FROM THE CHAIRMAN’S DESK ...ANNUAL REPORT 2013

It was a rewarding year at CII-IQ and we are pleased that we have increased our new products and services leading to a reasonable performance. Admittedly, manufacturing today remains the core of CII-IQ's activities, yet the Institute has already established itself as a champion of quality in education, healthcare, service sectors and the government. The journey, however, is far from over. In turn, the increasing importance of leveraging quality in areas like Retail, FMCG, Financial Services and Infrastructure to name a few sectors, has become more pronounced. The highlights of CII-IQ during 2013 included 300 companies benefitting by way of consulting; IQ Counselor's engagement was at an average of 15 days in a month; over 150 training programmes were conducted and internationally our foot prints reached SAARC, Africa, UAE and Europe. Let me delve on each of the four verticals separately: Business Excellence: Despite adverse economic and market conditions, the Business Excellence Vertical achieved a record financial performance by adopting innovative approaches, leveraging technology and large process improvements. The changes in the EFQM Excellence Model and its requirements were introduced in a seamless manner through a series of upgrade programmes using multiple forums including webinars resulting in the skilling of the entire community of practicing organizations, assessors and other users. We are extensively covered and skilled on the adoption of the revised Excellence Model requirements.

Besides expanding the excellence ‘mantra’ amongst new entrants, the year witnessed the eighth winner of the CII-EXIM Bank Award for Business Excellence and two Prize winners. Based on feedback from various stakeholders, some new offerings were launched at different levels of implementation. Benchmarking Projects would enable member organizations to benchmark and learn on Performance, Process and Practices in select areas of critical importance in today’s business context. New Programmes like Strategy Deployment Workshops, Strategy Assessments, Excellence Competition, and Social Media Networks would foster higher levels of excellence. Professional Development Programmes would help Professional Managers build capability through application based rigorous certif ication programmes for assessors and implementers. Customized Management Framework based on the EFQM Excellence Model would attract more Channel Partners and Suppliers. Tie ups with internationally reputed management institutes and universities for offering modular e-learning programmes would be the focus of the Modular Leadership Development Programme. To refine and enrich the robustness of the CII EXIM Bank Award for Business Excellence Programme, collaborating with member organization of GEM Council, like SPRING, Singapore and bringing in International assessors to take part in assessments would lend enhanced value proposition for India Inc. MSME members would be more vigorously inducted into the Award process. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) : Of the 2013 results announced by Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM), 17 of the 18 recipient companies of the TPM Excellence award were serviced by the technical team from TPM Club India of the Institute of Quality and one by JMAC, Japan. Counseling and training continued to be the main activity. For the first time, the Head Quarters of a large size company (IOCL-New Delhi) was assessed for effective TPM implementation. IOCL-HQ upon passing the assessment, has applied for the TPM Award from JIPM, Japan. New sectors / activities included the initiation of TPM Cluster

Besides, “Circle Competition” being introduced to encourage TPM practice at the shop floor, a Certification course on Lean Manufacturing was also introduced. QMS and Laboratory Management: The QMS and Laboratory Management Group of CII-IQ has been providing capacity building services to Indian Industry in the areas of Standards, quality management, quality application tools, laboratory management systems and conformity assessment for more than 2 decades. The support services are provided through trainings (both in open and in-company formats) consulting and knowledge sharing events. In the past year, QMS division conducted over 40 open and in-company trainings on a variety of subjects encompassing quality management, internal audits, quality tools and their applications, skills enhancement, laboratory management and internal audits, measurement uncertainty, risk management. More than 700 industry professionals benefitted from these trainings with the Vertical recording a growth of 29%. A one year PG Diploma Course on Quality Management for quality engineers of Bharat Forge Ltd. was successfully completed. New programmes on Enterprise Risk Management and Legal Metrology were launched. Counseling support was provided to a diverse mix of organizations such as DGFT, Air India SATS, Vizag Steel Plant, Reliance Power, Disaster Management Institute, ACMA. The Second National Laboratory Conclave was attended by over 400 laboratory professionals from across the country. A Workshop on Standards on Buildings and Construction was organized in February 2014 in collaboration with American National Standards Institute and Bureau of Indian Standards. On the policy advocacy front, CII-IQ developed the policy response to Bureau of Indian Standards Act amendment bill and made an oral submission to Parliamentary Committee on behalf of CII. The Vertical also actively contributed to several technical committees of ISO and BIS on standards related to quality management. Education Excellence: The Education Excellence

