Workshop on Integrating Management Systems

Workshop on Integrating Management Systems
13 -14 March 2009: New Delhi

The first Management System Standard, ISO 9001 was published in 1987. Nobody could guess that one day ISO 9001 would become synonymous with quality certification the world over. The overwhelming success of the Quality Management Systems motivated the development of other Management System themes on Environment, Health and Safety of employees, Social Accountability, Information Security, Food Safety and others. Depending on the scope sectors and priorities, organizations adopted these management systems in different combinations and at different times.

One of the fallouts of the multiple systems is the multiplication of effort in developing, maintaining and complying to the requirements, and in case of external audits, demonstrating conformance. With organizations getting leaner, surely the burden to maintain a seemingly gargantuan collage of documents merits easing. Besides the co-adoption of systems should lead to benefits which are together more than the sum of their parts.

The Workshop on Integrating Management Systems is designed to provide a successful approach towards integrating existing/certified systems with an open format to cater to future additions.

The programme covers management of stakeholders’ interests, processes, objectives, documents, risk management, internal audits and management reviews in an integrated environment through interactive sessions and hands on workshops. The Course contents are based on British Standard PAS 99, which is the only published Standard giving requirement for an Integrated Management Systems and ISO Guide 72 that provides vital inputs on the elements that are common for all management Systems. The programme is highly beneficial for individuals responsible for management systems in their organizations and for those who are deputizing for them.

Workshop objectives

· To critically address the stakeholder’s interest in an integrated environment.
· To unify common functions of different management systems.
· To enhance abilities of persons functioning as MRs in an integrated environment.
· To understand linkages for master control of an IMS.
· To discover ways of improving overall system integrity and accrued benefits.
· The workshop shall be conducted using lectures, group-work and case studies.

The Workshop will be conducted by Senior and experienced faculty from CII Institute of Quality and external faculty experienced in the implementation of IMS. Participants will be given a course completion certificate upon successful completion of the two-day training programme.

One Day Training program on “VENDOR MANAGEMENT”

One Day Training program on “VENDOR MANAGEMENT”
27 February 2009 @ THE RESIDENCY TOWER, Chennai.

Background:
As more companies are seeking to move beyond procurement into fully deployed supply chain systems, a key challenge for many companies is in the area of improving efficiency in their procure to pay cycle for many of their outsourced products and services.

With increased competition in the marketplace, and Global Sourcing becoming a necessity, an organization’s success could well be tied to the ability of its suppliers to invest in new product development, respond to a change in demand or indeed work together to achieve improvements in network or manufacturing design and efficiency. Outsourcing is one of the most recent management strategies to focus on, in response to addressing organizational competitiveness. Organizations are continually looking for innovative methods to improve the efficiencies on product design, quality, and on time delivery, both within and beyond their operations. Supply chain management is the integrated philosophy to manage the total flow of activities from customer order to delivery. Efficient strategies for creating business excellence revolve around the “on time delivery of goods and services” from the suppliers. Appropriate sourcing rules, optimized sourcing, partnering with vendors, healthy buyer-supplier relationships contribute a lot for supply chain efficiency.

As the typical Purchasing Function is limited to transactional job of collecting information about the requirements of user department and carrying out commercial checks and balances to finally procure the product & service, Strategic Sourcing is the process of finding qualified sources to fulfill supply needs, that helps companies analyze how they purchase products and services to lower costs, improve profits, and improve their supply chain. Strategic Sourcing is the only approach to achieve significant cost reduction and building a sustained value-creating relationship with the suppliers on a long term basis.

Topics that will be discussed:

1. Vendor Selection and Evaluation road map
2. Impact of IT in Vendor Management – E-procurement, ERAs.
3. Vendor rating criteria and best practices.
4. 3 PL Selection Criteria
5. Supplier Relationship Management
6. Strategic Sourcing.
