Re-engineering of an environmental compliance process will provide the Department of Defence with a cost avoidance of $300,000 per year by eliminating the need for six full-time positions.
The re-engineering was accomplished with the use of WITNESS. The software allowed engineers to analyse the current process and evaluate alternatives inexpensively in a minimal amount of time. The process involves analysing the 2,000 spare parts purchases made each year by the Redstone Arsenal in order to reduce environmental impact. The software helped engineers identify which aspects of the process took up the most time so they could focus their efforts on developing solutions and automating where practical.
