| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this project is to ensure
that the machining, electropolishing, product testing
and packaging processes; manufacturing control
methods; and product specifications are properly
installed, qualified and validated for the TiMesh
product at Medtronic Spinal Humacao. The TiMesh
product is being transferred from Medtronic Goleta
in California, where is has been manufactured for
the last 15 years. The transfer of the TiMesh product
will be implemented in a Cell Operating System with
a Product ID Equipment to ensure the best control
of the product during the final inspection and
packaging steps of the product. The products will be
100% inspected during routine manufacturing
activities. The TiMesh will be distributed worldwide
due to its small size and use in operating rooms.
The DMAIC methodology was used for this
research project for the product transfer of TiMesh
surgical screws at Medtronic Spinal Humacao from
the sister company Medtronic Goleta in California.
DMAIC is a methodology used for process
improvements using Six Sigma. DMAIC is an
acronym that stands for the five phases of this
process: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and
Control.
