Abstract

Nowadays by virtue of current economic crisis, an ever-increasing number of organisations are looking for management systems that enable them to make their processes flawless, enhance their product quality and/or service characteristics, reduce costs, improve profitability and customer satisfaction. Research has featured a requirement for a specific and feasible integration of Lean with Six Sigma to develop Lean Six Sigma culture in the manufacturing sector by providing a roadmap to manage and sustain change. Many issues have been analysed in this paper and important themes have been cited which includes: execution, critical success factors, benefits and obstacles of Lean Six Sigma deployment. The analysis of 127 articles from 1989 to 2017 has resulted in significant benefits. Hence, this research could provide valuable insights to practitioners.
