Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry plays a vital role in global health, improving people’s wellbeing, so time delivery is critical. That
is why companies are implementing automation in their processes. Hence, this research project intended to enhance productivity within a pharmaceutical company by implementing an optimized electronic system. The focus was to keep the deviation rate at 7% or below and keep consistent cycle times. Data from 2022 was analyzed, and it exhibited high deviation rates and cycle times that were not consistent, indicating the need for improvement. Upon the implementation, results showed that the deviation
rate remained below 7%. In addition, cycle times remained stable and low. A comparison of pre-and post-implementation data revealed significant improvements in both deviation rates and cycle times. However, continuous monitoring is crucial to validate the sustainability of these improvements and to identify possible trends and further improvements in the process. Key Terms - Cycle Time, Deviation Rate, Manufacturing Electronic Systems, Process Improvement.