Team initiated Project Sarvottam with the Administration of Daman & Diu and Dadra Nagar Haveli to manage schools for enhancing its performance effectiveness. Already, 6 School Excellence Clusters of 10 schools each have begun their excellence journey. The Team has also been empanelled with the Central Board of Secondary Education for Effective School Management & Leadership Programme for its schools across the country. The first of its kind Teacher Online Engagement Network (TEN) was launched, dedicated to improve the K-12 learning process by documenting, disseminating and advocating innovative, replicable and evidence-based strategies that will help teachers to prepare students to thrive in their future endeavours in education, careers and adult life.

Delivering the Inaugural Address of the the CII organized 21st National Quality Summit in Bangalore, Mr Ajay Shankar, IAS, Member Secretary, National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council observed that while business cycles remained unpredictable, Indian businesses needed to adapt to be competitive in a globalised world. Identifying the paradox of islands of excellence that existed in some sectors like Auto and its components, he felt that there was no reason for manufacturing to fail. For this, the Small and Medium Enterprises, though constrained historically because of some earlier strategic policy errors, had no option but to transform themselves to survive. Success in the domestic market was a precursor to global ambitions. The Skills Mission, he felt, would bring about a synergy in the SME sector and act as a catalyst to transform the sector. Ambition, self confidence, less reliance on government and lots of ambition could transform Indian manufacturing and make it comparable to its IT success story. The Summit with the theme “Quality as the game changer in uncertain times" focused on how quality was becoming increasingly relevant across the organization from the boardroom to the shop floor and for players in both the Manufacturing and Services sectors.

In his Address, Mr T C A Ranganathan, Chairman and Managing Director, Export-Import Bank of India underlined that while India was underperforming in manufacturing and was way below its potential, it had sufficient scope for improvement. Sustainable advantage means that we need to encourage and build up our manufacturing capabilities and create a “Made in India” brand image. For this, he suggested, that the quality of output as recognized by the customer was a key differentiator for an Indian company to be a player in the global stage. Identifying the revolution in the logistics and communications sectors, he opined that excess capacity across the world would drive international competiveness and growth. These factors would pose challenges for Indian manufacturers to remain competitive.

Mr Easwaran Subramanian, Senior Director, Strategy & Operations, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India Pvt. Ltd while delivering the Theme Address emphasized that the next frontier in Quality for organizations was to ensure that were able to provide customers with excitement attributes which, if provided, would lead to customer delight.

Earlier in his Welcome Address, Mr N Kumar, Chairman, CII Institute of Quality & Past President, CII & Vice Chairman, The Sanmar Group while recalling CII’s contribution in its three decades of service to the Quality movement, expressed confidence that the Summit would not only be able to juxtapose Quality amongst the various challenges to find elegant game changing solutions but would enable participants to gain a broad understanding of the latest global trends and the impact of poor quality effecting brand erosion.

Mr L Krishnan, Past Chairman, CII Karnataka & Managing Director, Taegutec India Private Limited in his Vote of Thanks indicated that the increase in volatility of business made it imperative for organizations and leaderships to unlearn and imbibe new knowledge and skill. In this context, he recalled CII Institute of Quality’s fruitful journey in the Quality movement since 1986 and its lead role in bringing world-class operating philosophies and practices such as TQM, TPM, Lean and Six Sigma to enable Indian Industry to enlarge its focus from Product Quality to Organisation-wide Quality to aim for Business Excellence. CII-IQ he concluded would continue to play a pioneering role in identifying future trends and challenges to enable industry to gear up.

