Abstract
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a powerful methodology that integrates the best of two distinct approaches to business excellence: Lean and Six Sigma. While Six Sigma focuses on the systematic reduction of variation within pro- cesses, the Lean approach aims for business growth through waste elimination and the continuous development of people. Given the advent of I4.0, digitaliza- tion now presents the next frontier of industrial improvement. LSS can be inte- grated with I4.0 to further optimize process efficiency. This study is a systemat- ic literature review on the integration of I4.0 and LSS. We present the benefits, motivations, critical success factors, and challenges with this emerging area of research.
