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.
The in-plant created a problem statement, which read: "Within our operations' printing process, we have observed a substantial amount of non-value added product being generated. Approximately 326,000 marked and damaged unmarked sheets are being removed every 60 days, resulting in lost revenue of X dollars per year."
