The Garrett County commissioners announced yesterday the names of those appointed to their Lean Committee. To prepare for pending revenue shortfalls in the next three- to five-year budget cycles, the commissioners recently proposed this efficiency task force idea to find ways to save county government/taxpayers money.
"'Lean' seeks continuous improvement within an organization and is facilitated by a systematic approach to identify problems and achieving efficient solutions that in turn create better outcomes for employees and the constituents that they serve," county administrator Monty Pagenhardt explained in August when the commissioners announced that a committee would be formed.
The members of the Lean Committee from Garrett County government are Mike Bittinger, Sheriff's Office; Brian King, Public Utilities; Theresa Miller, Roads Department; Nathaniel Watkins, Department of Informational Technology; and Scott Weeks, Financial Services
The group's community members are Bob Hoffmann, retired, United States Air Force; Steve Lantz, retired, banking executive; Gary Ruddell, Total Biz Fulfillment; Rebecca Sines, First United Bank and Trust; Joe Thomas. Phenix Technologies; and Bill Welch, Simon Pearce.
Committee members have been invited to attend the Western Maryland Lean Conference at Garrett College on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Garrett College. The keynote speaker for the daylong event is Jeff Fuchs, director of the Maryland World Class Consortia.
He will define "lean" and share ways in which it can be implemented in any organization. Topics will include "Lean in Action," "Keys to Success," and "Key Aspects of Continuous Improvement."
