And so, I have come to the final week of being a GAPster. The past 21 weeks in GAP opened my eyes to all the various operations in the different BUs in SATS, and as executives, we are tasked with the important task to keep our operations moving forward. Naturally, we will face problems here and there, more so in terms of operations. Along the way, I've attended many workshops and found that this is a very important skill that I've learnt, and I would like to share it with everyone.
LEAN SIX SIGMA
 |
| Lean Six Sigma - DOWNTIME |
Yes, I know many of you already know about this, but it's something that I have been exposed to for the very first time. "Lean" and "Six Sigma" are basically project management techniques targeted to reduce waste and maximize returns on investments. As such, it is a very strong tool that can be used across all different types of business to help identify what is not going right with your process, and how to go about rectifying it. "Waste" simply refers to the loss of value of something due to unnecessary or ineffective methods. In this case, it can be as simple as a defect in your product, or as complicated as perform additional steps that do not add any value to your consumers. By applying DOWNTIME (as shown above), it becomes very easy to identify the areas that require improvement and implementations to make your business better.
On top of that, Lean Six Sigma can also be applied to your everyday life, from preparing a meal, to organizing your wardrobe. By discussing the techniques used in a practical way, you can try to classify any additional steps that you have been performing in your daily life, such as walking up and down your kitchen to get condiments, or even moving around your room while getting dressed for work! I find it really cool that I am able to apply such skills that I learn at work to other aspects of my life!
Simple and sweet post which I hope can add value to your life!
