Reflection on 2nd week (17-10-2012) : LSY

     This is the second lecture. I do anticipate what is waiting for us every time i enter class. As usual, classes did not start in time and students are still coming in late including me...Guess this is one of the bad habits that we will need to take forever to change...lol

   What we learn?

         This week we learn to deal with the root cause of a problem and provide solutions to it. Bernard provided us with many examples and teach us to use the yyy analysis to arrive at the root cause of the problem. A very good example was from group 1 that mentioned about the inefficiency in baggage distribution, most of us will think that the cause to this problem is no proper system, but thinking deeply through the yyy analysis, its actually the people that is causing the problem...it made us realize that we usually think of things only on the surface.     

   How do i feel?

     Actually class 2 gave me mixed feeling. I am happy to learn something new but at the same time sad and worried after being informed that we need to develop a prototype. My first thought was added workload as we have already 4 system in hand that need to be develop. However, i am still taking this optimistically and hope that we will make our way through it as a exciting challenge and learning platform.

   How i apply?

       What i learn last week was very useful. I applied it in my FYP and started to think from a few  different perspectives when i was asked to develop objectives to my system. 

 

Good problem - Simple solutions - Awesome people
