Public Management Model with a Sustainable Development Approach Based on Lean Six Sigma: Formalization of Small-Scale and Artisanal Mining in Peru

Abstract

Accordingly, shared knowledge has enabled the population to focus on this area, the majority of which comprise small-scale informal miners. The government and population must be able to control the informal extraction of minerals and its resulting environmental and social impacts. As such, this study aims to increase the number of formalized small-scale and artisanal miners in accordance with Peruvian regulations. The primary motive is to create a knowledge model based on managing the formalization of small-scale miners. Through this approach, this study contributes to sustainable development in cooperation with the state for informal miners and the neighboring communities. A public management model with a sustainable development approach based on the Six Sigma methodology is proposed to increase the formalization of artisanal miners. Through this methodology, the revision and documentation of the formalization process in the mining sector has improved by 29.3%.
