About a couple of months ago, I shared here the plan of Erie County to use Six Sigma to save taxpayers’ money. The county would begin doing it by giving its people Six Sigma training.
Well, just last week, wgrz.com reports that by a vote of 14 to 1, Erie County lawmakers voted to approve a 6 Sigma appointment for Erie County government.
Al Hammonds, a Six Sigma Blackbelt, will be the Director for Six Sigma in Erie County and accordig to him, he will teach, train, implement those methodologies, administrate and establish an infrastructure and systems to get Six Sigma, or more importantly the improvements, going.
I commend the County for going seriously into improving their operations. I wish other governments would do the same.
