Thank you and I look forward sincerely to our next meeting!
Vance Martin, President, Wild Foundation and Chairman, Wilderness Specialist Group, IUCN, USA
Dear Mr. Lulla, Thank you for the privilege of letting me be a part of the Qimpro Awards event again. It is, by far, the most humbling experience, year after year. Always leaves me with a storm of thoughts. About the numerous ways in which people's lives and the world can be made better, about how seemingly miniscule efforts by individuals and small teams can bring about an ocean of change over time; the sheer energy after listening to superhumans share their stories, and a much needed reminder from time to time to make a difference. Thank you!

Congratulations to Suresh Lulla and his lean team for nurturing Qimpro Foundation into a fine institution, with evangelist fervour worthy of its name and objective. Starting with Business and industry, it now covers Education and Healthcare as well. It has taken small but effective steps to create quality consciousness in these sectors. It also recognizes people/institutions in these fields. The response is amazing! I am sure in coming years it will penetrate these sectors more effectively and also spread its wings wider. Its focus is clear. “Excellence has no finishing line”. I wish them Good Luck.

Deming once commented this: Somewhere down the line, we concluded that to work you need to go to an organisation, to learn you need to be in a classroom, and to enjoy yourself you need to be on a playground. Why can not these three be combined into one? Well, I can only say that at the Qimpro Convention I saw how people were attempting this. Way to go!"

Qimpro has touched the lives of countless professionals and scores of organisations directly and indirectly, many more that what solid brick and mortar institutes would have done. It's truly a proud privilege to have known Qimpro, Suresh and his lovely team and been a part of this journey. Thank you for everything. Qimpro turned 33 on 20.11.2020
Vivek Talwar, Former Chief Culture Officer, The Tata Power Company Ltd.
A management system with constancy of purpose doesn’t fret about variation in quarterly profit. If the actions make sense when looking at the organization as a system over the long term but have costs today we accept the short term results. This might conflict with bonuses or performance appraisals. Well guess what, that is addressed in point 12, which encompasses eliminating such practices. The purpose of creating constancy of purpose is to maximize the benefits to the organization of the other facets of Deming’s management system. It is not an end, it is the means to an end. - From "Out of crisis" Dr. Deming. Fits perfectly to Qimpro. Qimpro turned 33 on 20.11.2020

The Six Sigma Course held at Bombay on 25th to 27th Aug 2011 was an eye catcher. The course black belt instructor Mr. Anirudha was extremely good . As healthcare personnel , we got to know how to manage quality in parallel with budgeting & increasing the revenues for hospitals. We recommend you to have such programs to broaden our outlook & how situations could be dealt with.
Dr Minnie Bodhanwala, CEO, Baroda Heart Institute and Training Centre
Thank you so much for speaking at the Kuwait Quality Best Practices Conference last week [on 26-Sep-16]. Your presentation was very well received; the participants gave excellent evaluation (4.66 out of 5).

Dr Santrupt B Misra, Director, Aditya Birla Management Corporation
We at Tatas, are appreciative for our long association with Qimpro. Our valuable association dates back nearly two decades.

Qimpro’s involvement with the Ashok Piramal Group was initiated way back in 1993. This was well before industry had recognised the importance of good quality – whether product or service. This focus brought in a lot of awareness and saving across the Group. Without Qimpro this would not have been possible.
Urvi Piramal, Chairperson, Ashok Piramal Group
I’m an admirer of your organization as it is the only organization I encountered in India that “walks their talks”
William Toose
 I still recall the wonderful sessions we had with you at the Aga Khan Hospital and still have your material on TQM.
Dr Lloyd Nazareth, Chief Executive Officer, Wockhardt Hospitals
IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj National Quality Award has gained great prestige over the years and has helped to mould the mindset of quality professionals and hundreds of Corporates. Huge credit for this goes to the outstanding leadership of Mr Lulla.
Niraj Bajaj, Chariman and Managing Director, Mukand
I have observed with great admiration the evolution of Qimpro over the past two decades. What differentiates Qimpro is its singular passion for transforming Indian organizations, and their human resources, into world-class quality assets. Examples abound. In addition, I have personally experienced the transparent and robust processes Qimpro follows for recognizing individuals, teams, and organizations. I consider each of these three processes themselves emerging as `best practices’!
Dr R A Mashelkar, National Research Professor, CSIR Bhatnagar Fellow and President - Global Research Alliance
My warmest and sincerest congratulations to you and your wife as QIMPRO celebrates its Silver Jubilee this year! I have, though from the outside in a way, witnessed Qimpro’s signal contribution to so many organizations and the credibility, respect and admiration it now commands in the hearts and minds of business and non business people alike. You have built a ‘Brand’ which I am sure, not only yourselves as its Founder, but the entire team at Qimpro must so deservedly be proud of. I too am very proud of my acquaintance with you.

