Blockchain – Distributing records is now safe and permanent! – Skillwise Consulting

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain is a series of blocks that carry records and continuously grow forming a chain of record that could neither be deleted nor modified.

Blockchain could be imagined as a ledger that records all the transactions between two parties in a way that the data is permanent and could be verified by anyone who possess the subsequent blocks.

They could typically serve in recording events, medical records, management activities, transaction records and origin of any documentation.

Structure of a Blockchain:

Each block contains a/set of records in it with a timestamp and a link to the preceding block. The block creation is through a peer-to-peer network and records are maintained at every level. Once a record is entered at a particular timestamp, the data cannot be altered unless the data from the whole chain of preceding and subsequent blocks are altered, which is close to impossible.

Blockchains became the core component of the digital currency bitcoin that serves as a public ledger of all transactions.

How secure would your data be?

Blockchains are decentralized, by thus eliminating the risk of hacks in a centralized system or server.

Data is stored and sent across in a distributed system that uses ad-hoc message passing technology.

Data Quality is ensured by massive data replication. Mining nodes validate the transactions and every data on any block is trusted equally, irrespective of who enters it.

Applications of Blockchain:

Blockchain technology has the potential to transform business operations on a large scale with the data being entered and secured at every stage of production/services.

Significant difference could be seen in the operational models of

•          Supply Chain
•          Financial Transactions
•          Asset Ledger
•          Social Networking

Digital currency, prediction markets and governance tools would form the major application of blockchain and are operational currently in many countries worldwide.

• The accounting giant Ernst & Young has installed a bitcoin (blockchain technology) ATM and is accepting all its transactions through bitcoins.

• Smart contracts could now be done without human intervention and the contract data is secure and stable over years.

• Implementation of bitcoins is revolutionising the way data and fund transfers occur and holds the future of digital currency technology around the world.

Start before it’s too late to get you equipped on the blockchain concepts and implementation for effective use of your organizational development.

Deep Learning – Let the machines do the learning – Skillwise Consulting

Deep Learning:

Deep Learning is a piece of a more extensive group of machine learning strategies in view of learning information portrayals, rather than assignment particular calculations. Learning can be directed, in part, managed or unsupervised.

Structure of Deep Learning:

The prevailing deep learning methods are through Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), which are neural systems built of many layers that manage the process handling units. These are aimed at preparing extensive calculations and digging information underneath.  A deep neural system may have 10 to 20 embedded layers, while a normal neural system may have just a couple.

More layers in the system will make it capable of retrieving and processing more parameters. But as the number of layer increases, it will be harder to design.

There are numerous ways to approach deep learning but the complexity of building learning method varies.

Neural Systems Model:

For an instance of its use, deep learning utilizes image acknowledgement. Since humans utilizes visual recognition to store and process data, so is the system designed as a replica.

Lean Management – Eliminate the waste; Be it in any form – Skillwise Academy

Lean Management:

                                      The way of minimizing waste in the workplace premises without compromising production is termed to be Lean Manufacturing.

The waste could be of any form.

•  Muri – Elimination of unnecessary work imposed on a labour or a machine than it could actually handle in a given time.
• Mura – Elimination of fluctuation at the scheduling or operations level and implementation of work design.
•  Muda – Elimination of variation in output of production.
• Elimination of these wastes in the course of service process makes way for compelling necessary productivity at a faster pace.

Lean approach could either be to increase the profit or to improve the operations, focusing on the customer. It could vary with every organization focusing on the immediate areas of improvisation. Skillwise Academy imparts training suited to your needs.

The four common goals of lean implementation in an organization would be,

·         Quality Improvisation – Understand your customers’ needs and requirements and focus on areas of necessary improvements in quality.

·         Waste Elimination – Any activity or resource that does not add value to the product/service in any form should instantly be excluded.

·         Time Reduction – Reduction in manufacturing or service time could help greatly in cutting of costs and delivery of products/services on time.

·         Cost Reduction – Overproduction should be eliminated, manufacturing only to the customer demands. More is the inventory, more would be the storage costs.

