dc.description.abstractTo align data control at inner cell an RFID Configuration Application was developed with the intend to reduce lost traceability issues. Six Sigma strategy following the DMAIC methodology was used as guidance to define the problem, measure the current state quo, analyze the problem, perform an improvement, and control the process. Through this project, the product changeover time at workstation 2 was eliminated (48s for a total available time of 80 min per day), and other design, and administration wastes as motion, overprocessing and defects (Non-conformances due to “Lost Traceability” that resulted on scrap were eliminated by 100%). This project helped to reach a labor cost avoidance of $2,558.88 and helped to increase 51% of the workstation capacity per day, and to creates a surge capacity of 63 units per day required for an upcoming project. Furthermore, improved the operators (customer) satisfaction, as well as the support team. The RFID Configuration Application implementation achieve its objective of Improving the product identification and traceability contributing to maintains the process in compliance as required by applicable regulatory bodies in Puerto Rico for Medical Devices Industry.
