Abstract

Strategies Sustainable Green, Green, Lean and Six Sigma are being increasingly referred to in literature on social, environmental, economical, wastage reduction, and quality concerns. Combinations/mergers of these strategies may be looked at as relatively new research area totalling individual benefits of each strategy, which needs to be explored. This present study is an attempt towards fulfilling this requirement. Combinations of various methodologies have been adopted: literature review; interviews; workshops: brainstorming sessions; questionnaire based survey; and statistical analysis. Recent contributions in the area of mergers of various strategies: sustainable green, green, lean, and Six Sigma have been highlighted. Conceptual framework has been presented on mergers of these strategies. Important enablers, barriers and performance measures have been identified. Ratings have been assigned to the critical success factors (CSFs) relevant to 'Sustainable Green Lean Six Sigma' (SGLS) based upon empirical study and analysis of eighty nine duly completed responses.
