...have implemented TQM include Ford Motor Company, Phillips Semiconductor, SGL Carbon, Motorola and Toyota Motor Company. TQM views an organization as a collection of processes. It maintains that organizations must strive to continuously improve these processes by incorporating the knowledge and experiences of workers. The simple objective of TQM is "Do the right things, right the first time, every time". TQM is infinitely variable and adaptable. Although originally applied to manufacturing operations, and for a number of years only used in that area, TQM is now becoming recognized as a generic management tool, just as applicable in service and public sector organizations. There are a number of evolutionary strands, with different sectors creating their own versions from the common ancestor. TQM is the foundation for activities, which include: * Commitment by senior management and all employees * Meeting customer requirements * Reducing development cycle times * Just In Time Manufacturing * Quality Circles * Employee involvement and empowerment * Recognition and celebration * Challenging quantified goals and benchmarking Elements of TQM: 1. Continual Improvement: This is the philosophy that seeks to make never-ending improvement to the process of converting input into output.It covers equipment, methods, materials and people.The concept was not used even few years back. But now it is very popular both in U.S.A and Japanese Companies. In...

Karthik Balaji I t has very nearly been 66 years since we, as one nation, took the reins of our destiny in our own hands. And while that still places us as a relatively young democracy (the US, for example, signed the declaration of independence in 1776), the fact that the first generation born after that fateful midnight has now started retiring is a noteworthy milestone. As a people who use the same word for tomorrow as for yesterday, keeping track of the passage of time and the changes it brings along is not something we are very adept at. The vastness and the diversity of this nation make this task no easier. With a colourful and noisy population, India is perhaps the perfect example of what anthropologist Edward Hall described as a “high-context” society. Such societies are marked by an environment of familiarity and universally-shared polite fiction, where a lot goes unsaid, or is said in just a few words. As a result, much is left to be implicitly understood from context. This inevitably makes the modern historian’s job even tougher, especially given the vagueness and the flowery sense of political correctness of any recorded letter or conveyed opinion. The welcome emphasis in our foreign investment policy on efficient and competitive domestic manufacturing will serve multiple objectives...

...to boost the domestic manufacturing industry and attract foreign investors to invest into the Indian economy. The intention is to revive manufacturing businesses and emphasizing key sectors in India and to address the growing concerns that most entrepreneurs are moving out of the country due to its low rank in ease of doing business ratings. Current scenario: The “Make in India” initiative is based on four pillars, which have been identified to give boost to entrepreneurship in India, not only in manufacturing but also other sectors. The four pillars are: * ‘Make in India’ recognizes ‘ease of doing business’ as the single most important factor to promote entrepreneurship. * Government intends to develop industrial corridors and smart cities, create world class infrastructure with state-of-the-art technology and high-speed communication. * FDI has been opened up for new sectors like Defense production, Insurance, Medical Devices, and Construction and Railway infrastructure in a big way. * In order to partner with industry in economic development of the country Government shall act as a facilitator and not a regulator. Manufacturing currently contributes just over 15% to the national GDP. The aim of this campaign is to grow this to a 25% contribution as seen with other developing nations of Asia. In the process, the government expects to generate jobs, attract much foreign direct investment, and transform India into a manufacturing hub preferred around...

...Globalization and changes of middle class essay Topic: Are middle class Victims or Winners of globalization The term ‘middle class,’ it is a vague word as the concept and the meaning of it has been changed over time. For example, in medieval era Europe, the classification of social classes was based on the descent such as nobles and peasants. The nobles in England were classified as high class even though they were lack of wealth. However, the peasants were not able to become high class no matter how wealthy they were, so the classification of peasants with wealth was classified as middle class. As the time flew and when the capitalism has taken place instead of hierarchy, the classification of middle class has changed once more which is mainly classified by the person’s occupation and the wealth the person has. For example of United Kingdom in 1911, the middle class was the class that falls between the upper class and the working class which are professionals, managers, and senior civil servants. However, nowadays, as the economy and technology has developed in fast pace, the definition of the middle class have changed once again that is determined according to the income level of a person. According to The Economics in February 2009, the definition of the middle classes is the people who have a reasonable income with stable job occupation. The Economics also pointed out that the number of middle classes has exploded from 1980s to 2000s. What can be the reason of such a...
