摘要：Implementation failure of Lean Six Sigma in Indian industries has been a big concern. The reasons formany Lean Six Sigma program to fail are cultural, geographical and environmental differences between Indian andforeign industries. As concept and methodology of Lean Manufacturing was developed by Japanese company and SixSigma by American, implementing Lean Six Sigma in India may have adjustment problems. There is a need of such amethodology which is perfectly compatible to Indian industries. This paper presents a conceptual model of Lean SixSigma and points out reasons behind failure of such methodologies due to cultural differences between Indian and othercountries. The proposed conceptual model utilizes Hofstede’s five cultural dimensions to determine and avoid theeffect of national culture at every phase of Lean Six Sigma.
