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.
Lean Six Sigma is commonly defined as a synergized managerial concept that results in the elimination of seven kinds of waste, classified as Defects, Overproduction, Transportation, Waiting, Inventory, Motion and Over-Processing. It involves producing goods and services at a rate of 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
