The theme of the convention “Quality Concepts Facilitating Societal and Economic Turnaround”, is a befitting one, in the present Global Pandemic effect on Society and Economy and every country is trying to recover from its impact. Further, the problems evolved have to be solved to improve Productivity and Quality. This theme indicates the efforts to be made for improvements & innovations. We continue to have new learning's from this pandemic and in our quest of pursuing our significant role of showcasing as to how Quality Concepts practitioners around the world rose to the occasion by igniting the minds for innovative solutions and developing various methods in their industries to give a fillip to the economy and societal welfare. All of us have realized that how this global pandemic has given rise to our adaptation to live with VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Adversity) and yet confidently march on success path. ICQCC – 2021, India will try their best to provide opportunities to experts and practitioners of QCC and other allied concepts to exchange view points and search for new avenues to improve process management, value addition and cost reduction. QCFI is introducing Model Presentation (“Case study Presentation through Model & Charts”) for the first time in the ICQCC-2021.
