TQM stands for total quality management, which aims to eliminate errors made during the production or service process, boost customer satisfaction, improve supply chain management, modernize equipment, and guarantee that employees are properly trained.
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:
Modern fluid flow control techniques in fluid systems that are encountered in the process and chemical industry, involve the control of flow rate; measurements of pressure and temperature; and, other quantities at upstream and downstream locations. They also involve a means for enabling the passing of maximum flow rate in case of emergencies. Fluid movers such as pumps and compressors of various designs have their own flow control devices for regulating flow rates, pressures, and in some cases, motor loads (variable speed motors or variable speed couplings). Control valves play a major role in fluid flow control. They are used for pressure reduction, control of delivery flow rates, back pressure control, pressure relief, etc.
Health policy in much of the developed world is concerned with assessing and improving the quality of health care. But how are quality improvements to be wrought in such a complex system as health care? A recent issue of Quality in Health Care was devoted to considerations of organizational change in health care, calling it “the key to quality improvement”.In discussing how such change can be managed, and articles that cultural change needs to be wrought alongside structural reorganization and systems reform to bring about “a culture in which excellence can flourish”. A review of policy changes over the past two decades shows that these appeals for cultural change are not new but have appeared in various guises. However, talk of “culture” and “culture change” begs some difficult questions about the nature of the underlying substrate to which change programs are applied.

The annual losses due to corrosion and the cost of rectification run to several billion dollars in oil & gas exploration industries around the world. High production under aggressive and extreme operational conditions necessitates the development of new materials which also have peculiar failure behaviors. Thus the industry operators are on continuous perusal with different corrosion management strategies. Yet unforeseen failures of top-side, sub-surface and sub-sea infrastructure due to corrosion not only entails the loss of production but the loss of life as well. Prediction of failure behaviors, remaining useful life, corrosion preventive measures are all approaches in corrosion management for safe and economic operation of production wells and other facilities. Successful corrosion management influences the economic outcome of the company by ensuring the cost-effective selection of materials, chemical treatments, coatings, cathodic protection systems, and appropriate designs
The planning and budgeting process in most organizations starts with the human resources (HR) department. At the same time as the sales and marketing professionals are assessing product and service mix and making short and long-term forecasts of sales demand and prices, the HR department is assessing its current level of resources and the likely level of resources required both in the short and longer-term. The HR function plays an integral role in the budgeting of costs for the whole organization. It is also responsible for the preparation and management of its departmental budget, and is accountable for the achievement of that budget. Financial awareness is therefore an essential requirement for every role at every level within the HR departments of modern business organizations. Companies are increasingly integrating all their business processes using systems like ERP (enterprise resource planning). Each business function should therefore understand, and be able to communicate, accounting, and financial (and non-financial) information. This conference provides the required level of financial awareness and practical application for HR practitioners to appreciate accounting and finance in the broader context, and the HR function’s involvement in the organization’s budgeting and budgetary control processes, and participate in the decision-making process. It also includes the techniques required to prepare a detailed budget for the HR department itself, and the management of the HR department’s actual budget performance.
