Pitney Bowes, a provider of integrated mail and document management solutions, has chosen PowerSteering Software to track and report on its new Six Sigma quality initiatives.

Pitney Bowes implemented the PowerSteering tracking system parallel to the startup phase of its Six Sigma programs. To date, Pitney Bowes has deployed PowerSteering across 50 quality projects with plans to grow the initiative throughout the company. The company expects to achieve at least $250,000 in savings for each project.

PowerSteering’s software--deployed in less than three weeks--is being used to provide critical project data, financial benefit tracking and templates that provide visibility into project definition, measurement, analysis, improvement and control using Six Sigma.

"As we began our Six Sigma initiatives, it was imperative that we had a clear understanding of their value to our internal processes as well as their value to our customers," says Nancy Tan, vice president of Six Sigma for Pitney Bowes Global Enterprise Solutions. "In just under three weeks, the PowerSteering solution was giving us visibility into the success of our projects creating excitement around our new quality programs, and helping us align our projects with corporate goals."
