20.500.12556/RUP-22705 Integration of Lean and Six Sigma Methodology for Process Improvement 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. Vitko poslovanje (VP) in Šest Sigma (ŠS) sta med najbolj priljubljenimi metodologijami za izboljšanje procesov v organizacijah. Ta prispevek prikazuje, kako je mogoče integrirati metodologiji VP in ŠS. Integracija VP in ŠS lahko izboljša pripomore k izboljšanju procesov, izboljša učinkovitost procesov in s tem tudi uspešnost poslovanja. Kljub dobro znanim prednostim LSS številne organizacije še vedno ne uporabljajo VP, ŠS ali njune integracije. Na podlagi pregleda literature analiziramo in predstavljamo najnovejše ugotovitve in raziskovalne rezultate o uporabi VP in ŠS v organizacijah, vključno z različnimi perspektivami, kot so; kako integrirati VP in ŠS, vpliv na izboljšanje procesov in uspešnost organizacije, v katere faze ŠS projektov je mogoče VP integrirati najučinkoviteje, kaj upoštevati pri uporabi VP in ŠS za doseganje boljše učinkovitosti procesov v organizacijah. Predlogi za učinkovitejšo uporabo LSS v organizacijah vključujejo; integracijo VP in ŠS pri izboljšavah procesov, ki so že v fazi načrtovanja projektov, uporaba VP in ŠS na podlagi razpoložljivih virov in ob podpori najvišjega vodstva. Predstavljene so izkušnje o uporabi VP in ŠS iz Slovenije. Rezultati raziskav temeljijo na analizi sekundarnih virov, pregleda literature in omejenih podatkih o uporabi VP in ŠS ter izkušnjah iz Slovenije. Rezultati te študije so uporabni za raziskovalce, strokovnjake s področja VP in ŠS, vodje v organizacijah pri načrtovanju in določanju prioritet projektov. management Six Sigma (SS) Lean (L) LSS method process integration study management Šest Sigma Vitkost Vitka Šest Sigma metoda integracija študija true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-03-04 09:55:46 2026-03-04 09:55:47 2026-03-06 03:03:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 115-121 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 005.7 270027523 10.26493/978-961-293-471-2 270137603 ZUP_Gosnik_Dusan_2025.pdf ZUP_Gosnik_Dusan_2025.pdf 1 E3D3031690B42A38B52992FC0FA90639 c10356fe40097ddb203e73d1f3a3bba10a2394ff22ba2a05d5d46af444db37de f038dd22-17a7-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33065 https://www.hippocampus.si/ISBN/978-961-293-471-2/83.pdf 0 0747d12c-17a8-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33066 Založba Univerze na Primorskem 0 0 0