The realization of the colossal waste in re-work and rejections had dawned soon after we began the Juran journey, which led to a systematic attack on process improvement and fool-proofing.
Chandra Mohan, Vice Chairman & MD (Retd), Punjab Tractors
I personally spend considerable time in communicating with people, on how and why it is imperative for our company to change, to restructure itself, and to continuously and relentlessly reduce wasteful costs.

Navin S Dedhia , National Director, American Society For Quality
My heartiest Congratulations to QIMPRO and its Leader Suresh Lulla on the occasion of completion of 25 years in service to the Indian industries and its leaders. Suresh, you have taken India at a new level with your innovative approaches and applications of simple quality principles. Your vision of ’Made in India’ and ’Make it Better’ have come true by creating quality awareness and educating industrial leaders and users. I wish you all the success in your future journey on the path of quality excellence
Navin S Dedhia , National Director, American Society For Quality
Mukund had the pleasure of associating with Qimpro for several years since 1989, under the able leadership of Mr. Suresh Lulla, when we initiated the Juran Quality Improvement methodology in the company. The cross functional team approach introduced by Qimpro resulted in a cultural change across the organization, improved communication/ presentation skills, overcame the initial fear of change and most importantly helped us create a strong foundation in our efforts to implement TQM activities which has borne fruit over the years. I congratulate Qimpro for achieving 25 years and wish them the very best in the years to come. Best regards,
Niraj Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director, Mukand
With Qimpro completing 25 years of its uniquely useful work, Quality Movement in India is coming of age. India needs a leader in the Movement who can influence rigour in zealously guarding and promoting quality standards across variety sectors. Wish Qimpro a many more years of its yeomen’s service!
Prof. Y K Bhushan, Vice Chancellor - ICFAI University, Meghalaya; Sr. Advisor - IBS-Mumbai;
Dear Suresh, Qimpro is an integral part of many success stories from India. I know your passion for the "Made in India" label of Quality. Your passion, commitment and expertise in the field of Business Excellence are legend. We at Haribhakti and BDO consider you to be the JURAN of India. Best wishes on your 25th Anniversary and always!
Shailesh V Haribhakti, Chairman, BDO Consulting
Qimpro helped ONIDA to make quality improvement a way of life and this in turn helped us to manufacture products of "world class quality" and make Indians proud of the "Made in India" label.
Gulu Mirchandani, Chairman & Managing Director, Onida
Qimpro has been an early ally in Marico’s growth journey. They helped us appreciate the criticality of quality in building credible product brands. With their help, we set up quality systems that took roots and helped Marico in its emergence as a consumer products major. On its 25th birthday, I wish Qimpro the very best for a long innings ahead.
Harsh Mariwala, Chairman & Managing Director, Marico
Dear Suresh, Thank you. My Compliments for Qimpro completing 25 years of fruitful service to Indian Industry. My association with Qimpro goes back to 1993 when they helped us Improve quality in the fan division of Crompton Greaves where I was the MD. Since then I have watching with great interest the initiatives taken by Qimpro to enhance the competitiveness of Indian Industry including propagation of Best Practices. Qimpro has also brought Quality as a focus area not only in Industry but also in Education and Health Care by honouring Champions in these fields.

