The impact of the Lean Operations on controlling and rationalizing various costs related to quality through six sigma approach is studied on these companies listed in Dubai Financial Market. To accomplish this, an empirical research methodology has been adopted by conducting a field survey to collect the data, using a structured questionnaire.