The main Summit, held on the 8th of November, also hosted a series of Master classes which were equally well attended by participants. 5 Master classes were held on the previous and subsequent day of the Summit with Mr Devender Malhotra, Chief Quality Officer and Dr Hariprasad Reddy, Head of Knowledge Management, Wipro conducting the Master class on Knowledge Management ; Dr Gopichand Katragadda, Chairman and Managing Director, GE India Technology Centre conducting the Master class on Innovation; Mr Prabhakara A N, Head, Business Excellence, BOSCH leading the Master class on Business Excellence; Ms Vishali Dongrie, Senior Director, Human Capital, Deloitte conducting a Master class on HR and Mr Manfred H. Muell, Former CEO, Mercedes Benz & CEO, Scientrix Holdings conducting a Master class on ‘Get t ing i t done . Through Col labora t ion’ .

Uncertainty- Omnipresent and across industries is not only widespread but is steadily increasing. In India it is being driven by six structural factors- macroeconomic forces, commodity-price volatility, policy instability, changing consumer dynamics, emergence of new competitors and game changing technologies. Ensuring operational flexibility through alternative sourcing options, dynamic supply chain management, lean operations and efficient working capital management would be critical in such volatile environments. Priming the organization to exploit uncertainty and prepare for mult iple future scenarios shal l be one of

market challengers as well. Manufacturing still mattered a great deal for the economic prosperity stated Mr N Kumar, Chairman, CII-IQ at the 12th Anniversary Celebrations of the CII Institute of Quality in Bangalore on 9th May 2013.

Co-creation and co-production had become buzzwords in today’s marketing environment. Although the two referred to some recent trends in the relationship between firms and consumers, they are nevertheless different. Co-creation referred to joint value creation, where customers and firms could come together to mutually exchange and create value. He emphasized that value was uniquely determined by consumers and that the firm could only have one of two roles: to either facilitate value, or to co-create (become involved in the customer’s value creation process).

Co-production, with the involvement of customers, was in product and service development. The idea was not new and had been previously used in the idea of customer orientation, customer led innovation and using lead users to innovate. Industry, he underlined, needed to be conscious of the same. CII-IQ, he said, epitomized Quality and Excellence and always strove to address people and organizations needs of continuous improvement through Business Excellence, TPM, Lean, Six Sigma, Safety, Quality Management System, Metrology, Laboratory, Risk Management, and

Mr Satyender Kumar, Former Senior VP Infosys Technologies and Technical Adviser, CII –IQ made the opening remarks in the session “Collaboration with Customer for a Win – Win” highlighting the importance of connecting to the customer. Mr G Madhavan, GM, EID Parry and his colleague Mr Nachiket Udupa, Dy Manager, EID Parry presented the case of “Cashless Farming” which is a unique practice in the Indian Agriculture industry. EID Parry has evolved a cooperative movement with farmers whom they see as suppliers as well as customers which involves interacting and engaging with them, beginning from seeding to harvest providing manure, inputs, harvesters etc. Notable is the fact that the farmer need not step out of his field for anything. Farmers get their money post 14 days of their

harvest which is an unknown in the sugar industry. This encourages the farmers to be engaged with the company for a lifetime giving importance to the relationship. They also highlighted the positive spin-off of this kind of partnership where farmers got together to help start the factory within 4 days after a cyclone struck the area completely damaging the factory. Mr Parasuraman, Sr. VP, Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts shared the “Customer Excellence through Toyota Way” experience of catering to the customers through their processes and systems.

13th TPM National Conference

CII - TPM Club India organised the 13th TPM National Conference in Chennai on the 12-13 September which was attended by over 250 participants from more than 100 companies where the Kaizen Champions of 2013 were felicitated.

Welcoming the gathering during the Inaugural session, Mr R Anantharaman Member, Manufacturing Panel CII, Chennai Zone & General Manager – Carborandum Universal Limited shared their experiences of TPM and the reason for adopting the same. Mr J Srinivasan, Board Member, TPM Club India and Mentor Director, TTK Protective Devices Ltd in his inaugural speech briefed on how TPM has benefitted his company and provided a direction for the growth. Mr Rajesh Parim, Principal Counsellor and Head, TPM Club India briefed participants of the unmatched journey of TPM Club India and how TPM grew in India.

