Flying High and Saving Money! |
In the airline industry, T.W.A. was in trouble, and they had to find ways to cut costs. A study was conducted, and found that the lettuce garnish which was served with the meals on every flight, was not being eaten by the public, therefore was thrown away. So, it was taken off the menu. By doing this, TWA saved over a whopping $200.000 dollars per year on the cost; storage; spoilage of lettuce on all their flights. |
As shown in the two stories that follow, you don't have to be a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon, to come up with great ideas around the workplace to cut costs. Two simple ideas, which saved these two companies hundreds of thousands of dollars. * * * |
Northwest Airlines was in bankruptcy, and going under. A call from company officials went out to their employees, for their ideas as to how to save the company. In just 90 days, a stunning 50,000 ideas came pouring in from employees! Northwest had gone smokeless a few years previously, and one of those ideas, was to remove all the weighty ash trays from all the airplanes. When the weight of the ash trays was calculated and all the airplanes were figured in, it would save Northwest over 400,000 dollars per year in lower fuel costs! Amazing! A further development of this idea, would take everything off of an airplane, which was not absolutely necessary. All of us have a closet or garage from hell, stacked with junk, and an airplane is probably no different. But, the savings here is amazing! I've always been amazed at how so many, seemingly insignificant ideas, can save so much time and money. |
