Taylor's principle + Innovative Teaching = Navrang Puzzle.

Let me first show you what I meant by Navrang cube puzzle , here is the pic :

So our Professor  Dr.Mandi bought this puzzle into the class so as to explain the Taylor's principle of scientific management , but let me first tell you about what are Taylor's scientific management principles:

1.Replace working by rule of thumb or simple habit and common sense, and instead use the scientific method to study work and determine the most efficient way to perform specific tasks.

 2.Rather than simply assign workers to just any job, match workers to their jobs based on capability and motivation, and train them to work at maximum efficiency.

Rather than simply assign workers to just any job, match workers to their jobs based on capability and motivation, and train them to work at maximum efficiency.

Monitor worker performance, and provide instructions and supervision to ensure that they're using the most efficient ways of working.

Allocate the work between managers and workers so that the managers spend their time planning and training, allowing the workers to perform their tasks efficiently.

4.Allocate the work between managers and workers so that the managers spend their time planning and training, allowing the workers to perform their tasks efficiently.

To give us a practical example of these principles Dr.Mandi came up with this interesting Navrang puzzle in which all students were challenged to arrange 27 cubes of 9 different colours and make 1 big cube such that on one face no two blocks should have the same colour that is every face will have 9 different coloured blocks.

                                     Many students tried as it seemed an easy task to perform but their performance was not satisfactory as they were randomly trying to place the different blocks on each other and were hoping that they will attain success in the end , so we saw that if in any organisation standards and proper work method is not mentioned or allotted it will lead to chaos and inefficiency which was what exactly happened in the class that day.

                                   After that Dr.Mandi demonstrated the proper way of arranging the cubes in such a manner that the whole process looked very easy.He first sorted all the cubes according to their colour and then picked one cube from each colour and then arranged the cubes accordingly.Again students were invited to perform the same task and now they performed it with ease as the proper and optimal method was demonstrated by Dr.Mandi and now they just had to copy that.

                                  So we learnt that proper and optimised  methoda of operation lead to increase in the productivity and efficiency which is exactly what Taylor's scientific management stated.So with another innovative and interactive way Dr.Mandi was able to prove his point and teach us the principles of management which we will never be able to learn through books.
