Article 50. The Wounded Warrior Government Waste Elimination Project

This proposal was rejected by the GAO, reason not needed at this time. It would have trained Wounded Warriors using Lean Six Sigma and Reform Models to eliminate government waste.  Possible Savings $100 Billion.

The Wounded Warrior Government Waste Elimination Project was developed by:
Lawrence Rosier Principal Consultant-government reform
LawrenceRosier4@Gmail.com cell 573 578 4716

The Objective:
To eliminate the estimated more than $100 Billion in annual Government Waste (Newt Gingrich's Estimate) with specially trained Wounded Warriors using new innovative efficiency and effectiveness tools.

The Plan:
To develop and train Wounded Warriors as Analysts to be employed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in the elimination of Federal Government waste.

A key element which must be overcome is the expansion of the GAO's mandate making it proactive in not only identifying government waste but in actively eliminating it. Congress should  act to make the project a reality. 

The project would begin modestly as a demonstration to fine tune the approach using reform models developed by Lawrence Rosier Principal Consultant. The first model, the “Consolidation Model” is to be applied to the elimination of duplicated government services identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).  This is followed by the demonstration of the “General Reform Model” to be applied to a selected Agency to get the highest efficiency and effectiveness possible.

Beginning with as few as ten Wounded Warriors trained as Lean Six Sigma Analysts upon reaching the Green Belt level of proficiency qualify to enter the project as government employees of the GAO.  The next step is the assignment of the Analysts to Lawrence Rosier Principal Consultant for class room training in the special skills needed in the successful application of the reform Models.  This is followed by on-the-job training in the actual application of the reform models.

The successful demonstration of this approach will be followed by a second group of Wounded Warriors and the process of training repeated.  This done until an optimum number of Wounded Warrior Analysts have been trained and are active in the elimination of government waste.

With thousands of instances of government waste to be fixed the Wounded Warrior Analysts will eventually be operating as internal government Consultants saving the US tax payers by some estimates $100 billion annually.

Training in Specific Technologies Provided by the Principal Consultant:
GAO Wounded Warrior Analysts will receive class room training as well as  on the job training in the following Innovative Technologies:
 1.  Lean Six Sigma-  by a certified Lean trainer (provided by the DoD) This is required to enter the Project.
 2.  Enterprise Lean-  by the Principal Consultant
 3.  Variable Function Analysis-  by the Principal consultant
 4.  Time studies,  a necessary basic skill- by the Principal consultant
 5.   Statistical Sampling-  by the Principal consultant
 6.  Right-Sizing (makes sure all employees have a full time job)- by the Principal consultant
 7.  Bottoms-up budgeting-  by the Principal consultant
 8.  Staffing-  by the Principal consultant
 9.  Workload Balancing (management of the work flow)- by the Principal consultant 
10.  Short Interval Scheduling-  by the Principal consultant
11. Operation Sequence Charts-  by the Principal consultant
12.  Productivity Reporting Techniques-  by the Principal consultant
13. Team Management-  by the Principal consultant
14.  Effectiveness Test-  by the Principal consultant

The Consolidation Model:
The implementation of Lawrence Rosier’s "Consolidation Model" is a method of approach that is general enough to be applied to most situations in government requiring consolidation.  Either current GAO Analysts or wounded Warrior Analysts can apply the Effectiveness Test to a duplicated government service.  Duplicated services proven Effective by passing the Effectiveness Test are evaluated by Wounded Warrior Analysts for efficiency.  The resulting most efficient Services are moved to new streamlined organization. 

The General Reform Model:
The "General Reform Model" uses Enterprise Lean to Right-Size the organization getting the highest efficiency possible while improving the effectiveness of the organization. It uses the Lean study data for Work Measurement to determine the proper staffing and budgeting.  The method trains the organization’s managers in Enterprise Lean forming teams to do high level studies. All Functional employees are trained in Lean forming Self-Managed Lean Teams to study each of their functions.   After the Teams have gained in sufficient skill level the bureaucratic organization is replaced by a Team Management organization.  The Method empowers employees to make continuous improvements to the Organization’s operations.  The method reforms the Organization while improving employee morale.
