BCCC provides training for P & G Manufacturing employees | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    Four employees of P & G Manufacturing's Washington plant recently completed Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification coordinated by Business and Industry Services at Beaufort County Community College and East Carolina University.

    Topics covered throughout the course included processes for improvement, process mapping and value stream mapping, control systems, theory of constraints and basic statistical tools, among other topics.

    Six Sigma is a set of techniques and strategies for improving manufacturing processes developed by Motorola in 1985.
Those receiving certificates and their instructors are pictured, back row, left to right, David Overby, students Ross Barrow, Bernard Cox and Wendy Cooper, Instructor Merwan Mehta; front row, left to right, Instructor Janet Sanders, BCCC Customized Training Director Lauren Dudley and Greg Gardner.

    The students from P & G Manufacturing developed projects that not only saved P & G Manufacturing about $275,000 a year but also eliminated steps in the manufacturing process.

    "This is just the beginning," said Plant Manager David Overby. "These four students can go back and teach their fellow workers. They're using Green Belt methodologies to save time and money. I'm excited about it going forward."

    The training is part of a three-year project funded by a Customized Training Program Grant that was designed, by BCCC's Business and Industry Services, to help the company improve the skills of their workers and increase its workforce. Other training will include supervisory training, blueprint reading and safety training, among other classes
