dc.description.abstract“With less, it can be accomplished more”. On occasion, everybody wants more but does not want to invest. The company needs higher productivity and capacity, leading to a higher profit and a lower labor cost. A good way to achieve those goals is by optimizing the process and taking advantage of and using all the space, machines, and personnel working in the area. Considering that the scheduled order for the week is not finished at the scheduled time, as proposed. The majority of the orders are not finished on time as proposed. In order to finish, an overtime shift on the weekend must be kept in production to finish the orders for the week. If the orders are not finished in the extra shift, the order must be rolled over to next week, affecting cycle time, productivity of the operation, sterilization process, and estimated arrival time (ETA) for the client. During the investigation, it will be evaluated, applying the methodology of DMAIC, what is happening in the manufacturing process that the orders are being manufactured on an extra shift or rescheduled with a roll over for the next week. It must optimize the process in order to comply with the production schedule and have solid delivery reliability towards the client. Keywords - 7 Wastes: Motion, DMAIC Method, Energy Director, Ultrasonic Welding, Voice of Customer.
