An over view of Industrial management and quality control

Industrial management! What is industrial management? “Management is the art of getting things done through and with people”. Really it is an art and to get this skill and to apply it into industry we must have to well equip with the terminologies and the skill of management. To get these skills we must know about the jobs of manager and complete management hierarchy of an institute. No doubt the lab session of Industrial management and quality control provided us these skills by presentation session. Some one gave presentation on the management of WAPDA, some one on POF, someone on Siemens, bank of Punjab, PCSIR, ISO9000, Gourmet and someone on DESCON. Along with these presentation, the presentations like “Risk management”, “Leadership Qualities”, ”Total quality control” and “management skills”, are also presented.
One of good thing of this presentation session was that,” sir implements and orders to submit minimum 10 reports on 10 different presentations”. Because of this act students listened to presentation carefully.
Ultimately consequence comes “A person, who listens, will get something”
But presentation session span was too much long it extends almost for 9 weeks.
After that we were given a case study on” Casting machine basic design for Continuous billet casting of aluminum”. In that case study we learn basic design of a casting machine, its problems, its operation, its datums and tolerances, limitations of design feature, importance of design and many other engineering terms. We also draw sketch of machine along with report submission. We were provided with time for discussion on the problems statement of design of that machine, which elaborate our mind skills to think and to grasp a problem and teaches us how to solve it.
Then a report was given on the topic “Market analysis”. This was not only report but a report after market analysis. Student went to market, analyze different products of their choice and find out Its SWOT analysis, its strategy to achieve success and future goals. After that some students also gave presentation on their market analysis like Restaurants and coca cola. This report creates ability to talk with manner and sense of managing thing.
Then a discussion session start and we were given one of the essential and worldly recognized topic “Global Financial Crises” we were given time to discuss on it and to find out its causes and remedies, so that in future we may able to work for our industry.
In last we were given some management questions to answer but no submission imposition. These questions were good but not answered because relaxation given.
Subject name is “Industrial management and quality control” but I think name should be “Industrial management” because no focus on quality control. No doubt management is important but what we think Quality control is to be studied with the reference of management? Management is the only parameter to control quality? What about process? What about Engineering?
