摘要
WSSC made a significant change to the way it manages the largest single material in its water network- pipe. As part of this process change, WSSC selected an innovative pipe coating method and improved its procurement practices. The thoughtful planning and dedicated efforts of this process improvement have created a series of positive outcomes, including procuring the most suitable pipe material, determining ways to protect that pipe once it was in the ground, and spending less money throughout the process.
