LeanSigma Kaizen for Forest ManagementWe have been experiencing unusual weather patterns lately. Rains during the summer, humid and hot dry climate where there should be wet or cool climate. When it rains, too, it really pours, thus flooding of great magnitude occur.

Many conclude that this altered weather patterns are caused by the degradation of our environment. Despite the efforts and renewed awareness, we continue to suffer from a damaged environment.

Perhaps, this reality must have inspired Forestry companies and the Natural Resources Department in New Brunswick to finally sit down and plan a forest management initiative. Many cities have embarked on the same or similar activities, but what’s interesting about this one is that the team will combine Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen and incorporate it into the forest management program.

Calling the program as LeanSigma Kaizen, the team hopes to achieve the following:

  2. add value to their departments
  3. review the existing Frown Lands and Forest Act
  4. bring the red tape initiative to a new level
  5. implement an effective forest management event
