Towards Perfection

Perfection. Is this an ideal word just like ideal gas laws most engineers study in thermodynamics or is it something practical ?

Now if this was not practical how does one explain

PERFECTION ACHIEVED

At 1976 Olympics, Nadia Comaneci scored perfect ten in Gymnastics, Images on left and right showing her illustrious achievement as recognized by TIME and Sports Illustrated

The world has seen many perfectionist be it Late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Toyota JIT implementation or Indian Film Industry's iconic star, the perfectionist Aamir Khan.

The purpose of this blog is to make managers, workers, students, professors and (whatever profession you are from), to understand that perfection is achievable. Belief and clarity are the only aspects we require to understand. 

Let me illustrate this with an example:

We the  POM class of NITIE call it as 'Three Idiots Crossing The Valley'. Let me illustrate with a cartoon:

Reference: The cartoon is an anonymous cartoon available on web and used in this blog for sake of description of class activity only

The activity involves crossing a valley with one and half step distance between the two edges. The same was demonstrated in the class with one of the solutions that could be best arrived at. The description of the solution is as shown in below figure:

Step wise movement of the three people crossing the valley with a load 

The goal that is crossing the valley is achieved but let's see the different situations as in below figure.

The management lesson to be learnt is that what is desired from managers is to make systems or processes which are perfect. And if this perfection is achieved, productivity improvements and excellence would become tangible.

Perfection has been attained before in human history and is achievable, so the readers of the blog strive to attain new heights and keep on getting inspired and be inspiring to make the world a better place.
