Does six sigma count?

In all, the command aims to save at least $250 million, which it hopes to redirect to other priorities in the 2007 budget being planned now. That’s enough to buy an additional Littoral Combat Ship — quite an accomplishment, if successful, considering the Navy can only afford four new ships a year, said James Brice, director of the command’s Lean Six Sigma efforts. Each project now under way across the command is yielding savings between $140,000 to $150,000 on average; Brice said he hopes to get that figure up to $200,000 per project.
