When considering lean and six sigma principles in logistics, companies have obtained advantages in terms of cost and quality, which encouraged scientific researches for improvements in the topic. To study the current state of the art on Lean Logistics (LL) and Six Sigma Logistics (SSL), in the national and international level, a systematic review of lean and six sigma logistics were performed, aiming to evaluate theoretical and practical applications, in order to classify the current literature and propose studies to address research opportunities. For this purpose, a review protocol was created to guide and structure the review. As results, it was identified that Transportation has been the main logistic operational drive component in which LL has being applied. The most frequent type of waste considered was Motion and most of the studies were practical applications. Finally, this study found considerable research opportunities for future studies<em>. </em><em></em></p>}, number={4}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Operations & Production Management}, author={Resende de Carvalho, Edra and Elaje Azevedo Simões da Mota, Ana and Maués de Souza Martins, Gabriela and dos Santos Lourenço Bastos, Leonardo and Cristiano Silva Melo, André}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={586–602} }
