Quality Management forPersonal and Organizational Growth

(December 2-4, 2013)

Programme Co-ordinator:Prof. Hitesh Bhatt

Too many people accept scrap, rework, delays, and missed deadlines asnormal. This attitude can be changed, if managers are motivated to paymore attention to the systems and processes, for which they areresponsible. A process essentially transforms inputs into outputs, someof which are desirable and some not. In order to ensure that we havemore desired outputs and fewer rejects and products requiring re-work,we will have to shift the focus from managing the end product tomanaging the processes that deliver a product.

The process management approach appreciates variations in people(person to person and within person from time to time), variations inbought-out and in-process materials, variat ions in machinery andequipment, variations in methods, variations in environment – bothphysical and psychological – and variations in measurement systems.The goal of process management is to break down an organization’sactivities into processes and monitor them in order to align them withits strategic goal of remaining competitive. Understanding the conceptsof quality management can possibly help a person lead a better life asone can undergo a paradigm shift (personal transformation) whilelooking at everything around one’s self.

Contents

What is quality? How to attain it? How to retain it?

How does an organization adopt qual ity principles, achieveproduct/service qualities, retain it, and improve upon it?

How to develop the mindset for quality?

What is quality management?

It has scaled itself fromlocal to global and includes multiple actors like MNCs, Civil SocietyOrganizations, and the State. The contemporary focus is on whether,through CSR development, challenges can be met and issues such asenvironment and climate change, social welfare, global poverty, humanrights, and labour standards be addressed. At the level of a firm, thebusiness case for conducting a CSR is often made by invoking argumentsrelated to enhanced competitive advantage, good corporate reputation,positive investor relations and more l icence to operate, better staffattraction, retention, and morale. On the other hand, this spurt in the‘new’ CSR has been linked with the advent and spread of Neoliberalism.The business case of doing CSR has been critiqued on grounds of beingmerely a public relations tool to enhance the company image. The failureto provide any guidance in conflictual interest situations such as corelabour rights including freedom of association, rights of indigenouscommunities in case of extractive industries, and the absence of gender,class and race issues in CSR initiatives, are other significant lines ofcritiques.

WELCOME TO IRMA The Institute Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA) was founded in 1979 by the National Dairy Development Board with the support of the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat. Beginning with providing management training and research support to the co-operatives in the dairy sector, IRMA currently extends its services to a wide variety of organisations: co-operatives in oilseeds, fruit and vegetables, credit, sugar, handlooms, and handicrafts sectors; voluntary/non-governmental organisations; and governmental and quasi-governmental bodies. The core of IRMA’s operating philosophy is that the partnership between rural people and committed professional managers is the basis of sustainable rural development. IRMA’s two year Post-Graduate Programme in Rural Management (equivalent to a Masters Programme) has been established as one of the reputed ‘young development management professionals programme.’ A one year Certificate Programme in Rural Management, Fellow Programme in Rural Management, Certificate Programme in Dairy Management, and several short duration Management Development Programmes attract some 600 managers to the campus from India and abroad.
