Area of Science:

  • Medical Device Traceability
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Operations Management

Background:

  • Implementing individual-level instrument traceability using Data Matrix barcodes faced challenges with reader effectiveness.
  • Ineffective barcode reading slowed down the medical procedure tray repackaging process and caused operator reluctance.
  • This hindered the efficient deployment of Data Matrix technology in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize the performance of Data Matrix readers for individual instrument traceability.
  • To identify key parameters influencing reader performance and determine their optimal settings.
  • To overcome bottlenecks in the medical procedure tray repackaging stage.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Taguchi method for experimental design to efficiently identify influential parameters.
  • Conducted a limited number of trials to determine optimal settings for reader performance.
  • Focused on improving the reading time of instruments with Data Matrix barcodes.

Main Results:

  • Achieved an 81% reduction in instrument reading time.
  • Optimized reader performance using lean production resources.
  • Successfully addressed operator reluctance and improved process efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The Taguchi method effectively optimized Data Matrix reader performance for instrument traceability.
  • Significant improvements in reading time and efficiency were realized, enabling continued implementation.
  • Enhanced traceability processes led to increased satisfaction among medical staff and improved operational workflow.
