Department of defense saves billion with lean six sigma and Minitab
State Colelge, Pa. (Vocus/PRWEB ) July 1, 2008 -- The U.S. military is saving billions of dollars by implementing quality improvement methods such as Lean Six Sigma, and these savings could grow even faster as the Department of Defense takes steps to expand these initiatives throughout the armed services.
For example, the
Department of Defense recently selected Minitab
Inc., the leading provider of software and services for quality
improvement, for a General Services Administration Blanket Purchase
Agreement.
The agreement makes Minitab’s solutions for quality improvement, data
analysis, Lean, and Six Sigma more easily accessible at a time when all
branches of the military are implementing such initiatives.
Since the U.S. Army deployed Lean Six Sigma in 2005, nearly 2,000 personnel have been trained, more than 1,000 projects have been completed, and more than 1,600 remain active. The Army credits these projects with achieving nearly $2 billion in savings so far.