Dear Sir, A note to say thank you on behalf of my team for making our first user conference in India - KronosLive India 2014 such a magnificent success. Your presence and participation was invaluable in it’s success. You don’t know how much my team and me personally, value your joining us for the Guest keynote on Day2. You set the tone for the outstanding success of the event on Day2. We strive to raise the bar in everything we do, and thank you for your support in raising the bar with our first " KronosLive India". Our customers, partners and everyone who attended were effusive in their praise on the conduct of the event, it’s content and quality, and in particular your session. Thank you once again. Best regards James
James Thomas, Country Manager, Kronos Systems (India)
Quality is a religion and one must pursue its customs to become religious. I have added one more custom to this pursuit by attending "Certified Examiner for Quality Management’ program at Indian Merchants’ Chamber, Mumbai. Having conducted 17 assessments through CII EXIM Business Excellence, HR Excellence as well as Max India’s Max Performance Excellence Framework, it was an experience meeting Maya Desai and Mr. Suresh Lulla during the training program. Thank you IMC RBNQA Trust for building this movement brick by brick. I completely believe that "’India can do and do it better"
Sachin Garg, Assistant Vice President - Quality & Max Life Insurance
Dear Mr Lulla, It was a privilege to attend the lectures you gave as part of the IMC RBNQA Examiners` course. I also went through some of your posts over the weekend. While I am not a career quality professional per se, the values of performance excellence are much ingrained now.
Dr Vivek K N Singh, Vice President - Safe Drinking Water, Sahara India Parivar
Today, Qimpro is recognised as one of the pioneers of the quality movement in India, inspiring several companies and organisations by setting several benchmarks within the field of quality. I would like to congratulate the team on celebrating 25 glorious years and wish them every success for the future.
Anand Mahindra, Chairman & Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra
In our journey to becoming a world-class organisation, quality in every aspect has been and continues to be a never ending obsession. Over the years, Qimpro has partnered with us in creating value through driving home the message, that in the pursuit of quality there is no finish line. Consequently, quality is ingrained into the very genetic coding of our Group.
Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group
It was in late 1980s that the Indian Industry started to liberalise and had to face international competition. It was immediately apparent that quality standards in India were far behind those required for competition in the international market, and we stood little chance to make inroads with our products and services. It was in those early years that QIMPRO, led by Mr. Suresh Lulla, too significant steps to lead India’s Foray into the quality conscious world. It was a proud privilege for Tata Steel to be associated with QIMPRO in those early years. I do believe that both organizations benefitted tremendously from that early cooperation. Since then QIMPRO has grown from strength to strength and I wish it continues to give Indian industries the service it has given in the past.
Dr J J Irani, Director, Tata Sons
In the seventies, 1 Inspector for 10 and 100% Inspection was the norm in India. With R&D in PTL’s genes, upgrade of Swaraj Quality was a continuous process from Day-1. I had read of Japan’s postwar Quality Revolution courtesy the teachings of Drs. Deming & Juran and had even gone ahead to add a statistician to our Quality Deptt. Did not even make a dent. Our rate of Improvement continued to crawl; nowhere near what had become routine with Japanese industry. I was on the look out for Dr. Juran’s tapes. It was in this process that I chanced to read of QIMPRO & its Juran connection on the morning’s Delhi-Bombay flight in India Today. Landed in its office in the afternoon when partitions were still being nailed; Suresh and I sat on packing cases. In the one-hour that we spent together, it became amply clear that our answer lay in Dr. Juran. I picked up Dr. Juran’s “Managerial Breakthrough” and ordered a set of his tapes. Our journey with Dr. Juran began on my return to Chandigarh. 22 CFT Teams working on 22 diverse Projects identified by the entire Management Group. 6 months to complete; Weekly monitoring by entire Group;. Results astounded everyone. Made it amply clear that TQM was not culture-specific to Japan, but equally doable in India. Our JV with Mazda of Japan added the next twist ; aggressive Goals of 30% Improvement year after year. It converted me into an evangelist for TQM with Suresh That bond between me and Suresh has grown stronger over the years. Dedication in 2004 by Punjab Technical University of its First Advanced School to TQM was a landmark in that journey. It is perhaps the only School of a Technical University focused on TQM. Ground covered by the School in its eight years of existence has also been fascinating: North-‘west QualTech Awards for TQM initiatives by industry; Week-end B.Tech and MBA Programmes in TQM for working Professionals; Short-term Programmes and the works. Marketing TQM in India is not easy. Full marks to Suresh for making QIMPRO into a live and vibrant Institution which has created a new culture in a whole host of large industry. May QIMPRO’s next 25 years bring greater success and glory.
