Emirates Aluminium (EMAL) has picked up two awards at the Dubai Quality Group’s (DQG) World Quality Day.
Representing a joint venture between Mubadala and Dubai Aluminium, the EMAL Business Systems Team received the silver award in the Quality Quiz category, and EMAL Power Plant Maintenance Team picked up a bronze in the Innovation category with their case study – ‘Enhance life of Gas Turbine Air inlet Filters’.
Case studies were submitted by the company to prove its success in continual improvement and innovation, and it was chosen based on the application of methodologies such as Lean, European Foundation for Quality Model (EFQM), Kaizen, Six Sigma, Reengineering, and innovation in products and services.
“For our employees to be recognised in not one, but two categories in the first year of operations is outstanding, and a good indication that our ambitions as part of the capital’s 2030 plan are on track and destined for success,” said Saeed Fadhel Al Mazrooei, president and CEO, EMAL .
Held globally on the second Thursday of November every year, World Quality Day is celebrated locally by DQG, created by the Dubai Department of Economic Development.
It is a non-profit organisation of 2,000 individuals representing over 380 prominent organisations from both the private and the public sectors.
“EMAL is a major component of the capital’s 2030 Vision, and with the support of our shareholders, we intend to become the aluminium market’s supplier of choice both locally and globally, in line with the ambitious goals set by Abu Dhabi,” added Al Mazrooei.
