<p>St. Jude Medical Inc is one of the worlds leading companies in the medical technology area with cardiovascular devices as its specialty.</p><p>Manufacturing implantable medical devices such as Pace Maker Electrodes requires complex design, safe processes and well trained operators. User friendly manufacturing operations are a necessity.</p><p>Lately there’s been an increase of the manufacturing volume which also increased the number of operators. More operators need to be trained and cross-trained. User friendly manufacturing operations will lead to a more effective training process.</p><p>The goal of this thesis is to improve manufacturing quality while maintaining or increasing productivity.</p><p>MOs should be written with a simple and straight language. MOs should include photo images to strengthen the structures in MO and make it easier for operators to organize.</p><p>The conclusion of this thesis is divided in two parts. The first part is to implement a new way for process engineers to create manufacturing operations. This was done in form of a checklist and an introduction manual called “Photoshop Handbook”.</p><p>The second part is a tested and verified prototype of what user friendly instructions could look like.</p>
