This paper deals with certain specific questions from the questionnaire namely to understand the adoption and implementation of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) tools and techniques in Indian SMEs working in the furniture, footwear, food processing, and steel manufacturing industries and to study organizational factors like top management commitment, resource allocation, and organizational culture that impact the success of LSS practices in specified industries. The research further emphasized that according to a survey 84% of the organisations are reporting that they have adopted the tools and methodologies of Lean Six Sigma, which have gained widespread recognition to the quality programs of today.
