AIS sets standards
The Association for International Standards (AIS), associated to
the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) has over the years assisted
organisations to streamline operations, support internal thought
leadership while developing strategies to promote products which
in turn creates continuous demand for products and services. It
also drives organisations towards continued growth. Over the
past 11 years, AIS has helped the business community by
introducing and promoting international standards.
During the past year AIS has had a series of seminars and
workshops that have been target-oriented, at all levels from
different sectors thereby enabling participants to relate to the
issues at hand and work towards overcoming them successfully.
The areas focused on have been Management for Efficiency
Improvement, HACCP, Six Sigma, Clean Development Mechanism, ISO
9000, Social Accountability 8000, Introduction to ISO 22000,
Budgeting in a Competitive Market Environment, Quality
Management System for HR Managers, Training Need Analysis, Biz
Etiquette, Journey from Fat to Fit, amongst others. Some of
these workshops have been conducted in Sinhala as well. These
programmes have helped the businesses to be more competitive
within both local and international markets.
The success achieved has spurred AIS to promote Best Practices
in Competitive Strategy, Leadership, Marketing, Productivity,
Quality, Safety, Social Accountability and IT. This has enabled
Sri Lankan businesses to get a leading edge in local and global
markets. In the current climate and with downturns being
reported every day AIS continues to focus on making the best out
of the situation and urges organisations to adopt the formula or
formulae as the case may be that they have learned through the
seminars and workshops that have been target-driven. AIS
continues to work in collaboration with other national, regional
and international associations, and institutions and
organisations to promote, propagate and advance International
Standards so as to spread the benefits of adopting Best
Practices which are an integral part of the current day business
to business activities that would serve to generate economic
growth and stability with an organisation. It also provides the
forum to exchange knowledge and experience through interactive
meetings and study visits amongst businesses.
AIS’ programme of activities will equip and arm participants to
be prepared to face the challenges of a competitive world and
achieve personal growth as well by encouraging the practice of
International Standards.
