Atatürk`ün gözleri..

Yarı dünya ile çöktüğümüz zaman galipler, sonsuz bir dev (idi) ve biz her tarafından bitmiş bir dermansızdık. O`nun röntgenli gözleri bir onlara bir bize baktı. Herkes galipleri dev görürken O, devin içindeki cüceyi gördü. Gene herkes bizi bitik görürkeO, bitenin cehverindeki şahlanmaya hazır devi gördü. Büyük işin (kazanılan zaferlerin, daha sonra gerşekleştirilen inkılapların) bütün destanı bu ikizli görüşten çıkar.

Maestro: Industrial Engineer of Orchestra

Think about one factory which has a headworker, some parts and each part has its own leader. There one handbook for learn how to work but it isn’t enough. They have to wait sign to start from head worker. Orchestra is kind of system that have similarities with factory I described. It was my first experience in orchestra concert and it was really interesting. Until now, I don’t understand some points here, how the musicians concur, do and how they understand maestro??!! Even I thought that if maestro doesn’t do anything they would continue. I mean, actually, they don’t follow maestro just follow their handbook, but in fact it isn’t true. If we come back to my simile how this factory makes products. To make product, all workers have to follow headworker’s commands and if we examine each worker separately we don’t understand what they are doing, like one worker just doing something with hummer other just paints or another worker just sitting and controlling quality but as whole they make something. As factory if we look at our complex system: Orchestra we can see good combination of separate works which are interesting, curious and successful and separately isn’t successful and gorgeous as it is. For make good music (instrumental music) it isn’t how individuals are good, it is important how they accommodate to others.
In conclusion, I have to point out that it was really good experience to go symphonic orchestra concert. Before going the concert I was thinking about relation between Industrial engineering and symphonic orchestra and I was sure that there must be relation. And now I know the answer, symphonic orchestra is very complex system which is managed by maestro is good sample for any other complex industrial system In this system work of each worker is as important as work of headworker where workers are instrumentalists and headworker is maestro of that complex system.

from CHARLIE's to BENZ's "MODERN TIMES" :)

This is our 3^rd homework from our IE102 class which is about writing essay about differences between two film Modern Times and Mercedes Benz M series production film.In that two film we can observe how the technology developed in 20^th century, from beginning to end. We can saw number of major differences between old and new production system.

Firstly, there are big differences in work conditions of fabrics.One of the most significant problems that I saw in first film is lightening. There was poor light at fabric that workers can’t see each detail properly. However different from that at Mercedes`s fabric there is very good and shiny light that workerscan see each details exactly.

Moreover at Mercedes fabric car body’s speed is slow enough that workers can work on it properly and can control each detail but at old fabric speed is too high that even workers get some physical disorders as Charlie had.

Secondly it must be said that with help of technology there is no heavy work. And Mercedes Benz company can use women force at fabric. At film Modern Times there was very strong man responsible from controlling since work he does not easy for everybody. As an example for women worker Teresa Plaman who is responsible for carrying part of cars.she travel nearly 30km every day but thanks to the help of robots and technology there is no any heavy

And thirdly, different from old fabric measurements are absolutely correct at Mercedes Benz fabric. 90 % of welding is done by robots from 5000 points. And there are cameras that taking measurements from 56 degrees at just 10 seconds “everything must be perfect”.

In conclusion, although there is very important help of robots and technology, without man/womanpower there can’t be production. At least,there will be need workers to check whether robots work properly or not…

once upon a time in ASTI..

After reading book of Alain de Button “Havaalaninda Bir Hafta” we had to spend one or two hour in Asti and write an essay about our observations, since it was our first homework from IE102. Iwent Asti with my friend from our department Jeyhun Valiyev.

Being a foreign student, I haven’t been in Asti more than 10 times and generally I don’t care what are people doing, when I go Asti. It was I my first chance to observe what are they doing.. As usual when we enter terminal groups of people which are called “çığırtkan” welcomed us.

They want us buy ticket from their company. Although doing it is forbidden and there is announcement about they in each five minutes that is forbidden and we should not trust them, we cant walk freely during our observation. After 5 minutes after security man stopped us and say it is forbidden take photos there. He make us wait for 10 minutes then he call director and then sais us we should erase photos or they will take our cameras. So we don’t say anything and leave here as if we erase photos and leave. Then we decided to go out and count buses enter the terminal. In approximation for every minute 2 busses enter terminal. I don’t write anything about busses exit terminal because they exit only in each 30 minutes.

Afterwards, we went and speak with shoe-shiner and he told some interesting situation. He said Asti is house of orphans in every night. Every night houseless child come Asti to sleep, because Asti isn’t closed at nights.

He also said that Asti generally is crowded first and last day of holidays.. We also asked how much many does he earn per day. He answered it changes between 30-70.
