Jal, Jameen aur Japan

Basically the meaning of the title of the post is 'water, land and Japan'. Actually the title represents the kind of crisis occurred in Japan few days back in the form of Tsunami (Water) and earth-quack (Land) and after that the form of Japan. First of all I would like to pay my homage to the people who unfortunately been a prey of this catastrophe. May their soul remain in peace.

Well in recent time there have been lots of happenings such as Egypt freedom, Libya crisis and now this natural calamity. We know Japan not only because of America's nuclear attack at the time of world war-II but Japan is the kind of country which teaches us lots of important things which sometimes we lack. Sometimes I am so astonish that how this low populated country abled to manage itself after world war-II destruction. Just few million people stand up with in 6-7 years on their feet and challenged world as the third largest economy of the world. This time the total population of Japan is just 127 million far lower than other countries. These facts certainly astonish anyone. When I read about this, I came to know that there was a study to know what propelled Japan growth so fast and results were really amazing.

What study told is that the working philosophy of Japan and other countries is far different. It's this philosophy that stimulate the growth so fast. This philosophy includes-

1. Zero Defect Japanese believes in zero defect policy in their product which raised the bar of reliability of their products up. We have so many examples in our day to day life too, such as in electronics media Sony has still no competitor if we talk about Indian market.

2. Just In Time This is a management term I read somewhere which Japanese follow in their work. JIT policy restricts them to procrastinate the work. They understand the value of time so as the preparation of their product.

3. Kaizen This is another management term which means 'continue process management'. This policy tends them to work continuously for betterment of the product, to improve the employee management for increasing the work efficiency.

4. Total Quality Management In businesses, this term is frequently used and thus Japanese work on this strictly. This philosophy says to work continuously to improve the quality of the product. This is complete customer satisfaction philosophy of working.

Besides these few policies points Japanese has a vast lexicon of management skills which certainly useful for a user who wants to learn how to work exactly and efficiently, such as Japanese has a value of their employee even at the age of physically non working. There is a Life time employment philosophy which cares their employees at every age.
One most important and personally I feel great, policy is that Japanese don't have hierarchies at their workspaces. That means the status of a fourth grade employee is equal to a first class employee. Which makes them continuously focus on their work rather than their position. If in any case it's there then it's not that rigid that in other countries of world is.

So these are few points I feel to share with you about this mammoth economy, about which we just talk but in actual sense it's something to be felt. Every country has its own work philosophy but it becomes interesting when you have a deep thought and study over that philosophy by others that's what Japanese has.

I salute the spirit !!

In my concluding notes I'll pray to almighty for Japan and its people.

Cheers !!
