GreenBiz.com carries a story about a green strategy that pays off for retailers.
Based on the company’s white paper, Suzanne Long, the Retail Practice leader for the global operations consulting firm, SSA & Company, says, “Retailers spend millions of dollars on their green agendas, but never see the opportunity those agendas present to operate smarter, more efficiently, and with lower cost.”
This is true. Not many companies, in fact, know how to utilize improvement projects to save or cut on costs. What strikes me about the article is the recognition that green strategy can be successful with Lean Six Sigma.
SSA & Company was founded as the Six Sigma Academy in 1994. The firm works with businesses to develop green and other management strategies by using the principles of Lean Six Sigma.
