This study explores success factors associated to process quality in the food industry based on Lean Six
Sigma (LSS), which consists of a useful methodology that leads to improvements of both efficiency and productivity of
industrial processes. The objective was to conduct an exhaustive literature review and a meta-analytical summary. Studies
published between 2008 and 2017 were included. In order to emphasize the chronological evolution of LSS in this field,
two periods of 5 years each were considered. Therefore, a total of 110 works was analyzed and 22 of the most frequently
mentioned factors were considered as the main success factors. Finally, a classification of the selected factors in three
groups was proposed: those that increased, decreased and remained constant in the two periods considered.
