Words from Speaker:

It was my pleasure to be part of NIQC international and DN Business Excellence Award Ceremony
2020 conducted on 7th & 8th Nov 2020. On this platform, I shared my views on "Importance of
Quality" which was focused on latest Quality definition to the recent technological drive given by
Quality 4.0.

We all need to align with Quality 4.0, a great tool among the many other that is giving rise to the
“Factory of the Future” in which digitally enhanced plant structures & processes increase
productivity and flexibility in the factory as well as throughout the supply chain.

Digital technologies can help us to be as near to the center as possible when aiming at the moving
target called as QUALITY.

Thanks to Dheeren Negi (NIQC International) for the invite and the token of appreciation.
