Climate change is a fact. Global warming of the planet is a result of the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the cause of serious sustainability issues. The objective of this article is to highlight the potential of the Six Sigma methodology to reduce energy consumption in the productive sphere, with consequential reductions in pollutant emissions. We present a systematic literature review that highlights the increasing interest from academics and practitioners in using quality management philosophies for addressing sustainability issues. From the analysis carried out, it is clear that Lean is being used in this regard but the potential of Six Sigma is not being exploited. Taking advantage of the best of both approaches (Lean Six Sigma) can contribute to reducing energy consumption in industrial processes and contribute to mitigating the impacts of those processes on climate change. Moreover, through keyword analysis, we found that the three dimensions of sustainability are currently gaining importance in the literature, when previously only the economic pillar was relevant. Finally, we raise some questions for reflection for academics but also for practitioners, as the problem is a global problem that should be faced by all the community.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo agrupar las distintas ocupaciones laborales en diversas categorías en función de la semejanza en los requisitos que presenta cada ocupación en cuanto a competencias lingüísticas. Para ello, se utilizan los datos para las ocupaciones definidas en la O’Net-SOC-2010 para EE.UU. en 2015. Se consideran tres clasificaciones, en función del nivel de desagregación que presentan los datos de O’Net. El análisis se efectúa mediante redes neuronales artificiales, en concreto, los mapas autoorganizativos de Kohonen (SOM). Se pretende así analizar si el nivel de desagregación de las ocupaciones influye en la clasificación de dichas ocupaciones en función del nivel requerido de competencias lingüísticas. La aportación que se realiza es novedosa, ya que, hasta donde conocemos, no existe ningún trabajo previo que utilice los SOM para la clasificación de las ocupaciones laborales considerando las competencias lingüísticas requeridas. Dicho análisis puede ayudar a los investigadores sociales en el estudio del impacto e influencia que presentan los componentes lingüís- ticos del trabajo en la productividad laboral, la empleabilidad de los trabajadores, los resultados empresariales y la generación de ventajas competitivas basadas en el lenguaje, entre otras.

Industrial clusters try to exploit the effect of external economies and joint actions that come from the collaboration between their agents. But in order that these effects arise it is needed close cooperation partnerships between the agents in the industrial cluster, which could improve competitiveness. It’s obvious, therefore, that analyzing which are the relationships between the agents in the industrial cluster is critical to make strategic decisions that promote and improve the competitiveness of the industrial cluster. This paper proposes a methodology based on obtaining a fuzzy relation from which, applying Moore’s closure in an uncertain situation, we can identify subrelations that group industrial cluster agents depending on their degree of affinity based on the intensity of their relationships.
