Baxter Productos Medicos Ltda has difficultly accurately calculating monthly waste values per department, and therefore, cannot perform useful analysis. We created a tool to integrate the departmental waste files, and made recommendations to improve the accuracy of the data and the waste data collection methods for each department. Implementation of the tool and these recommendations will help Baxter improve the accuracy of its data, begin standardizing its files, and conduct better analysis regarding waste management.
