The Environmental Protection Agency plans to work with Toyota Motor Corporation to overhaul internal management practices at the agency, Administrator Scott Pruitt said Thursday. “We are actually partnering with Toyota to begin a lean process at the agency to evaluate management practices,” Pruitt said. “EPA, in conjunction with other federal agencies, is working to deploy lean management practices that eliminate waste and deliver measurable results,” an EPA spokeswoman told HuffPost. “We’ve seen a pattern with this EPA cozying up to industry,” Anair told HuffPost. “I don’t see anything wrong with learning from the private and public sectors from good management techniques,” Janet McCabe, the former acting assistant administrator at the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, told HuffPost.
