Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Industrial Engineering.
The intention of this research was to study the application of Six Sigma principles in sustainability assessments for manufacturing cells using a sustainable lean and green strategy with a six sigma approach (SLGS). There are a restricted number of studies that apply lean and green strategy in a six sigma format. However, there is no study that consider a complete sustainable, economic, environmental and social, assessment of manufacturing cells by implementing six sigma approach. This research aims to investigate the application and benefits of conducting SLGS for waste and emission reduction, energy reduction, and productivity improvements. The hypothesis for this research involved investigating the economic, environmental and social benefits of conducting the methodology. In this research, the steps of the new methodology are developed, and the result of the proposed methodology is assessed in a case study. The results of the study indicated that by applying SLGS methodology there will be a reduction in cost and environmental impacts.
