Written permission required from the department head for NON-IE and NON-UP students or researchers Submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements in IE 135 : Industrial Quality Control The group conducted a quality control study on Pascual Laboratories, Inc. to document the production processes involved in the manufacture of Amoxicillin (250mg) including the quality assurance activities associated with the specific purposes. Another objective of the study is to be able to apply basic concepts and principles learned in the course and to be able to assess the present condition of the system and thus make improvements on this system. Amoxicillin was the product that was focused on because, according to the Quality Systems Manager, it encounters the most number of problems and incongruities. To be able to find the problems, the group did several analysis and techniques, which includes Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Pareto Analysis, Process Control charts and analysis, Process Capability Analysis, and the Cause and Effect Analysis, or Ishikawa Diagram. Using these techniques, the group found out that the nonconformity with the most number of occurrence is the out of range fill weight. Further study showed that the process is in statistical control but not capable of meeting the specifications. The group was able to recommend several strategies for management action and process improvement. Also, the group suggested the use of known techniques like the Seven Management Tools and the Total Quality Management Approach. Pascual Laboratories Incorporated. Pharmaceutical industry.
