Dallas Proud

The Office of Continuous Improvement is pleased to present the Fall 2017 Lean Innovation Awards. This prize is awarded twice a year to the best Lean Six Sigma projects completed in the USPS.  The Second Place award goes to the Dallas District and their Machine At-Risk project at the North Texas Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC).  This team’s effort resulted in significant At-Risk improvement across several equipment platforms within their facility and moved the National Performance Assessment (NPA) score from cell two to cell six.  Team members that worked on the project included Tim Costello, Nimrod Salazar and Yulonda Love, Larry Wagener, Lonnie Mooring, Ruben Moreno, Yulonda Mestas Derek Truman, Sergio Reynoso, Kevin Almond, Sara Hall, Neyscha Mercado.

 

Larry Wagener, commented, “The biggest difference was the team work between operations & plant support with maintenance to achieve the goal.”

 

Lonnie Mooring, remarked, “Instead of looking at the data on reports the next day, we were able to send out emails every 30 minutes that showed what areas needed to be addressed at the various machines.”
