About this measure |
This measure the value of improvements to County programs, services, and processes as a result of continuous improvement efforts. Data reported is provided by the Cuyahoga County Office of Innovation and Performance (I&P).
Why is this important? |
Cuyahoga County has a duty to continue to improve processes to ensure the maximum investment is made with public dollars received. I&P works with departments to identify process improvements. The value of improvements can be calculated in four different categories:
- Cost savings: Funding previously spent that can be reallocated or reduced
- Avoided costs: Potential costs that are not spent due to an improved process
- Productivity gains: Increase productivity or decrease in staff time to complete work
- Community benefits: Increase in benefits or decrease in cost to the community for services
How are we making an impact? |
In 2016 through 2018, Cuyahoga County received grants from the State of Ohio to conduct Lean Six Sigma (process improvement) training through a contract partner. I&P oversaw the training and management of the grant. With the completion of the grant in 2018, I&P chose to move the training in-house to provide more regular training at a lower cost to the County. This training is scheduled to restart in the summer of 2019.
In addition to the Lean Six Sigma training, I&P also conducts process improvement projects with department staff. In the first quarter of 2019, I&P submitted a report with recommended improvements on the procurement process.
