Spring “Cleaning”

Spring and early summer can be a slower period for many departments on campus.  This is a great time to set aside a few days to make some improvements in your area or within the processes that you work with.  Here are some of the improvement events taking place this spring on campus:

  • Golf Course merchandising process – Improvements were made to the process of moving inventory that is delivered to the sale floor in April
  • Campus Directory update process – The annually printed campus directory currently requires a 2-3 month long process for updating  and formatting content.  A team will seek improvements for the process in June.
  • Facilities Shared Network Drive 5S Project – The “P” Drive in Facilities was a mess; some employees didn’t even know where they saved their own files.  Their shared drive is undergoing a transformation that will include guidelines so that new order will be maintained. 

What should you be cleaning this spring?
