The Hindu Business Line : CII quality meet to focus on service, food safety

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)'s 12th Quality Summit scheduled for later this month has added service and food safety sectors to its three-theme session related to `sustainable growth through quality and competitiveness.'

The annual summit being held here between November 25 and 27 will focus on the two burgeoning sectors, apart from education, which has been upgraded into a full-fledged session this year.

In the service sector, apart from featuring three CEOs, it will talk about `unsung heroes' from the service sector— the Mumbai dabbawallahs.

The CII Institute of Quality, which is organising the annual event, said the focus of its flagship event was on fundamental issues that contribute to sustainable growth.

"Policy makers, CEOs, academicians and practitioners have progressively found this forum of growing importance to deliberate on the latest international and national developments in the thinking and practices in the field of total quality management," according to CII-Q.

The event will be held at Bangalore University's city campus at Central College. Similar to last year, a highlight will be a presentation to be made by students on the status and quality in education.

Some of the sessions will focus on international benchmarking; productivity enhancement through innovation and breakthrough; new market values; international competitiveness; cost control; R&D and technology edge; multi-cultural people management and corporate social responsibility.

It expects presentations by three winners of the Deming Prize 2004 on their success strategies.
