dc.description.abstractAbstract ⎯ This article describe how the problem solving approach of Define, Measure, Analyze, Implement and Control (DMAIC) is applied to increase the utilization of an industrial glassware washer system in a Biopharmaceutical Industry. The application of this methodology results in a deep understanding of the cleaning process. Sources of variation were identified and a root cause analysis conducted allows for the identification of potential solutions as well as selection and implementation of improvements. The implementation of improvements in the control phase reflect reductions in the amount of cleaning loads required to satisfy manufacturing needs on a weekly basis, reducing in 40% the amounts of loads,increasing by 20% the utilization of the cleaning system and providing tools to the support area staff that will allow them to have a better understanding of the logistic involved along the cleaning process. Key Terms ⎯ DMAIC methodology, cleaning system utilization.en_US
