Through IBM Consulting’s program, government organizations will learn to analyze energy and water use, assess waste management, evaluate overall environmental impact and develop improvement strategies. Called IBM Public Sector Energy and Environment Diagnostic, the program uses a proprietary Heat Map tool to provide an initial analysis.
Where does Lean Six Sigma come in?
The public sector diagnostic is designed to be used together with many of these other offerings. For example, after completing an analysis and identifying areas for improvement with the public sector diagnostic, clients can use Green Sigma(TM), which applies Lean Six Sigma principles to measuring and monitoring energy and water usage throughout a organization’s operations, and the Carbon Trade-off Modeler, which helps evaluate and balance carbon dioxide emissions and energy usage with other key factors throughout a supply chain — cost, service and quality.
