Continuous Improvement Initiatives. The NSSC adopted Lean Six Sigma (L6S) as its formal approach and methodology for continuous improvement. The L6S approach to improving the performance of shared services processes is enabling the NSSC to transform service performance, enhance customer satisfaction, and improve the “bottom line.” The emphasis on rigorously establishing and then aligning towards customer requirements is particularly significant for shared services. In order to reduce operational costs, the NSSC must introduce innovation and employ consistent processes to provide cost-effective services. During FY16, the NSSC will continue to employ innovation and continuous improvement methodologies to improve and enhance service experience as well as to identify cost drivers and other factors that drive the most efficient and cost effective methods for delivering services. Key areas of opportunity in FY16 include: (1) efforts to optimize Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure support operations— ServiceNow Migration stabilization, ServiceNow enhancements for continuous service improvement, and Data Center optimization, (2) Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) e-Invoicing capability implementation within the accounts payable process in partnership with the NEACC, (3) leveraging the Enterprise Service Desk (ESD) investment by transitioning/integrating Center Help Desks, (4) Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) transition, and (5) continuing to enhance the customer experience through greater use of mobile technologies.
