Hi there! My name is Suman Sarkar, and I'm a seasoned professional passionate about process optimization and quality excellence. After receiving my degree in Chemical Engineering, I started a 31-year journey of learning and development in the exciting field of manufacturing.
My career began at one of India's most renowned cement manufacturing enterprises, where the transformative power of quality management deeply inspired me. The unwavering dedication of the top management to excellence in quality led me to join the team in implementing statistical process control (SPC) principles in an exceptional environment.
I sharpened my skills in cost-cutting, quality control, and process optimization right in the middle of the manufacturing industry. My goal was to lower the expense of suboptimal quality and incorporate SPC principles into the development of products with high quality.
As a team leader, I managed a team of over 150 individuals, earning several accolades from management for consistently achieving targets. Over nearly 30 years, I dedicated myself to training and developing team members in the classroom and through on-the-job training in areas such as QMS, EMS, EnMS, Quality Control, Energy Savings, JSA, HIRA, and more. I also guided the team in preparing SOPs for production and QC activities.
I am a Winner of the evils of smoking – a 26-year association that I broke through my perseverance—and spent a lot of time guiding my young colleagues to get rid of smoking habits and presently writing to inspire others through self-help books.
I retired from service and have started collating the experiences gathered so far.
Warm regards,
Suman Sarkar

· For a precise statistical analysis report, the operators must correctly enter the quality analysis data in the system,...
There are various types of grinding mill operation, e.g., open-circuit ball mills, closed-circuit ball mills, air-swept mills, mills equipped with pre-grinders, vertical roller mills, etc. These mills consume nearly 35-40% of the total power required to manufacture one ton of cement. Mills' specific power consumption varies from 19 units to 35 units per ton of cement ground, depending upon the technology and the extent of optimization.
In the case of the cement industry, there are three main...
A complex manufacturing process is often broken down into smaller steps. The output of one subprocess feeds into the input of the following, and so on, until the finished product is manufactured and shipped to the clients. To ensure that the goods possess the intended quality characteristics, the outputs of every subprocess must meet the quality standards required at that phase.
Let’s use the cement manufacturing process to understand the importance of quality control in manufacturing...
