Transformative Lean Six Sigma Techniques for the Quality 5.0 Paradigm

In the shift from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0, where human-machine collaboration, personalization, and sustainability are prioritized, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) plays a critical role in shaping efficient and adaptive production systems. By integrating emerging technologies like blockchain, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous robots, LSS evolves to meet the complex demands of modern industries. This transformation not only enhances operational excellence but also supports smarter decision-making, greater transparency, and reduced waste. As a result, sectors are seeking improvements in customization, worker empowerment, and overall system resilience. The impact is a more sustainable and human-centric industrial future. Transformative Lean Six Sigma Techniques for the Quality 5.0 Paradigm explores the integration of LSS with the emerging framework of Industry 5.0. It additionally emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable and human-centric approaches within the LSS framework. Covering topics such as autonomous robots, ethical leadership, and sustainability, this book is an excellent resource for industry professionals, process improvement specialists, quality managers, operations leaders, researchers, academicians, and more.
