“From a financial standpoint, the project was very successful, but also from a unity standpoint. The team got together from Compliance, Customer Service and IT, plus the whole Lean Six Sigma team and made huge accomplishments. I now can look at any process within my area and know that I can make things better by instituting the tools that I learned.
We were able to reduce our turnaround time from 3 days to 1 day
We reduced our labor cost by about $230,000 a year
We can take on more orders as our efficiency improved, the number of steps in the process was cut from 100 to 44. And, you guys are great teachers and instructors. “
