dc.description.abstractThis study describes the implementation of Six Sigma for improvement of the addition process of carnauba wax on coated tablets in a pharmaceutical industry. Due to the frequent complaints received from costumers for covered engraving on tablets with carnauba wax, the company carried out a Six Sigma project. The Six Sigma methodology provides an organized structure for problem analysis and problem solving. Using DMAIC phases the problem was defined; the variables influencing the process were measured; the causes for the tablet elegance defect were analyzed; improvements were scheduled and made until level of customer satisfaction were reached. A new tool was implemented for the addition of carnauba wax during coating drying step. The project implementation achieved to increase productivity and allowed process standardization, improving customer service and quality.
