SHEQing the Potential Holistically for Power

Yes, India is very poorly managed at many places. One such case was targeted for analysis through this paper. That is regarding the (electrical) power production through Thermal Power plants, based on coal, transported over long distances into disparate states. While plethora of ash transported along the road (rail) leads to Fuel misuse, the ash dumping has proved to be excessively harmful and carcinogenic.

The solution was simple. Remove the cause, and the effects are automatically taken care.
Discover the potential for judicious energy management. If it is not easy ’shake it’. SHEQing is a termed coined by the author of this paper/ blog ( in 1997).

Abstract:
The journey to Quality World passes through the imperative of upgradation of the Quality of World. Thanks to the Gurus the embryo of good Quality was installed, and it sustains at a pace which though small, continues to accelerate. It must cross a threshold to be noticed.

The journey is however subject to some interim assessments. One is the Deming’s application prize and its senior versions. The merit list demonstrates the success achievable and achieved by Indian companies. It sustains to continue too. Following such contribution by a not so developed nation (both in terms of Quality and Technology) if each ensemble of the world attempts to contribute harmoniously to the cult of Quality, it is sure that Quality (of) World will be assured. If you are aligned, read on.

Mentoring students or children is always a tough task. But if the child is put on-perfectly- over a path to success, half the job is done (which implies: Well begun is half done). A good process control in Gita- the holy Hindu guidebook- means aligning of Karma to a higher order task. Presumably, a well honed process indeed be resorted to while rearing a child, the success of an academe is in understanding and application of popular six sigma tool DMAIC (define, measure, analyse, improve and control). Setting up of a DMAIC for obviating bad results was argued in previous part “It is a Bad-Bad result ( QW, May 2009)”. To continue the ‘Improvement’..read on…

Tribune News Service

Attended by 36 participants from various foundries, pharmaceutical, acrylics and chemical manufacturing units etc, the workshop, first of its kind in the region, was jointly organised by the Institute of Indian Foundrymen and International Certification Limited.

Mr Bains explained how the mobil oil replacement system for generating sets was deferred for more than three months during the implementation of ISO 14000 standards.

Addressing the participants, Prof P. Thareja of the Metallurgical Engineering Department, Punjab Engineering College, stressed the need for quality equipment, energy, enviornment, quality management, reduction of waste and austerity.

Talking of eight principles of quality management and three principles of enviornment, Mr Sunil Thaman, associate vice-president, International Certifications Limited, spoke about the importance of leadership teamwork and the factual approach to decision making as tools for profitable business management.

Mr Ram Nath, general manager, SIDBI, said unless business management was linked with enviornment management, the industry would not be able to survive in the days to come. He reiterated that recycling and waste management activities were very essential for any organisation.

Mr Viney Kumar, honorary secretary of the Institute of Indian Foundrymen, proposed a vote of thanks.
