N2 - The purpose of this research is to explore the potential impact of Lean Six Sigma practices on supply chain resilience proposing a conceptual framework. A content analysis method was used to identify themes from the interview data conducted with (n = 21) participants who are involved within the healthcare sector. The first-order coding of interview data performed by the researchers with inter-reliability (k = 0.74) identified IT management, big data analytics, risk management, efficient process management, process reconfiguration and disruption readiness as the emerging themes. The second-order coding of interview data with inter-reliability (k = 0.84) analysed the relationship between the first-order themes exploring the impact of Lean Six Sigma practices on building supply chain resilience. As a result, a framework was developed for achieving resilience in the supply chain through the application of six sigma practices.
