New Delhi : L Ganesh, Chairman of Rane Group, was conferred with the prestigious Deming Award, one of the longest-running and highest recognitions globally instituted by Japan, for his outstanding contribution in dissemination and promotion (Overseas) of Total Quality Management (TQM). Ganesh is the third Indian and fifth globally to be bestowed with this award, Rane said in a media
Receiving the award in Japan, Ganesh said, “The Rane Group embarked on the TQM journey in 2000 under the leadership of L. Lakshman who was then the Chairman. Commencing from 2003, five of our Rane Companies won the Deming Prize and three of our Group companies went on to win the Deming Grand Prize. It has been a phenomenal journey and I consider myself fortunate to have been part of the same. The benefits to the Rane companies have been significant. We have also tried to disseminate TQM practices to our suppliers and shared this knowledge through many forums and to other corporates in India. I dedicate this award to all our past and present employees”.
The Deming Prize is an annual award presented to organizations and individuals that have implemented TQM catering to its management philosophy, scope, the scale of business, type, and management environment. Established in 1951, the award was instituted to pay tribute to W. Edwards Deming, who made a significant contribution to the spread of statistical quality control in Japan, following World War II.
The Deming Distinguished Service Award is given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the dissemination and promotion of TQM (whose primary activities are outside Japan). The winner receives the Deming Medal with an accompanying Certificate of Merit from the Deming Prize Committee, the release said.
