Aku memang tak boleh terima kalau kena buat kerja yang sama, tiap-tiap hari. Paling lama boleh tahan sebulan, sebelum aku resign atau jadi gila. Kerja-kerja rutin ni macam kerja operation. Operation macam production. Itu kerja gila. Hari-hari mau kejar output. Kualiti entah ke mana. Itu belum cerita budak-budak maintenance lagi, siang malam menghadap repair mesin. Lama-lama muka dah macam Awang Spanar.
Ni berkisar kat kerja aku yang hari-hari nak kena fikir pasal kaizen untuk eliminate 3M (Muda, Mura, Muri). Orait la jugak daripada buat kerja rutin. 3M ni adalah ungkapan Jepun.
Muda = waste
Mura = uneven
Muri = overburden
Kadang-kadang kaizen ni tak perlu approach yang saintifik atau high-tech pun. Bergantug pada keadaan dan case study. Yang penting research. Kalau takde research ke longkang la idea.
Seperti biasa, kalau buat improvement, banyak la masa kita 'luangkan' nak buat orang accept improvement. Tak semua orang boleh terima pembaharuan walaupun demi kebaikkan diorang. Sama juga macam kita beri pendapat, tak semua orang boleh accept. Manusia kan memang defensive sikit.
Tapi setelah bekerja bertahun-tahun, baru aku sedar orang Malaysia ni sebenarnya sangat sentimental (aku pun sama kot). Suka simpan benda buruk yang dah tentu tak guna sebab sentimental value. Macam tu jugak la dalam pekerjaan. Bila ada problem, tapi sayang pula nak eliminate sebab dah jadi sebahagian dari rutin kerja. Dah macam hantu cerita 'Shutter', terlekat atas bahu tak mahu turun.
Doing something that is wasteful efficiently. Cuba fikirkan tentang sesuatu kerja/proses yang in the first place yang payah buat, and they will invest some money/time into it to make it more efficient. Waste!
Contoh-contoh:
"Dah 15 tahun saya kerja encik, macam ni la saya buat..." - dah masa untuk berubah.
"Bang, dulu saya kerja kat kompeni Jerman macam ni la diorang ajar saya buat..." - Diorang ajar betul, kau yang buat salah.
"Kita patut beli kamera high-tech dan pasangkan kat production line untuk detect printing defect kat product carton." Apa agaknya part quality dept buat?
Macam cilakak kan?
*****
Aku ambil contoh cerita daripada 'sensei' aku. Situasi kat kilang simen. Seorang pekerja diambil semata-mata untuk membersihkan simen yang melimpah disebabkan overflow dari paip. Jadi 'sensei' aku pun tanya, apa susah-susah nak upah orang sodok simen kat seorang engineer kat situ. "Biasalah kan ni kilang lama. Kilang simen pula tu. Mesti la ada simen bersepah-sepah."
Kan best kalau aku pergi bank, orang-orang kerja bank cakap macam tu. "Ala biasalah ni kan bank. Mesti la duit bersepah-sepah." Ha ha ha.
Jadi 'sensei' bertanya balik "Kenapa agaknya diorang tak study flow rate simen tuh, atau study dust catcher yang dah tak berfungsi. Dah tentu pakcik tuh tak payah sodok simen, dah 8 tahun dia sodok simen!" Ini lah contoh "doing something that he's not suppose to do efficiently" atau yang dikatakan waste atau MUDA dan apa yang pakcik tu buat adalah MURI. Kerja takde faedah.
Kaizen, approachnya ambil step yang simple dulu. Kemudian barulah step yang lagi kompleks. Tak payah nak susah-susah nak ajar operator ilmu six sigma. Senang tak? Kalau susah, kenapa agaknya...

Hujung Minggu di Serata Dunia
Malaysia kalah 2-3 jek dengan mencester unaited.
Apesal ESPN kecoh-kecoh pasal Owen?
Apa? Comeback? Aiseh, Owen score lawan Malaysia je. Come on la. Ha ha.
Cerita lain. Season 2009/10 bakal menyaksikan ramai penyokong-penyokong baru Real Madrid dan Manchester City muncul. Macam satu ketika dulu masa manager Chelsea dilambakkan duit berbillion beli player-player star.
Kepada rival dan lawan-lawan Real Madrid jangan gentar dengan penyerang diorang yang beharga beratus juta tu. Pergi serang je kat mana Sergio Ramos main. Lubuk.
Alex Fergit komen polisi pembelian Hughes sebagai 'bodoh' dan 'tak realistik'. SAF memang bercakap melalui pengalaman. Tengok la apa jadi pada Dimitar Bebal-tov.
Lain-lain cerita. Liga Malaysia dah abis ke belum?

