2. To Receive the Audited Accounts and the Annual Report
for the year ended 31st March 2016
Dear Engineers,
It gives me very great pleasure to meet you all
through this News Bulletin once again.
Before I start, I wish to convey my deepest
condolences for the sad demise of our Honourable
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Dr. J. Jayalalitha on 5th
December 2016, leaving whole of the State in tears.
Her contribution during her tenure of offices was
simply exemplary and she faced all challenges with
Lion's Heart. Let us pray the almighty to rest her soul in peace.
I am happy to announce that sub-committees consisting of a Chairman
and members were formed to take care of the activities of Tamilnadu State
Centre in full zeal. My team members are dyed-in-the-wool to complete
the tasks shouldered on them.
I would like to reiterate to my colleagues to help the Centre by involving
more and more industries to have a healthy interaction on the real demand
of the industries from academic side, to make the Industry- Institute
interaction meaningful.
It is my endeavor to establish Students' Chapters at all Engineering
Colleges and Polytechnic Colleges under the jurisdiction of Tamilnadu
State Centre. I request my team members to focus on approaching the
Engineering Colleges and Polytechnic Colleges and urge the CEOs of the
colleges to establish Students' Chapter at their colleges. Continuous
follow-up will yield good results in this regard.
As a boon to students' community, our headquarters had introduced a
Student Membership (SMIE), where students studying 1st / 2nd / 3rd /
4th year of the B.E./B.Tech. can become a Student Member and the groups
consisting of SMIEs only will be given preference in release of grants for
their final year project/thesis work and other privileges which could be
downloaded from the website www.ieindia.org. The Members of
Tamilnadu State Centre and the Local Centres attached to Tamilnadu State
Centre may promulgate this unique opportunity to all Engineering college
students and make them to enroll as SMIEs.
My immediate concern is to increase the membership strength of our
Institution. The Chairman and members of the Membership Committee
should aim for a massive membership drive in Engineering Colleges and
Industries requesting their faculties and engineers to enroll themselves as
the members of IEI.
As I requested in my earlier message, I request my member friends to bring
in more and more new members into the fold of IEI with a slogan ‘EVERY
MEMBER INDUCT A NEW MEMBER’ to double the strength. When
there is a wish there is a go! Let us join hands to strengthen our Institution.
Dr. G Ranganath

The Tamilnadu State Centre of the Institution of Engineers (India) observed
the World Standards Day on Friday the 14th October 2016 at the IE(I)
Auditorium, Chennai. At the outset., Er K P Ramanathan, FIE Chairman
presided over the event and welcomed the gathering .
Er D Sundarasekaran, FIE , Honorary Secretary, IE(I),TNSC was the chief
guest and delivered the thematic address on the theme “Standards Build
Trust’’ with power point presentation. Each year on 14 October, the members
of the IEC, ISO and ITU celebrate World Standards Day, which is a means
of paying tribute to the collaborative efforts of the thousands of experts
worldwide who develop the voluntary technical agreements that are published
as international standards. Standards connect us with reliable modes of
communication, codes of practice and trusted frameworks for cooperation.
Introducing common interpretations on reciprocal sides of a communication
or transaction, standards are essential to mutually beneficial trade and
resource efficient international commerce.
Social interaction relies on common respect for fundamental sets of norms,
concepts or meanings – international standards codify these norms to ensure
that they are accessible to all. A product or service conforming to an
international standard is imbued with a trusted symbol of quality, safety or
compatibility. Standards speak to the diversity of our interconnected world,
introducing uniformity at the interfaces where we need to be certain that we
are speaking on the same terms.
Reliability and trust are fundamental components of any process, business,
or service. Behind the scenes, standards and conformity assessment ensure
this reliability and trust. In short, standards make everyday life work.
Everything from tech gadgets and the products we rely on in our offices and
homes, to services that fuel the global economy and ensure health and safety,
relies upon standards and conformance to ensure safety, dependability, and
interoperability. A product or service conforming to an international standard
represents a trusted symbol of quality, safety, and compatibility. Most of all,
standards—developed through a process that is balanced, open, and
transparent—help engender trust among the people, businesses, and
governments that have placed their confidence in the standardization process.
Er K P Ramanathan, FIE, Chairman presented the memento to the chief guest
Er D. Sundarasekaran. Er D Sundarasekaran, FIE, Honorary Secretary
proposed the vote of thanks.

