Do not forget learning but learn forgetting 5 PRODUCTIVITY CHRONICLE You need a Vacation B e a better employee, not a martyr. Here are a few reasons you should take a break from your job. Plus: How to sneak away for just a few hours. Are we so worried about keeping our jobs that we're refusing to leave our desks? Are we so busy picking up the slack for our downsized coworkers that we don't dare think about a trip to the beach/lake/Hogwarts School? Maybe so, but vacations make us better people—and better employees. Here's how to look at it: Are you a slackers when it comes to time off? Many of us didn't take all their vacation days last year. A full 89 percent of the French took their time off—and they get more than a month of it. A more stressful workplace makes vacations more important than ever. “The research is clear that failing to take a vacation creates higher levels of stress and greater levels of disengagement at work,” Douglas J. Matthews, of Manpower/Right Management, tells forbes.com. We've forgotten what a vacation feels like. That week off takes some getting used to. “Keep vacationing, and it will feel right,” says Psychology Today blogger (and psychologist) Ian Newby-Clark. Though it may be “excruciating” the first few days, he adds, you'll stop checking e-mail and start feeling untethered soon enough. Forgoing a vacation doesn't make you more important. “Take your vacation, and let them miss you,” advises's Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio. You'll be a better problem solver. That's what Jonah Lehrer explains on wired.com. One experiment— “Lessons from a Faraway Land: The Effect of Spatial Distance on Creative Cognition,” done at Indiana University—found that students tackled problems better after they were told the conflicts originated in Greece or California, instead of in Indiana. “Our surroundings constrain our creativity,” concludes Lehrer. “It's not until we're napping by the pool with a piña colada in hand—when work seems a million miles away—that we suddenly find the answer we've needed all along.” Release Your Inner Pretty T empted by an endless array of pricey lotions, potions and procedures promising a youngerlooking, shiner you? There is a better way. Get your glow on naturally with tips from registered nutritionist and author Joey Shulman. These ideas work well for both guys and gals. Hydrate. Every morning, drink a glass of warm or hot water mixed with juice from half a lemon “It's an easy life-changer for your skin and health,” says Shulman. Not only is it hydrating and high in vitamin C but it also acts as a natural astringent for the digestive system. Throughout the day, also drink plenty of water. Eat Omega-3S. To decrease fine lines and increase skin elasticity, consume more foods with omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as nuts and seeds. Also take a distilled fish-oil supplement every day. in antioxidants and vitamin C, such as broccoli and papayas. Sleep right. “Lack of sleep can make your face look more lined and can make weight loss harder,” says Shulman. Aim for seven to eight hours a night, and avoid having heavy meals before bed. Maintain a regular sleep routine, going to sleep and waking up at the same time each day. Brush your skin. With a body brush from a health food store, gently brush all over your skin surface. Start by brushing your feet, knees and then up towards your heart. For your face, buy a separate softer brush. Then hop in the shower to rinse off any excess skin. “Do this three or four times a week to slough off dead skin cells and increase the brightness of your skin,” says Shulman.

The greatness of this world is that yesterday he was and today he is not – Thirukkural 53 YEARS Lean Manufacturing KA Balamathan Consultant, Cbe. Introduction “Lean” operating principles began in manufacturing environments and are known by a variety of synonyms; Lean Manufacturing, Lean Production, Toyota Production System, etc. What is Lean ? “A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement, flowing the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection.” Keep in mind that Lean applies to the entire organization. Although individual components or building blocks of Lean may be tactical and narrowly focused, we can only achieve maximum effectiveness by using them together and applying them crossfunctionally through the system. Overview of the Toyota Production System The wastes noted above are commonly referred to as non-valued-added activities, and are known to Lean practitioners as the Eight Wastes. Taiichi Ohno (codeveloper of the Toyota Production System) suggests that these account for up to 95% of all costs in non-Lean manufacturing environments. These wastes are: Overproduction – Producing more than the customer demands. The corresponding Lean principle is to manufacture based upon a pull system, or producing products just as customers order them. Anything produced beyond this (buffer or safety stocks, work-inprocess inventories, etc.) ties up valuable labor and material resources that might otherwise be used to respond to customer demand. l Waiting – This includes waiting for material, information, equipment, tools, etc. Lean demands that all resources are provided on a just-in-time (JIT) basis – not too soon, not too late. l Transportation – Material should be delivered to its point of use. Instead of raw materials being shipped from the vendor to a receiving location, processed, moved into a warehouse, and then transported to the assembly line, Lean demands that the material be shipped directly from the vendor to the location in the assembly line where it will be used. The Lean term for this technique is called point-of-use-storage (POUS). l Non-Value-Added-Processing – Some of the more common examples