Mr Tsutomu Nakamura, Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM), spoke about the importance of TPM, TPM Awards and its growth across the Globe, gave inputs on the different levels of awards in the TPM journey and the status of TPM practices across the world.

People form the most important and valuable asset in any company. Without them a company cannot move forward. The importance of engaging the operators positively for the development as well as “how” with TPM methodology was discussed in the session on Changes in People’s dimension through TPM from the

experiences of Tata Motors Ltd, Sanand Plant and The Supreme Industries Ltd. Hearing how TPM grows the operator from just an ordinary person to master operator of his equipm

Daily Work Management is the key essence for the successful running of a company. Effective utilization of every day is the key for the success of business. Every person in the company should be able to manage their day in a planned manner. Hindustan Coca Cola presented the importance of Daily work management, the ROUTINES and how it was integrated into the TPM activity.

ent and the process through the success story from the operator himself was a scintillating experience.

The panel discussion that followed on the topic of “Can TPM change Indian Economy if taken to all sector” was an eye opener on how TPM not only benefits the top line and the bottom line of the organization but also that of the country. The panellists spoke about “Manufacturing Economy”, “Export Economy”, ”Contribution from the office” to name a few which will definitely lead to the changing Indian economy if TPM is taken to all the sectors.

TPM philosophy is a journey. In this journey, there are many mile stones, which we can be called as the awards. How this journey from the initiation of TPM to the TPM Excellence Level Award and finally to TPM World Class Award goes to keeping the motivation high of all the employees in the company was touched upon by Mr Hiroyuki Kaneko, JMA Consultants Inc., Japan via a video conference. His presentation gave the participants an encouragement to take up TPM as a journey and to benefit from it.

Many companies feel that TPM is a shop floor activity; TPM is different from Business. The session on Board room to shop floor transformation showed how TPM as a business tool transforms the balance sheet of a company through the transformation in the shop floor initially and then how all the other departments in the company contribute to the growth and the profitability of the company. The transformation happens not only in the physical sense but the most important change that happens in the journey of TPM is the transformation in the minds of the people to look for ideas / areas which can be addressed for making the company a profitable constitution. This was aptly brought out by Carborundum Universal Ltd and Raychem RPG Ltd during the session.

The session on Organisational Economic Value Improvement through TPM saw how Aquasub Industries Ltd used the concept of Asset utilization or sweating of assets as the key for increased profitability. Return on investment is the key for a business. Increased returns are a must for the existence of the company, for the people who are working in the company and for the share holders. TPM addresses all these. This was brought out clearly during this session. There is always an anxiety amongst everyone on “What next” when a journey is being taken. The same is the case in the TPM journey. There is some information in the TPM Application Outline by JIPM. But how it is actually translated in reality and how it is to be practiced is the key. The panel discussion on “Challenging Higher levels in TPM Journey: The Indian experiences” brought out the TEXT to ACTION in a clear manner by the members of the panel.

At the beginning of the conference, 10 companies

presented their kaizens which were the winners of the previous 2 conferences conducted at Delhi and Pune. The competition was very intense and the winners were given the Kaizen Championship trophy and the Sona Kaizen Cash Award which was instituted by Dr Surinder Kapur, Founder Chairman and Managing Director, Sona Group of Companies. Mr Tsutomu Nakamura Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance, Japan presented the winners with the Kaizen Champion Trophy as well as the Sona Kaizen Cash Award of Rs.50,000/- each during the award ceremony.

feedback for improving the product design. This is the

area of vital importance for preserving Indian product

image. I am sure, Indian Industries, with its facilities,

infrastructure, and quality human resource will

constantly work towards enhancing, preserving and

nurturing brand image of the Indian products for its

quality and assured performance”, he said.

