Total Quality in Vigilance (27 - 29 June 2013)
INTRODUCTION:Till recently, the most common refrain of any organization was that the vigilance set-up
in the organization is more of an impediment and hindrance rather than an aid to
managerial effectiveness. However today, the perception of the organizations is
undergoing a paradigm shift and vigilance is being viewed as part of the overall risk
management strategy of an organization where structures, systems and processes are
built in such a manner so as to prevent adverse effect on productivity, profitability and
reputation. It is being increasingly recognized that, vigilance in any government, public or
private sector is like any other function of management, such as finance, personnel,
materials management, contracts, quality control etc. and is thus an integral part of
administration. All functions of the organization work in coordination to improve overall
effectiveness and to achieve objectives for sustained success of the organization. It is
therefore imperative that executives from vigilance and other functions are exposed to this aspect of Management for Total Quality in their respective areas of work.

Training Needs Analysis & Impact Evaluation from 16 – 18 July 2013

passage of time, they tend to lose their cutting edge and become complacent and
lackadaisical. Human resources need to be constantly honed, trained and updated in
order to keep them fighting fit and to reap the desired benefits from their deployment.
Human Resource Development is a constant on-going effort in this direction. It is
mandatory to know Training Needs of the organization and to assess and evaluate the
impact of training efforts. For the employees, training is a process of conscious learning
to improve the level of performance.

and development to be effective, the following must be in place:
• Integration of training into overall strategic framework and partnership with key
players and decision makers,

Quality & Reliability Assurance of Equipment & Systems 12 – 14 August 2013,
INTRODUCTION:Reliability is concerned with the performance of a product over its entire life time,
quality control is concerned with the performance of a product at one point in time,
usually during the manufacturing process. As stated in the definition, reliability assures
that components, equipment and systems function without failure for desired periods
during their whole design life, from conception (birth) to junking (death). Quality control
is a single, albeit vital, link in the total reliability process. Quality control assures
conformance to specifications. This reduces manufacturing variance, which can
degrade reliability. Quality control also checks that the incoming parts and
components meet specifications, that products are inspected and tested correctly, and
that the shipped products have a quality level equal to or greater than that specified.
The specified quality level should be one that is acceptable to the users, the consumer
and the public.
No product can perform reliably without the inputs of quality control because quality
parts and components are needed to go into the product so that its reliability is
assured. The programme addresses practical pathways towards manufacturing cost
reduction through product quality and reliability improvement. It explores ways to reduce or eliminate the impact of life limiting failure mechanism in design and manufacturing processes

Information Security Management System ISO 27001 : 2005 - Lead Auditor Training 02 – 06 Sept. 2013
INTRODUCTION:Empowerment of public at large due to current exponential technology advancement in the
Information Technology field has simultaneously thrown challenges to the organizations to
safeguard its vital information to protect its business interests and also avoid exploitation by
the vested interests. Most organizations have a number of information security controls in
operation which specifically address certain aspects of IT or data structure leaving non-IT
information assets (such as paperwork and proprietary knowledge) less protected on the
whole. Therefore without a systematic management of information, the controls tend to be
disorganized and disjointed.
ISO/IEC 27001:2005 – Information technology – Security techniques – Information security
management systems – Requirements , formally specifies a management system that is
intended to bring information security under explicit management control. Being a formal
specification means that it mandates specific requirements. Organizations that claim to have adopted ISO / IEC 27001 can therefore be formally audited and certified compliant with the standard.
