| Abstract: | Lean (L) and Six Sigma (SS) are among the most popular process improvement methodologies in organisations. This research reveals, how can L and SS methodologies be integrated. Integration of L and SS can improve outcome of process improvement initiatives, improve process efficiency and improve also thus related organisational performance. L enables SS speed such as faster cycles of experimentation and learning and on the other hand SS enables L quality such as less defects and less time for rework. Despite well-known benefits of LSS, many organisations are still not using LSS. Based on literature review we analyse and present the latest findings and research results about LSS use in organisations including various perspectives such as; how to integrate L and SS, impact on process improvement and organisation performance, in which stages of SS projects can L be integrated the most efficiently, what to consider at LSS use to achieve better process efficiency in organisations. Suggestions for more efficient LSS use in organisations include; interaction of L and SS at process improvement actions already in the project planning phase, the use of LLS based on an available resources and top management support. Experiences about LSS use from organisations Slovenia are presented. Research results dependent on the secondary literature review and limited data about LSS use and experiences from Slovenia. The results of this study have a great value to researchers, LSS practitioners, managers in organisations during planning and scheduling LSS projects. |
