An Investigation of Lean Six Sigma Barriers in Electric Vehicle Assembly

Lean and Six Sigma integration will reduce errors by removing non-value-added activities from the production chain. In the latter scenario, the manufacturing and assembly companies are facing intense competition in the market as the demands of the customers to develop high quality products are increasing day by day. In this situation, the manufacturing and assembly organizations apply strategies that improve the organization and deliver high-quality products within the stipulated time to meet customer demand. Successful implementation of the LSS framework using a combination of DMAIC tools and techniques can reduce errors and eliminate waste while reducing non-value-added activities in the supply chain. The study focuses on developing a solution that uses LSS to overcome identified barriers and reduce non-value-added activities with improved profitability.