A technical guest lecture meeting was held on 19th November 2016 at 5.00 pm
in IE(I), Tamilnadu State Centre auditorium. The topic of the day was on
“Technological disruptive ideas in farming - opportunities for all engineers”.
Dr G Ranganath, FIE, Chairman IE(I) TNSC welcomed the gathering and introduced
the Chief Guest Er P Gomathinayagam, MIE, Committee Member, Agricultural
Engineering Division, IE(I) TNSC, Chennai.
Er P Gomathinayagam delivered the lecture on the above topic with power point
presentation.
In his speech, for the Past 7 years has seen an unprecedented growth in technology,
which has moved from playing a supportive role in business to “running the
business itself”. In the VUCA world (volatile, uncertainty, complex, Ambiguous
world) of today people are not ready to think of innovation in Farming for fear of
failure, fear of nature, lack of data, lack of “T experts”, in the field of farming.
And Engineer Gomati Nayagam highlighted that today's World, everyone is VUCA
World, and the farmer and farming is always in in VUCA world, and encouraged
the - participants to shift their thinking. And India has abundance sun shine and
26 Agro climatic zones; we have to concentrate on our strengths and instead of
weakness. Crop rotation, seasonal change, has to be seen as opportunity instead
of weakness, the Entrepreneur need not put all his eggs in one single basket. There
are proven cases, where strength alone going to matter in success
Disruptive technological efforts are happening in Delivery, organic retail outlet,
Organic products etc. and people are thinking farm to fork etc. Organic products,
organic shops etc. is not scalable, people are starting with small scale. They have
to aim for minimum target within short period of launch of business. And there are
tremendous opportunities in Lab to land, as our yield levels are very low, the average
farmer is ignorant of his land, soil, water, do not have proper tools, farmer is not
master of his chosen crops, and he is not properly using his resources .
Lab to land itself, there are plenty of opportunities in resource optimization, bringing
expertise, technology, tools, and making the farmer strong to face the unknown. and
we have to think of Crop based, land based, hi tech machinery based, skilled worker
based, B to B, B to C, EOU units, customized online farm management consultancy,
pulse village, etc. . Ola and Uber are running taxis without owning car, why not
Engineer is doing farming without owning the land? Lot of Aggregation models
like OYO rooms, … etc., full inventory, partial inventory, franchise based, market
place model etc., has to be developed, and they has to work both on lab to land
and farm to fork. Instead of setting up vegetable shop, people has to think of
exclusive shop of particular group of vegetables, say like Capsicum or cucumber
or Ooty vegetables, and one has to master of specific activity and should not mix
up with too many products.
Engineer has also highlighted E- National Agriculture Market, which will allow
direct procurement by private players, direct selling by farmers, and single levy in
throughout the one state. E- NAM will help transparent price discovery, marketing,
supply chain inventory etc.
The ground reality is that Farmer producer organizations with more than 100 farmers
are not doing well due to too many equal share holders. And 20 to 50 farmers can
join together to form FPO and in turn, the FPO has look for private equity partners.
“FPO plus Private equity” model can change the face of Agriculture, which will
lead to doubling farmer income. Due to information, education, overall development
of economy, every human being is thinking that he is Raja, to become successful
in Farming, it is necessary be “Raja Rishi” that is “even-minded”, treat all others
as Raja(s), as “Your customers” except U . One has to work on pentagon of success
theory, where one has to work on all five sides equally.
Dr G Ranganath, FIE, Chairman presented the memento to the Chief Guest Er P
Gomathinayagam. About 95 members participated in the thought provoking program.

TECHNICAL PROGRAMME FOR DECEMBER 2016
FORTHCOMING EVENTS
A technical guest lecture meeting was held on 21st November 2016 at 6.00 pm in
IE(I), Tamilnadu State Centre auditorium. The topic of the day was on “Lean
Manufacturing ”.
Er P R Seshadri, FIE, Past Chairman of IE(I) TNSC welcomed the gathering and
introduced the Chief Guest Er D Krishnamachari, MIE, Manufacturing Consultant,
Chennai.
Er D Krishnamachari delivered the lecture on the above topic with power point
presentation.
Manufacturing has been recognized as the main Engine for growth of the economy.
Ever changing globalized environment posing challenges of competitiveness and
survival. Manufacturers in the India face heightened challenges such as rising
customers’ expectation, fluctuating demand, and competition in markets. Manufacturers
are always embracing changes and improvements in their key activities or processes
to cope with the challenges. One way to stay competitive in this globalized market
is to become more efficient.
Lean manufacturing has been receiving a lot of attentions in the industry and many
have benefited in implementing it. Lean manufacturing includes a set of principles
that lean thinkers use to achieve improvements in Business Lean Culture installs a
long standing capability to compete in the highly changing and competitive
environment .It guides Operations leaders to improve Productivity, Quality, Cost and
Lead-time by eliminating waste.
Lean manufacturing is a set of tools. Lean certainly possesses a powerful set of tools
for problem identification, root cause analysis, and problem solving.
Lean manufacturing just for cost reduction. . Lean manufacturing is about making
the work easier and less frustrating so that time at work can be spent on what matters,
serving customers and growing as people. Cost reductions will follow.
Assembly lines, work cells, work teams = Lean manufacturing. The main difference
is the perception that a certain arrangement of people, material and equipment
represents what is Lean manufacturing. Creating cells and working in teams may be
Lean, but the thinking behind why this is a good idea is the important thing, not the
physical or organizational configuration.
Lean = identify value by product, map value streams, flow, pull, pursue perfection.
The emphasis on value streams, flow and pull are somewhat redundant in that they
are all dealing with the idea of overall optimization, which is important but is only
one pillar (JIT) while leaving out the build-in quality pillar of the Toyota house.
Lean is the elimination of waste. Much of Lean is about getting rid of waste (muda).
There is also the elimination of variation (mura) and overburden (muri).
The goal is to provide the customer with a defect free product or service when it is
needed and in the quantity it is needed at a cost which is competitive.The lecture
is aimed at giving an over view of Lean principle. It alleys fears in the minds of
business leaders as well as implementers; managers and workers that it is a fashion
statement & not implementable.
The Presentation is designed to guide the participants through benefits of Lean
Manufacturing. By an example it exposes the Myth of fear amongst the workmen
& managers.
By enlisting various wastes in a Manufacturing environment the presentation brings
out clearly the areas of waste. Helps participants in identifying the wastes & ways
to reduce / eliminate the same.
Er P R Seshadri, FIE, Past Chairman presented the memento to the Chief Guest Er
D Krishnamachari. Er R Ramdoss, MIE, Honorary Secretary proposed the vote of
thanks. About 30 members participated in the program.
