dc.description.abstractThe project took place in a medical device company that manufactures custom procedure packs. During the pack assembly process, components may be left out of the pack which causes the assembly process to stop to rework completed packs. A rework involves a loss of productivity and additional costs to be added to the order. The objective of this project is to reduce the occurrence of missing components by understanding the process thru process observations and data collection. After understanding the current process, two areas of the process were improved to achieve a better process flow, standardized the pack assembly process, and accomplish a reduction in orders reported with missing components. As the process was improved the production output increased. The major finding of this paper concluded that manual processes standardization is required to reduce the occurrence of mistakes.
