KISS Theory ( Keep It Simple Stupid)::


MUST READ . . .

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that
The pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing
surface).In order to solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12
million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down,
underwater,
in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range
from
below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did Russians do.......................................??
The Russians used a Pencil!!!

One of the most memorable case studies I came across on Japanese
Management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one ofJapan's
biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a
consumer had
bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the
problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of
soap to the delivery department.
For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty.
Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the
engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution
monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed
through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked
hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the
same
problem, did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out

with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric !
fan and
pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap
box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral of the story: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) i.e. always look for
simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the
problem :-)

So, learn to focus on solutions not on problems
