The Process

I went for a metal stamping process control seminar last week, the instructor mention that, the wrinkle, crack, compress mark are due to the flow of material, it may be too much or less.

Some thing come to my mind, The quality of the products can be affected throughout the entire manufacturing process if we don’t control and take serious. The necessity of the qualified person in the work station is high. We can’t simply put in somebody and let him try for three months and remove him under non performance. I had an experience few months ago, when my senior told me to remove a sales person before the confirmation. “He is not performing as what the company expected and he don’t have any knowledge in this industry.” this is what he told me when I ask him why. I can’t understand why the management recruit him on the first place that he had inform the management that his experiences is on furniture sale and not in automotive parts. His basic paid and commission is more that the basic paid over here, he join us is just because we promised him a lot more. He feel so upset when I discuss with him as he is unable to go back to the previous company and cannot continue here.

Process control doesn’t mean for big company or manufacturing factory only. It affect us either personal or to the government, we have to study carefully nor it will crash and face some losses. These losses can be money, time, life or power and control.

Our YAB Prime Minister said “One Malaysia”, all citizen are the same, no second class citizen, the government will give us the equal deal. I would like to ask, how sure he can implement all this, and how sure these documents will reaches the PM. Can he read through all the message send to him or his staff will screen through all the documents.

Now the problem arises, under what standard or what procedure or just follow his mode or to what he like. Can the officer dispose off all documents related to what he don’t like, or can he just remove all documents that are not from his friends. How sure the PM know what you said and what I said?

Let me refresh the memories, I had this from a firm saying that I am not a Malay. Can our PM ensure this will not happen again. I doubt again, can this message reach the PM. Our political leaders may have make a decision for the benefit of the people, but then they are not the one who enforce the decision, the enforcement is done by someone else, do they respect the decision? Can the government take action if they don’t follow the instruction if there are interest between them. How can the government educate them? How can you ask someone who is getting something free now, or daily, to give up the free offer and start working under the sun?

Look at the religious issue, what is that so many argument, why someone insist others to stay in a certain religion , they seems like the extremist, forcing others to do something beyond their own view and belief.

Once again, I conclude that no matter what we do, we have to consider and study before we start the process, don’t wait until the final process then only we found out the product is not up to our expectation. It is important to have a process engineer.

nice to read your writings..keep it up. A good observation indeed. It's good if we can discuss further some other time. The question to achieve one malaysia? It is a heavy discussion but we need to start some where..surprisingly no followers ehh? It could be an indicator that Malaysians put the need to 'think' at their lowest priority..
