UC San Diego Goes Palooza With Process Improvement

On November 8th, UC San Diego recently conducted its first-ever Process Palooza, a day-long conference and competition focused on continuous improvement through Lean Six Sigma techniques.

The goal of the event was to strengthen the community of Lean Six Sigma peers, at UC San Diego as well as encourage more employees to incorporate process improvement into their job.

More than 400 UC San Diego employees signed up to attend and learn first-hand from their colleagues about how process improvement can save money, streamline operations and improve service.
