ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this work is to optimize the fracture resistance of the EPS parts used in the packaging of electronic products by using iterative DE-Experiment Design, as a more effective methodology to improve the performance of the productive processes than when It is done in isolation. The iterative DE was applied in a process of molding polyethylene pieces (EPS) in three stages: selection, modeling and optimization. In the selection stage the most important factors of the process were determined; in the modeling stage he determined how the important factors affect the process and in the optimization stage the optimum levels were established. Keeping the process operating within the ranges obtained brought with it a better control of the process with the following benefits: Reduction of the cycle time in 26.6. %; Reduction of the extra monthly time in 77%, and Reduction of charges for returns of rejected products in 85%.

Keywords: Process Improvement Strategy, Design of Iterative Experiments, Optimization of packaging resistance.
