How to Reduce Your Electricity Bill by 31% Using Lean Six Sigma

After conducting a Six Sigma project to reduce their electric bill, a household set out to use the DMAIC model, which resulted in:

• a baseline of electricity usage (over 1 year)
• identified appliances and how much electricity is
  used and when during the day
• audit the number of times room lights and computers are left unattended and powered on

The results of the project led to:

• Reduced monthly electricity cost by 31%, 10% greater than the target goal
• Improved alignment of max power usage with least cost time frames, thus reducing the cost of electricity used
• Improved awareness by all house mates on their own power usage habits.

A control plan was developed to continue to monitor the usage each week, including an annual energy audit.
