Sumario:The organization of data on the scientific production of a period contributes to the continuity of research and development of a particular area of knowledge. The main objective of this study is, therefore, to investigate the profile of the research, the main themes, trends and gaps of scientific literature on Lean Six Sigma (LSS) between 1999 and 2014. The study was conducted relying on bibliometrics techniques, by consulting the ISI Web of Knowledge and its treatment of data by Sitkis® and Ucinet® software. For the research used "Lean Six Sigma" as an expression key, generating a sample of 84 published articles. At the end of the study were presented descriptive statistics results with the identification of the authors, articles and journals most referenced by scholars worldwide. Besides the main social networks of authors and citations; cloud keywords; and methodological approaches preferred by the authors. This work, then, becomes an important ally in the development of new ideas, concepts and perspectives of approaches to the LSS.
