Dubai Airport... A 5S Experience

Most companies promoting and embarking on TPM look far and wide searching for a Benchmark to follow. The very first thing to look for is a company that implements to the core 5S. Well, the best place to look for is an Airport. Yes, you read it right...Airport. It is the best place to start as a baseline for world-class 5S (with Visual Controls) Implementation.

I have been to different places the world over. have been all over Asia, Europe, and the USA. Thus, I have seen many different airports. And this I can claim. Nothing beats the immensity and cleanliness of Dubai International Airport. It is build to last and built to have least maintenance and cleaning. That's the real essence of 5S TPM. Cleanliness and Maintainability that is designed in. On top of that, Visual Controls are super. You exactly know where you are , what approximate minutes you can reach your next point, and there is absolutely no hazards, or plainly, the place is very safe.

So, when you think of doing a benchmarking outside the country, do not just benchmark the final destination or company you will visit, but, benchmark what you see in the airport. And if you have a chance, go to Dubai to see for yourself the best 5S Experience....

God bless!
