2) Carried out field training project “Reduction of Scrap Cost” during M.Tech. program at RAMBAL
Limited, Chennai. Scrap is inevitable in any manufacturing industry due to its complex system. This
project focused on the sources for scrap and the ways of its reduction in an engineering way using
statistical tools. The work gave a good yield by reducing the scrap value of the company by INR 30,000.
3) Carried out engineering degree (B.E.) project “The study on the performance of ethanol blended gasoline

16. M.Tech. Dissertation at ISI Kolkata

In this work, I wanted to understand the quality movement prevailing in the automobile business; so conducted a
study on TS 16949:2002, an international fundamental quality management system (QMS) specification for the
automotive industry. As ISO 9001:2000 is embodied in TS 16949:2002; hence, I studied ISO 9001:2000, the
mother of the Quality Management System. On the way, I came across the history behind the initiatives of these
systems. I felt the technical specification (TS) is not matching the top performer attitude, so I want to know what
the National Quality Award Criteria speaks out. I was interested to understand the Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award Criteria for performance excellence. I also refereed 14 Management principles of Toyota, the
growing giant of the century in the automobile business. At this point, I compared TS 16949:2002 and Malcolm
Baldrige Criteria to find out where they differ ultimately. And finally, I came up with the suggestions, which I
gained all the way from The Baldrige criteria and The Toyota Way, for future TS 16949 at their respective
clauses.

30. Featured in newspaper article(s)

1) Four articles were published in The Indian Express, daily English newspaper published in India, on 8 th
June 2017 (Thursday), Asianet News, regional newspaper published in India, on 8th June 2017
(Thursday), Ebela, daily Bengali newspaper published in West Bengal, India, on 1st June 2017
(Thursday), and Business Standard, India, on 26th May 2017 (Friday). This article discussed about a 40-
year-old woman (named: Mrs. Visalakshi) who was admitted at Barasat State General Hospital, West
Bengal, for nearly 2 years. She was classified as an “unknown” patient as because no one in the hospital
could trace her whereabouts. Mrs. Visalakshi is from Krishnapuram Village in Thiruvannamalai, Tamil
Nadu. She could not speak any language other than Tamil; hence, the hospital authorities contacted Mr.
Ambarish Nag Biswas, Secretary and Custodian, West Bengal Radio Club (Amateur Club), Sodepur,
West Bengal, India, who in turn contacted me, as I know to communicate in Tamil language. The Chief
Medical Officers connected me to the Tamil woman. After talking to the Tamil woman, I could find the
whereabouts of her and pass it to the Hospital Management and Mr. Ambarish who contacted other hams
(ham radio operators) in Chennai. Finally, the residence and family details of Mrs. Visalakshi were found
out.

Government Hospital, West Bengal, but the doctors could not find the whereabouts of the man. He could
not speak any language other than Tamil. Hence, the hospital authorities contacted Mr. Ambarish Nag
Biswas, Secretary and Custodian, West Bengal Radio Club (Amateur Club), Sodepur, West Bengal,
India, who in turn contacted me, as I know to communicate in Tamil language. The Chief Medical
Officers connected me to the Tamil man. After talking to the Tamil man, I could find the whereabouts of

3) An article was published in Sangbad Pratidin Paper (Bengali Language) about my assistance for
translation services to a young boy who came from Tamil Nadu along with his mother and got separated
from his mother at Ganga Sagar Mela at Sagar Island in South 24 Parganas District of West Bengal,
India. This young boy’s medical history includes convulsion, so suddenly, he fell on the ground. Some
volunteers picked him to Hospital where both doctors and nurses could not communicate with this boy
due to language barrier. At that junction, the doctors of the hospital came to know through West Bengal
Radio Club about me and so requested me to talk to the boy and know his medical history and his family
whereabouts. After knowing the details of the boy, I announced the details of the boy in the
communication towers so that his mother could reach the hospital in search of her son. After this
announcement, the lady reached her son in the hospital within 15 minutes of time. All these details were
published in Sangbad Pratidin (Kolkata edition), a Bengali daily newspaper, on 13th January 2017. The
article was also about the West Bengal Radio Club (Amateur Club) members’ social and technical

members in Ganga Sagar Mela at Sagar Island in South 24 Parganas District of West Bengal, India, from
