Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book on 5S is a practical guide to building awareness and enabling implementation of 5S in the workplace. It is based on several decades of experience of the author in industry and consultancy. 5S is a Japanese Management approach and a commitment towards improvement of Quality, Productivity, Delivery, Cost, Safety and Morale. The first five words in Japanese-Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke- written in English start with S, hence the term 5S.5S has to be seen as the very basic tool for improvement. It is not limited to housekeeping. There is a cause behind every dirt in the floor. 5S opens our eyes to these minor problems. It is these minor problems when ignored result in major problems like a fire, machine breakdown or big quality defect resulting in customer returns.5S is not only for a manufacturing plant. In fact, it does wonders for service industry. The author has put together in one place his experiences and practice of 5S gained through his training and consultancy assignments as a facilitator and coach. In addition, the author is available on line to coach the readers in implementation of 5S in their plant, office or personal life. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. '25 Lessons From Uncommon Thoughts' is based on the author's childhood observations, his work life experiences and his insights as a self-employed and independent working professional. The story-telling method profusely laced with wit and quotes has been used to convey lessons from uncommon thoughts. For example, the author talks about focusing on strengths while conventionally we spot weaknesses and put lot of efforts on correcting it. In trying to do what others are doing we miss out on our passion. At the end of our school and college years, we have lost our strengths because we had no time to cultivate them, and our weaknesses remained as before because we had no passion for those subjects. The message to youngsters from all streams of life is that they must develop core skills of learning, thinking, striving, relating and listening. We need to challenge the assumptions and change ourselves, for if we go on doing things as before, we will remain where we were.The author realises from his life experiences that we are wrong in most of our preconceived thoughts and feelings judging people by their name, dress, appearance, and so forth. Failing is inherent when you work and experiment, and sometimes may get conned, or lose in the stock market, but every failure has to be seen as a way of learning and moving forward. 'This too shall pass' is something we must not forget in both our good and bad times.The author is a big advocate of entrepreneurship and wealth creation sharing examples of entrepreneurial drivers to motivate people more qualified and experienced to take up an entrepreneurial career. The book contains many lessons for all like refiring yourself than considering early retirement, doing things than sermonising, refraining from blaming others, trusting people, replication and growth of business through standardisation, systems and processes, like the success of McDonalds and the Toyotas, and continual learning, for knowledge never goes waste.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The author's enlightenment is the realisation that problems exist in everyday life, be it personal or work related, and each problem presents itself as a treasure of opportunity. Instead of sulking over a problem, or cursing one's fate, and trying to win sympathies as a victim, it is better to develop critical thinking and analytical skills for problem solving and enjoy finding solutions to problems. The major effort in problem solving goes in identifying and defining the problem correctly based on observation, facts and data, and avoiding the temptation to formulate the problem on perceptions or hearsay. The book aims at triggering the thought process and providing exposure to problem-solving tools currently in use.Almost all the problems that we face today have happened earlier with some individual, business organisation or industry, in some corner of the world, and successful solutions have been found. If one open's one mind and explores, thinks without mental blocks, the solutions can be found. TRIZ principles have evolved out of existing innovations. The critical examination using Why.Why and 5W1H method is based on Socrates questioning approach to learning and understanding. The fish bone diagram, Pareto analysis and various statistical methods are the outcome of a scientific way of defining and analysing a problem.Not having a problem is a 'problem'. The more problems you can identify, greater will be your growth, as each problem has 'hidden wealth' and needs you to get out of your 'comfort zone' to unravel the opportunity.The author has used simple, cost effective techniques, many of which are from the domain of quality management and operations excellence. They are easy to understand and are a powerhouse in their effect and impact. The problem-solving competencies should be acquired by all, young and old, and the initiation should be done at the school stage to reap maximum benefits This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Though many economists disagree, I have always believed that India should dominate manufacturing. This would not only increase our GDP and self-sufficiency but also provide gainful employment at different skill levels. Like China, we too can become a manufacturing hub, producing quality and value-added products. By moving men and women from agriculture to the manufacturing workforce with focused training, we can significantly improve their earnings. Currently, the strain on farmers with fractured land holdings drives many to despair, even to the point of suicide.My book, "Operations Management Demystified: A Springboard for Further Study", is not a textbook in the traditional sense. Those are already available for rigorous study by students and professionals. Instead, this book aims to whet the readers' appetites, to spark curiosity and excitement about operations management-a field that pervades our homes, shops, services, and manufacturing units of all sizes. If successful, this book will help demystify the often opaque world of operations and encourage people from diverse educational backgrounds to confidently engage in this vital area.As an engineer from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, with over four decades of experience in the industry-both as a full-time professional and a consultant-I have had the opportunity to learn operations from input to output across a range of industries. These include steel, automobiles, textiles, tiles, fertilizers, engineering, electrical switchgear, wires and cables, bulbs, soap making, picture tubes, electronics, food processing, mineral processing, modern ports and SEZs, technology-based warehousing, and the service industry.In this book, I share my experiences in operations management, aligning them with what is taught in formal engineering and management schools, combined with insights from various training programs that employers may offer for skill upgrades-programs that employees often attend grudgingly and learn little from.