of this are reworking (the product or service should have been done correctly the first time), deburring (parts should have been produced without burrs, with properly designed and maintained tooling), and inspecting (parts should have been produced using statistical process control techniques to eliminate or minimize the amount of inspection required). A technique called Value Stream Mapping is frequently used to help identify non-valued-added steps in the process (for both manufacturers and service organizations). l Excess Inventory – Related to Overproduction, inventory beyond that needed to meet customer demands negatively impacts cash flow and uses valuable floor space. One of the most important benefits for implementing Lean Principles in manufacturing organizations is the elimination or postponement of plans for expansion of warehouse space. l Defects – Production defects and service errors waste resources in four ways. First, materials are consumed. Second, the labor used to produce the part (or provide the service) the first time cannot be recovered. Third, labor is required to rework the product (or redo the service). Fourth, labor is required to address any forthcoming customer complaints. l Excess Motion – Unnecessary motion is caused by poor workflow, poor layout, housekeeping, and inconsistent or undocumented work methods. l Underutilized People – This includes underutilization of mental, creative, and physical skills and abilities, where non-Lean environments only recognize It is not hat I have never existed before, not thou, nor all these things – Bhagavad Gita 11 PRODUCTIVITY CHRONICLE underutilization of physical attributes. Some of the more common causes for this waste include – poor workflow, organizational culture, inadequate hiring practices, poor or non-existent training, and high employee turnover. Lean Building Blocks In order to reduce or eliminate the above wastes, Lean practitioners utilize many tools or Lean Building Blocks. Successful practitioners recognize that, although most of these may be implemented as stand-alone programs, few have significant impact when used alone. The more common building blocks are listed below. Note that some are used only in manufacturing organizations, but most apply equally to service industries. l Pull System – The technique for producing parts at customer demand. Service organizations operate this way by their very nature. Manufacturers, on the other hand, have historically operated by a Push System, building products to stock (per sales forecast), without firm customer orders. l Kanban – A method for maintaining an orderly flow of material. Kanban cards are used to indicate material order points, how much material is needed, from where the material is ordered, and to where it should be delivered. l Work Cells – The technique of arranging operations and/or people in a cell (U-shaped, etc.) rather than in a traditional straight assembly line. Among other things, the cellular concept allows for better utilization of people and improves communication. l Total Productive Maintenance – TPM capitalizes on proactive and progressive maintenance methodologies and calls upon the knowledge and cooperation of operators, equipment vendors, engineering, and support personnel to optimize machine performance. Results of this optimized performance include; elimination of breakdowns, reduction of unscheduled and scheduled downtime, improved utilization, higher throughput, and better product quality. Bottom-line results include; lower operating costs, longer equipment life, and lower overall maintenance costs. l Total Quality Management – Total Quality Management is a management system used to continuously improve all areas of a company's operation. TQM is applicable to every operation in the company and recognizes the strength of employee involvement. l Quick Changeover (Single Minute Exchange of Dies) – The technique of reducing the amount of time to change a process from running one specific type of 12 product to another. The purpose for reducing changeover time is not for increasing production capacity, but to allow for more frequent changeovers in order to increase production flexibility. Quicker changeovers allow for smaller batch sizes. See Batch Size Reduction below for more details. l Batch Size Reduction – Historically, manufacturing companies have operated with large batch sizes in order to maximize machine utilization, assuming that changeover times were “fixed” and could not be reduced. Because Lean calls for the production of parts to customer demand, the ideal batch size is ONE. However, a batch size of one is not always practical, so the goal is to practice continuous improvement to reduce the batch size as low as possible. Reducing batch sizes reduces the amount of work-in-process inventory (WIP). Not only does this reduce inventory-carrying costs, but also production lead-time or cycle time is approximately directly proportional to the amount of WIP. Therefore, smaller batch sizes shorten the overall production cycle, enabling companies to deliver more quickly and to invoice sooner (for improved cash flow). Shorter production cycles increases inventory turns and allows the company to operate profitably at lower margins, which enables price reductions, which increases sales and market share. l 5S or Workplace Organization – This tool is a systematic method for organizing and standardizing the workplace. It's one of the simplest Lean tools to implement, provides immediate return on investment, crosses all industry boundaries, and is applicable to every function with an organization. Because of these attributes, it's usually our first recommendation for a company implementing Lean. Visual Controls – These are simple signals that provide an immediate