The initial project of National Aviation Services Kuwai (NAS) and Kuwait University was to have some students study the high turnaround of employees at NAS.
With the right guidance, the students went down to work. Using the Cause and Effect Approach method the students presented a number of solutions to improve human resource functions and also gave the management a SWOT Analysis with a process map on the way forward.
NAS was so impressed with the work of the students that it decided to sponsor the selected students to a Six Sigma training course.
As a reward NAS will also be sponsoring the students in attending the world renowned Six Sigma Development program. The program that has been developed by Motorola university has been designed to improve business performance and companies all over the world use the program to enhance customer satisfaction, maximize process efficiencies, increase competitive advantage & market share and make savings on operating expenses.
“As a local company that is expanding at a rapid pace, we lay a huge emphasis on corporate social responsibility and this includes encouraging the local youth to pursue exciting careers in the fields of aviation, medicine, IT, engineering and business,” commented Eng. Naji Al-Ajmi, CEO of NAS who was present at the ceremony at which the students were presented with certificates in addition to the Six Sigma Sponsorships to commemorate the completion of their training. “It was a pleasure for us to have these young people in our midst and we are glad they got to learn a little about our business. We will definitely look into their finding and recommendations and we wish them the very best in their endeavors in the future,” he concluded.
To me the gesture of NAS is commendable. It’s good to start them young so that when these students get out of university, they bring with them the concept of quality and continuous improvement.
