Title of the Talk: Company-wide Quality Culture: Lean Six Sigma as an enabler

Abstract:

For any organization aiming to achieve operational excellence, it is important to ensure that a proper foundation for a company-wide quality (CWQ) culture exits. This foundation is a comprehensive company-wide management system (CWMS) which can serve as an infrastructure for improving and controlling the different operation systems of any organization. CWMS mainly draws on five MSs, strategic management, initiative management, daily management, process management and performance management. It ensures the proper alignment of all people and processes, the optimization of resources and enhancement of performance. One key enabler of that is the Lean Six Sigma Methodology. The proper implementation of this methodology will enhance the CWQ culture. This Seminar will cover CWMS, CWQ culture and the LSS culture-related aspects.

Abstract

Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with its intelligent monitoring and controlling applications and predictive and preventive maintenance of industrial equipment is capable of collecting and analyzing a large amount of data, achieving high operational efficiency, increased productivity, and better management of industrial assets and processes. However, the connected industrial assets have increased exposure to the new cyber-physical risks including Targeted Attacks or Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that are on the rise and have emerged as the most complicated Multi-Stage Attacks, hitting the industrial companies and governmental organizations. APTs that are designed with a particular motive, are sophisticated, professional, state supported and systematic cyber-attack programs in which an attacker is motivated, skilled, organized and well-funded. The existing cyber security intrusion detection techniques and traditional defensive mechanisms are no longer sufficiently effective against APTs which is the most worrisome situation and thus, novel and more effective solutions are required to predict, detect and mitigate APT threats. APTs are a global scourge and a challenging targeted attack so today in this speech we will discuss APT attacks and their characteristics particularly in case of oil and gas industries. Moreover, we would also discuss prevention and detections methods devised for countering APTs as well as some recommendations in this domain.
