“…Antony and Banuelas (2002) concluded that the top three CSF are: management involvement and commitment, understanding of LSS methodology, linking it with business strategy. Alhuraish et al (2016) compared CSF for Lean Management and Six Sigma separately and concluded that both systems although have common success factors, they are not identical. Habidin and Yusof (2013) reported CSF for LSS in the Malaysian auto industry.…”

“…When unwanted variation is removed, and natural variation is predictable, the outcome can be planned with certainty. It helps in reducing the cost of poor quality, improving customer satisfaction, gaining competitive advantage, increasing savings and enhancing stakeholder value (Aital et al , 2017; Alhuraish et al , 2016; Antony and Banuelas, 2002; Muraliraj et al , 2018; Singh and Rathi, 2019; Yadav et al , 2020).…”

Purpose Critical success factors (CSF) for lean six sigma (LSS) using quality 4.0 are not researched so far. This study aims to bridge this gap. It also validates CSF already identified for LSS under conventional technologies. Design methodology approach Empirical research using the questionnaire method is conducted. Construct of the questionnaire is checked using Cronbach’s alpha and responses received are analysed using t-test and exploratory factor analysis. Findings In total, 20 factors are evaluated for LSS success. It includes 7 factors related to quality 4.0 technologies and 13 related to the conventional set-up. All 7 quality 4.0 related factors were found critical; whereas, under traditional set-up, 11 factors out of 13 were found critical. Practical implications The study will help enterprises in the fast and effective adoption of quality 4.0 and seamless integration with LSS. The post-Covid-19 business scenario is expected to be information technology focussed. The findings of this study will be useful in these circumstances. Consultants and practitioners can prioritise their efforts based on newly identified CSF. The new revelation about CSF for LSS in quality 4.0 enriches theory as well. Social implications Developing skills based on newly identified CSF will help people in remaining employable in the era of automation, robotics and artificial intelligence which is otherwise ill-famed for destroying jobs. Originality value CSF for LSS using quality 4.0 is a new contribution. It differentiates CSF established earlier for conventional technologies. Moreover, many CSF are common for LSS and industry 4.0, therefore this study will also help in smoother adoption of industry 4.0/quality 4.0 in organisations.

“…Among the continuous improvement projects outlining the critical success factors are those for the Six Sigma [9]- [11]. In addition, the CSF for Lean Six Sigma have been discussed by [7], [12]- [14]; for Kaizen, by [15], [16]; for Total Quality Management (TQM), by [17]- [20]; for Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), by [21]; for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), by [4]; and for Lean Manufacturing (LM), by [22]- [25]. Identifying the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for any continuous improvement initiative is important as it allows organizations to focus on such factors to ensure success [26].…”

This research was carried out in the Mexican manufacturing industry, the second most important activity in the country's industrial sector, specifically in the transportation equipment manufacturing subsector, which generates 19% of the jobs in this industry. Thus, it is important to develop improvement strategies to strengthen the sector's competitiveness. Currently, Lean Manufacturing projects are considered the most important strategy for manufacturing companies to achieve world-class performance. However, such projects yield different results, depending on the level of Critical Success Factor (CSFs) implementation during their development. This work proposes the design and validation of an instrument to evaluate the implementation of CSFs during the project-improvement phase in the production of transportation equipment in the Mexican manufacturing industry. The instrument is made up of six CSFs selected from the reviewed literature on Lean Manufacturing methodology and improvement projects and measured through 31 items. The instrument was verified and empirically validated through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis, using the SPSS Amos ® software program and a sample of 240 valid surveys applied to experienced developers of Lean Manufacturing improvement projects. The results show that the proposed instrument holds enough statistical validity to be used by the companies in the sector in order to assess the impact of critical success factors on the development of improvement projects. Additionally, the survey can help companies to identify areas of opportunity by adopting the Lean Manufacturing methodology and fit models, to assess the interaction of the FCEs in achieving the expected results of improvement projects. INDEX TERMS Critical success factors, lean manufacturing, confirmatory factor analysis, construct validation, mexican manufacturing industry, improvement projects.

“…Other than that, the study on industry 4.0 is currently mainly focused on the technical and production areas but seldom look into the impact towards people (Feng, 2016). (Alhuraish, Robledo, & Kobi, 2014;Poksinska, Swartling, & Drotz, 2013) have identified that leadership are the most critical key factor during the change process. Besides that, (Tunçer, 2011) has also stated that, in order for an organization to adapt to changes, it is necessary for it to adopt an effective leadership approach.…”

This research is carried out to examine the influences of blue ocean leadership styles on emotional intelligence. A stratified random sampling technique is used to identify the sample for this study. Questionnaire is distributed to 120 middle to top level leaders from the selected government link companies (GLCs) which is listed in the Government Link Transformation Programme (GLTP). A partial least square structural model (PLS-SEM) approach is used to analyses the data for this study. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between blue ocean leadership style and emotional intelligence. This study would give practical implications where it could inform leaders that they need to have high emotional intelligence in order to lead the organization. This study also contributes to new knowledge by pointing to the leadership role of accurate attributions, where each attribution can lead to enhancing leader effectiveness.
