By <strong>the</strong> spring of <strong>2012</strong>, <strong>the</strong> <strong>PEO</strong> <strong>C3T</strong><br />
had met its Fiscal Year (FY) <strong>2012</strong> financial<br />
benefits targets for Value Engineering<br />
(VE) and Lean Six Sigma (LSS),<br />
collectively realizing more than<br />
$145 million in cost reductions<br />
(savings and avoidance) from<br />
Fy <strong>2012</strong> through Fy 2018.<br />
The VE target is set<br />
annually at 1.5 percent of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>PEO</strong>’s <strong>to</strong>tal obligation authority,<br />
while <strong>the</strong> LSS target is 2 percent. In<br />
recent his<strong>to</strong>ry, <strong>the</strong> VE target has been<br />
met only twice before, while <strong>the</strong> LSS<br />
target has never before been met.<br />
Project Direc<strong>to</strong>r Communications<br />
Security (PD COMSEC) has been<br />
<strong>the</strong> largest single contribu<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> this<br />
success, identifying in excess of $100<br />
million in financial benefits between<br />
LSS and VE. PD COMSEC has also<br />
partnered with Tobyhanna <strong>Army</strong> Depot<br />
on projects related <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> receipt, s<strong>to</strong>rage,<br />
maintenance, issuance and accountability<br />
of COMSEC equipment.<br />
<strong>PEO</strong> <strong>C3T</strong>’s Continuous<br />
Process Improvement (CPI)<br />
program has undergone<br />
some changes over <strong>the</strong><br />
past year <strong>to</strong> better improve<br />
<strong>the</strong> efficiency of operations<br />
by optimizing key processes<br />
and identifying and executing<br />
CPI projects. As a result, employee Steve<br />
Wisniewski was able <strong>to</strong> set a new record<br />
for <strong>PEO</strong> <strong>C3T</strong>, completing his Green<br />
Belt project in only 29 days. The project<br />
sought <strong>to</strong> create a standard procedure<br />
for implementing NetFlow as a Warfighter<br />
Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T)<br />
NetOps troubleshooting <strong>to</strong>ol, yielding<br />
both tactical benefits and cost savings.<br />
$145<br />
million in<br />
cost reductions<br />
from FY <strong>2012</strong><br />
through FY<br />
2018<br />
“LSS is a very worthwhile<br />
endeavor,” said Wisniewski,<br />
an employee of <strong>the</strong><br />
Communications-Electronics<br />
Research, Development<br />
and Engineering Center<br />
(CERDEC) who is matrixed<br />
<strong>to</strong> Project Manager WIN-T. “It<br />
teaches you how <strong>to</strong> organize<br />
and present your process <strong>to</strong><br />
leadership so <strong>the</strong>y can make a<br />
viable decision <strong>to</strong> implement.”<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> VE and LSS<br />
targets have been exceeded,<br />
<strong>PEO</strong> <strong>C3T</strong>’s responsibility <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Soldier and <strong>the</strong> taxpayer does<br />
not end. We are continuing<br />
<strong>to</strong> identify and execute<br />
efficiencies, and <strong>to</strong> train our<br />
workforce <strong>to</strong> do <strong>the</strong> same.<br />