Chandra Mohan, Vice Chairman & MD (Retd), Punjab Tractors
Our association with Qimpro started early in our Quality journey, when “Safety” was our buzz- word. We knew we were on the right track as safety was undoubtedly the most important aspect of care in a health industry. But on joining hands with Qimpro, we started doing things scientifically & systematically, with a focus on tangible results. Qimpro spelt out “cost of poor quality” & of “rework”, things we had never quantified or addressed before. Our managers became more informed &alert, thanks to our training in the classrooms of Qimpro. The training sessions were really enjoyable & we all looked forward to addressing challenging issues back on the job. Not only did our Quality journey with Qimpro help us in our profession, it also changed the way we looked at things in our day to day lives, especially in our interaction with people. We are so glad Qimpro happened to us. We wish them the very best in their 25th year of commitment to Quality.
Dr Sultan Pradhan, President & Chief of Oncology & Dr Meher Elavia, Hon. Joint SecretaryGoverning Board, Prince Aly Khan
The resounding success of Qimpro and its initiatives like the BestPrax Club, Quality Improvement are entirely due to your [Suresh Lulla] commitment and hardwork. Congratulations for building such a marvellous organization!
Dr Santrupt B Misra, Director - Group HR, Aditya Birla Management Corporation
The NDP-Healthcare initiative using LSS enabled capacity building in quality improvement. The methodology and Qimpro team enabled our staff to easily find and use quality tools appropriate for their needs, regardless of their experience in process improvement. Indian healthcare will now see how quality has reduced cost and enhanced profitability.
Dr Parag Rindani, Corporate Head � Medical Services, Sterling Hospitals, Gujarat
This is my second e-learning course from Qimpro with the first one being Problem Solving Pro. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Best part of the course was listening to the Quality Fables narrated by Mr. Suresh Lulla, Understanding the lessons learned from it & how they are related to the Performance Excellence Criteria. Introduction module to the Performance Excellence Criteria was also insightful that set context for rest of the modules to follow. The fact that all the course modules were presented in animation form made them visually appealing and something different to look forward to as a way of learning. By doing this course, it has made me gain a better appreciation of the Performance Excellence Criteria and has also made me a fan of The Quality Fables and the art of storytelling. I wish to now read all the 100 Quality Fables written by Mr. Suresh Lulla. Thanks for this excellent course and look forward to pursuing many other such offerings from Qimpro.
Mihir Gosalia, Manager - Quality, Global Indian International School
Its give me immense pleasure to share as I have successfully passed and now hold the tittle as Certified Reliability Engineer from ASQ. A professional milestone well achieved. Sincere thank to my Spouse Shipra Gupta for supporting me during the preparation tenure over all the weekends and managing the family all together. Special thanks Fred Schenkelberg for his blogs and catching up with exam readiness. Qimpro Consultants Pvt. Ltd. for the Primer which helped achieving this.
Sachin Srivastava, RAMS Engineer, Bombardier
I would like to share that the overall experience of the Problem Solving workshop with Mr Suresh Lulla was too empowering and engaging. Participants feedback has been very encouraging and learners are all set to take it up to the next level. On behalf of my team I would like to thank Mr Lulla for sharing his knowledge beautifully and making us understand the Problem Solving Methodology with great ease. Seeing the success of the workshop, management would want him to take up another session for us.
Tanu Vishwas, Manager - HR , Centre of Excellence, Learning & Development, Jet Airways (India) Ltd.
I opted for the Quality Improvement Associate certification course and have not been disappointed. The study material provided was really world-class. Because Qimpro’s certifications are designed for self-study, it has been convenient in assisting me to achieve Quality Professional credentials. Whenever I had a question, it was answered immediately, even though I am based in Qatar. The examination was arranged as per my convenience in Chennai. I have had a wonderful experience with QIMPRO and would highly recommend them to any individual or organization interested in expanding their educational training/certification needs at an extremely affordable price.
Kalisa Lingam, Project Civil Engineer, Hyder Consulting - Qatar
I sincerely thank to you for your focused guidance in achieving the desired results for my Black Belt certification from Qimpro College. I am glad to see the score for this examination for which I had been preparing since February. In fact, I have added a lot of value to my knowledge after going through the Primer and CD provided by QCI, USA.
Diljiit Singh
