dc.description.abstractThis pharmaceutical packaging design project integrates Lean Six Sigma principles and industrial automation to optimize a manual intensive process. Focused on loading/unloading, visual inspection, and palletizing, the improvements include automated systems, such as cameras for inspections and robotic lifts for loading and palletizing. The study reveals a substantial reduction in cycle time, from 91 to 72 minutes, showcasing a 20% improvement. Statistical analysis indicates significant results (p < 0.001), validating the effectiveness of the enhancements. The streamlined process aligns with Lean principles, emphasizing efficiency, waste reduction, and improved quality control. The project contributes to operational excellence, offering a competitive edge in the pharmaceutical industry.
