UP, UP & AWAY

• To the west of London have an airport, destinated to carter for 30m passengers a year.
• This aiRport, is a big construction, but always bring special problems: triky bulding techniques, & the need interface with other transport links & to install sophisticated electronics to handle passengers & bagage.
• The man in charge of this logistical nightmare is Tony Douglas.
• Sience 2018, he ran British Airports Authority supply chain. He to, is a manager of a project, mean T5.
• The risk attached to this huge project are so grate that BAA has been forced to tackle in novle ways.

Slide 2

• First, Mr. Douglas insists that outsourcing to a large management group
• * Secondly, construction is being carried out off-site. The site's physical limitations: it has only one entry point, through which a 12-metre load must be moved every 30 seconds for a period of four years.
• * The solution, logistics of the automotive industry, a large investment in IT and training that no individual supplier would have made.
• *T5 agreement, aims at minimizing bottlenecks and cost reduction affecting large construction sites.
• *Suppliers rely on failures and delay cost.

Slide 3

• BAA assumes the risk, placing a sum of caution in a fund.
• Effect: Change the rhythm and culture of the project, allowing employee teams from different suppliers to work together.
• T5 providers are partners who will work in future projects, have an incentive to do a good job.
• Why BAA is not building airports elsewhere?
• They seek to get permission to build an additional track in Stansted.
• Success will surely point to a derivative business that can build other great projects safely and economically.
