Make It Simple

Be Creative

 picHello again.  Everything in life seems to be complicated.  As an Engineer, I was trained in different problem solving methodologies specially in a manufacturing company.  Sometimes one big problem can be solved by simple solution but most often we let simple problems to be complicated.  During one of my trainings, one story told was about one big Soap Manufacturing company.  They have continously receiving customer complaints regarding soap box without soap inside being delivered to customer.  They gather their best engineers to look for a solution to prevent recurence of the problem.  Together they formulate a system, tried using sensors, xrays and other expensive methods.  All week long, the janitor was observing what the engineers were doing.  Then one day, the janitor brought one industrial fan and set across the conveyor belt where soap box are running.  All empty boxes were blown awayy from the conveyor before it went to packaging area .  Their problem was solved.

  Oftentimes, we makes things complicated but most of the times, problems can be solve with simple solution.  We must think out of the box, explore possiblities and be creative.  Make it simple.
