Abstract

The use of quality indicators has been valued in the management of laboratories of quality control to optimize the qualification and quantification of failures in the different analytical processes; As well as to assist in the implementation of corrective and preventive measures in order to identify decision making. This work is an experimental study developed in a pharmaceutical industry where the PDCA quality tool can be used to promote continuous improvement in the analytical routine of a quality control laboratory. One can observe reduction of costs with equipment maintenance, reduction of the use of reagents and optimization of the routine of work of employees.
