By: Florida Power & Light Company An FPL business client and the vice president of Production for Hoerbiger Corporation of America, Inc., Kipp was given a hands-on demonstration of how to safely cut metal cables by the employees of FPL’s Distribution team. “One of the things I noticed was the enthusiasm of the FPL employees,” said Kipp of the Expo. “The Operational Excellence’s focus on continuous improvement appears not just to be a flavor of the month here. Whether it’s an engineer or a technician or someone from Human Resources, all those I met have the same commitment to improvement. The leadership has managed to make it a culture, rather than a program.” The Expo is a companywide showcase of projects created by FPL employees to improve efficiency, reliability and safety. Welcoming thousands of people and featuring nearly 70 exhibition booths at the Juno Beach headquarters, the Expo spanned FPL’s customer-focused capabilities, ranging from advancing electric-vehicle technology to reducing power outages caused by pine and palm trees. Kipp was one of 98 business clients invited to attend the day-long event on April 27. Sponsored by FPL’s departments of Corporate Operational Excellence and Corporate Safety, the Expo is an opportunity for teams of employees to share how they've employed Six Sigma-based quality techniques to solve process problems and improve existing programs.
