Computer Aided Technologies namely PLM, CAD, RP, CAE, CFD & the relevant technologies are powerful and flexible tools for New Product Design and Development and aid quick problem solving more accurately by integrating analytical and simulation techniques. The development of a simulated prototype of a future system is highly effective for visualizing the system through it’s’ design and development phases and provide timely feedback to prevent field failures. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is necessary to create the corporate assets as well as to control engineering data in manufacturing sector.

After the last six programs in 2007 & 2008 where a large number of people participated representing companies from Automotive, Aero Space, Medical Electronics, Automotive Electronics, Light and Heavy Engineering, we are glad in presenting the next International Seminar Cum Exposition in this series in Chennai in year 2009.

Revised Notice
Workshop on Integrating Management Systems
13 -14 March 2009: Gurgaon

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.

Course Content
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.

Since seats are limited, you are requested to forward your nominations at the earliest.

FACULTY
Mr Anupam Kaul is a Senior Counsellor with the Institute of Quality, CII. He is the former Head of National Institute of Training for Standardization (BIS) With 28 years of experience in Standards and Quality implementation schemes, he has been deeply involved in various conformity assessment practices both from assessment as well as training perspectives.

Training Program on Achieving Warehouse Competitiveness
16 – 17 April 2009: Hotel Royal Orchid Central Park, Bangalore

In today’s competitive scenario, efficiency of Warehouses has become the significant factor in the supply chain execution strategy of any organization on its In bound as well as on its Out bound. It encompasses several processes like goods receipt, cross docking, yard management, bar coding, physical inventory management and distribution processes. Modern warehouses are profit centers rather than traditional storage spaces. More focus on increasing the efficiencies of warehouses are essential due to Warehousing costs contributing 25% to 30% of the total Supply chain costs, increase in number of Third party Logistics Service providers, better utilization of costly space, increased number of SKUs, more JIT requirements, more demanding customers etc., To integrate the Supply chain activities like procurement, distribution, transportation and storage the warehouses are designed, strategically positioned and used. In addition to traditional warehousing functions like picking, packing, cross docking, etc. modern present day warehouses support the supply chain with various value added services. Organizations are striving hard to improve their warehouse turn over and productivity by adaptation of Technology and various techniques.
