Lean Six Sigma and SMEs: Systematic Literature Review

Session

Management, Business and Economics

Description

The concept of ‘Lean Six Sigma’ as an integrated strategy is still in development: since its inception in 2000, a number of academics have developed an integrated approach, while others have focused on a framework for the successful integration of Lean and Six Sigma (Laureani, A. & Antony, J., 2019). The purpose of this research is to consolidate existing knowledge on the application of Lean Six Sigma in Small and Medium-sized Enterprise’s (SMEs), providing a starting point for researchers and practitioners seeking to implement Lean Six Sigma in Enterprises while providing suggestions for future research. A systematic review of the literature related to LSS and Enterprises was conducted in order to collect, analyze and synthesize useful knowledge about LSS and Enterprise. The findings of the research show that LSS is a widely used methodology and has marked significant successes in those Enterprises where it has been applied responsibly. As also say in their study Albliwi et al., (2015), Lean and Six Sigma has become one of the most popular business strategies for establishing continuous improvements in production, services and public service organizations.