He urged the organizers of the Conclave CII and NABL to

provide support to the industry in terms of training and

development as well as by ensuring the availability of

reliable test houses and mobile lab services especially for

the MSME segments. He said for economic development,

it is essential that India step up its ranking on the Global

Innovation Index and Competition Index presently

hovering around 64 and 59 respectively. “For this we

need creative leadership across all sectors who should

give high importance to education and research”.

Dr Kalam lauded the efforts of CII Institute of Quality

and NABL, the apex accreditation body in India for

laboratories in creating a forum to share, discuss and

evolve policy on all critical and emerging issues relating

to testing and calibration laboratory practices.

The Conclave was inaugurated by Dr T Ramasami,

Secretary, Dept. of Science & Technology, Govt. of India,

who is also the Chairman of NABL. Dr Ramasami called

for the need to set benchmarks as measurements of

performance of laboratories. He said bodies like NABL

instead of relying only on the presence of resources and facilities to ensure reliable and credible results of their testing. He said innovation which is based on creativity and practices which are based on established standards, need to be pursued together in a synergetic manner for the laboratories to improve on their performance. He also stressed on the participants to discover practical solutions to problems during the Conclave rather than only discussing the issues.

Mr Anil Relia, Director, National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) briefly outlined the formation and relevance of NABL as the agency responsible for accreditation of laboratories in India. Mr N Murugesan, Director General, Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), the Guest of Honour, while emphasizing on the interdependence of laboratories, spoke about the rising expectations of customers from laboratories. Citing a live example, he cautioned about some of the malpractices being undertaken within the existing accreditation framework.

Mr S Chandrasekhar, Past Chairman, CII and Managing Director, Bhoruka Power Corporation calling for a responsible and constructive Quality Management System, suggested that effective accreditation should not lead to increase in the cost of doing business. Even a 1% error could significantly contribute to national wastage besides its lost opportunity potential, he cautioned.

The Conclave was addressed by over 50 eminent speakers. Notable speakers included Dr T Venkatesh, Lead Assessor, NABL and Advisor, Quality Council of India (QCI); Mr Jeff Gust, Chief Corporate Metrologist, Fluke Calibration, USA; Dr Sandhya Kabra, Director (Quality), Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI); Mr B Venkataram, Secretary General, QCI ; Dr Alexander Thomas, Director, Bangalore Baptist Hospital; Mr N K Kansara, Head, Central Laboratory, Bureau of Indian Standards; Mr Prabhat Kumar Gupta, Chief Scientist, National Physical Laboratory; Dr S K Saxena, Director, EIC; Mr Anil Jauhri, CEO,

Higher Education Conclave was held at Erode with the help of CII Erode Zonal Office with the theme “Enhancing Curriculum Effectiveness for 21st Century” on 21 December 2013.

There are four major challenges which confront educational institutions with regard to measurements

?How to measure curriculum effectiveness to ensure learning among every child

?How to create and optimally utilize infrastructure to enhance the student learning

?How to make effective data driven decisions through technology

?How educational practices impact the overall efficacy of the institution

Some of these challenges were addressed at the National Summit on Quality in Education organized by CII- Institute of Quality, Bangalore with the theme ‘‘Smart Measurements for a Sustainable Educational Institution’’ held on 27 - 28 September 2013 at Bangalore.

The theme highlighted the Nation’s ensuing debate on how assessments, accreditation and institutional effectiveness was forcing educational leaders, policy makers and administrators to re-examine how they should educate learners and what needs to be done. Institutions had to demonstrate their effectiveness by vigorously assessing their performance based on their strategies & practices.

NSQE attendees explored the need for measurements of the efficacy of practices in educational institutions; measurements of the effectiveness of learning spaces and assessing Institutional effectiveness for assured Quality learning and data Driven Decision making. There were

National Summit on Quality in Education

presentations of breakthrough stories by some of the brightest minds in the field about their practices in numerous facets of the educational process from science to the fine arts.

This two day Annual summit was inaugurated by Mr R V Deshpande, Hon’ble Minister for Higher Education, Government of Karnataka who shared with the audience, the various initiatives taken by Government of Karnataka to ensure access and quality to the common man. He stressed that education should build national pride, character and integrity in students. He also launched TEN (Teacher Engagement Network) first of its kind free online platform for educators to share ideas, success stories, right models and strategies in education.

