One to One
translation ?
-----------------------------
As it happens quite often, when a Management decides
to “ go digital / computerize “ existing manual systems , it ends up simply
translating existing manual processes and convert these into ZEROes and
ONEs !
No one says :
We may not get another opportunity to simplify and
increase the productivity of the process, for another 5 / 10 / 20 years
So why not “ re-think “ the very objective of the
current manual process and “ re-design “ it in such a way that it serves many
more purposes ?
Can we “ re-design “ it in a manner that it yields far
greater “ insights “ into our operations ?
A recent example ( of such “ one-to-one “ thinking )
is the introduction of a biometric attendance system in BMC ( Bombay Municipal
Corporation )
A Times of India report
( BMC
catches 30K latecomers with new system / 15 March ) , https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/bmc-catches-30k-latecomers-with-new-system/articleshow/63306964.cms
reads :
The civic administration said
resistance to the system was no excuse as they have only made the MANUAL muster
ELECTRONIC
Following are other news reports on the same subject :
DNA ( 08 March )
DNA ( 22 Sept 2017 )
Thanks to biometric attendance, 1,200 civic staffers face
pay cut
What can be a “ re-designed
“ attendance system ?
In my blog ( From BAD to
MAD / 01 June 2016 ) , I had proposed following :
https://myblogepage.blogspot.in/2016/06/from-bad-to-mad.html
*
All smart phones to evolve as Bio-metric Attendance Devices , with
built-in
Bio-metric Recorders , GPS , a mobile attendance App ( called
MAD ? )
*
App to have 2 buttons ( Green = IN / Red
= OUT )
*
Employee to touch IN upon reaching his work-station and
touch OUT
,
while leaving work place , at the end of work-shift . That's all !
*
Being GPS enabled , buttons will get activated ONLY when the employee
has reached the work place ( not while he is on his way ! )
But imagine if the government could motivate / cajole
/ coerce, all the establishment in the country to implement MAD (
Mobile Attendance Device ) , over a period of next 5 years
If that happens, we would get following “ insights “ into our economy :
* For
employees , no need to file a separate annual Income Tax Return
*
Direct deposit of PF / TDS amounts into
bank accounts of Govt Depts
*
Direct Benefit Transfer ( DBT ) to every
Employer for Stipend Subsidy ,
based on number of total trainees / apprentices employed
*
Total number of employees in India (
category / region / industry )
*
Employment Density ( Industry wise / Region
wise / Skill wise etc )
*
Net Employment Growth Rate ( weekly -
monthly / Industry-wise )
*
Co-relation with no of persons
graduating at various levels
*
Data about those Unemployed ( "
Graduating " less " Employed " )
*
Overtime Statistics ( Use / Abuse )
*
Work-hour Analysis ( Ave hours / week -
month )
*
Wage / Salary Rates ( Rs per hour ) -
Industry wise / Region wise
( of great interest to Foreign Investors looking to bring down
manufacturing costs , by outsourcing to India / manufacturing in India )
*
Compliance with labour laws / tax laws /
Apprentice Act etc
*
Job Market Forecasts through BIG
DATA ANALYTIC ( region / industry )
*
Demographic Profiles of employees
( Rural to Urban migration )
*
Per Capita Income Growth for persons
using MAD app ( MOM / YOY )
*
Changing composition between Blue Collar
and White Collar employees
Agree , BMC may not have got all of the above-listed “
insights “ , by introducing MAD ,
but it would have succeeded in convincing the government ( to begin with ,
Maharashtra Government ) , to extend MAD to other public establishments
It is still , not too late !
For those with lingering doubts , please look up :
