Brakes India and Max New York Life Win Six Sigma Award at 3 CII National Conference & Competition on Six Sigma
India’s top automotive components manufacturing firm Brakes India and private Insurance major Max New York
Life bagged the 2009’s coveted CII Institute of Quality’s Six Sigma award for initiating process improvements and
variation reduction through the application of quality tools in its pan India operations. By applying the improvement
tools both the firms were able to streamline various processes and bring about drastic changes both internally and
at the customer-end.
73 participants from 43 organisations attended the two-day
prestigious National Conference and Competition on Six Sigma,
organized by CII Institute of Quality, with India Inc. pitching for
Innovation through quality improvements across domains so as
to beat the recession.
Inaugurating the two-day conference at the picturesque CII-IQ
centre on the outskirts of Bangalore, Mr K V Rama Mohan,
Group Head, IMS and BPO, Infosys Technologies Ltd. observed
that “there is an immediate need to standardize Six Sigma
Quality Concept so as to apply the tools more effectively to
bring out changes in the process.” Since different companies
interpret the Six Sigma concept in different ways, he called upon
agencies and institutes like CII-IQ to bring in a standardized
format so that the element of confusion and vagueness in
applying this concept is completely eliminated. A word of
caution was also sounded by Mr Amitabh Saxena, CEO Anexas
over the use of Six Sigma concept as a concurrent tool to bring
in changes. He said that once Six Sigma is rolled out no other
quality tool like TMP, TQM or Lean should be engaged
concurrently as it tends to hamper the end result.

Like TPM, TQM, Lean or Kaizen, Six Sigma is also a quality tool which primarily aims at reducing variations and
streamlining various processes to achieve a product or service that is high on quality and satisfies the end-
customer. Principal Counsellor and Head of CII-IQ Mr P Girish said that it is paramount for every company to
ingrain the element of quality in every process that they initiate. He said that “at this hour, only Business
Excellence will facilitate companies to quickly overcome the worst recession as this will help in pruning costs
thereby improving bottomline and the quality of products and services.”
This year, 22 top organisations like TCS, Infosys, ICICI, HSBC, Sundram Fasteners, Brakes India among others,
vied for the coveted trophy awarded annually by CII-IQ. In all there were 46 entries of which only 22 were selected
for the competition broadly categorized under three segments –Bulk Materials and Utilities, Transactional Process
and Discrete manufacturing. Each organisation made a presentation showcasing how the Six Sigma tools were
applied to bring about visible changes in the re-engineering processes ultimately resulting in not only reducing
variations, but also dolling out zero-defect products or services to the end-customers.
The three-member jury comprising Mr Hitesh Kakkar, Godrej & Boyce Co., Mr D Ravindran, Vestas and Mr
Malolan Sarangapani, Cognizant Technologies had a tough time zeroing on the firms as many were hot
contenders for the top honours. Five broad selection criteria were set –effective use of tools, culture of Six Sigma
across the company, benefits accrued; innovations and the way the presentation were made to the jury. While
Discrete (Brakes India) and Transaction (Max New York Life) segments received awards, the jury felt that no
company fitted the process for Bulk Materials. While handing over the awards Deputy Chairman of CII-IQ Mr M
Lakshminarayan hinted that over the next five years, India is all set to witness dramatic and radical change as
many companies have already put in quality tools into place. To make the quality movement even better, he
provided a tip to India Inc. by saying that “at the point of design apply the quality tools which automatically will
produce quality products or services.”

