Abstract
Haemonetics Puerto Rico, a medical devices manufacturing site of blood filters, identified that approximately the 11% of the monthly plan of the manufacturing line #3 cannot be made using the available manufacturing time of the line. The objective of this project is to increase in at least 20% the manufacturing line output by identifying and eliminating the wastes in the manufacturing process of line #3. To achieve this goal, the DMAIC methodology will be used to identify the possible root causes and improve them adequately. After following DMAIC methodology and provide improvements, the line output increased in a 22%, which means that the line will only require 37 shifts per month to complete the manufacturing plan from the 40 shifts available. With this improvement, line #3 now can comply with the monthly plan. Key Terms ⎯ Filter manufacturing, lean manufacturing, process output, Six Sigma