and readily apparent understanding of a condition or situation. Visual controls enable someone to walk into the workplace and know within a short period of time (usually thirty seconds) what's happening with regards to production schedule, backlog, workflow, inventory levels, resource utilization, and quality. Barriers to Successful Implementation Many of the companies that attempt to implement Lean experience difficulties and/or are not able to achieve the anticipated benefits. Some of our own observations in this area include: Justice is an unassailable fortress built on the bow of a mountain – the Koran 53 YEARS l The company implements the building blocks in the wrong sequence. For example, if batch sizes are reduced prior to reducing changeover time, and changeover times are lengthy, equipment utilization will drop, and the ability to serve customers will be reduced. A typical reaction to this might be, “We tried to implement Lean, and things got worse.” Of course, they did. l Choosing a difficult or low-impact project as the first one. Lean isn't difficult, but can be complicated because of all the variables and communication involved. If the first Lean project isn't successful or generates little return on investment, cooperation and support for future projects will fade. Overlooking administrative areas. Some manufacturing environments, especially continuous processes have only small or insignificant opportunities in the production or operations areas. Implementing Lean there will provide little impact. l l The company spends too much time on training and not "doing," or they start at the wrong place. l Failing to expand lean implementation to the supply chain. Because of the need for just-in-time delivery of materials, minimization of inventories and Lean's dependence upon high quality products and services, companies need to bring suppliers into the improvement efforts. If critical suppliers cannot deliver on time, and in smaller quantities, the benefits of Lean will be greatly diminished or even non-existent. The development of a lean supply chain is probably one of the most difficult, but more financially rewarding, aspects of implementing Lean. Lean radically impacts every person in every function of an organization, and literally changes the organizational culture. The change causes discomfort, and many companies are not able to cope with this magnitude of change. l It takes years to fully understand and implement lean throughout a large organization. Benefits of Implementing Lean Some of Lean's benefits are summarized below. Operational Improvements Typical improvements were reported by the lean followers as follows: Ÿ Lead Time (Cycle Time) reduced by 90% Ÿ Productivity increased by 50% Ÿ Work-In-Process Inventory reduced by 80% Ÿ Quality improved by 80% Ÿ Space Utilization reduced by 75% Administrative Improvements A small sample of specific improvements in administrative functions is: Ÿ Reduction in order processing errors Ÿ Reduction of paperwork in office areas Ÿ Reduced staffing demands, allowing the same number of office staff to handle larger numbers of orders And finally, Lean organizations are able to be more responsive to market trends, deliver products and services faster, and provide products and services less expensively than their non-lean counterparts. Lean crosses all industry boundaries, addresses all organizational functions, and impacts the entire system – supply chain to customer base. |õ@© PhÄÒ!

With any endeavour that involves a goal or accomplishment, there needs to be a measurable result. Without some discernible accomplishment, the element of productivity is lacking. Notice whenever you either produce a result or have some story, justification or excuse for why the result may be lacking. Your power will come from taking responsibility for making a result happen in spite of any challenges or circumstances that may cross your path. 2. There must be personal development occurring. You can achieve all the money, possessions and fame possible, but without learning something that moves you forward personally, the achievement is incomplete. Your intention to examine each situation, interaction and communication to evaluate what worked about it and what was missing that may have supported your power and effectiveness will provide insights to ensure that this element of personal development is present as you go about your day. 3. Your must have fun. No matter how successful you may be, if you hate the process and have not stopped to enjoy yourself along the way, your accomplishment has surely been lacking. You get to decide what will constitute having fun. Identify your values and passions and ensure that they are honoured and included as a condition that must be met as you design your accomplishments. Your focus on having fun will result in it happening because of your intention that it be so. Rating Your Accomplishments: As you take on projects and set goals, rate yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 in your journal with respect to: A - Measurable Results, B - Personal Growth, C - Fun Your focus on all three areas will produce a worthwhile and enjoyable victory with substance. Are You Living Life Backwards? Larry as a tremendous success by most standards. He had built a company from scratch that netted $ 5 million a year in bottom-line profit. He had all the houses, cars, boats and other toys that we usually equate with success. But no matter how well he did, no matter how much wealth or how many things he amassed, it was never quite enough. He somehow could not get over the persistent thought that he was a failure. There was little satisfaction in anything he accomplished. Throughout his childhood, if his report card showed all A’s and a B+, he would