Waste Not, Want Not
By applying Lean Six Sigma practices, the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools' Graphic Production Center was able to reduce its paper waste by 90 percent, resulting in potential additional revenue of $64,000 annually.
"We weren't sloppy—far from it," Griffin contends. "But we did find some room for continuous improvement. And this is something we are reporting every quarter, and it gets pushed upstream to the powers that be."
Griffin now wants to take on another Lean Six Sigma project, possibly looking at the shop's sales figures.
