Re: New Folks - Please Take a Minute and Introduce Yourself / Say Hello!
Dear Readers:
While, I am not the 'veteran' of quality, I DO love working towards improvements in every aspect of my life. A scratchy little about me...
1. Name - Sameer Badruddin
2. Job Title - Quality Consultant (4 years now), though I can roast a little chicken on HSE too.
3. Industry you're in - Consulting Service currently. Being a Chemical Engineer, I 've also delved into Chemical Simulation software solutions, the glass processing industry (its fascinating!), and the petrochemical production floor (somehow, i aint the floor guy)
4. Company you work for and location - Global Experience Consulting, Kuwait which provides Feasibility studies, business plans, QHSE consulting, Industrial consulting services to name a few!
5. Length of time in quality function - I wished I was longer in quality, but then I have always been a person with a penchant for quality since my school days, which means I have been practicing quality unconciously for longer than I know of!! Well.... conciously, its been a healthy 4 years of jam-packed quality service.
6. The one thing that puts me apart - Most people say, I dont have an ego which hurts.
7. Your pet peeve in quality - I have many!
1. That there people in the top management who want the quality certificate and still give a DAMN about quality issues.
2. That I wished the quality awareness ever increased in the Middle East. (I'm INDIAN, I'm working in the Middle East!)
8. What would you do to change the world of quality - Change the mindset of the "dequalitized" top management. Clause 5.1 talks about management commitment, and an organization CANNOT successfully implement a good quality system if there is no clear intention to do so from the Top management!
