Featured Story

This past winter, Business Affairs completed a process improvement project that will reduce time spent on invoicing and cost accounting for snow removal on the Charles River Campus by 80 hours per year. After looking into the snow removal invoice process, they realized that a shopping cart needed to be created for each of the 48 snow removal locations on campus. By consolidating the process by vendor, rather than location, the team was able to reduce the number of shopping carts from 48 to 3, along with significantly reduce the number of invoices processed by Accounts Payable and Facilities. Using the ten year average of 17 snow incidents per year, this will reduce the annual removal invoices from 765 to 50. Nice work, team!
