TLDR
In this paper, the authors present an analysis of research on Green Lean Six Sigma focusing on success factors in its implementation through a systematic literature review combined with the lesson learned from authors' experiences and verified by a survey of organizations.Abstract:
Research has shown that implementation of Green and Lean Six Sigma make a positive impact on economic, environmental and social performance. Many organizations have already started to integrate the two approaches. However, evidence suggests that these organizations find their implementation challenging, and in many cases they are unsuccessful. The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of research on Green Lean Six Sigma focusing on success factors in its implementation through a systematic literature review combined with the lesson learned from authors’ experiences and verified by a survey of organizations. The findings have led to the identification of five success factors and their ranking according to the organizations that had implemented this initiative. The findings also have led to development of framework for implementing Green Lean Six Sigma. Both academicians and professionals will find this paper useful, as it explore critical success factors for successful Green Lean Six Sigma implementation and provides a concise description of each success factors that will be very helpful for organizations to understand and implement Green Lean Six Sigma.read more
