Production Engineering

When I entered the world of engineering, I had heard of the ‘evergreen’ mechanical branch, but had never heard of something called “Production Engineering”. What would they teach you there- something related to re-production ;-). Well, who on earth would have taken stupid electronics then. Anyways soon realized that mechanical and production are brother in arms, though I am still not sure where to draw the line between the two.

But today some how I feel there should have been some kinda engineering, that would teach us how to be ‘productive’. Well don’t get me wrong, productive here is to do with my work, my daily activities. I mean, of late I have slowly slowly started to realize that I am not really at my efficient best. The few things which are really contributing to that are:
1. I have become an avid blogger. Don’t raise your eyebrows here. I really do blog hopping very often. Some ppl here are amazing, they write so well that I just keep reading their stuff, but it just takes my time away. So tip one for me, less blog hopping and more of writing.
2. In office don’t open more then 3-4 windows at a time. I mean generally I have some timesofindia of google or a blog open, and every 25-30 min I loose on to them. Got to cut this out.
3. Start working more on office related activities when in office, no fooling around.
4. When in sessions try and LISTEN. I realize I am a real poor listener. It was ok in back in college when some stupid was taking the notes when I was dreaming away or reading a novel. But professional trainings- got to make the best of it.
5. Finally, don’t come to office on weekends, have a blast then!!

Hopefully things will get a little better in some time!! Somehow I have started to realize the importance of work-ex. It really tells you when and how to pull up your socks. BTW, I am writing all this when my today’s work is still not done..eh. ;-)

Passing though:- Wonder why there are so few females in the production engineering. I always thought they increased the productivity wherever they went:o)
