Nowadays, the automotive industries seek to consider increasingly higher standards of competitiveness.

For that, the objective of this work is to carry out a literature review on the implementation of Lean Six Sigma in the automotive industry. The databases adopted for this research were Web of Science and Google Scholar, resulting in 69 selected articles. The results indicated that the implementation of this methodology contributes to the continuous improvement process and problem-solving in the automotive branch.
