Summary: In the past few decades, manufacturing industries have been forced to focus on sustainability alongside operational efficiency due to a competitive landscape, learned customers, and rigorous regulations. This study developed a systematic Green Lean Six Sigma (GLSS) framework that aims to improve operational efficiency while considering environmental and social sustainability. The framework was tested in a leading manufacturing company and incorporates different tools of the Green paradigm, Lean, and Six Sigma, from problem identification and assessment to the implementation of measures. Lifecycle assessment and social lifecycle assessment were used to evaluate environmental and societal performance. The GLSS framework, with its sustainability focus, enhances environmental capability, process performance, and provides a new perspective for researchers and practitioners in achieving higher sustainability dynamics in GLSS projects.
