The history of the brick is the history of civilization, the architecture began when 2 bricks were joined. Brick is an older man-made building material. (W. P. Campbell, 2004 and Sánchez, 2013) he objective of this work is to identify the brick manufacturing production process in the city of Ciudad Juarez through the application of the DMAIC methodology. The research work is based on an exploratory sampling with visits to the most important production areas, specifically at km 20 in Ciudad Juárez Chih. observing the manufacturing process from the mixing of the clays to the firing of the units in the oven. Currently it has been found that the wooden mold only allows to obtain 3 bricks and the mold could be improved to double the production, in addition a table could be adapted that makes it easier for the worker to place the mold without having to bend down. It has been found that there is variability in the dimensions of the bricks between one production and another, verifying the dimensions of the 1st burning in January. Analyzing the production of 500 raw bricks in a 6-hour day, taking 5 products every hour.