It was a Delightful experience pursuing the Six Sigma Black Belt Certification from Qimpro College right from receiving the study material which was sent so quickly and in wonderful packaging, to the examination in Delhi which was arranged superbly. The Delhi Exam coordinator Ms. Saima Waseem was also very supportive and ensured that I am thoroughly comfortable during the examination. Even the wonderfully packaged Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate was received by me within 48 hours of clearing the examination. The QCI study material is quite extensive & easy to understand. The support received from Qimpro Personnel is highly commendable too including Mr. Anirudh Chakravarty who evaluated my project and recommended the same for Black Belt Certification and Ms. Jigisha Lulla who was very supportive in answering my numerous queries and ensured that they are resolved to complete satisfaction.
Hemant Kumar, Project Manager, HDFC Bank
Glad you enjoyed the Congress and I agree with you the whole Congress seemed to be on steroids.. Thanks for your outstanding contribution and wonderful help as always!!
Dr Robin Mann, Chairman, Global Benchmarking Network (GBN)
The BestPrax process helped us realize our strengths, in terms of existing best practices. We were awarded the BestPrax Benchmark 2016 in the Services category at the BestPrax Conclave. More importantly, we plan to use the comprehensive feedback report to raise the bar through an action planning exercise for both best and weak practices. This will drive our business excellence journey.
Sachin Garg, Head - Strategy & Business Excellence (CQH), Tata Housing Development Company Ltd.
Tata Power has participated in the harvesting of best practices by the Bestprax Club for three cycles in a row. We have found the process tremendously rewarding, and aligned to our journey towards business excellence. Starting with the process of identifying the best practices that reside within our organisation through a methodology akin to appreciative inquiry that involves critical people in the organisation, to the process of defining, articulating and then presenting those practices in a forum where other organisations are also there to share their best practices, and finally to present these practices in an international awards process where our practices are evaluated and critiqued, and where we get to learn about other organisations' best practices is a rich and rewarding way to learn and share. The fact that this is done in a way that celebrates our strengths, rather than focuses on our opportunities for improvements is a refreshingly different way to build on what we are good at doing.
Vivek Talwar, Chief Culture Officer, Tata Power
Dear Suresh, I noted with interest your pre-Roadshow Conclave and selection of best practice organizations. I think this step was commendable and should add significant value to the Roadshow event. You all are to be commended. Best personal regards, BOB
Dr Robert Camp, Founder, Global Benchmarking Network (GBN)
…really well done on the Conclave! It was a major success and you should feel really proud!
Dr Robin Mann, Chairman, Global Benchmarking Network (GBN)
Dear Bob [Dr Robert Camp], …Robin and I delivered presentations, facilitated workshops and judged the BestPrax Benchmark Competition at India’s BestPrax Conclave. The event was extremely successful. We judged 16 best practice presentations covering about 50 good practices and the standard was very high. It was probably one of the best events I have attended anywhere - the amount of knowledge sharing was impressive. Suresh and his team did a fantastic job! We have chosen 6 of these best practices to be presented in detail at the Roadshow along with presentations from yourself, Robin, Holger, Navin and myself – like in Toronto in 2008…
Bruce Searles, Benchmarking Partnerships, Australia (May 2010)
You are doing a great service to the quality profession and to India by organizing and conducting such a workshop. You are genuinely involved in making ’Brand India’ to move forward to a new height. I wish you grand success in the Executive Workshop on Structured Benchmarking on June 16 - 17, 2010.
Navin S Dedhia, American Society for Quality, USA (May 2010)
Thank you so much for keeping me informed on the most interesting activities at the BestPrax Club. I am sure the presence of Dr Robert Camp will provide an invaluable experience for all participants. Regrettably I will not be able to be in India at that time, nevertheless I wish you continued success in all your activities.
Steve Forte, USA [Retired from Jet Airways] (May 2010)
This was the first time Eureka Forbes participated in the BestPrax Benchmarking Competition. We found it an extremely well put together program. The whole event, right from the conceptualisation to the execution stage was carried out with a great deal of finesse. It gave us an opportunity to learn and understand some of the wonderful work being done by other companies and institutions in the field of Leadership Governance. More importantly, it also made us introspect and gain a deeper appreciation of some of our own practices that we at times tend to take for granted. The Conclave, in particular, added tremendous value to the entire process of knowledge sharing. We look forward to deepening our association with Qimpro and the GBN to add to our learning curve.
Marzin Shroff, Chief Executive Officer, Eureka Forbes (May 2010)
The efforts of the BestPrax Club to cultivate a culture of Total Quality and Benchmarking in the country and educate Indian Managers about the same are commendable. Categorically recognizing the Star practices was a real WOW.
R K Bansal, Location Head, Hindustan Zinc (May 2010)
The resounding success of Qimpro and its initiatives like the BestPrax Club, Quality Improvement are entirely due to your [Suresh Lulla] commitment and hardwork. Congratulations for building such a marvellous organization!

