Bottleneck Vs Discipline

 Bottleneck Vs Discipline: Though a technical terminology used to define the process flow constraints, it can still be related to every other system when the efficiency evaluation is carried out.

In any process industry, there are various stages of operations & functions & each of these functions has their standard processing time, that when combined with every process & operation from input to be converted into finished goods may help determine the overall cycle time of the entire process. 
So for example there are A, B, C, D & E processes defined to get a desired Finished Product, process A takes 10 minutes to complete, B takes 12 minutes, while C & D may take 10 minutes & E again takes 11 minutes, here process B with highest time consuming process is the bottleneck, hence all necessary constraints may have to be studied & reviewed to either reduce the process time of B to 10 minutes or if possible then it should be even reduced further. Once process B time is reduced to 10 minutes, the next bottleneck will be E. And so on there can be continuous improvement in each process to make sure that all available technological innovations are deployed to ensure that these process time remains optimized without compromising quality, safety & cost.
A long & profound study on these methodology has enough evidence that the human resources deployed in these operations & functions responsible for optimization of any given process are major bottlenecks that keep impacting & varying the end results.
Human resources may give inconsistent results depending upon all given external circumstances, i.e. economical situation, home environment, personal life challenges, interpersonal issues at workplace, unfulfilled expectations, wasted interests & so on.
If any Organization is liberal enough to look into either of it & may consider giving any solution to it, another constraint may come up & it may never give any desired results whatsoever investment of time & resources are made.
It is because of this inconsistent nature of the input from Humans, Discipline in every organization becomes an inevitable medium & tool to address the most difficult & yet critical bottleneck of every process.
Without discipline while the process output remains unpredictable, the entire business too may remain vulnerable in almost every quarter.

DO NOT ADMIT TO ANYTHING!

  Food for thought 6th Feb, 2024 DO NOT ADMIT TO ANYTHING! Have you ever come across individuals who never admit to anything, I mean anything. That is even if they may have made horrible choices, blunders that may have displaced them by large, or hurt someone badly with their actions, all these are negative experiences, yet they do not for even a second think that they have done anything wrong, instead they believe that all they did was right.  Now you may also see that the same set of people will never admit to anything good as well, if you ask them how was the food, they will say NOT BAD, how was your day today they will say NOT BAD, if you give them a treat and a good brunch, they will thank God as they came out and did not sit at home. You just cannot see any sense or degree of realization in them neither for anything irrational that they continue to commit or anything good that comes around. Now let us understand how it all plays out when we talk about the law of attracti...

Why Do People Change?

  Why Do People Change? More than often we ask these questions, especially when we experience a changed behavior from someone, so then what is happening to them, that they had to change, what was bothering them or triggered them to act in a certain way that we never expected, a ton of questions arises. Let us try to understand what is going on here. We meet certain individuals for the very first time, that is either for professional objectives or personal goals. So in summary there is a need for an interaction to exchange skills, knowledge or companionship in case of personal relationships. When first few meetings & interactions are taking place, both the parties will PRETEND as much as possible and give an impression of being the best version of themselves, in fact some of them may actually be that kind of nice person when they are at their best. Here we give & take impressions about each other that were well crafted, calculated & created to win the trus...

Directly Proportional!

  Directly Proportional! There are some basic human nature, tendencies & behaviors that can be easily related to the roots of every individual. A)  Maturity level  is directly proportional to the level at which they are with respect to their empathy & compassion. The more compassionate they will be in their approach the more mature will be their thinking, reasoning & actions. B)  Sincerity level  is directly proportional to the level of the truthfulness they may have realized. The more they are truthful to themselves the more sincere they will be to everyone & in everything. D)  Ego  of any individual will be directly proportional to the level of their insecurities & fears. The more they are dwelling in their fears the stronger will remain their ego to defend themselves. E)  Patience  in any individual will be directly proportional to the level of success they have experienced in their lives. The more they have s...
