The Subject

Purpose The purpose of this paper is analysis of Green and Lean Six Sigma, based on the success factors in its use through a well thought-out literature review, is being planned; a framework has been integrated in a productive manner with the Green and Lean and Six Sigma methods so as to incorporate and actualize the execution. Design/methodology/approach The methodology consists of comparative investigation of Green, Lean management and Six Sigma using open written work, essential analysis at data and master experience of the researchers. To achieve this goal, a significant review of the existing literature of the subject area has been done to prepare a framework in view of the critical success factors. A study was arranged and flowed survey from various businesses utilizing John’s Macintosh Project (JMP) statistical software. Findings The paper establishes the distinguishing proof of five success factors with their situational importance and shows that the integrated Green and Lean Six Sigma can drive the organizations to optimize their resources and cost of services or productions. Practical implications A Green and Lean Six Sigma organization would take profits by the use of the proposed framework in an alternate extent of organizations should be dynamic. The organizations should assess their shortcomings and qualities, set needs and perceive objectives for fruitful implementation. Originality/value Suggestions are being made regarding thoughts and methods that would constitute a Green and Lean Six Sigma organization. The suggested framework compare the method for improvements that may occur in organizations while implementation of the Green and Lean management or Six Sigma.

Wyzwaniem dla szkoły wyższej w XXI wieku stają się: jakość usług oraz skuteczność, efektywność i elastyczność działania. W odpowiedzi na nie szkoły dokonują restrukturyzacji systemów zarządzania, wdrażając nowoczesne koncepcje i metody oparte na podejściu procesowym, takie jak: TQM, w tym EFQM, ISO 9001, Lean Management, Six Sigma, reengineering, benchmarking, outsourcing, centra usług wspólnych. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja dotychczasowego dorobku teoretycznego oraz praktycznego z zakresu problematyki wykorzystania koncepcji i metod zarządzania opartych na podejściu procesowym w zarządzaniu szkołami wyższymi. Artykuł jest oparty na analizie literatury przedmiotu oraz badaniach własnych w zakresie wdrażania podejścia procesowego w szkołach wyższych. Efektem jest wskazanie na podstawowe kwestie podejmowane w badaniach, przesłanki i bariery oraz luki badawcze w tym obszarze.

PurposeThis study aims to help quality professionals in following a precise framework that maintains a company’s performance during health pandemics. In many companies, all quality methods seem to produce performance improvement at different levels, but lean management and kaizen were superior in preparing manufacturing companies to have high readiness levels when faced with a health pandemic.Design/methodology/approachWhich quality method can help businesses in performing well during a health pandemic? In order to answer this question and be able to provide specific recommendations toward performing well in all future health pandemics, 500 manufacturing companies were selected and surveyed. The selected companies are known to use at least one quality method such as lean management, ISO 9001, European foundation for quality management (EFQM) and Six Sigma.FindingsEFQM comes second, then Six Sigma and ISO 9001. Lean creates a healthy workplace and enhances worker's health and well-being. This research helps quality professionals in following a precise framework that maintains performance during health pandemics. Whether the company uses lean or other quality methods, the framework helps in achieving pandemic readiness status. The framework is implemented in a company that does not currently use lean. Implementation resulted in significant improvement in pandemic preparedness, corporate performance and employee well-being.Originality/valueAfter the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, all companies should start thinking of creating a workplace that functions well during pandemics. To do that, companies should start including sanitation and health pandemic preparedness as part of their performance measurements. Using lean management and kaizen helps organizations to create a healthy workplace; clean and equipped with smaller number of workers. If organizations choose to use other quality methods, it is okay, but they should enhance these methods with lean tools such as elimination of the seven wastes, gemba, 5S and visual management.

Abstract Technische Entwicklungen wie Datensammler und Analysewerkzeuge ermöglichen neue Optimierungspotenziale in der Produktion. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist das Themenfeld Data Science. Big-Data-Analysen oder Data-Science-Projekte können aus großen Datenmengen Hinweise und Optimierungspotenziale in der Produktion aufdecken. Für die Datenanalyse hat sich in Wissenschaft und Praxis der CRISP-DM-Ansatz durchgesetzt. Dieses Vorgehensmodell bietet eine gute Unterstützung für Data-Science-Projekte mit nützlichen Methoden und Werkzeugen zur Datenanalyse. In der Praxis ist jedoch oft zu beobachten, dass diese Projekte häufig von Datenexperten durchgeführt werden und die Verknüpfung von langjährigem Prozesswissen fehlt. In diesem Beitrag wird als Lösung eine Kombination von Prozessoptimierungsmethoden aus dem Lean-Management- und Six-Sigma-Werkzeugkasten sowie Projektmanagement-Methoden für jede Phase des CRISP-DM-Ansatzes vorgestellt.

Classification Framework

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend previous studies to a hybrid analysis of three business improvement practices of Lean, Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma (LSS) within last two decades and identify the research gaps and focusses in more comprehensive and robust classification framework. Design/methodology/approach A secondary data collection and a literature review were conducted to collect information about peer-reviewed journal articles under six dimensions of a tested classification framework. The frequency and distribution analysis was conducted followed by Pearson’s χ2 test to analyse any relationship between dimensions of framework in order to identify the gap. Findings Despite a relatively great deal of regular research outputs about Six Sigma, Lean and LSS, academic journal articles have been found mainly limited to a few industries, themes and countries. “General manufacturing”, “healthcare”, “automotive” and “electronic industries” as sectors; and “tools and techniques”, “benefits” and “success factors” as key themes have been mostly approached by LSS, Six Sigma and lean management articles. It was also found that there is still a great disparity amongst researchers and journals to publish about these three business improvement practices. Research limitations/implications The research publications for LSS, Six Sigma and lean management should have wider approach towards various manufacturing and service sectors, countries and journal publications. A greater level of research/enterprise activities has been found in relation to LSS and Six Sigma articles compared to lean management articles. Originality/value This research aims to identify the gaps in research publications during last two decades about three major business improvement practices in one package and through more comprehensive robust classification framework and also through comparative analysis.
