TL;DR: In this paper, a ranking and prioritization of Lean Six Sigma improvement projects is presented. And the results of this study showed that improvement project #5 had highest significance and it was placed at the first priority.
Abstract: In today's competitive world, the number of organisations using Lean Six Sigma techniques is increasing widely. The Six Sigma concept was originally developed to improve the efficiency and quality of manufactured products, but is now widely used by financial institutions, hospitals, retailers and other service industries. One of the most important issues in this regard is the selection of Six Sigma improvement projects. The purpose of this paper is to rank and prioritise the Lean Six Sigma improvement projects by introducing a method which is a combination of fuzzy best-worst and Vikor methods. A total of ten improvement projects were selected. The weights of the criteria were obtained by using the fuzzy best-worst method and the Lean Six Sigma improvement projects were ranking by using the Vikor method. The results of this study showed that improvement project #5 had highest significance and it was placed at the first priority.

TL;DR: Key successful factors of Lean Six Sigma—focusing on the system, establishing culture, focusing on process, supporting by leadership and choosing the right method and tool, are analyzed.
Abstract: The production modes of Lean Production and Six Sigma are analyzedThe advantages and disadvantages of the two modes are pointed out by comparisonThe conception of Lean Six Sigma is exploredNecessities and feasibilities of Lean Six Sigma are pointed outKey successful factors of Lean Six Sigma—focusing on the system,establishing culture,focusing on process,supported by leadership and choosing the right method and tool,are analyzedImprovement activities in Lean Six Sigma system are divided into 2 categories—— Lean Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma projectFor the simple problems,lean production can be used directlyFor the complex problems,the procedure of DMAICⅡ and its detail steps,tools in each stage are put forward

TL;DR: In this article, a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) project management improvement model supported by the DMAIC cycle and integrating an enlarged and adapted set of statistical tools for quality improvements in production involved processes is proposed.
Abstract: Currently more and more companies search for management methodologies that allow them to improve their products and/or service characteristics, perfect their processes, decrease costs, improve the capital’s profitability and costumers’ satisfaction, for this Lean Six Sigma methodology have an important tool. The present article proposes a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) project management improvement model supported by the DMAIC cycle and integrating an enlarged and adapted set of statistical tools for quality improvements in production involved processes. The aim of Lean six sigma is defining, analyzing, correcting and improving the variables, which affect the quality of production process in order to decrease the number of defects and the failures and to propose the improvement means for the processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the considerations for the implementation of the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology in small and medium-sized enterprises and present a maturity indicator to LSS.
Abstract: This article describes the considerations for the implementation of the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology in small and medium-sized enterprises. Pilot research was conducted in Polish and French SMEs (nine Polish and nine French enterprises from the service and production sectors) referring to the context of the implementation and application of the Lean Six Sigma concept. The studies led to the identification of the motives, needs, expectations, concerns and experiences of these companies and helped to develop criteria assessing the maturity of a smaller enterprise to conduct Lean Six Sigma projects. As one of the results of the study, a maturity indicator to LSS has been developed and presented in this paper. The index is a part of the original comprehensive methodology of the Lean Six Sigma implementation dedicated to the SME sector (LSS Plutus methodology). The indicator allows such projects to be matched to the real needs and preparedness of any small or medium-sized organization.
