Roadmap for integration of Lean Six Sigma methodology with ISO 9001:2015 QMS standard

In the present day competitive world practitioners and researchers are attempting to integrate different quality and management concepts to achieve profitability and sustain in the market. One such integration is Lean Six Sigma methodology. Similar to this effort, few researchers have integrated Lean Six Sigma methodology with the ISO 9001 QMS standard. There does not exist any noteworthy attempt made by the researchers to integrate Lean Six Sigma methodology with the ISO 9001:2015 QMS. In this paper this research gap is explored and revealed by conducting literature review. Further, the requirements of Lean Six Sigma methodology are explored and a roadmap for implementation of Lean Six Sigma methodology through ISO 9001:2015 QMS has been contributed in this research paper.