be disappointed for not applying himself more. He could still hear his dad scolding him, saying, “Come on, Larry! You can do better than that!” It was the same story for everything he did. No matter what the accomplishment, the feeling of satisfaction was always short-lived. He would always find a way to invalidate himself, thinking it wasn’t that big a deal after all to achieve whatever he did. There was always another bigger, steeper, tougher mountain to climb. Once he climbed THAT mountain, he’d be happy. But after doing so, there was always little sense of lasting accomplishment awaiting him at the top. So, he’d be off looking for that next prize to attain — and then, surely, he’d be happy. As a result to who you are and what you do, you’ll naturally have those qualities and things that provide you with a rich sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Your life flows out of your declaration. No evidence is required. You are empowered to act because of who you are and your action will cause you to have those things consistent with who you are and what you do. All too often, we measure the value of our lives by what we accomplish. We set out goals and conduct our life’s work with the intention of amassing the money, cars, homes, toys, and titles that we hope will provide us with the concrete evidence we feel we need to prove that we are valuable and our lives have been meaningful. After years of struggle and with little satisfaction from the daily grind we’ve chosen, we may look back upon our lives with the hollow sadness that comes with regret. Rather than gaining clarity about what is most important to us, we pursue the symbols of accomplishment. We dishonour our most important values, often oblivious to what these values are. We live without passion and postpone finding joy in our days, hoping that the fulfillment will eventually come one day following the accomplishment of our goals. We convince Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts – William hazlitt 25 PRODUCTIVITY CHRONICLE ourselves that one more achievement, promotion, or pay raise will provide us with the meaning in life we seek. receiving anything from me. Go now and return when you are able to make room to receive from another.” We tie our self-image to these accomplishments. Without them, we are unworthy, a failure, and unlovable. We seek to prove our worth to others by what we amass and what we accomplish. But this never seems to be enough, so we are driven to do more and have more. We fail to realize that we are already inherently worthy and a contribution to others simply by manifesting our unique, magnificent gifts. It is by being true to ourselves, identifying our passion and living in harmony with our key values and in alignment with our life-purpose, that fulfillment and joy result. In our western culture, we are addicted to finding the answer. No matter what the question is, we look for The Answer that will solve our problem. Our addiction to The answer keeps us from the much more valuable practice of discovering what is possible. In contrast to needing to come up with the answer to any concern, a willingness to remain always open and curious will provide us with a rich, continuing flow of insight leading to a more profound understanding. Living Life Out of your Declaration of Who You Choose to Be 1. In the different areas of your life, where do you need evidence to be the person you choose to be? 2. What is your gift to the world? What do you most contribute to others? From what values will you choose to live? For what qualities will you be known? Speak these qualities as an empowering affirmation, “I am a ...” (Example: I am a fun, kind, compassionate, creative, and loving friend.) 3. What action are consistent with this declaration? 4. Record your invented declaration in your journal, listing all of the qualities you will be known for as well as the action you will commit to that are consistent with this declaration. Impatience in staying with the question often comes from an unwillingness to admit that we do not have all the answers. Declaring ourselves novices in any arena creates room to adequately investigate all of the possibilities and ramifications without having to come up with an answer. It is often more productive to generate possibilities than to rush into finding a solution or answer that, once found, shuts off any further exploration of the question. Staying With the Question Begin to notice any attachment to finding the answer to a problem. Decide instead to stay open to possibilities and to keep inquiring, Write your daily observations in your journal. Being Committed to the Question More Than the Answer There was once a very wealthy and learned young man who went to the East to seek out a wise Zen master as his new mentor. He jointed him for afternoon tea saying, “Wise Master, I have studied at many universities and obtained many degrees and have been subjected to many foolish people who have been able to teach me little that I have not already known. I now wish to study with you so that you can teach me all your wisdom.” The Zen master reached over to pour tea into the young man’s tea cup. The hot tea filled the cup and continued to flow out all over the young man’s cloths, burning him in the process. The young man jumped up and yelled, “You stupid man, can’t you see what you are doing? You’re spilling hot tea all over me?” “Until you empty your cup to create room to receive from others, all contributions will be wasted.” The Zen master stopped pouring and spoke, “Young man, until your cup is empty, you are incapable of 26 Words without ideas are like sails without winds – Rajaji 53 YEARS |À» EÓÄPÎß AìvÁõµ® Gx? |õ® JÆöÁõ¸Á¸÷© ÁõÌUøP°À ]» Âå¯[PÍU PØÖU öPõsk, Aøu ©ÚvÀ £zvµ¨ £kzvU öPõÒQ÷Óõ®.

