Bhubaneswar: The All Odisha Quality Circle Convention, a flagship event on Quality in the state, was organised by NALCO for the 23rd successive year today at NALCO Nagar, Bhubaneswar. This premier “Annual Quality Event” in the State, is being organised by NALCO since 1996 with the aim of spreading the Quality Movement amongst the industrial organisations in the State. It provides a platform for mutual learning through case study presentation to encourage implementation of the quality practices among organisations operating in Odisha. With Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) being adopted by many organisations, the Convention also encourages participation of TPM Circles. 8 Quality Circles and 7 TPM Circles from 10 different industrial units of Odisha participated in the Convention.
In honour of Utkal Gaurav Madhusudan Das, NALCO has instituted a state level QUALITY AWARD based on Business Excellence model criteria to recognise units from manufacturing sector operating in ODISHA for their TQM implementation process & the results achieved.
