The purpose of this paper is to review the existing Lean, Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma implementation models and frameworks and present a new conceptual framework designed specifically for manufacturing small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME). This paper details the thorough review of 20 existing deployment models and frameworks for Lean, Six Sigma, and Lean Six Sigma. The systematic review demonstrates there is a need for a Lean Six Sigma deployment model designed specifically for manufacturing SMEs. By identifying the weaknesses and strengths of the existing frameworks and models, a new conceptual deployment model is presented for manufacturing SMEs. This research demonstrates the requirement for a Lean Six Sigma deployment framework specifically for manufacturing SMEs. The existing models do not acknowledge that SMEs have their own dynamics and characteristics; therefore, all organisations cannot be considered homogeneous in nature. A new conceptual deployment model is presented which is easy to follow and user-friendly in nature. Some of the positive aspects of the new conceptual model that has its antecedents in previous models were applicable. The framework presented provides manufacturing SMEs increased utility by providing a framework for Lean Six Sigma deployment designed specifically for manufacturing SMEs. The framework provides a clear guide for deployment and an overview of the process steps necessary for proper implementation. The model presented is adaptable in nature and promotes the execution of strategy based on the capabilities and skill set of the organisation. The paper presents an original conceptual deployment framework for Lean Six Sigma for manufacturing SMEs. The model demonstrates a robust practical framework for use by SMEs of varying capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. This should increase the efficacy of LSS deployment and add utility to organisations.

本文的目的是回顾现有的精益、六西格码和精益六西格码实施模型和框架，并提出一个专门为制造中小型企业 (SME) 设计的新概念框架。本文详细介绍了精益、六西格码和精益六西格码的 20 种现有部署模型和框架。系统评价表明，需要专门为制造业中小型企业设计的精益六西格码部署模型。通过识别现有框架和模型的弱点和优势，为制造业中小企业提出了一种新的概念部署模型。这项研究证明了专门针对制造业 SME 的精益六西格码部署框架的要求。现有的模式不承认中小企业有自己的动态和特点；因此，不能认为所有组织在性质上都是同质的。提出了一种新的概念部署模型，该模型易于遵循且用户友好。新概念模型的一些积极方面在以前的模型中有其先例是适用的。提出的框架通过提供专为制造业 SME 设计的精益六西格码部署框架，为制造业 SME 提供了更多的效用。该框架为部署提供了清晰的指南，并概述了正确实施所需的流程步骤。提出的模型本质上是适应性强的，并根据组织的能力和技能组合促进战略的执行。本文提出了一个针对制造业中小型企业的精益六西格码的原始概念部署框架。该模型展示了一个强大的实用框架，可供具有不同能力、优势和劣势的中小企业使用。这应该会提高 LSS 部署的效率并为组织增加实用性。