‘Quality is essential for private schools. Therefore thrust and focus should be more on quality rather than finance’ said Fr Jose Aikara Chairman of CICSE while addressing the gathering. He furthered shared how the Council has taken initiatives to strengthen academics which ensures student success.

While delivering his keynote address Dr Samuel Wineburg, Director, Prof of Education and Stanford University said “History should be used to mould citizenship and students should be trained to use their minds well rather than forming opinions on propaganda based on information sourced through search engines, assuming that the information is correct.” While he shared some of his experiences in USA, he said that age old educational measurements systems must change, recognizing the change in the way new age students think.

Mr S Chandrashekhar, the summit chairman & MD Bhoruka Power Ltd stressed on the need for specific, measureable, attainable, realistic time bound measurements that would help the institutions gain sustainable growth. He highlighted the IQ initiatives and shared that more government and government aided institutions are getting into this movement and therefore deliberations on the summit theme as important.

“Connect between industry and institutions are key to success of any economy” said Fr Thomas C Mathew, Vice Chancellor of Christ University, Bangalore during his special address. He further added than CII should establish Incubation Centers in colleges to place students in the industry. He also stressed on the fact that focus on research in higher education is imperative to stay in the global market and industry should come forward to sponsor and establish the same.

CII Institute of Quality, Bangalore

The CII Institute of Quality Bangalore has been sponsored

by ABB Ltd and is spread over 4 acres of scenic land on

the western outskirts of the garden city.The Institute is a

modern piece of eye-catching architecture blending into

the hilly terrain in which it is located.

The building has been designed to be eco-friendly, with

minimum impact on the environment and using green

energy on saving technologies.

The landscaping has been designed to enhance the beauty

of the surroundings and provide a peaceful ambience

suited to an institute of learning. Some of the unique

features of the building as are follows.Passive Downdraft Environmental Cooling (PDEC)

At the very outset, CII decided to introduce

environmental cooling instead of costly and energy

hungry air conditioning. Accordingly, PEDC was

integrated into the architecture at the design stage.

This system has been developed after study of ancient

public buildings and palaces in India, which were

instrumented to record all aspects of indoor air quality.

The data recorded over a period of one year was then used

to design a CAD programme, for adaptation and design of

cooling systems for buildings. Basically, the system

consists of 15-meter tall wind catchers, which are towers

that capture and deflect airflow into a large plenum

chamber, which is located adjacent to the main building.

From the plenum chamber, the air is fed into the various

training halls.

The warm air rises and is bled away through vents. During

hot weather, micronisers, located at the top of each tower

dispense an atomized spray of water, which mixes with

the incoming air, evaporates and produces cooling.

Incoming temperatures can be thus be lowered by 100c,

which is sufficient to bring indoor air temperature into the

comfort zone. More importantly, the air being fed into the

building is always new and not re circulated. Therefore it

is always fresh and oxygen rich. No one feels sleepy and

drowsy during sessions, even after a sumptuous lunch.

About the Building

ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The entire building has been designed to use natural light.

There is no need to use power for lighting even on the

dullest day. On bright days, excess light is filtered through

specially designed blinds. Together with power saved

from air conditioning, this represents huge energy savings

during normal operation of the institute.

Water Management

Since water is not provided by the civic authorities, The

CII IQ accesses and treats ground water from bore wells to

meet its requirements. The waster used is of very good

quality and all of it is recycled through septic tanks and re-

fed into the environment through soak pits.

Rainwater falling on the building and site is also

channeled into natural reservoirs and absorbed as ground

water.

Building Materials

In order to save costs and energy, all materials in the

building have been obtained from local sources. Further,

no polished granite / marble has been used. Only eco-

friendly materials like rough granite, local stone, recycled

wood, cement and steel comprise the building. Yet, the

unique design and beautiful landscaping provide a unique

experience for the participants who come to the institute

to imbibe its ambience and learning.