I am happy to inform you that I have been certified as an ASQ Six Sigma Black Belt. The primer was really very handy to help me brush up. In 15 days flat!
Prakash Viswanathan, Function Head (Senior Unit Quality Head- Six Sigma / Lean), Infosys
It has been a pleasure using your services for acquiring world class material related to improvement techniques. Your services have been great so far in delivering the material on time and in good condition. I have the pleasure of using QCI material, which has the advantage of being designed according to BOK of the ASQ exam I am targeting. The material is quite comprehensive and is well recommended. I have in-depth familiarity with many topics I use in daily work and find it to be a good source of information for any first timer, and a quick refresher for an experienced user. It does require referring to supporting text for full understanding for less used topics or in case being used by a first timer. Overall the layout, style, ease of navigation, and the material in itself is very helpful as a student for ASQ certification.
Parijat Pande, Senior Industrial Engineer, Aluminium Bahrain
Reference material received by us was well packed and received in god condition. Apart from this, content of the material is excellent. We got very good and prompt service for all our questions. Entire transition was smooth.

Just wanted to let you know that I passed the CSSBB exam. Thanks for your cooperation in getting me the Qimpro material on time. In fact, I didn’t refer to any other book other than Qimpro. I really appreciate your excellent service and would definitely recommend Qimpro’s entire CSSBB study suite to anybody who is taking the test.
ArunPrasad Jaganathan, Principal Engineer, Honeywell
Your CSSBB resources were very useful to me to understand the concepts and clear the exam. Thanks for making them available in India.

