dc.description.abstract | This project explores the pattern of
active and effective accounts within the Global
Combat Support System, the Army’s maintenance
software, among key users and how in-proper
practices related to decreased mission readiness
indicators and the offload of maintenance funds.
Reports obtained from Global Combat Support
System did not show real information to drive
sound decisions on whether or not a unit is capable
to deploy to war or achieve its given mission. This
project uses the lean six sigma methodology to
identify problems with sound improvements. Within
the process a study is conducted all 43 deployable
units and their headquarters within the Puerto Rico
Army National Guard. By implementing lean six
sigma methodology and techniques such as
standard work, 5S, quality at source, and visual
management results in an increase of 56.8% in
mission capable equipment, an additional $30K for
funding, and an increase of 14% on active accounts
within four (4) weeks into improvement
implementations.
