The rapid growth of global medical device industry and technology of drug delivery system accompany with the increment of demand forecast. In order to fulfill the customer orders and requirements, the scale of the enterprise keeps growing and brings a serious of challenges: the higher level of customer requirements, the growing trend of small- volume- large- variety production, shortened time-to–market schedule. Time and efficiency have gradually become essential for the enterprise to retain competitive. Lean Six Sigma combines the advantages of lean production and six sigma, it can reduce the waste and speed up the process as well as decrease the process variation through statistical approach, which is a popular management methodology and widely applied in manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is to introduce Lean Six Sigma (LSS) to S company, trying to find the potential failure in current process via DMAIC steps and lean thinking. The improvement is focus on operation before first article pass, project goal is to increase first article pass rate. We find the engineer is key input variable during the process. After reorganized the process flow and implemented new On-Job Training (OJT) and qualification programs, the study result shown that first article pass rate has increased from 75.10% to 86.15%, the improve rate is 11.5%; the average waste time of first article has reduced 2.32 hours, the improvement rate is 59.79%. We can conclude that there is a significant improvement on production performance by applying Lean Six Sigma
