The DesiGators joined the rest of their IPPD cohort to attend the Team Building Workshop and White Belt Six Sigma Training presented by Florida Power & Light. The event was centered around process improvement and eliminating wasteful practices. The DesiGators were paired up with PolarFlow Optics to work on a simulation where we acted as a car dealership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first round of the simulation, the dealership was run with a lengthy process that had many unnecessary steps that drastically slowed down the time it took to sell a car. The team only sold four cars and had an average of seven minutes per sale. A Six Sigma Black Belt and Six Sigma Master Black Belt then broke down the Six Sigma and LEAN mentalities and how processes could be trimmed down to improve productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second round of the simulation, the team used an updated sales process to sell cars in a competition with all the other IPPD teams. The team managed to more than quintuple their sales, selling a total of 23 cars, and drastically reduced their average time per sale to around a minute and a half. The combined DesiGators and PolarFlow Optics team combined to have the most cars sold out of all the competing teams! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team celebrated earning their Six Sigma White Belt certifications and simulation win by grilling some kebabs! The perfect end to an IPPD-filled Saturday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