National Summit on Quality in Education23-24 October, 2009 : Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai
Concept Paper
Just like leaders in business and industry, educators across the nation are trying to meet the fast-changing needs
and expectations of the student community. In order to develop capable, ‘thinking youth’ –the future force of the
nation, the role of educators is now gaining immense credence. Improving access and Quality at all levels of
education is now the priority area not only with the central and state Governments but also the onus now lies with
private institutions as well. Gandhiji once said ‘True education must correspond to the surrounding circumstances
or it is not a healthy growth’. While government has chalked out plans to scale up education programmes across
the nation with many initiatives like SSA, RMSA, National Knowledge Commission, the introduction of Right to
Education Bill etc, a few of the private institutions are actively pitching in also to reach out to those who are away
from the mainstream. This has coerced CII Institute of Quality (CII-IQ) to look at bringing about a new perspective
to enhance the Quality of education across the nation since last decade. It is time that Education sector moves into
the expansion mode and is equally scaled up to be more inclusive so as to reach out to a larger chunk of the Indian
population and achieve atleast functional literacy in the next few years.
Challenges
Few questions which always has been haunting the stakeholders of education mainly relates to :
Providing Education for all
While providing access retaining Quality
Can assessments, certifications and accreditations assure delivery of Quality education in Institutions
What are some of the models/innovations already tried across the nation and are being tried
Can technology help scale up Quality education across nation
What are scalable models tried in other sectors and the learning’s that can be emulated.
Some of reasons cited are the fact that immediately after New Economic Policy (NEP) reforms were introduced, the
government allowed massive capacity creation with bare minimum Quality standards put in place. The capacity
creation in the last 15 years has been phenomenal and quite unprecedented growth giving rise to a number of
thorny issues. This important aspect should form the focus as to how excellence in primary/higher education
sectors should become a mission in order to salvage the education sector and to also re-invent it holistically so that
top-end human resource capital keeps pace with the high growth that India is currently positioned at. Another
reason is India’s education sector suffers from a yawning gap in funds as also due to archaic regulatory
mechanisms, poor Quality and low efficiency.
Education Policy also has been the biggest stumbling block to excellence in higher education. It is based on the
Constitutional provision that education should be a charitable activity. While the government and philanthropic
individuals take up the cause of education with deep pockets as a non-profit activity, the question whether
education sector be opened to entrepreneurs as an ‘economic activity’ be liberalised, should also be pondered up
to bring about a paradigm shift in this mission critical sector. Liberation of the sector to attract private domestic and
overseas investments on a large scale is the key to access, affordability and equity. Worldwide experience
indicates that capacity creation and Quality, happening in tandem, will serve the interest of the nation much better
and moving in unilateral direction. Says C K Prahalad: “If India@75 fails to become a global leader the only reason
for that failure will be Indians themselves. Nobody from outside is stopping us from succeeding. So this
transformation is not about resources. It is about our confidence in building a new India. If we cannot imagine this
India we cannot create it. Imagination and belief in India’s true destiny is what we need. We need the passion, the
courage and certainly an enormous dose of humanity and humility.”
Precisely to address these very issues HRD Ministry has proposed several Legislative, Policy and Administrative
initiatives in it ‘First 100 Days Document’ to bring about some semblance of parity and uniformity in the way
education sector is imparted and governed in India. Prominent among them being the establishment of an
autonomous authority for Higher Education and research based on the recommendation of Yashpal Committee
and NKC and also propose a law for mandatory assessment and accreditation in higher education through an
independent regulatory authority. On the Policy front the government is looking at setting up of a brain-gain
initiative to attract talent from across the world to the existing and new institutions and also launch a new distance
learning initiative. As far as Administrative initiatives are concerned the government is aiming at implementing
academic reforms by reviewing semester system and regular revision of syllabi and also looking at opening 100
new polytechnics in districts without any polytechnics across India. Changes in the educational sector have to be
effected quickly and seamlessly in the next 15 years if India has to compete and position itself as a “global player”.
It has a yeoman task of preparing over 700 million globally employable workforce, comprising 200 million university
graduates and 500 vocationally skilled people.
As a key beneficiary of the education services CII has embarked on many initiatives to bring about ‘Quality in
Education in India’. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an environment
conducive to the growth of Indian industry; partnering industry, academia and Government alike through advisory
and consultative process. It aims to enhance the competitiveness of all the key sectors of the economy, which
impacts the growth of the country.
One such concerted effort is from CII’s Institute of Quality, Bangalore which has been advocating the delivery of
Quality of education in the nation for over a decade. In pursuance of this goal CII IQ, hosting its twelfth edition of
the National Summit on Quality in Education at Chennai with the theme ’Quality Education: Scalable with
Inclusiveness’.
With these deliberations the path for Indian education Quality journey can be tread with small steps but with a
purpose of urgency.
“All education in a country has got to be demonstrably in promotion of the progress of the country in which it is
given”

