2. Six Sigma in Action:
Deployment Optimization
Customer Profile – 4100 Seat Hospital Medical Center Campus
Business Problem & Impact
Customer requested an improvement in workstation
deployment output for a 2500 seat migration project.
Measure & Analyze Week 1-3
Week 4-6
Daily workstation deployment output had dropped 63% from
40 to 15 per day, causing significant project delays. Statistical
analysis proved that root causes were driven by system
failures, as well as process failures.
Improve & Control
Improvements included instituting a GE ITS Project Manager,
working directly with the customer to improve system failures
impeding project output, as well as developing a dedicated
extranet portal to eliminate delay-inducing communication
gaps between the customer and GE ITS project teams.
Results/Benefits
Improved deployment yield 70%, bringing the project back to
original timeline. These improvements included a direct
savings to the client of over $300K.
