| dc.description.abstract | A corrective action and preventive
action plan was developed to address the increase
of Finished Goods failures in a wound closure
medical device product family. Following a DefineMeasure-Analyze-Improve-Control Six Sigma
approach, process failure modes were successfully
identified and mitigated. Results show Finished
Goods nonconformances decreased by 93 percent
during the first four months of the action plan
effectiveness period increasing the process sigma
level from 5.51 to 6.35.
