MIAL receives CII Renovative Kaizen award
MIAL Cargo receives Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certification
May 26, 2017: A reusable dummy aircraft made from scrap, created by GVK Mumbai International Airport Pvt. Limited (MIAL) has earned it the top prize at the 30th Renovative Kaizen Conference & Competition conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
MIAL’s Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) team worked on it for 2 months so that it could be used instead of scrap bus, which represents an aircraft during the mandatory biannual emergency drill.
The team created the dummy aircraft that was first used for a realistic simulation of aircraft crash for an airport emergency drill held in March this year. The dummy aircraft has been made in such a manner that it can be reused even after being used in a fire drill exercise.
It can also be used as a simulator for other purposes like training of fire fighters.
The creation of dummy aircraft caught attention of the jury and the audience, for its purpose, skill and innovation involved in making it.
“It is indeed an honour to receive this prestigious recognition, which is a reflection of our unstinting efforts towards ensuring cost efficiency and optimum utilization of time and resources, speaking volumes about our unswerving commitment towards environmental preservation and operational performance,” MIAL spokesperson said.
“Our participation for the award was triggered after the immense appreciation we received from across the world after the mock drill exercise held in March this year. The dummy aircraft on fire had caught everyone’s attention. It was then we decided to apply for the award,” the spokesperson added.
The annual awards by the industry body are given to organizations in recognition of their contribution for continuous improvement in business processes and management.
