Joint Lean/E-Enterprise for the Environment Projects Sample Clauses

Joint Lean/E-Enterprise for the Environment Projects. Description of Issue/Challenge: Today’s environmental challenges continue to increase in complexity while resources have either been static or declining. EPANE’s and NHDES’ ability to respond creatively, flexibly, and effectively will demand new, cooperative approaches to problem-solving, and the use of new tools, techniques, and technologies. Both agencies will support these efforts by using Lean (and similar) continuous process improvement tools and the E-Enterprise for the Environment (E-Enterprise) framework, as has been agreed upon by USEPA, the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS), and NHDES. Lean government enables state and federal environmental agencies to work more effectively and efficiently by reducing or eliminating waste within government processes. Many agencies, including NHDES and EPANE, are using Lean improvement methods to improve the quality, cost effectiveness, service delivery, transparency, and the speed of their processes, all without compromising the protection of public health and the environment.
