The University of West Georgia’s Department of Campus Planning and Facilities is being recognized for their continuous improvement process. This department recently received the FMXcellence Award from Building Operating Management Magazine, the first time this award has been awarded.

The department received this award for their efforts in applying Lean Six Sigma methodologies to their continuous improvement process.

Building Operating Management Magazine created the FMXcellence Recognition Program to acknowledge facilities management, teams that embrace and respond to their organization’s initiatives. The magazine praised FM departments whose goal is sustainability, cost cutting, a shift in corporate culture or attracting customers or new employees.

UWG applied for the award in October 2009. In March 2010, UWG was recognized at the National Facilities Management and Technology Conference in Baltimore, Md.

UWG’s Michael Renfrow participated in a panel discussion on the success of the Lean Six Sigma and the continuous improvement methodologies in facilities management.

“Campus Planning and Facilities is very pleased to be recognized for their continuous improvement efforts that led to improved efficiencies and cost reductions,” said Dan Lewis of Campus Planning and Facilities.

Upon accepting the FMXcellence Award, honorees will be featured in the April issue of Building Operating Management Magazine. UWG recognizes the Department of Campus Planning and Facilities for their hard work and effort.
