Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The implementation of Lean Six Sigma methodologies in manufacturing companies has gained significant attention in recent years due to its proven ability to enhance productivity and reduce waste. This study explores the application of Lean Six Sigma in a manufacturing company with the aim of improving operational efficiency and overall performance. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the impact of Lean Six Sigma implementation on productivity enhancement and waste reduction within the manufacturing processes. Chapter One provides an introduction to the study, including the background of the research, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review on Lean Six Sigma methodologies, productivity improvement strategies, waste reduction techniques, and previous studies related to the topic. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology adopted for this study, including research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The chapter also discusses the research framework, variables, and hypotheses tested to achieve the research objectives. In Chapter Four, the findings of the study are presented and analyzed in detail. The results of the Lean Six Sigma implementation on productivity improvement and waste reduction in the manufacturing company are discussed, along with key insights and practical implications. The discussion also highlights the challenges faced during the implementation process and provides recommendations for future research and practice. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the research, emphasizing the key findings, implications, and contributions of the study. The conclusion also reflects on the significance of Lean Six Sigma implementation in manufacturing companies and provides suggestions for further research in this area. Overall, this research contributes to the body of knowledge on Lean Six Sigma methodologies and their application in enhancing productivity and reducing waste in manufacturing operations.
