Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said earlier this week that additional state agencies will undergo evaluations to identify ways to cut spending and perform their duties more efficiently.
For the last two years, several agencies, including the departments of Administrative Services, Transportation, Economic and Community Development and others, have used the process to reduce costs and processing time. Malloy did not specify which would be the next departments to be evaluated for potential cost savings.
“Lean is one of the best ways we can continue to improve service delivery even in the face of a tough budget and a challenging economy,” Malloy in a prepared statement. “By getting routine activities to function smoothly and consistently, staff time is freed up to focus on higher value tasks that are more directly linked to meeting customer needs.”
