A Raison D’etre

Quality is the sine qua non for the survival and growth of any manufacturing of service organization. Prevention oriented quality and reliability methods can significantly contribute to the prosperity of any industry.

Recent trends of ‘ opening up ’ of Indian economy to global competition and development of free enterprise within the country have further enhanced the need of quality as the key element for the survival and growth. While considerable efforts are being made in this direction, the fact remains that we still have a long way to go before we can catch up with advanced countries.

The need of the hour is a common forum, for quality on a country-wide basis. Through this forum, an acceleration in the pace of progress of the national quality and reliability movement could be achieved knowledge - could be easily shared, experiences exchanged and a broader national perspective evolved.

It was precisely in recognition of this need that NATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY was formed.

International Role Models

NIQR is Indian in outlook and attuned to the needs of Indian industry and business. Yet , it derives considerable inspiration from such internationally acclaimed as institutions as JUSE ( union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers ), ASQC ( American Society for Quality Control ) and EOQC ( European organization for Quality Control ).

There is much to be learnt from their efforts and expertise which, if properly adapted to our conditions, would result in a deeper and broader appreciation of quality as a total concept.