Q W E R T Y
The reason they called it Q W E R T Y, because of the letter layout that can be found on the keyboard. I can sure as hell call the pc/laptop keyboard as QWERTY as I pleased.
Cuba bayangkan, because of some issues related to data capturing, I proposed to use QWERTY keyboard untuk satu equipment. In less than 0.002 second, Mr. J reply, why that, why this....bla bla bla. Sudah termakan umpan nampaknya. Pemilihan perkataan ku memang sesuai dan tepat.
Mr. J will is a bitter man indeed. For some reason he thought that I want to install a handphone size keyboard. Considering his resemblance to Uncle Fucka, I let him finish his Benitesque rant.
"QWERTY tu keyboard normal la. Yang macam tu." Selamba aku jawab sambil jari tunjuk keyboard komputer and suddenly silence struck him.
This fella proved one thing to me. People mostly (including me) will be influence by their subconcious mind in what they do or say. Kalau dah biasa negative thinker, anything people say they will try to opposed, bad or good. One thing I learned about subconcious mind is, it accepts whatever you believe on an emotional level.
I walked by and gave him a cynical smile. Mesti pedih dia tengok.
So, why tell him QWERTY instead of keyboard?
Pasal dia ni bitter. Ha ha ha. Padan muka dia.

Found this in Yahoo! Answers.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Q: There is an exact source and factual answer that most people overlook.While the question is interesting philosophically, its a moot question with an answer. Can you find it?
A: Close scrutiny does not remove the fact that all answers to this question are speculation that rely on some system of methodical cognition. Whether it is deemed rational or irrational is a matter of subjectivity. The nature of the question as a philosophical inquiry is that it reveals something about human nature. The need to have information, so as to satisfy the egos desire for control.

Kisah "Quote" Lagi
“I have more respect for the fellow with a single idea who gets there than for the fellow with a thousand ideas who does nothing.” Thomas A. Edison.
Translate bahasa aku: "Kalau setakat berbual lebat tapi tarak contribute baik lu duk jejauh dari gua."
Apasal dah 2 entry cerita pasal quote ni? Biasa la kalau dah kusut pasal kerja, macam-macam quote aku nak recall. Quote ni memang beracun dan pedas kalau aku bagi kat team member yang pessimist dan asik nak complaint. Memang dah genetik sesetengah orang kita agaknya nak reward dulu baru nak perform. Pre-paid employee.
Anyway, cerita lagi pasal quote dan Thomas A. Edison ni, teringat masa kerja asik buat evaluation dan testing. Entah amende idea bos aku nak taruk spring dan plastik dalam hard disk. DOE, DOE, DOE, sampai aku naik fed-up. Buat failed, buat failed, sampai raya pun aku nak kena kerja. 6 bulan entah apa-apa buat testing sampai aku nak resign, sekali bini aku (masa tuh merangkap awek yang berjauhan...) antar sms...
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time - Thomas Edison." Terus aku jatuh cinta buat kali ke-87 kat bini aku dan kembali bersemangat nak buat DOE (...lagi).
Entry bermula macam ganas, last-last jadi jiwang. Padan muka korang baca perenggan atas. Ha ha ha ha.

Nobody is Perfect
I heard this super lame quote a few days ago after the department meeting.
Just an excuse to work ala kadar and to cover up the laziness.
My advice to this fella is:
Perfect is byfar what I least expected from you, at least perform at the rate that I expect you to do. Jangan kasi malu universiti anda wahai graduan universiti teknikal. Other than that, up to you la.
Tapi Billy Corgan lagi celaka, dia cakap...
“If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?”

Dari JB ke Manchester
Bukan gambar photoshop. Image from soccernet.
Dalam banyak-banyak team, sekarang dia pergi team yang tak ternama. Team apa ntah.
Masa tu 1997, aku first time tengok dia main kat Stadium Larkin. Walaupun condition padang tak bagus, skuad-skuad Belia Piala Dunia semua main cun (kecuali Malaysia). First touch macam ada gam UHU kat boot. Tak sia-sia aku turun naik bas pergi Larkin.
Dia ni player paling menonjol kat J.B. masa Piala Dunia Belia 1997, umur baru 17 kalau aku tak silap. Menendang sambil lari, dah la lari macam pelesit. Tapi sekarang sebab injury kronik, value dia drop dan finishing pun dah tak macam dulu.
Dah tu free transfer plak ke team setan nih. Suka hati kau la Owen.

Pork Free
Aku jalan-jalan dengan bini aku kat shopping complex.
Nampak banyak restoran tulis "Pork Free" kat pintu masuk.
Apa ingat "pork free" tuh sama macam "halal" ke?
Atau maksud sebenarnya makan pork secara free-free kat kedai tuh.
Macam-macam.
