Fun @ POM Classes

Ring toy Solution:

What we were supposed to do:

 

 

 

 

What we additionally did:

 

 

Our First Un-official Batch Shoot

 

(POM Concept: Being a manager u got to utilise all available oppurtunities)

 

Organisational Structures

 

We all brought different structures available around NITIE canteen.

 

I'll upload more photographs as soon as I get hold of them and continue writing my experiences with Principles of POM even after this module or after my PGDIM so that the mission given to us by

 Dr. Mandi, can be fullfilled.

 

 

The classes for POM were always very funfilled, we learned the concepts very deeply without feeling the burden supposed to be attached with a subject with uch a HEAVY name, all thanks to Dr. Mandi, I wish to have more subjects to be taken by him in future

Three Men Valley Crossing Problem

Objective

 

Here are three men walking but are stalled because infront of them lay a valley which they have to cross.

Problem:

1. The width of the gap between the valleys is more than a step so they canot jump over it but less than two steps.

2. There is no temporary bridge available i.e no falt platform which they can lay over the gap and walk over.

Solution Steps:

As Demonostrated by NITIE Students

 

 

After searching for resources they found a round wooden log and they use it to cross the valley. Its illustrated in the picture below.

Creative and wonderful. The image itself is good enough to illustrate that phenomenon.

 

 

Principles of Management Concept Used

TEAM:

A team comprises a group of people linked in a common purpose. Teams are especially appropriate for conducting tasks that are high in complexity and have many interdependent subtasks. the valley cannot be crossed by a single person but as a team they form a synergy and achieve more than what individually they can achieve.

Structuring of Task:

There are three position in this whole task.

1. High Risque: The hanging position is of high risque.

2. Medium Risque: One foot on the ground and other hanging in valley is medium risque.

3. No Risque: The position where both the feet are on ground is of no risque.

Here if you notice all the persons go through this phase. So all positions are same. The tasks should be designed in such a way that it shouldnot be dependent on person.

Structuring of Task Roles:

Tasks should have certain attributes for perfect realisation of a task, which can be stated as:

1.Interlocking roles i.e. highest level of interdependency
2.Highest level of interactions among the members
3.Instantaneous feedback
4,No scope for any Social loafing

The task here is highly interdependent and provides instantenous feedback upon any mishap.

Team Excellence: 

Excellence is efficiency * effectiveness. Individual cannot achieve excellence but a team an organisation can achieve that. Efficiency and effectiveness both comes simultaneously and has to be handled simultaneously. Effectiveness is where to go? and efficiency is how to go efficiently i.e at reduced cost or enhanced safety. But to put effect efficiency one has to again think efficiently.

3 Monks & Water carrying Issue

 

Brief Introduction:

 

The film is based on the ancient Chinese proverb "One monk will shoulder two buckets of water, two monks will share the load, but add a third and no one will want to fetch water.

Story:

 

Part 1 Video:

 

 

 

Part 2 :Video

 

 

 

A young monk lives a simple life in a temple on top of a hill. He has one daily task of hauling two buckets of water up the hill. He tries to share the job with another monk, but the carry pole is only long enough for one bucket. The arrival of a third monk prompts everyone to expect that someone else will take on the chore. Consequently, no one fetches water though everybody is thirsty. At night, a rat comes to scrounge and then knocks the candleholder, leading to a devastating fire in the temple. The three monks finally unite together and make a concerted effort to put out the fire. Since then they understand the old saying "unity is strength" and begin to live a harmonious life. The temple never lacks water again.*

Problem Solution: 

 

When there was one monk he had no other option but to carry the buckets by himself. It was long and tiring. This is Craftmanship and commonises the task as he brings water whenever he likes.

Then comes another monk. Together they to bring water. As the stick is small they could carry only one bucket. But thier effort reduced and they could enjoy their time while comming. But this process had a major drawback, if the bucket was tilted to someones side more he had to carry more load. So a solution was reached by a standard methord that it is to be place at the half position only so as to distribute the load equally.

This methord had an added advantage that here the efficiency increased as manual effort per kg of water reduced drastically and they were fresh on reaching the destination.

Now a problem came when third monk reached. Now work division was difficult and the task was put on each others shoulders. This was poor management and a proof that with poor management compiling more more workers would lead to drop in productivity.

Now with the event of fire all of them worked together in a fire fighting mode and devised a new methord of bringing water to the top.

Principles of Management concepts  Usage

 

This new method has an added number of advantage and practical usage of various Principles of Management concepts , which can be elaborated as below:

 

1. Creative Problem Solution:

 To address a crisis situation in future they devised a pulley methord of bringing up water to the top. This also explains that "Neccessity is mother of all Inventions".

2. Current implications:

This method is a modern day assembly line methord in which productivity increased drastically.

3. Mutuality:

Here in this improved methord there is a high amount of interdependency which reduces the unproductive time due to social loafing is reduced.

4. Theory X & Theory Y Compared:

This method is even better than theory X or theory Y because this reduces the work content on each by so much that it makes work play.So the workers enjoy doing their work.This is theory Z.

5 Specialization, standardisaton & Decentralization Concepts Used:

Here work is de centralized and one person does one job only. This gives enhances productivity and excellence of work as both efficiency and effictiveness increases.

6. Synergy:

Here clear enough is that the three persons working together can put more water to the temple than all the working individually.

Work methods comparison:   
  (Copied from Dr. Mandi's Reference Blog)

	Method I	Method II	Method III
Members	One Monk	Two Monks	Three Monks
Work tools and work method	Two baskets Long stick hanging two buckets  two ends of the long stick..	One basket Long stick hanging  one bucket in the middle	Three baskets Rope, Kuppe, and pulling water bucket on pulli
Input  - Effort by monks  ( Units in Jouls)  ( Esti..)	100 Jouls    by One person	50 Jouls by two persons together	Total effort together by the three monks in this method is almost                            ' INSIGNIFICANT'.
Output - Water	2 baskets	One basket	The output ( number of baskets of water )  that the method can fetch is almost   ' SO MUCH WATER'
Productivity Measure:            ( Input / Output)	100 J / 2 = 50 J per basket of water	50 J / 2 = 25 J per basket of water	Insignificant effort per basket of water
Nature of Member Roles	Independent	Somewhat  Interdependent	Very much Interdependent
Monks Life philosophy@ monastry	Life is misery and Death is the solution @ This is evident as shown  in the film the monk is physically exhausted and gets in to  sleep once he gets water from the pond.	Life some how can be managed to make it worth living ..  @ This is evident as shown in the film the monks engage in  more productive prayers. Monks are shown not sleeping as much as they  used to do earlier.	Life is Fun and even monks can have blissful life..  @ This is evident as shown in the film that the monks  are happy and blissful to work together.
