Ep 19 - ASQ - The Global Voice of Quality Professional Development June 20th

Thank you to the ASQ Houston chapter 1405 for inviting us to speak
at the professional dinner June 20th 2019.  It was an honor
and a lot of fun for us.  This was Darci AKA "The Boss Lady"s
public speaking event too. This is Part 1 of a two part
episode.  Next week we have a special podcast planned in honor
of Independence Day and we will release Part 2 the following
week.  The opening speaker was unable to present, so Darci and
Kyle sat down, assessed the situation and put together a topic and
podcast and presented this impromptu presentation of
#QualityMatters. CUTTING WASTEFUL STEPS, IMPROVING EFFICIENCY IN
CONTRACT PROCUREMENT PROCESS SAVES CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS MILLIONS
Cutting Wasteful Steps, Improving Efficiency in Contract
Procurement Process Saves Chicago Public Schools Millions The third
largest school district in the United States, the Chicago Public
Schools (CPS),        manages more than $2
billion in annual contract obligations for services and
supplies.Identifying a need to improve a procurement process that
had long grown inefficient, CPS officials hired consultant George
Chemers to support the implementation of the new vision for an
efficient process.Through a number of workshops, Chemers helped
staff identify opportunities to streamline the contract procurement
process while also improving budget forecasting. The lean review
cut the process in half while saving the school district millions
of dollars. ASQ Houston https://www.asqhouston.org/ ASQ Houston -
