摘要

Purposeud?udThe purpose of this paper is to focus on three fundamental human-related behaviourudfactors associated with Lean Six Sigma (LSS) projects in German manufacturing small-and medium-udsized enterprises (SMEs) on the readiness of people (managers and their staff) to commence LSSudprojects. These are core personal competence, strategic vision of the people and the organisationaludculture of the specific organisation.udDesign/methodology/approachud?udBased on a thorough review of the academic literature a set ofudhypotheses were constructed to examine the level of association between peopleud?uds competence, visionudand culture with LSS readiness within SMEs. This was done using correlation and regression analysis.udData collection were carried out in seven different German manufacturing SMEs involved in aerospaceudsupply and agro-food manufacturing using a survey instrument.udFindingsud?udIt was found that there is a strong positive association between the core competence ofudpeople and organisational culture with readiness for commencing LSS in the manufacturing SMEsudstudied. The core values of people, education level and the vision of making continuous qualityudimprovement were identified as key variables in promoting LSS readiness in these manufacturingudSMEs. This study indicates that theseud?udsofterud?udvariables can be essential to successful LSSudimplementation and need to be explored further before undertaking the process.udPractical implicationsud?udFrom the perspective of the implementers of LSS the results of thisudresearch could be of interest to different manufacturing SMEs intending to embark upon an LSSudjourney as it highlights the significance of human-related behavioural factors in the process. SMEudorganisations may consider carrying out development or training with their managers and employeesudaround personal and organisational values, addressing core competence and strengtheningudorganisational culture in order to facilitate LSS readiness and enhance the prospect of its success.udOriginality/valueud?udIt would appear that this LSS research has not been carried out within theudGerman manufacturing SME context before and although discrete in nature has surfaced the ?softer? variables of core competence of staff and organisational culture as important readiness issues toudaddress when undertaking LSS. This integrated approach of human behavioural factors,udorganisational culture, LSS and manufacturing SMEs demonstrates the originality of the research.
