MR BARMA SAID THERE WAS NO MAGIC ABOUT QUALITY MANAGEMENT.

"WE DRESS IT UP WITH TECHNICAL JARGON, BUT ESSENTIALLY IT IS AN ATTITUDE TOWARDS WORK.

"

"IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT, HE SAID.

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTILLING QUALITY INTO A COMPANY'S MANUFACTURING PROCESS RESTED WITH ITS CHIEF EXECUTIVE, "BUT HE WILL NOT BE ALONE".

"THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ORGANISATIONS WHICH CAN HELP. MANUFACTURER WANTS HELP IN MOVING TOWARDS BETTER QUALITY, I TO CONTACT THE INDUSTRY DEPARTMENT'S INDUSTRIAL EXTENSION HE SAID.
