Abstract

PurposeThis paper outlines how Design for Lean Six Sigma methods aided a medical device manufacturing company in developing a new strategic space management and approval process for its manufacturing site.Design/methodology/approachThe project demonstrates the application of the Design for Lean Six Sigma and structured Define, Measure, Analyse, Design, and Verify methodology in designing and implementing a process that enables the case study manufacturing site to improve its space utilisation and free up space.FindingsThe project was validated in one manufacturing department, and the Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology resulted in creating 15% new space for that area, with opportunities identified to free up 44.7% of the total manufacturing floor space and realise over €2.2 million cost savings as well as start to manufacture new products launched.Research limitations/implicationsThe manuscript highlights for the first time how the Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology can be utilised for space utilisation and can be leveraged by other manufacturers. The current study's limitations are that it is a single-site case study application. Future longitudinal case studies on Design for Lean Six Sigma application in more manufacturing space utilisation projects would be useful. This study has implications for identifying best practices for Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology application in the device industry, thus improving the state of the art for introducing new manufacturing lines.Originality/valueThis is the first published work to utilise Design for Lean Six Sigma methodology for space utilisation in a medical device company. This review will provide medical devices and other manufacturing organisations with recommendations on utilising Design for Lean Six Sigma and design for improved space utilisation to reduce costs.

精益六西格玛设计在战略空间管理中的应用
本文概述了精益六西格玛设计方法如何帮助一家医疗器械制造公司为其制造场所制定新的战略空间管理和审批流程。设计/方法/方法该项目展示了精益六西格玛设计和结构化定义、测量、分析、设计和验证方法在设计和实施过程中的应用,该过程使案例研究制造现场能够提高其空间利用率并释放空间。该项目在一个制造部门进行了验证,精益六西格玛设计方法为该区域创造了15%的新空间,有机会释放44.7%的总制造面积,实现超过220万欧元的成本节约,并开始生产新产品。研究局限/启示手稿首次强调了精益六西格玛设计方法如何用于空间利用,并可被其他制造商利用。当前研究的局限性在于它是一个单站点的案例研究应用程序。未来对精益六西格玛设计在更多制造空间利用项目中的应用的纵向案例研究将是有用的。本研究对确定精益六西格玛设计方法在器械行业应用的最佳实践具有启示意义,从而提高引进新生产线的技术水平。原创性/价值这是第一次发表的工作,利用设计精益六西格玛方法的空间利用在医疗器械公司。该审查将为医疗设备和其他制造组织提供关于利用精益六西格玛设计和改进空间利用以降低成本的设计的建议。

期刊介绍: Commitment to quality is essential if companies are to succeed in a commercial environment which will be virtually unrecognizable in less than a decade. Changing attitudes, changing perspectives and changing priorities will revolutionise the structure and philosophy of future business practice - and TQM will be at the heart of that metamorphosis. All aspects of preparing for, developing, introducing, managing and evaluating TQM initiatives.
