Abstract. Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a strategy to overcome the problems that occur to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the company through the elimination of variation and waste. efficiency and
effectiveness will ensure the sustainability of the company. Several factors affect the success of LSS
implementation in the company. Therefore, to be successful in LSS implementation, an assessment is needed
to measure the level of LSS readiness (Lean Six Sigma Readiness/LESIRE). This article discusses the
measurement of the readiness level of the plastic industry in Indonesia in the implementation of LSS. In
addition to measuring the level of readiness, this article also discusses what important factors must be
prepared in advance to be ready for LSS implementation. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires
and processed using the fuzzy method. Factors that influence success consist of 5 enablers, 19 criteria, and
55 attributes. The results showed that the industry studied was categorized as Almost Ready. Attributes
that need to be improved to increase LSS readiness are company initiatives in development, learning
processes in development, improving workforce skills, customer-focused organizations or companies,
strategic and visionary leadership, responsibility, authority and communication, planning, feedback loop
design, eliminating waste, high impact of customer satisfaction, and technology improvement.

LC1 (0.72, 0.83, 0.90) (5.82, 6.83, 7.82) = 9.71
LC2 (0.76, 0.86, 0.93) (6.23, 7.23, 8.23)
Similarly, other readiness levels can be determined from
Euclidean distance, including:
LC3 (0.75, 0.84, 0.92) (5.88, 6.88, 7.87)
LC4 (0.74, 0.84, 0.92) (6.20, 7.18, 8.17)
