It had been a long time since I posted my first post in this blog. There are quite a number of reason for such a delay. the first of all reasons is I have to adjust and re-position my thaught so that whatever I post will be generally sound and do not mislead the reader. Secondly, I would have to make sure I am not only referring to one single company, and thus do not leak off trade secret, if any. Of course finally I have to make sure all comments given are not only related to a small group of personnel.
In one of the company I offered my consultancy, the top manager is a long term staff in its mother company. In view of quite a number of "politics" in his old company and considering on various unwanted treatment he faced over the old company, he had decided to make full use of the opportunity given and set up a company with a compassionate environment.
With a lot of background technical knowledge learnt through his carrier, and with the full financial support from the rich owner, he and his partner had decided to employed fresh graduate to support them on initial set up of manufacturing plant.
One of the major advantage of employing fresh graduate is for ease of managing. The industrial related knowledge is gained through detail discussion with related vendors. This had come to a certain success in few years time.
It is not easy to set up and run a company. but it will be more difficult to set up proper system so that the success can be repeated. This is when they finally decide to obtain my consultancy.
The first task I have done in the company, not really related to consultancy, but more towards solving various equipment they faced and not able to solve over the one and a half year of operation.
To be frank, this is not difficult task but it need a very strong analytical mind and sharp technical observation to trouble shoot those problems. This was completed in two to three months time. After settling of those most urgent problem, now it comes to time of actual consultancy job and I will share them, starting from my next post.
