District Manager Eric Chavez
Southern
Area Master Black Belt Robert Pitsinger announced that Suncoast District
Manager Eric Chavez is the first District Manager in the Southern Area to
become Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certified.
The process to achieving Black Belt Certification includes two weeks of
training, exams, statistical analysis and illustrating each of the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) Phases with presentations.
“The
Transportation Optimization project Mr. Chavez selected will result in an annualized
savings of over $5 Million dollars,” said Pitsinger. “I was very
impressed with Mr. Chavez. He was
committed to understanding the different tools, not only how they would impact
his own project, but also how they would impact everyday operations in the Suncoast
District.”
Chavez will formally receive his Black Belt
Certification, signed by Postmaster General Megan Brennan, during
a recognition presentation. “The Lean Six
Sigma Black Belt training teaches how to use advanced tools of continuous
improvement processes,” said Chavez. “Headquarters
and the Southern Area are committed to advancing continuous improvement
processes throughout the Postal Service at all levels of the organization. Our
Suncoast Leadership Team will be an extension of that commitment to continuous
improvement.”
Congratulations, Mr. Chavez! The Suncoast Team is
honored to have you as our District Manager!