Lean Manufacturing gave birth to the concept of Just-In-Time (JIT). JIT aims at reduction of inventory to almost nil, as to produce with supplies only when the demand arises. This has proven to reduce costs of inventory and storage on significant scales with a huge sum of savings in hand at the end of every financial year.

But imparting JIT in an organization requires a fully operational lean to meet the required volume of demand, operating with almost zero wastage, for which Skillwise Academy is awaiting at the verge of your call.

Exhibit and experiment lean in your organization with training on Lean Management from Skillwise Academy.

      5S is a Japanese method of organizing your workplace to increase efficiency and effectiveness and maintain an order in production process. Organized logistics and material placement is definitely going to help the workplace efficiency and accelerate production at a greater pace, making the operations more accessible and agile.

The 5 S’ has significant meaning inscribed in them.

Seiri – Sort:

•          Work with ease by eliminating obstacles.
•         Avoid chances of disturbance by unwanted materials.
•          Evaluate required items with regard to cost or usage.
•          Place a red tag area to store things that needs to be disposed off.
•          Highly skilled supervisor to monitor Seiri regularly.

Seiton – Order:

•          Arrange all the required materials to make it easier to pick and place.
•          Place tools and equipment in close vicinity to lessen the movements.
•          Vision to all required materials should be clear and close.
•          Ensure first-in-first-out FIFO basis of logistics.

Seiso – Shine:

•          Set frequency for cleaning
•          Use cleaning as inspection.
•          Prevent machinery and equipment mishap.
•          Keep the workplace tidy and pleasing for work.
•          50 feet of vision is the space an unfamiliar person should be able to detect a defect.

Seiketsu – Standardize:

•          Standardize the best practices in the workplace.
•          Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has to be pursued upon at all times.
•          Everything in its right place.
•          Each process should follow the line of standards.

Shitsuke – Sustain:

•          Performing regular audits.
•          Training on the 5S’ and maintain discipline.
•          Feedback on 5S’ implementation success is mandatory.
•          Self-discipline is one thing that helps 5S to sustain.
•          Ensure all defined standards are being implemented.

5S has strong roots of application in the fields of manufacturing, healthcare, education, government and process development.

The underlying principle behind implementation of 5S is that the new tools or materials gets out of the reach of men, if scraps are not segregated, tending to cause a confusion as to choose which to be used for the process.

5S has close association with implementation and operation of lean management. More organized is the workplace and process, lesser would be the production of waste and hence an increase in efficiency.

Drive your organization towards the apex of efficiency with a webinar training on 5S and its implementation from Skillwise Academy.

Training on KAIZEN – Keep it going – Skillwise Academy

KAIZEN:

               The term originated in Japan post the second world war. Japanese means the word ‘KAIZEN’ for ‘continual improvement’ and yes, it’s not continuous. Continuous is an ongoing process whereas continual is comparatively less frequent.

KAIZEN aims at continual improvement in the processes across the organization from the CEO to the workers in assembly line of an organization.

Application of KAIZEN runs through the domains of manufacturing, healthcare, psychotherapy, life-coaching, banking, government and other prospective businesses.

KAIZEN follows two approaches broadly:

•          Flow KAIZEN

The flow of materials and information in an organizational section is studied and the critical parameters are analysed to work on continual improvement.

•          Process KAIZEN

Employees who work on the actual production process are concentrated on for continual improvement. The improvement sprouts from the bottom level employees scaling it across the organization.

KAIZEN implementation in the organization requires a combination of both of the above for creation of a complete working model. Yet, process KAIZEN is done with ease whenever a small contribution to improvement is made unlike the traditional improvement process that requires a long period of time before the actual implementation.

KAIZEN improvements are small and continual, almost done every day, but accounts to a huge escalation in productivity when accumulated over a period of time.

KAIZEN’s PDCA cycle looks as follows:

•          Plan

Chalk down the improvements to be made and the parameters to consider.

•          Do

Implementation is instant and standardized. Do it right away.

•          Check

The standards have to be in coherence. Check if the process goes in sync with the standards.

•          Act

Suggest on further improvements or similar changes that could be made in a different section of the organization.

Tools such as fishbone diagram and statistical tables are used for KAIZEN to work on.

Make every minor enhancement in your organization count with the training in KAIZEN implementation by Skillwise Academy.
