Track: Business Management

Abstract

The textile industry keeps on growing over time. This development has led to increasingly fierce and fast competition in the industry. Challenges keep on increasing and the products quality must continue to improve so as not to lose to the competitors. One of the methods and strategies recommended to be used in the textile industry for increasing profits and improving efficiency is Lean Six Sigma. The research methodology used for this study was a systematic literature review. To conduct the research, the researcher has used 46 literatures that have been filtered and adapted to the research topic. From the research that has been done, the researchers found that Lean Six Sigma can be successfully applied by companies in the textile industry, especially those that have problems with a high defect rate. In order to increase the likelihood of a Lean Six Sigma implementation's success, it is imperative to pay attention to the critical success factors. Several of the most significant factors for the success are the top management commitment, sufficient training about Lean Six Sigma, enough funds, and the acceptance or adaptation of Lean Six Sigma in the company’s culture. If successfully implemented, the company may get effects, such as increasing its product quality, reducing average damage or products defect, increasing the efficiency of the process, reducing, or saving costs in the processes of the company, and so on.
