Prof Priyavrat Thareja

Nitin Raheja had given a lead, and asked a few questions. Diapk and Khatri listed projects. I am a lean six sigma black belt and heading an engineering academic discipline. Also floating a new Quality masters (ME) programme, in Chandigarh. The interests are complimentary. Where are you based? and what activity would you like to take up in your institute?

"Setting up large and lofty goals, and/ or identify niches where the things don't digest", these are the two tools which open up gamut of projects. Obviously, the first one may be considered as fiction-ous and not a worthy six-sigma-initiative. Yst it shall be used as a bargaining exercise to settle for something more realistic, achievable, yet be very challenging. Larger the gains accrued better were a six sigma project. Anyhow when we have myopic sights set over something more realistic, easily achievable, the ease or lack of challenge lets us overee many smaller things. I have seen the best of EMS auditors in their assesment of aspects misinterpret sources and thus- the real purposes are lost somewhere. Agreeable it was not their fault, but that of the consultants, but it is the former with who rests the ultimate responsibility of any failure. Setting sights highprepares one with the attitude to build up a holistic picture of the system, and outcomes from such an exercise are likely to be superior. Thank you, Priyavrat thareja PEC university of Technology Chandigarh

Dear Sriapthy, Glad that you read the book on TRIZ. Is some Indian publication ( i mean in INR price) available? I would be obliged for help. Priyavrat Thareja

Six sigma is about Fixing/ preventing Defects. Most serious defects are Student Failures. Less severe: students non conformances ( ethical issues, indisccipline etc) Still lower ( To increase Motivation),,, day 2 day issues. But most of the exercises here are challenging... being People issues. BTW Vishwadeep do you have some demo presentations about the work American educationists as cited by you? If yes Can you help me ? Thanx P Thareja

I have some survey designs done by my students in portfolio. If you spell something about your organisational type and objectives ( both of survey & organsiation), may be I have some survey format in my pc's memory Prof P Thareja HOD Met Engg. PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh

I agree with NITIN. Afterall what is the difference between 'someone funding you with the money and a group/trainer over a 6 sigma course' Call it a Fix. Or you choosing and opting for a course NOW, The only loss is some dough, which you think is thrown into the Dark Black Box? Believe me the money thrown into Black Box will grow. And grow better. The leading indicator is TIME. God willing you get compensated through a nice remunerative job, as a result of the GB or BB title. Wish you the best, speediest! Prof P Thareja HOD Met Engg.
