                                       WIN WIN FOR ALL 


Hello everyone,
 
Hope you having good time.

Well, previously we discussed that how manufacturer win from the side of customers, end users. Now, Its about government , Well, BIS is government organization so, the reporting system ends there. 

Each and every ISI product manufacturer have to perform tests on their products according to mentioned in ISI norms, Which is unique and different for each and everyone. And they have to send report to ISI or BIS authorities whenever they ask for. 

How it goes (according to rules)

  • Manufacturer perform test ( May be or may be not).
  • They prepare reports in standard format which is described by ISI.(They just make reports by referring to ISI norms. Means they add false values so that on paper their product is genuine ISI)
  • They send their reports to ISI authorities and its done for this step.
Now this is just a step.

  • BIS have inspection system. BIS send their representative to the manufacturing unit form inspection.
  • Inspection is held after standard time of period decided by BIS.
  • Now, this is interesting,  when ever inspection is held, BIS informs the manufacturer about Date and time when inspection will be held. 
  • So, this how manufacturer gets information that they are coming and they are being prepared for that.
  • As they know , they are  being prepared for inspection. They start to manufacture standard products according to ISI norms, so that inspection can get smooth.
  • When the time arrives of  inspection, ISI representative goes to manufacturer unit. Now, at least we expect that ISI inspector would be highly acknowledged about everything he inspecting, But believe me, Sometimes, it happens that he or she does not know anything at all about it. 
  • He comes, reads ISI norms, as he is not knowing any rules or norms at all. 
  • He ask to perform  some tests. even though he does not knowing anything about it.
  • He collects the sample form manufacturer. ( which obviously will be of standard quality and so much different form ones they supply in the market.
  • He collects reports which they are maintaining during test.
  • Then after he goes directly to the most senior designated authority of company and ask about bribe, Cash. As he is certain that manufacturers are not doing everything legal.
  • He gets it and fill up his report as everything is going fine and according to rules.  
So, this is how customer thinks that he spent for good product ISI marked product(Which is only ISI marked product not ISI quality product).  Manufacturer is succeeded to clear his both, customer side and government side and he is gaining remarkable profit and He is also cleared from government side. BIS main authorities gets positive reports form their inspection representative and they are  convinced that everything going fine.

So, On paper this is WIN WIN FOR ALL, But actually its win only fr manufacturer and the one who is corrupted and yet respected ISI Inspection representative.
Its lose for US. 

Should not we think about it????


Well, In next one we will discuss, that how it should be to get better results. 

Pay good but pay good only for good

Have nice time ahead to all.
