Abstract:In the industrial production scenario, the goal of engineering is focused on the continuous improvement of the process performance by maximizing the effectiveness of the manufacturing and the quality of the products. In order to address these aims, the advanced robust process optimization techniques have been designed, implemented, and applied to the manufacturing process of ultrasound (US) probes for medical imaging. The suggested guideline plays a key role for improving a complex multi-stage manufacturing pr… Show more
“…Por ende, se observa que se aplican las metodologías de Six Sigma y Kaizen con el objetivo de explorar las estrategias del Kaizen junto con Six Sigma para un aumento de rendimiento y calidad en el producto y proceso. También se aplica las metodologías de Six Sigma con el Ciclo Deming, que estaba direccionada a mejorar de forma continua el rendimiento de los procesos y la calidad de los productos [52,53,6]. Sea cual sea la metodología implementada, siempre se va a observar una mejora en las empresas dado que es lo que se busca con su aplicación.…”
This research aims to determine the methodologies of continuous improvement most used in manufacturing companies for the identification and solution of problems in the production process that may arise. Scientific articles were used using the SCOPUS, EBSCO and SCIENCE DIRECT databases. The filtering processes were considered to carry out this study with articles that respond to the question posed, with language in English and Spanish and are between 2016 and 2021. Similarly, some keywords were taken for the search such as improvement, methodology, manufacturing, continuous improvement. We selected 51 articles for this systematic review. The result obtained indicated that the Lean Manufacturing methodology is the most used by manufacturing companies in the last 6 years. Since this methodology reduces waste, costs and unproductive times, it satisfies the client's need and increases the productivity of a company making it more competent. Similarly, the 5S tool was identified as the most used to improve organization, order and cleanliness in the company. It is worth mentioning that one of the limitationspresented was the free access to documents that prevented a more accurate search.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
