ENOC’s annual Business Excellence Awards highlight  AED69 million in savings through employee suggestions

 Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) hosted Annual Business Excellence Awards to honour employees for innovative ideas and contribution to achieving new benchmarks in quality and excellence. 

As part of the event, 120 employees were honoured for initiatives that enhanced operational and business efficiency, improved health & safety standards, and enhanced employee morale. Award categories included Best Management System Representative, Best Internal Quality Auditor, Best Retail Site and Best HACCP Auditor.

Since its inception, ENOC Innovate, the Group’s employee suggestion scheme, received 1,587 suggestions and helped the Group save over AED69 million through the implementation of 21 winning ideas that have contributed to ENOC’s quality standards.

In 2016, ENOC set another milestone in quality and excellence by completing migration to the updated ISO 9001: 2015 certification for Quality Management as well as the ISO 14001:2015 for Environment Management, ahead of the deadline in September 2018.  

His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, said: “Dubai is establishing itself as a knowledge-based economy as our visionary rulers implement programmes that encourage innovation and creativity. As a Dubai Government-owned organisation we are very much a part of this journey. At ENOC, innovation, quality, creativity and empowerment are part of our organisational culture. The organization’s dedication to business excellence has contributed to a continuous stream of success stories that achieved significant savings.”

Building on its commitment to innovation and quality, ENOC plans to establish an industrial innovation committee to promote a culture of innovation and encourage knowledge-exchange amongst the key players in the oil and gas industry.

ENOC has also established a new strategic initiative under the name of Process Excellence, using the help of Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) methodologies. The implemented LSS projects include reducing project lead time to design & develop new service station sites, improving fuel dispensing capability of pumps and enhancing car inspection and registration process at Tasjeel sites.

The UAE Innovation Week, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a platform to showcase various government initiatives, as well as events and activities by the government, the private sector and academic entities.
