Development and Application of Statistic Software Using Lean Concepts to Monitor the Performance of the Quality Assurance Department

Abstract

The vast majority of companies have integrated the lean methodology into their work environments so they can be more efficient in their processes, eliminating and correcting errors within the manufacturing environment. An accurate way to know that the process is in control is by using statistical software to measure patterns and detect errors. However, to make these graphs or tables, one needs the human element to create them. This research paper derives from an in-depth study of different statistical software’s that will help improve the manufacturing processes of a company, thus, removing waste. Currently, some programs configured can graphically give this information. With the information obtained, it can be analyzed, and conclusions can be drawn about the status of each process. It is of utmost importance since seeing these trends, certain improvement projects can be carried out to optimize the process.
