The U.S. Army has chosen software from PowerSteering Software Inc. to track its lean Six Sigma projects.The Army uses lean Six Sigma to identify functions that are no longer relevant, to eliminate nonvalue-added operations and positions, and to focus resources on required capabilities. With more than 1,000 Six Sigma-trained personnel and hundreds of ongoing projects, lean Six Sigma is being used in all Army divisions, including business, engineering, production and management.

PowerSteering’s Enterprise software will be used by the Army for executive visibility, best-practice methodology templates, Black Belt productivity, idea portal, keyword search and knowledge management capabilities.

“Lean Six Sigma is about impacting culture change in the Army,” says Donald A. Geiss Jr., U.S. Army ARDEC lean/Six Sigma deployment director. “And we knew that the best way to instill accountability and ownership was to empower management with the kind of proven and reliable tracking tool from PowerSteering.”
