dc.description.abstracten Over the last years, pharmaceutical industries have adopted continuous improvement and operational excellence programs to optimize processes, improve quality and reduce operational costs. Worldwide, Lean Manufacturing (LM) and Six Sigma (SS), as well as the integration of the two methods: Lean Six Sigma (LSS) are the most used approaches in the continuous improvement of industries and services. This work aims to investigate the employment of the Lean Six Sigma methodology in the productive areas of pharmaceutical companies located in Brazil. Interviews were conducted with managers of pharmaceutical industries that apply the approach. The results indicated the greater use of Lean Manufacturing tools compared to Six Sigma and the influence of specific peculiarities of the pharmaceutical industry on the benefits that are achieved with the use of Lean Six Sigma. The approach is considered of great value as it provides substantial benefits to the pharmaceutical industry. It is concluded that the work corroborates to the theoretical and empirical knowledge about the methodology use in the context of Brazilian pharmaceutical industries, as well as contributes to the implementation, reformulation, and improvement of Lean Six Sigma programs in this industrial segment. pt_BR

Mundialmente, Lean Manufacturing (LM) e Six Sigma (SS), bem como a integração dos dois métodos: Lean Six Sigma (LSS), são as abordagens mais utilizadas na melhoria contínua de indústrias e serviços. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a aplicação da metodologia Lean Six Sigma nas áreas produtivas de empresas farmacêuticas localizadas no Brasil. Foram realizadas entrevistas com gestores de indústrias farmacêuticas que aplicam a abordagem. Os resultados indicaram a maior utilização das ferramentas Lean Manufacturing em comparação ao Six Sigma e a influência de peculiaridades específicas da indústria farmacêutica nos benefícios alcançados com o uso do Lean Six Sigma. A abordagem é considerada de grande valor, pois proporciona benefícios substanciais para a indústria farmacêutica. Conclui-se que o trabalho corrobora o conhecimento teórico e empírico sobre o uso da metodologia no contexto das indústrias farmacêuticas brasileiras, bem como contribui para a implementação, reformulação e melhoria de programas Lean Six Sigma neste segmento industrial. pt_BR
