How To Use Advice From Other People

It’s simple, learn from those that have done it or something similar to it so that you can avoid the mistakes that they warn about. This is what advice is, being able to circumvent problems by learning from other people.

Advice is often very easy to find, everyone has an idea on how to do something or solve a problem, especially if there’s a personal connection. The problem is; is it real world advice that you can actually benefit from?

Real world advice comes from an experienced and tested source. Just how the source acquired their experience can sometimes be the topic of debate, so it’s up to you to judge and discern whether or not the source is reliable.

That’s the issue. Even getting the advice can sometimes require advice. But that’s where perseverance comes in. Stick to your guns and keep searching. This is one of the best ways to ensure that genuine and helpful advice comes to you. Never stop seeking.

How Does Production Control Effect An Operation

Production control is a widely used activity. When applied to a specific operation, it can help to manage as well as streamline the production process of the operation being carried out. it can be applied in various ways depending on the type of operation that is being run. Production control is often carried out from a specific building or room within a facility.

An example of production control can be found in television studios. Here real-time operations are managed in a production control room. This has an immediate effect on the filming that is being done in the studio, directing various different and fundamental aspects of the filming being carried out.

Production control often demands the services of a production control manager. This role enables the direct management of a production, allowing for a greater degree of focus and control on the production specifically. In other words, with someone focused on managing the production of say a supply chain, they will be immediately aware of any problems, or will quickly spot opportunities for improvement.

Fully Automated Control Processes And Flow Technology

Fully automated control processes are the systems that operate the functional aspects of a technology process. This can be a production or engineering process, in these instances the control processes often have some kind of automation.

Using an engineering example, a lot of different tanks, valves, pumps, separators, boosters and some other devices, are connected usually by pipes or conveyor belts. Some flows of different substances pass through them while the properties of these substances undergo numerous changes. This is what is known as flow technology, and this flow technology is controlled using an automated control process. Its stressed that only big plants which have a lot of types of technological equipment have the most complicated control processes.

Flow technologies such as this are used extensively in oil and gas industries, chemistry, power engineering  hydrometallurgy and in other types of heavy industries, manufactures and processing plants.

The Rewards In Problems

In the last post we looked at problem solving and how it can be approached in a practical way. This post looks at making use of problems, and how they can often hold rewards.

For a problem to exist there must be some kind of difficulty in a process it is related to. In other words, something must have gone wrong for there to be a problem. It is important to understand this, because to make use of the problem a perception of more than the problem itself is needed.

In knowing this, when the problem is solved the other processes it is connected to are also effected. So to make the most of the problem, look at the other parts that are effected when dealing with the problem. In doing so you will be able to see a greater effect of your effort to solve the problem, and in turn, reap a greater reward.

 

How To Solve Problems

The age old human endeavour, solving problems is an ability and a burden for the human race. Ever since we faced adversity, either from others, from the world or from creatures, solving problems has been a necessity for our species.

But how exactly do we solve a problem? Are all problems solved in the same way?

It is inevitable when living life that there will be problems that come up. Because of this frequency, they have been well documented and well remembered. Using these metal and physical records is a primary way of solving a problem.

While each problem is different, the method of solving them remains the same each time. It is possible to approach each problem the same way using this problem solving method.

Define > Assess > Decide > Implement > Evaluate

This is a template that can be applied to all problems. Of course, each problem will have its variations, and this template is more of a guide than a definite solution. However, following the steps at least roughly will bring you to a resolution.

Modern Diamond Crafting Methods

Crafting a diamond to a high standard is a task that requires great craftsmanship. Many diamonds begin as rough stones, and it is the detailed marking and cutting techniques that makes them the desirable, world-renown items.

Marking

When crafting a diamond the first step is the marking stage. Once a full examination of each rough diamond has been carried out, the stone is marked to decide how it should be cut to yield the greatest value. It is at this stage, the shape of the rough diamond and the number and location of imperfections must be considered.

The marker or planner must determine the direction of the cleavage (or grain) in the diamond. Due to the diamond’s atomic structure, it can be cleaved in four directions parallel to the octahedron crystal faces.

After the marking is completed the diamond moves onto several other stages; beginning with cleaving and cutting and eventually ending with the final finishing.
