Life is beautiful

Doing things the right way

This is applicable to almost anything and everything that one does. It's just that many people choose not to do it that way.

It so happens that in what ever one does, the first try in all probabilities is not the best but over a period of time an efficient method does emerge. This method is then defined as the guideline for doing "that something" the "right way". Thus processes are born.

One often falls into the trap of following the processes blindly without questioning their effectiveness for a given situation. The processes then become bureaucratic.

There is a cardinal rule to always seek improvements in the processes. It too is often forgotten. The processes should have tailoring guidelines to tailor the process framework to best suit the work flow.

Life is full of such processes and guidelines.

Therefore, it is very important to do the right thing, the right way and use the processes to one's advantage.

This comes out of an experience I had yesterday with one of the suppliers.
