Article 1: Surviving the Pandemic with Lean Sigma Weaponry

n this global pandemic, companies are feeling the economic squeeze resulting from global stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, and social distancing which has shut down our nation’s heartbeat. The undertow of the pandemic has left many at a crossroads to determine how to pivot and shift to survive the halting screech from COVID-19 that has paralyzed the world. The response within the utilities industry has been to reduce capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs by shelving IT projects, furloughing employees, and reducing headcount.

A powerful tool that could provide substantial benefits by maximizing efficiency while cutting bottom line costs is Lean Sigma. Based on the decades of experience working with globally-recognized commercially successful companies, one thing that differentiates their approach from the utilities industry has been their focus on Lean Sigma Business Process Transformation.

This is the first of a five-article series that will take a closer look how utilities can launch and manage a Lean Sigma program. It will lay out real case studies to demonstrate the benefits of Lean Sigma across multiple industries. Within this initial article, you will learn about the traditional Lean Sigma organizational roles, responsibilities, and training to support a Lean Sigma program.
