Lean Six Sigma is not only useful for cutting costs and increasing profits. As the U.S. Navy has proven, Lean Six Sigma can be used to save lives! In this Profit through Process Interactive virtual case study, Genna Weiss of Six Sigma IQ speaks with Robert Kamensky, Lean Six Sigma Deployment Leader for Commander, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (COMSPAWAR), who discusses how Lean Six Sigma helped the Navy achieve increased production of its mine resistant ambush protected vehicles (MRAPs) to protect the lives of American Marines in theater in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan.
As an interested third party, Kamensky shows how SPAWAR Systems Center Charleston managed to increase the production of MRAPs from five to 50 a day in just five months. You will see how SPAWAR mapped out its plan of action through a high value core impact Value Stream, which helped the organization go from the strategic to the tactile level within the process, and you will also learn about its Lean Six Sigma execution plan. In addition, you will hear how SPAWAR broke down cultural barriers within the organization to ensure that everyone within SPAWAR would help support the MRAP project and enable its success.
Kamensky also reveals the control methods that SPAWAR put in place to preserve the MRAP production gains and how SPAWAR continues to shape its process improvement culture and maintain leadership buy-in for its future Lean Six Sigma initiatives.
