Decision Making Tools: Part III - Sequencing of Manufacturing Process
Gates is the ultimate programming machine. He believes everything can be defined, examined, reduced to essentials, and rearranged into a logical sequence that will achieve a particular goal. Stewart Alsop quotes.
Our brain works consciously, subconsciously as well as unconsciously and whatever our brain does consciously is what our mind does. We all use our conscious minds to process series of information in order to make decisions needed to survive. The Process is known as the decision-making process. However, because of many uncertainties, at times we become afraid of making wrong decisions and, therefore, tend not to take a decision and avoid decision making. We all live in the shadow of fear, and yet little was known about fear until Sigmund Freud began the study of unusual phobias. The fear of making wrong decisions combined with nervous agitation is called decidophobia.
Decision-making process is a conscious effort and is about facing a situation or a question. Good decisions are efficient and effective and are made by putting to use a well-engineered plan and a well-focused process by defining a model. The model shall represent a way of looking at the problem considering a set of assumptions that enable us to understand and evaluate the predictable outcome.
