Raw Material Sampling Process Optimization using Lean Six Sigma Methodology

Abstract

Pharmaceutical Industry needs reduce the costs without impact the quality of the product. The principal objective of this project is the reduction of the cycle time of a raw material sampling process from 8 days to 2 days. This project demonstrates the application of Lean Six Sigma and DMAIC to the efficiency of a process. The tools using during the project: Voice of the Customer, SIPOC, High Level Process Map, Measure System Analysis, Process Capability, Pareto, Control Charts, Cause & Effect Matrix and Control Plan. As result of this project a cycle time reduction from 8 days to 3 days. Key Terms – Cycle Time, Lean Six Sigma, Raw Material, Six Sigma.
