This document presents a case study on applying Six Sigma methodology to streamline the financial reporting process within the finance department of a major defense contractor. The goal of the project, called Continuing Account Reconciliation Enhancement (CARE), was to standardize and document the process for establishing and maintaining costing and planning within the current financial management system. Applying Six Sigma's DMAIC framework, the team mapped the existing process, identified inefficiencies, standardized procedures, and achieved significant reductions in cycle time and cost per report produced. The results showed Six Sigma can successfully be applied beyond manufacturing to optimize business processes in other functions like finance.
This document discusses independent learning and how teachers can encourage it. It asks teachers to join a focus group to share progress in developing independent learning. Teachers are asked to identify one change they could make to their practice, such as creating conditions that encourage learner independence or making a small change to existing practice, to discuss in the next meeting. The document also explores what independent learning is, how it is expressed in different subjects, and characteristics of independent learners.
