The Cost Benefits of a Lean Six Sigma-Based Continuous Improvement Approach
The COVID-19 pandemic has
created far more than just a health crisis. The impact of government-mandated
shutdowns, restricted travel and unpredictable demand has increased costs and
created imbalance among supply chains and their end markets. This impact is
particularly significant in medical manufacturing, where regulatory practices
limit the ability to rapidly change component supply sources or processes
beyond what has been validated or approved.
Reducing cost or increasing
throughput to better address the impact of COVID-related supply chain disruption
requires a measured approach which considers both immediate improvements and
longer term options. Lean Six Sigma provides manufacturing teams with the
training, tools and process to achieve these goals.
Forefront Medical Technology,
a vertically-integrated specialty contract manufacturer with a focus in
disposable diagnostic, drug delivery systems and medical device systems has
been applying Lean Six Sigma philosophy over the last year to address
COVD-related challenges in its programs. This whitepaper looks looks at its Lean Six Sigma continuous improvement process.
