model and hypotheses have been analyzed using the data obtained from the survey of 377 managers of maritime transport companies, who operate freight forwarders in Turkey. According to the research findings, it was found that there is a significant relationship between maritime logistics service capabilities and financial and customer service performance. In addition, it has been revealed that the ability of information intergration from maritime logistics service capabilities has the greatest influence on financial and customer service performance, and also it has become clear that the speed and reliability of maritime logistics service capabilities have no effect on financial and customer service performance.

“…Bu bilgiler ışığında aşağıdaki hipotezler geliştirilmiştir. Müşterilerin ihtiyaç ve beklentilerindeki değişimlere cevap verebilme özelliği olarak ifade edilen esneklik yeteneği, işletmelerin etkililik gelişimi ve etkinliği artırma ile beklenmedik durumlara karşı daha planlı olma isteğinden ortaya çıkmıştır ve deniz ulaştırmasının, küresel tedarik zincirinin bir temel bileşeni olarak devam etmesini stratejik açıdan sağlar (Mason ve Nair, 2013). Deniz ulaştırma lojistiğinde esneklik yeteneği sayesinde, taşıtanın, gönderenin veya yük ilgilisinin; yükün taşınması, yüklenmesi, boşaltılması veya geminin seferiyle ilgili daha önce belirtilmemiş isteklerine cevap verebilme ya da müşteriye özgü çözümler üretebilme becerileri kazanılır.…”

Ekonominin küreselleşmesi nedeniyle, deniz ulaştırma lojistiği, lojistik alanında çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çerçevede çalışmanın amacı, deniz ulaştırma lojistiği hizmet yeteneklerinin belirlenmesi, bu yetenekler ile firma performansı arasındaki nedensel ilişkileri ortaya çıkartılmasıdır. Bu amaçlara yönelik olarak, işletme yönetimi, lojistik ve denizcilik işletmeleri yönetimi literatürüne dayandırılarak araştırma modeli ve hipotezler geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma modeli ve hipotezler, Türkiye'de faaliyet gösteren ve ticaret gemileriyle yük taşımacılığı yapan, deniz ulaştırma işletmelerinin 377 yöneticisinden anket yoluyla elde edilen veriler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.Araştırma bulgularına göre, deniz ulaştırma lojistik hizmet yetenekleri ile finansal ve müşteri hizmetleri performansı arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca deniz ulaştırma lojistik hizmet yeteneklerinden bilgi entegrasyon yeteneğinin finansal ve müşteri hizmetleri performansı üzerinde en fazla etkiye sahip yetenek olduğu, bunun yanı sıra deniz ulaştırma lojistik hizmet yeteneklerinden hız ve güvenilirlik yeteneğinin, finansal ve müşteri hizmetleri performansı üzerinde bir etkisinin olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
