We're never done. Success in competitive markets requires constant improvement.
Ours is a culture of ongoing improvement, and our efforts to increase productivity are deep and widespread. Over the last two years, we've significantly improved our cost structure. This year, we're investing in initiatives that will make us even more efficient - including rebuilding our information technology infrastructure and revising and streamlining our policies, practices and processes.
At our generating plants, our initiatives work toward reducing the duration of outages and increasing the reliability, availability, and capacity of our plants.
In 2003, our high-performance teamwork and meticulous planning enabled us to replace a steam generator at our Calvert Cliffs plant in 66 days. That set a new world record for steam generator replacements, while minimizing the plant's down time.
Incorporating lessons learned and striving to implement best practices has long been a part of the way we do business. And programs like Six Sigma - a rigorous, managed process that puts the power to make changes in our employees' hands - is helping us do even more. Our goal is best in class, top quartile in all measures. And that means always improving what we do.
