Abstract

Green Lean Six Sigma is an inclusive approach, leads to optimum utilization of resources, reduces rejection and provides a path for sustainable development. In such an approach, decision-making becomes difficult in terms of selecting and prioritizing the different facets that incorporate sustainability in the system. The present research deals with the prioritization of Green Lean Six Sigma enablers through a novel decision-making approach Best Worst Method in a manufacturing organization. The present method was selected for prioritization as it provides the highly reliable results due to its high consistency; fewer pairwise comparisons (2n – 3) as compared to another matrix-based multiple-criteria decision-making methods use n(n – 1)/2 comparisons. The study depicts that the top three ranked enablers are organizational readiness for Green Lean Six Sigma measures together with competence for green product and process, top management commitment toward sustainable performance improvement and the integration of GLS with the business objectives with weights 0.4055, 0.1745 and 0.1288, respectively. Moreover, screened enablers’ rank was further validated through decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory, analytical hierarchy process and preference ranking organization method for enrichment of evaluations methods. The practitioners of the concerned industry will be assisted through the selection of most prominent enablers and evolving deliberate initiatives through primarily focusing on prominent enablers for the successful adoption of Green Lean Six Sigma.

使用最佳最差方法调查与制造业中实施绿色精益六西格码相关的促成因素

摘要

绿色精益六西格码是一种包容性方法，可导致资源的最佳利用，减少废品率并提供可持续发展的途径。在这种方法中，就选择和优先考虑将可持续性纳入系统的不同方面而言，决策变得困难。本研究通过制造组织中一种新颖的决策方法“最佳最差方法”，对“绿色精益六西格码”促成因素的优先级进行了处理。选择本方法进行优先级排序是因为它具有较高的一致性，因此可提供高度可靠的结果。更少的成对比较（2 Ñ 相比于另一个基于矩阵的多标准决策方法使用- 3）ñ（Ñ – 1）/ 2个比较。研究表明，排名前三的推动因素是组织对绿色精益六西格玛指标的准备程度，绿色产品和流程的能力，最高管理层对可持续绩效改善的承诺以及GLS与权重为0.4055、0.1745和0.1288的业务目标的整合， 分别。此外，通过决策试验和评估实验室，层次分析法和偏好排序组织方法进一步验证了筛选的支持者的等级，以丰富评估方法。有关行业的从业人员将通过选择最杰出的推动者和不断发展的深思熟虑的举措得到协助，主要是着眼于成功采用绿色精益六西格码的杰出推动者。
