Engineering Firm Expects to Save Millions With Tools for Continuous Improvement
Overview Black & Veatch, which has more than 90 engineering offices around the world, specializes in energy, water, and information infrastructure design projects. A recent adopter of the Six Sigma continuous improvement methodology, the company experienced a sharp increase in the number of Six Sigma initiatives that it wanted to tackle. Black & Veatch needed to find an alternative to its practice of tracking projects using complicated spreadsheets. The company engaged Immedient, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, to implement the Microsoft Office Solution Accelerator for Six Sigma. Black and Veatch estimates that the new solution will enable each Black Belt to handle one additional project annually. With each additional project managed by the same project manager, Black and Veatch expects to save approximately U.S.$150,000, and the result could be a significant return on investment.
