What’s Wrong? A Sampling•Doing things just to meet metrics•Too many levels of approval•Lack of communication regarding expectations•Need earlier involvement of enforcement.•Enforcement action starts with a need for more information (case manager receives referral without all necessary information). •Lack of “up front” guidance.•Sometimes waiting for respondent can add too much time, need more iterative discussions over phone.•Lack of communication.•Miscommunication between source and agency.•Is there an incentive to the source to resolve/want a resolution to an enforcement action? •Lack of support for compliance and enforcement.•Fear of negative reaction from outside the agency.•Procedural changes that occur without communication to staff.

Value Added - External• Receiving oral report at time of inspection• Receiving the inspection summary• Communicating with agency prior to issuing NOV• Correct compliance information in ECHO• Senior staff review of some enforcement cases• Receiving NOV and PAO• Ability to negotiate PAO with agency• Arriving at signed agreed order
Team Learnings – A Sample• Where do I keep my butter?• Ask what the internal and external customers need – don’t assume• Continuous process – always looking for improvement opportunities• Looking for opportunities to use waiting time for other tasks• Little things add up• Importance of organization at the beginning – having all the tools you
need• What level of security / feeling confident in our product do we need (how
many reviews for QA / QC?)• Look for the root cause – don’t hide the waste• Start with the end in mind
