Accomplishments

    We were experiencing a high number od documentation errors in the hydrophilic process. Utilizing the Lean Six Sigma, I assembled a cross-functional team and led an investigation to identify the root causes. After analyzing the data revealed several factors, including workload, excessive documentation entries, the number of operators performing the process and operators multitasking. Base on these insights the updated process become more manageable, streamlining the documentation be eliminating 100 entries, increasing the worker from two to three operators. As a result we achieved a significant reduction in documentation errors.