Once again sincerely thanking Qimpro for wonderful course material. I could get through Certified Six-Sigma black belt exam [in Oct-15].
Rajesh Pathak, Quality Head - CRB, Schaeffler Group
I appeared for ASQ's CMQ-OE Exam in 2013 for which I ordered the Exam CD from Qimpro. The material was excellent and nicely tailored keeping the syllabus in mind. The Exam CD is well programmed to understand the strong and weak area’s of the various topics. Simulated tests helped me to prepare and crack the exam in a very short time. My experience prompted me to order the CSSBB Primer and Exam CD from Qimpro this time for ASQ's CSSBB Exam in October 2015.
Rajesh Pathak, Head Quality - Roller Bearings, FAG Bearings India Ltd. (Schaeffler Group), Vadodara
Thank you for the prompt response to all our questions and for the well packaged delivery. The contents of the QCI materials are excellent.

Shriram Sohoni, Deputy General Manager - Quality, Cummins India
I am happy to inform you that I cleared ASQ CRE exam successfully. For my preparation I used QCI primer material, solution text and exam CD which helped me a lot. I am thankful to QCI for coming out with such a comprehensive, in-depth study material.
Subramanyam V, Bangalore
I took the ASQ Six Sigma Black Belt examination in October of 2009 and I came out with flying colors. I dedicate this success to QCI Primer and Exam CD. Though I used Benbow and Kubiak, Breyfogle as reference material however at times I found the explanation and concepts too esoteric nevertheless the QCI Primer explained them in a very lucid manner, easy to understand and grasp. Further more, the concepts were backed by very practical examples from day to day life which made it very easier for me to relate with the concepts. The Exam CD was icing on the cake, it has exhaustive questions and simulation exams and it ensures you fully equipped for the actual examination. That being said, I thank QIMPRO for having such wonderful material which helped me sail through.
Alok Gupta
I have cleared the Black Belt ASQ exam March 2010 and I must say that the 1000 question CD and the Primer book are a must to clear this exam.
Amit Jain
The ASQ certification results have been announced and I passed the Black Belt examination. One of my primary references was QCI’s Electronic Exam CD which is offered by Qimpro. It helped me a lot. Thanks for the support provided.
Rajeev R Nair
I am almost done with my preparations for the ASQ exam from the QCI material purchased through your bookstore. I must acknowledge that the material have been designed very well made which made my studying much easier. The sample questions and explanations of the correct answer in the Solution Text also helped elaborate the concepts well.
Swati Trivedi
Thank you for all your timely assistance. Qimpro has helped me reach this far with my attempts towards the ASQ CSSBB. Qimpro College’s prep tests helped me for the actual ASQ exam environment. Since I wasn’t attending any coaching classes and didn’t have a tutor or the assistance of an MBB, your tests were the best way for me to evaluate my performance.
Anishan Saldanha
I purchased the CSSGB material for a friend appearing for ASQ Exam. The person was well acquainted with the Six Sigma concepts prior to getting the material. I must say that the material was very exhaustive and it made her enable not only learn the concepts but successfully passing the exam. I found that the material is a wonderful resource for the Six Sigma Green Belt aspirants.

Suresh, I really enjoy the fables that you author. Such a rich source of lessons learned that draw on quality and practical experience with leaders across situations. Would highly recommend the booklets you have published to others. One you start reading, it is hard to put the booklet down!
Dawn Ring Rose, Principal, Organizational Excellence Specialists Inc, Canada
You have done a fine job with these and made an important contribution to quality learning. Aesop would be proud. Dr. Juran would have been proud!

Quality nuggets from Suresh Lulla. I was privileged to meet Suresh at the recent Asia Pacific Quality Conference and to obtain a copy of his excellent little book 'Quality Fables'. This presents numerous vignette case studies that illustrate quality principles. (These would each make an excellent topic for a #QualityMoment discussion at the start of a business meeting). Each vignette concludes with the key insights (163 in total). Here are a few of these zingers: - When you want to sell an idea to top management, speak the language of top management - money - [Thus] the head of finance can put a quality management initiative in steroids - Quality by Design can shut the hatchery that generates quality problems - For strategic planning we must schedule our priorities; for operational planning we must prioritize our schedule - Quality control is about corrective actions we take when sporadic fires break out; Quality improvement is about reducing chronic costs and poor quality. - Process incapability is legitimatized in the budget: inventory costs, inspectors, after-sales-service engineers! - The Cost of Poor Quality in any organisation is over 20% of total costs; and is usually at least equal to the profit for the organisation. - Adults like stories, not sermons. An excellent book!

The book is very well penned indeed - Each real-life story told in brief, and as in all Juran and Lulla style, the lessons learned summed up. Enjoyed reading it...Hope a second book in series is in the making.

Worth reading over and again. Power packed, wisdom of a life time experience, crunched in to 5 min stories, followed by bullet point "lessons learnt" - equally interesting for an entry/mid level manager, up to a CEO.

I had read the sample when it was published first and couldn't wait to get my hands on the extended version. The writing is lucid though the knowledge imparted is deep and profound. This is a special and much inspiring book which will need more then one reading to sink in...

I am enjoying the fables. Pithy with brevity.

Thank you so much for speaking at the Kuwait Quality Best Practices Conference. Your presentation was very well received; the participants gave excellent evaluation (4.66 out of 5).
Dr Tariq A. Aldowaisan, Founder and General Manager, Gulf Lead Consultants
I enjoyed it immensely...More importantly is the fact that you are documenting these important lessons for an audience which i consider need constant reminders. The exercise is commendable. I would greatly enjoy reading the remainder of the lessons.
Dr Robert Camp, President Emeritus, Global Benchmarking Network
It is commendable that the case can be made with so few words using the lesson of learning from others. They are a testament to your contributions in the Quality profession
Dr Robert Camp, President Emeritus, Global Benchmarking Network
The creative approach, as you point out, is a good addition to ongoing quality improvement processes, which. as I think you suggest, are not obsolete by the creative approach. But the creative approach can solve problems which are not tackled successfully by the ongoing quality improvement process

Very interesting - both the concept and the style
