Abstract

Lean manufacturing (LM) and Six sigma (SS) are two methods of continuous improvement that became essential in several industrial sectors. These approaches interest the researchers and also the business managers. Thus, LM and SS success that can be involved simultaneously and systematically is based on a set of Critical Success Factors (CSF). First, we extracted the CSFs discussed in the literature. Then, these CSFs have been projected to those used in the Moroccan automotive industry. For this purpose, we adopted a qualitative research methodology using structured interviews with 12 experts from the Moroccan automobile industry. Through this study, LM and SS implementing characteristics were revealed. Thus, we performed, based on CSF importance and maturity, a bi-dimensional scan that describe Lean manufacturing (LM) and Six sigma (SS) implementation within Moroccan automotive industry.
