Once there was a man called Taichi Ohno.
He was working as a supervisor in one of the world famous Japanese car manifacturing company.
In that comapny,there was a conveyor belt on which cars used to get manifactured 24*7, all the time long.
Many processes like car chassising, rear suspensioning, front suspensioning, electronic fittings, wheel hub fittings, painting used to take place one by one on that belt.
After some days, few of the workers complainted to Taichi Ohno saying some processes takes a lot of time for some car models, which in turn increasing the traffic at the end of the belt, putting extra pressure on the next sequential process and creating a lot of workload on the people too..... Solution????
Taichi Ohno decided to work on one idea. He drew a circle. Asked the workers, who'd complainted to him, to stand in the circle and just watch the overall manufacturing process, jot the comments if any. He repeated the process almost for a month.
Everyday those workers used to stand in the circle, watch the process, note down their comments.......
cars getting manifactured, deployed, painted, built....... everyday.
After a month, Taichi Ohno called them and asked for their comments and observations.......
All of them started shooting their thoughts. .. we should do this, we shoudn't do this, we should do this process first, we don't need this process here at all, this process is affecting the overall processing speed...... there were lots.
Taichi Ohno asked them to implement what they thought. They did and the results were amazing....
They observed, they noted down, they thought, they discussed and they implemented... They got fianally what they were looking for. :)
This process is nothing but called, introspection. Introspect yourself everyday.
If you can give proper justification for the things you did, go ahead.
But if you can't satisfy yourself with the answer, it's time to change the working and thinking style.
Stand out right in the circle. Keep your tags, statuses outside for somet time and watch. You will find the solutions to the problem you are facing, the mistakes you did, new improvements on your own.
Try Taichi Ohno today!!!!
I wasn't very familier with Pune earlier to my marriage...
But when I shifted to Pune and started working, my company was around 13-14 kms away from my home.
So obviously the first question arised was "the route to take" for it.
There were around 2-3 alternatives.. But what everyone insisted was to avoid the Furgussion college road, mainly known as "FC Road"
Reason??? There were many.... the bikers, the voice, traffic jams, pollution and many more....
I became a little bit curious. I actually wanted to "see" the road.
So one day while coming back to office, I decidecd to take that route....
And what I found?? yes there were traffic jams, it was noisy, a little bit polluted too... but at the same time it was also fresh, completely new and extremely live.
It refreshed my memories of the college days.. the guys, girls were in groups, on their bikes, sipping coffee, discussing ideas, completing their projects, preparing for the theatre completitions, chitchatting in general in the hotels nearby, commenting on the latest fashions, doing lots off show off for latest outfits, enjoying the chats/icecreams on the stalls and what not?
I enjoyed the whole atmosphere and in fact started liking that road very much....I started taking that path almost everyday..
Wasn't it hampering my time?? It was actually.
Though, I was loosing a few extra minutes but I was gaining a lot of energy for the rest of the day..
I miss all that today as my company reloaced somewhere else now.
So in case if you don't like FC road at all and you have to pass it for some reason, try looking at it from the this perspective...
It's always better to change our attitude rather than trying to change the whole situation, what say?
