This is a case history of how Avis Budget Group was on their way to realize $100 million saved in 2008 through Lean and Six Sigma.
In March, senior management approached David Myers, Vice President of Financial Planning and Analysis, to take on a new full-time responsibility and lead this effort as global deployment leader, and to bring in outside help to expedite process improvements using tools such as Lean and Six Sigma. The objective was to develop an implementation plan to improve company-wide profits by $100 to $150 million in two or three years while maintaining or improving the quality of ABG customer service.
