“…The PDCA cycle, also known as Deming cycle or Shewhart cycle [23], is a lean manufacturing methodology that was developed in 1930, when there was no more exclusive products and a more quality management focusing on competitiveness raised in the global market [24,25]. According to several authors, the creator of the original PDCA cycle was an American statistician named Walter A. Shewhart [25,26]. However, William Edward Deming was who, in the 1950s, developed this method, which, today, is one of the most worldwide known and applied.…”

Defects are considered as one of the wastes in manufacturing systems that negatively affect the delivery times, cost and quality of products leading to manufacturing companies facing a critical situation with the customers and to not comply with the IPC-A-610E standard for the acceptability of electronic components. This is the case is a manufacturing company located in Tijuana, Mexico. Due to an increasing demand on the products manufactured by this company, several defects have been detected in the welding process of electronic boards, as well as in the components named Thru-Holes. It is for this reason that this paper presents a lean manufacturing application case study. The objective of this research is to reduce at least 20% the defects that are generated during the welding process. In addition, it is intended to increase 20% the capacity of three double production lines where electronic boards are processed. As method, the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, is applied. The Pareto charts and the flowchart are used as support tools. As results, defects decreased 65%, 79%, and 77% in three analyzed product models. As conclusion, the PDCA cycle, the Pareto charts, and the flowchart are excellent quality tools that help to decrease the number of defective components.
