INTRO to POM:
After missing 3 days class, acad life
started at Nitie on 20th June
2013 in Syndicate 1 of the Academic Building. I was sitting in one of the
chairs of the last row when at around 09:15 a.m. a professor named Dr. T.
Prasad entered into the classroom.This was my first class on the Principles of
Organization and Management course and unlike other classes my professor took
out a few building blocks(cubes) and a plastic framework used for building
towers. I had already heard from my classmates that this class will be a fun
filled,activity filled, enriching and enthralling one and I felt that it was
going in the right track.
GYAN On POM:
Continuing from the last class Prof.T.Prasad
aka Dr.Mandi started discussions on enumerating the differences between
craftsmanship and modern managemnent.Craftsmanship is purely an one man show
where there are no parallel persons appointed for doing the job,the
distribution of work is not evident and
interdependency between two successive
activities is low and that one man has all the ineptness and dexterity
to complete the entire process. But in case of Modern Management there are more than one workers
appointed for completing the entire work which is being fragmented to bits and
pieces based on process and not on persons.Deskilling is done to enhance
independency and control on a particular work of an entire process and to
ensure that it goes in the appropiate direction so
that the margin for error is minimised.Ideas,views
and counter views floated in from different corners of Syndi 1 and discussions
went on.Examples of Tata Nano,Burj Khalifa glorified the modern management
while tailoring and shoe-mending added value to the limitations of craftmanship
The tone continued with introduction to the 3 E’s of
management namely:effectiveness(Ef),efficiency(ή)and excellence(E).Efficiency refers
to the speed with which a work gets done while Effectiveness denotes the
direction of right path for completing the work. Product of Effectiveness and
Efficiency can mark Excellence.Just as speed X direction can give us velocity
similar is the case with the 3 E’s of management. An interesting way of framing
it is “more out of less for more is excellence”.
REALISATION of POM:
Just citing an example to the realisation of today’s lecture on the 3 E’s:-
Thanks to Prof. T.Prasad I was able to correlate the 3 E’s to
the production process of my last organisation Haldia Petrochemicals
Limited,where making polymers on round a clock basis and conforming the product
quality to the customer requirements and within the specified tolerance limits
marked the excellence of the polymers
namely polypropylene and polyethylene when compared to the polymer products of
the other competitors.
With these I finish my first blog………..and promise to write many
more …….
