While a lot of companies are seeking strategies to either promote corporation image or stimulate employees’ work passion, most of research and guidelines are focusing on how to measure the sustainability based on the cases from big firms. Most of manufacturing firms are medium and small sized, they are searching for a comprehensive and systematical way to implement sustainability practice step by step without using very experienced professionals. This thesis research is supplying a systematic framework for firms to achieve sustainability in manufacturing environment with the widely used problem solving tool Six Sigma. Inexperienced professionals will be able to implement the sustainability practice from defining problems to achieving leadership in sustainability.
