Increase Quantity Per Production Orders for OBI Intraocular Lenses

Abstract

The right order quantity can often drive your costs down and the quality up. This is because larger orders tend to give you more influence and control at a factory level. Factories are rarely totally independent and often rely on other people and services in the supply chain that often influence the focus of a factory. Smaller quantities can almost never really give you the necessary attention to both reduce costs as well as improve quality. [1]. To pursue the increase in production order size and to have a structured change management, the DMAIC methodology was used. As know it, DMAIC is a data-driven quality strategy used to improve processes. The term DMAIC stands for the five main steps in the process: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. To make business more competitive it is important to ensure higher utilization of the resources because can reduce unit costs[2]. Key Terms – CQA, CPP, increase, IOL.
