Management & Technology

INTRODUCTION:

An all round personality equipped with appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes is a pre-requisite for becoming a successful leader. A positive and pleasant personality will ensure that he / she is able to motivate, inspire and lead the team / department / organisation towards performance excellence. Hence, the compelling need in all organizations to develop an all round personality in its employees especially the managerial cadres so that it can contribute to efficient, effective and productive functioning at all levels of management. For developing one’s personality, an open mind, a positive attitude and a learning temperament are essential. By developing ones personality, the ability to handle people, situations and tasks is facilitated, which is the major attribute that is sought after by all employees.

Worldwide, welding is a multi-billion dollar fabrication technology, used extensively in the construction of building, bridges, manufacturing automobile, aircraft, aerospace applications, power & energy sector, shipbuilding and electronic industries. Defects in welds or poor performance of weld can lead to catastrophic failures with costly consequences including losses to property and life. Virtually every manufacturing industry uses welding process at some stage of manufacturing or in repair or maintenance of process equipment like Industrial Boilers and heavy duty welding of steels plates for ship building etc. Non-destructive Testing is the most versatile tool to assess quality of components and to ensure their reliability in service. The increasing applications of Non-Destructive Testing Methods necessitate that the tests and evaluation of components are conducted by competent personnel ensuring uniformity of practice and soundness of technical approach. The competence of personnel involved can only be ensured by exposing them to a systematic training in the science and practice of non-destructive evaluation. In view of the multi-disciplined back ground and varying experience of entrants to the field of NDT, the course has been developed from fundamentals through advanced.

INTRODUCTION

Non Destructive Examination consists of a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can still be used and that too with more confidence.

Today modern non-destructive tests are used in manufacturing, fabrication and in-service inspections to ensure product integrity and reliability, to control manufacturing processes, lower production costs and to maintain a uniform quality level.

The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others clearly and unambiguously.Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages often misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity.

In fact, communication is only successful when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication.

In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success.

In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively – whether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression.

This program is primarily conceived and designed to enhance and sharpen the communication and presentation skills of the participants through effective exposure using case studies method of instruction and interactive & practical sessions on the essential fundamentals of these skills and the associated intricacies, thereby helping them in acquiring the necessary skills to deliver one’s best in the organization. The programme is primarily designed to enhance personal and organizational effectiveness.

INTRODUCTION

Procurement is the act of finding, acquiring, buying goods, services or works from an external source, often via a tendering or competitive bidding process. It is essential to ensure that the goods, services or works are appropriate and that they are procured at the lowest cost to meet the needs of the acquirer in terms of quality and quantity, time, and location. Corporations and public bodies often define processes intended to promote fair and open competition for their business while minimizing risk, such as exposure to fraud and collusion. In project, procurement of resources is a very important activity, which in turn plays a decisive role in cost and time estimation in the planning phase and controlling the deviation during the execution phase for any project. To procure the resources at right cost at right time and in right quantity Tendering is most sorted out process which can meet the objective with transparency if understood properly at each level. With the unprecedented changes that are taking place in this era, the operating environment is becoming VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous.) To get aligned to the dynamics of the global alignment, understanding of the comprehensive estimation and tendering process is a must for any organisation doing projects.

Project Monitoring, Control and Implementation
(Concept of Earned Value Management System in Project Management)
14 - 17 November 2017

INTRODUCTION
The time and cost scheduled as arrived at during the planning process are based on the predictions of the future. Therefore, it is not always expected that execution or the implementation of the project plan would go strictly as per the plan. Even in case of a project where plans have been made based on experience gained from similar projects in the past, the environmental factors and other natural occurrence may cause deviations from the plan. In implementation it is, therefore, necessary to constantly appraise the progress of the project and this process is known as monitoring.
What is Monitoring? Simply stated, monitoring involves watching the progress against time, resources and performance schedules during the execution of the project and identifying lagging areas requiring timely attention and action. The essence of good monitoring system is the speed of communication of depend-able information on key result areas, the competence of the monitoring agency to interpret the signal and the ability to lead to intervention in a constructive manner.
Monitoring and Control go hand in hand. While monitoring helps in identification of deviations from the plan, the control involves corrective action and ensures that deviations are overcome and performance is brought back to the planned course (originally planned or if it becomes necessary, revised plan).
The technique of Earned Value integrates cost and schedule performance in one report unlike traditional reports in which cost and schedule are reported separately.
By examining the cost and schedule variances concurrently it is possible to get a holistic and a much more realistic view of the project's progress.
