NEW DELHI: As a commentary on conducive government support and post-1990 reforms in policies, five Indian companies are among 32 global corporate conglomerates, which recently have successfully contested into the final rounds of the global competition of Team Quality Excellence in management, instituted by American Society for Quality (ASQ), the world’s largest network of quality resources and experts based in Milwaukee, USA. They excelled in the Manufacturing, Service and Education sectors.
The competition is the 27th Annual International Team Excellence Awards process of ASQ. The competition covers five domains e.g., Education, Manufacturing, Services, Healthcare and Governance. Three in the manufacturing, one (and the lone) institute in Education and one in Service sectors.
Three companies in Manufacturing are Reliance Industries Ltd. Dahej (Gujarat), Reliance Industries Ltd. Hazira, (Gujarat), and Suzlon Energy Limited, Pune (Maharashtra). The three Indian companies are among the 15 which pipped over a few hundred companies, which contested, and which implement the Baldrige criteria in performance excellence in management.
In the Service sector HCL Technologies, Chennai (Tamil Nadu) is among the nine companies making to the final rounds.
In the Education sector, the successful contestant is one institute, and that also is an Indian organization, Ramaiah Institute of Management Studies,Bangalore(Karnataka).
This recognition matters for Quality-conscious companies, which aim to attain both growth targets as well as high-level international recognition.
China, one of the first countries where ASQ’s Baldrige criteria were successfully applied and practiced, along with War-II devastated Japan, could groom only one of its conglomerates to the required level of Performance Quality Excellence in the Manufacturing sector.
The finalists have since been invited to participate in the 2012 International Team Excellence Award contest. The finalist teams will undergo Quality impact sessions and live case-study presentations between May 21 to May 23 at ASQ’s annual World Conference on Quality and Improvement at the Anaheim Convention Centerin Anaheim, Calif.
