When all studies have been examined, the number recorded in the respective sustainability pillar for the Six Sigma application is counted and added to the total. Step 3 examines studies to determine whether they have addressed the sustainability pillars Economic, Social, and Environment using L S S application in agribusiness. Where there is evidence to show support for any of the sustainability pillars, the relevant sustainability pillar or pillars are recorded for the L S S application. When all studies have been examined, the number recorded in the respective sustainability pillar for the L S S application is counted and added to the total.Steps to identify the total number of studies for different applications of Lean, Six Sigma and LSS that addressed sustainability pillars