It isn't a body part you are likely to think much about. But with just a little effort, you can prolong the life of your brain cells. According to Alzheimer's Disease International, at least 36 million people have dementia worldwide, a figure that is projected to increase to over 115 million by 2050. The fastest growth of the disease among the elderly is taking place in India, China and other developing countries. So it pays to do what you can now to decrease your chances being part of those worrying statistics. Dehydration shrinks the brain and also affects how it works. Just 90 minutes of steady sweating can make your brain shrink as much as a year of aging, says Matthew Kempton of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London. While the brain quickly returns to normal with a glass or two of water, lack of fluid over days can impact work and school performance. “When the body is dehydrated, water moves out of brain cells and they shrink,” explain Kempton. “This changes the concentration of important chemicals in neurons and could impair their function.” Rev up your fitness level Increase you cranial play Aerobic exercise does more than clear the cobwebs. It plays a vital role in neurogenesis – the birth of new brain cells. “Running stimulates the genesis of ne neurons in the adult brain,” says Henriette van Praag, head of the Neuroplasticity and Behavioural Unit at the National Institute of Aging in Maryland, USA. “It activates residual stem cells that then proliferate and migrate into the hippocampus, a brain area important for learning and memory.” Find names or unfamiliar words difficulty to recall? Then make a game of strengthening your memory skills. Mnemonics are one of our best memory tools _ they are creative, fun and an excuse to be downright silly. And if you can't remember the word “mnemonic,” let alone spell it, just think “My Niece Eats Mostly Old Noodles In Cans.” So, why is exercise so good? Van Praag believes it is likely due to a combination of the functions it triggers: greater production of proteins known as “brain growth factors,” better blood flow and changes in neurotransmitter levels. So strong are these effects that van Praag considers physical exercise superior to thinking exercises. In fact, her studies of mice show running boosts new hippocampal neurons by 200 percent. Build a B12 buffer When it comes to B vitamins, folate (vitamin B9) is probably the best-known brain booster. But vitamin B12 – found in meat, fish and milk – also deserves attention. When researchers from Oxford University in the UK looked at the brain scans of a group of elderly people, they found that those with higher vitamin B12 levels were six times less likely to experience age-related brain shrinkage compared with those who had lower levels of the vitamin in their blood. According to study author Anna Vogiatzoglou, low vitamin B12 is a problem, especially among the elderly. “Simply adjusting our diets to include more B12 foods is something we can easily do to protect against brain-volume loss, and so perhaps save our memory.” Here are found tips to help you create mnemonics you'll remember: l Use positive images. Your brain often blocks out unpleasant ones. l Keep ideas vivid and colourful. These are easier to remember than dull ones. l Try humour! Funny or peculiar things are easier to remember than everyday ones. l When in doubt, go naughty. Rude rhymes are difficult to forget! Earn a bilingual bonus Speak two or more languages? You already have the makings of an agile mind. When researchers at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire looked at the brain activity of monolingual and bilingual people, they found the same brain areas in use when both groups spoke in one language. But when bilinguals switched between two languages, more areas of the brain became active. The bilingual brain computes better, according to study leader and professor Laura-Ann Petitto, a scientists in bilingualism and childhood development. “Two languages appear to engage more of the neural landscape, and that's very good thing.” Punctuality is the soul of business 35 PRODUCTIVITY CHRONICLE You can start studying a second language at any age, according to Michel Valenzuela, a research fellow at the Neuropsychiatric Institute at Prince of Waves Hospital in Australia, and author of It's Never Too Late to Change Your Mind. “Learning a new language is cognitively demanding and involves a lot of mental grunt work that sets off a cascade of positive changes in the brain,” he says. “Taking up challenging hobbies later in life is a powerful way to reduce dementia risk and keep the brain healthy for as long as possible.” Boost your copper intake Copper is a trace mineral that's essential for a healthy central nervous system. In the brain, copper ions affect components that are responsible for making the neural synapses – Junctions that allow nerves to communicate – stronger or weaker. This changing strength affects our ability to learn and remember, according to research done at the Washington University School of Medicine in Missouri. Beef or lamb liver, oyster, shiitake mushrooms, sesame paste (tahini), cashews and pears are all good sources. Become a wordsmith Don't want to learn a foreign language? Then master in your own – in both verbal and written forms. The Nun Study, an examination of long-term data on more than 600 Catholic nuns in Minnesota, USA, suggests that people with good language and literacy skills in their younger years are more likely to have robust minds in old age. When researchers looked at essays the nuns had written in their 20s, they found that those with advanced writing skills – who expressed complex ideas succinctly and fluently – where far less likely to have developed Alzheimer's or dementia five, six or even seven decades later. £¯® Á¢uõ \[Ph® Á¸® £¯®uõß AøÚzxU SØÓ[PÐUS® Bo ÷ÁµõQÓx. £¯zvÀ uõß ö£õ# öŒõÀ¾® ÁÇUP® E¸ÁõQÓx.
