Why is it important?
In first phase, survey based upon 28 questions has been conducted, afterwards in second phase process capability test has been done on considered responses. In first phase with factor analysis it has been concluded that 28 factors listed in the questionnaire (Annexure 1) can be further reduced to four major parameters in which similar kind of factors are grouped together. These major four parameters contributing towards the success of Lean Six Sigma in manufacturing SMEs.
Perspectives
Second phase of this study process capability of various phases of Lean Six Sigma has been checked through CPk. Those phases having CPk value less than 0.5 can be neglected as those phases are not contributing significantly towards the successful implementation of LSS.
