Design of a Hazardous Chemical Cleanup System-A Design for Six Sigma Case Study
Abstract
In chemical and hospital laboratories, small liquid spills are a frequent occurrence. Chemical students and medical laboratory personnel use rags or paper towels to mop up these liquids, exposing themselves to chemical or biological risks. Individuals working in these facilities need a product that would cater to their needs of rapid and safer spill cleaning. The current mopping method practiced is time consuming and may be dangerous. With the help of Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) principles, the goal of this team is to design a mop that would absorb approximately 250 mL of chemical or biological liquid spill faster than methods currently in practice and with a stand-off distance of 4 feet ensuring operator safety.
