It has been a while I didn't update my blog...Due to all the inventory activities going on last week and next week as well...
Well, there will more to come... due to inventory clean up, etc...
At the same time, I am looking for a job...
Job...job....job.....I am looking for a job now.. Anyone got a suitable job out there suitable for me??
At last, my company start to retrench more than 1000 ppl due to current economy situation...
Well, 2700 ppl is about 25% of current permanent employees in my company for the group that I am belongs to .... That means, 4 permanent employee, 1 will be retrench...
Currently everyone is waiting for the package... hopefully the package offer is not bad and I can settle for my car loan... Then I will have peace of mine.. Well, the best timing for me to leave is after Nov.. Hopefully, they will retrench batch by batch...
Anyway, there are few hopes here:-
1. Complete my master, and looking for a job in university as a tutor, start an education life instead of corporate life...
2. Take the package, hopefully they will offer temporary job with higer salary coz ppl reduce but work load still the same...
3. Other companies will want me...

Presentation in class
After transfered from Kulim study centre to Pg's study centre, there is 1 thing I learned.. prepare presentation slides within 30 minutes in a group and present it during the class...
This skill helped me to prepared my presentation slides on Thursday morning (1 brain compare to few brains in the class), review with bosses after lunch and present it in 6pm-7pm's meeting with senior manager.
Well, the content is not bad, just did some amendment... I guess this is the biggest improvement that I had.. Also, this is my determination to change my strategic (after had chats with lecturers on my weaknesses) to avoid my bosses always tease me on my presentation package....

Quarterly activity is on going:- E&O scrubbing, CM liability claim scrubbing and CM inventory deposit scrubbing
Every 2nd month of the quarter, I change my identity from Material Analyst to data scrubber. Why??
Because I have minimum 6 files to scrub and must complete latest by 26th Mar 2009 for buy off package preparation by management. Actually this is all manual workaround especially BOM's information is not up to date, item attributes not are not reflect as per daily operation, marketing's UU is always "??" for me, etc...
Well, this quarter even worst. The reasons are:-
1. I obtained approval from my company's data quality team on the yield lost information and planning % to uploaded into Item Master database. So more items appear as excess inventory and proposed to reserve... During economy downturn, no $$ to spend, now need to be more careful on the data scrubbing... Since I was too busy last week, even I already received the raw files on Monday, I am yet to start scrubbing until today...Or else, I really can't sleep tonight.
2. I have assignment to complete by end of this week (in fact already completed), but now I must complete individual assignment by this week latest by Friday... .
3. Economy down turn, inventory reduction is driving like hell. Almost everyday is talking about MOQ reduction, lead time reduction, exception to push out and cancel, etc... Some more need to provide full picture to management on the MOQ reduction overall profile, lead time reduction overall profile, etc... This one even worst due to myself need to go into details on the preparation, especially the numbers is not look good, need to deeply ask why,why,why,why,why...
4. My green belt project targeted to submit end of this month...Need to review and top up the missing information before next review of this week or else not able to complete it by next week's review...
5. Buyer name clean up... delay more than 3 wks already.. still not able to have time to do it... Sooner or later, buyers will come to me on the buyer name change...
6. Forecast tracking script must complete before I organize a meeting with OF and marketing on the process improvement...Estimate to finish by end of this month also (I can only try my best).. What to do?? I accidentally deleted my scripts previously, now I have to redo the script...
Wow!! More and more things to do... but I have only 24 hours x 7 days...
Not sure whether I got enough time to sleep for the next few weeks... and not sure what else will come in tomorrow coz tomorrow is a brand new week!!!

Exercises after work
I played basketball gam with my collegues on Thursday after work... I enjoyed that game very much especially after Tuesday's game...
Well, working in office need to find time for exercise or else my brain can't really perform well...
Actually I have an idea to get me exercise everyday however my idea was not supported 100% by my friends and my family members. My idea is to cycle to work every day so that I can save petrol expenses, help in environment and sweating everyday. Their objection is my life is more important than the small little petrol expenses... That is quite true also... But I have no reason to go back early after work!!! LOL...
Since not able to cycle to work, so alternative way is to go to sport complex... Well, who knows... I always lazy to sweat unless force to ...
