It’s a moment of great honor for all of us in KI family that Imai-san was honored with the First ever Fellowship of Quality Council of India, on 19 February 2010 in New Delhi, during the QCI Annual Conclave and by the Chief Minister of Delhi. He was the first Fellow of the council to receive such a great recognition.
QCI is the apex quality body of the Government in India, and also an accreditation and certification body.
The QCI Annual Conclave was attended by 800 corporate executives, bureaucrats and politicians, along with national media coverage.
Numerous methods can be used for the improvement process in the company. For long term success it is however important to take all influence factors into account. The KAIZEN Management System addresses all aspects which contribute to company results. These are factors such as quality, costs, logistics, staff motivation, safety, technology and the environment. The entire process chain - from supplier via the internal customer to the final customer – is therefore taken into consideration.
