Cut Waste First!

Cut Waste FirstManaging the Public Sector in today’s Economic Climate is an immensely difficult task. The recently announced budget cuts of £128M coming on top of required £370M efficiency savings the NI Departments have already been asked to make, and with the prospect of yet more cuts to follow in the Autumn.

Waste comes in many forms: Cost of poor quality, lost time, cost of re-work, under utilisation of assets, over/under staffing, lack of accountability, poor supervision, sickness and absence, poor procurement and supplier management to name just a few. We need a joint response by employees and customers/service users because we’re all in this paying off the national debt together.

To Cut Waste First would rally and motivate the employees and customers/service users to work together to create new and innovative solutions.

This has to be a better approach then the current way – impending demoralised staff, union confrontation and customer/service user fury.