continuous improvement. This aspect will not only help the nation

First APPL – CII Tea Cluster upgraded to International Food Safety Standards and certified to ISO 22000
The Amalgamated Plantations Private Ltd (APPL)-CII Tea cluster was the first proud recipient of the coveted ISO
22000 Accredited Food Safety certification in the Tea Sector, from DET NORSKE VERITAS -DNV, for 4 of its
Orthodox estates, Achabam TE, Borhat TE, Chubwa TE and Nahorani TE in Assam. The group has 24 estates
within Assam and Bengal and produces 41 M kgs of tea. The factories have been upgraded to meet stringent
international requirements for food safety.
Mr. D Borah, ED of APPL noted that behind the successful certifications to ISO22000 was a great amount of
diligence and team work. The factories have undergone changes to improve processes and hygiene with
evidenced reduction of spillage during processing. This process required wide employee Involvement and
promotion of a culture of sharing Best Practices for continual improvement. He believes that APPL’s decision to
engage CII Institute of Quality had facilitated the journey to excellence, starting with Food Safety and Quality.
The ‘Individual estate Certificates’ would be handed over to the 4 APPL Estates in Assam during separate
ceremonies within the coming week and the company plans to upgrade another six estates within the current
financial year. The rest of the estates would be made ISO 22000 compliant within 2011.

Healthcare Redefined: Source to cureNeed for a change in mindset towards healthcare
Redefining the frontiers of healthcare, Shri Dinesh Trivedi, Hon’ble Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare,
speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry Life Science Conclave 2009, stressed on the preventive rather
than solely focusing on curative measures. Water, education, environment etc. are all integral part of a healthy
nation and formed a part of “right to life.” Mr Trivedi also stressed on the need to strengthen diagnostic centers in
the country acknowledging the frugal healthcare spending of the central government in the healthcare segment.
Mr Dinesh Trivedi, Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare speaking at the Inaugural
of the Life Science Conclave 2009
Though “India is on the threshold of new challenges with the new intellectual property regime” he emphasized the
need for a change in the international and national attitude and mindset towards Indian healthcare as it continues
to have the requisite knowledge and skills as well as the market. He also suggested a novel e-healthcard system
to document the complete medical history of all citizens down to the village level.
Appreciating the various sessions of the Conclave, he invited CII to partner the Ministry in organizing similar
conclaves at the rural and regional level and help evolve a roadmap for implementation in the PPP mode through
the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM).While unveiling the Special Issue of the CII Pharma Communiqué, he
appreciated CII’s efforts of bringing together this very informative publication.
He took a wide range of questions including overlapping and cooperation between different ministries and
departments relevant to the health sector and quality regulations.
Dr V M Katoch, Secretary, Department of Health Research & Director General, Indian Council of Medial
Research, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India while speaking about India’s wealth of
knowledge, underlined the need for removing the “bottlenecks” to convert this knowledge into products with further
industry and academic co-operation. He also stressed the need for further inter- ministerial co-operation among the
various government departments.
Recounting the inherent advantages of the Indian Pharma Industry like an accountable judicial system, English as
the language of communication and a proper regulatory regime besides the cost advantage, Dr Anand Burman,
Chairman, CII National Committee on Biotech and Chairman, Dabur India also spoke of the constrains of
infrastructure, poor roads, acute power shortages and inadequate number of trained medical staff as constraining
factors in the future development of the Indian Pharmaceutical industry.
Citing the strategic importance of India in the pharmaceutical sector, Mr Bruce Ross, Country Director, India, US
Food and Drug Administration reiterated the US government’s commitment to continue its trusting relationship with
regulatory counterparts in other countries, such as India. Mr Ross said that India has the largest number of FDA
approved drug manufacturers outside the U.S with $1.38 billion of exports to the US market in 2007 –08 growing at
39%.
Concluding the Inaugural Session, Dr Y S Rajan, Principal Advisor, CII spoke of the new opportunities that existed
in the wide bio-diversity in India.
The 2 day Conclave was attended by 350 delegates. The Conclave featured 6 Sessions, 3 panel Discussion and
