Urinal and Process Controls
In the operations management class today, the Professor talked about process control.There was a short discussion where the students discussed how proper controls can be implemented to reduce wastage, improve quality and increase efficiency.

Here is something that the Prof then showed us :He showed the below picture that is at the the Urinals of Amsterdam Airport.This fixture from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol depicts a "fly target" embossed on the porcelain.

In Amsterdam, the tile under Schiphol's urinals would pass inspection in an
operating room. But nobody notices. What everybody does notice is that each
urinal has a fly in it. Look harder, and the fly turns into the black outline of
a fly, etched into the porcelain. It improves the aim. If a man sees a fly, he
aims at it. Fly-in-urinal research found that etchings reduce spillage by 80%.
It gives a guy something to think about. That's the perfect example of process
control.

Other urinal that became extremely popular during the Soccer World Cup are the Wee Goals.
