Global Productivity Solutions Helps Create Efficiencies In California State Government
Clinton Township, Michigan, August 14, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Global Productivity Solutions (GPS), an industry leader in productivity improvement and business turnaround, has provided its expertise to 12 State of California departments within five agencies to aid in becoming more efficient, while providing better service in the wake of staff reductions.
GPS worked with state officials in the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to create a Lean Six Sigma implementation program that provides classroom training, hands-on project work, and one-on-one coaching to improve an organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.
“GO-Biz has been tasked with identifying ways to make government more efficient to better serve the business community.” said Robert Brogle, a Six Sigma Master Black Belt at GPS.
Participating agencies include:
· Government Operations Agency
· Natural Resources Agency
· CA Environmental Protection Agency
· CA Department of Food and Agriculture
· Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency
Projects included the reduction of time required to handle consumer complaints, reducing processing errors, and improving business applications processes in various departments.
The Lean Six Sigma approach is a combination of two powerful methodologies, each designed to produce substantial results using a data-driven focused approach to an organization’s weaknesses. “Lean” was developed in the early 1960s in the automotive industry, and focused on improving efficiencies and reducing waste. “Six Sigma” was developed in the mid-1980s in the tech industry, and focuses on improving quality and reducing defects through the proper use of data and metrics.
