dc.description.abstractA manufacturing final packaging line at medical devices company currently is human dependable and manual handling/inspection. Final Pack process have been performing at a suboptimal level resulting in recurrent quality events, scrap and manufacturing inefficiencies. Pick by light system will now be implemented in order to eliminate the failure modes associated to the quality issues. Also, the implementation of the pick by light system increased the productivity by eliminating the manual assembly of the literature. By implementing this new system, the company will be able to reduce considerable the quality /compliance issues. DMAIC is the methodology used in this project as Define, Measure Analyze, Improve and Control. DMAIC is a popularized continuous improvement method. The goal of this project is to standardize Final Pack lines with the other global plants, implementing automated inspections and Poka-Yoke stations in order to reduce escapes and increase productivity and as a consequence reduce the amount of money that the company is losing due this reason. In this project were used different techniques to maintain a continuous improvement, demonstrating that the DMAIC methodology is a useful one to have an incremental improvement.
