Any unsafe accident can be prevented-Hain's Law
Chapter 9: Details of Success, Details
of Failure Inequality of details means that 1% error leads to 100% failure. The failure of many companies is often due to failure to do their best in detail. With all the details in place, there will be no problems for the enterprise.
87. Window Breaking Effect: Correcting and Remedying the Problems in Time
Submitted by: Zhan Badou, a psychologist at Stanford University, USA
Comment: The so-called "window breaking effect" theory comes from an experiment conducted by Zhan Badou many years ago. In this experiment, Zambadou found two identical cars, placed one of them in the middle-class neighborhood of Palo Alto, and the other parked in the relatively messy Bronx neighborhood. He removed the license plate of the car parked in the Bronx and punched a hole in the roof. The car was stolen within a day. The car in Palo Alto remained intact for a week. Then, Jamba fights a big hole in the glass of the good car with a hammer. As a result, the car was stolen after only a few hours. Based on this experiment, the political scientist Wilson and the criminologist Karin proposed a "broken window theory": if someone broke the glass of a building window and the window was not repaired in time, people It may be implied by this broken window to smash more window glass. Over time, this building will have more and more broken glass, and it will eventually become tattered. This shows that in a publicly insensitive atmosphere, crime will breed and multiply. This kind of psychology of people is named "Broken Window Effect".
88. The domino (domino) effect: one glory is hard to be glorious, one loss is easy to damage, chain reaction.
Submitted by:
Comment: Domino is a rectangular domino made of wood, bone or plastic. When playing, arrange the dominoes at a certain interval, and gently knock down the first dominoes.
The physical principle of this effect is: when the domino is upright, the center of gravity is higher, and the center of gravity drops when it falls. During the fall, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When it falls on the second card, this kinetic energy is transferred On the second card, the second card transfers the sum of the kinetic energy transferred from the first card and the kinetic energy converted from the gravitational potential energy in the process of its own fall to the third card, so every When a card falls, it has more kinetic energy than the previous card, so their speed is faster than one, that is, the energy they push down in turn is larger than one.
The physicist A. Whitehead of the University of British Columbia used to make a set of 13 dominoes, the first one being the smallest. It is 9.53mm long, 4.76mm wide, and 1.19mm thick. It is not as big as a small fingernail. Each body is enlarged 1.5 times later. This data is selected according to the fact that when a domino falls down, it can push down a domino 1.5 times the volume. The largest thirteenth piece is 61mm long, 30.5mm wide, and 7.6mm thick. The size of the card surface is close to that of playing cards, and the thickness is equivalent to 20 times of playing cards. Arrange the set of dominoes at appropriate intervals and gently push down the first It will inevitably affect the 13th card. The energy released when the 13th domino falls is more than 2 billion times larger than when the first card falls. Because the energy of the domino effect increases exponentially. A domino uses 0.024 microjoules, and the energy of the 13th domino that has fallen reaches 51 joules. It can be seen that the energy produced by the domino effect is indeed eye-opening.
89. The Butterfly Effect: 1% of errors resulted in 100% failure
author: meteorologist Lorenz (Lorenz)
Comments: Lorentz once named AAAS in Washington of a "butterfly wings would slap Will it cause a tornado in Taxas? "Speech. He discusses that "a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil may cause a tornado in Texas, USA."
This is due to the fact that he operated a weather computer in his office one winter in 1961. Normally, he only needs to input the weather data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, etc., and the computer will calculate the possible weather data at the next moment according to the three built-in differential equations, so the weather change chart is simulated.
On this day, Lorenz wanted to know more about the subsequent changes of a certain record. He re-entered the meteorological data at a certain time into the computer and let the computer calculate more subsequent results. At that time, the computer was not quick in processing data. Before the result came out, it was enough for him to have a cup of coffee and chat with friends for a while. After an hour, the result came out, but he was stunned. Comparing the results with the original information, the initial data is similar, and the later the data is, the greater the difference, just like two different pieces of information. The problem is not with the computer. The problem is that the data he entered differs by 0.000127, and these slight differences make a big difference.
That is to say: if the initial conditions of a system are a little bit worse, the result will be very unstable; a seemingly unrelated and very small thing may bring about huge changes. He joked this phenomenon as the "butterfly effect." Since then, the so-called "butterfly effect" has spread wildly and gained a great reputation.
From a scientific point of view, the "butterfly effect" reflects an important feature of chaotic motion: the sensitive dependence of the system's long-term behavior on initial conditions. The classical view of classical dynamics holds that the long-term behavior of the system is insensitive to the initial conditions, that is, the small changes in the initial conditions cause very little difference in the future state. Chaos theory has challenged the traditional view. Chaos theory believes that in a chaotic system, very small changes in initial conditions are continuously amplified, which will make a huge difference to its future state.
A folk ballad circulating in the West can be used to illustrate this image. The ballad said: Lost a nail, broken a shoe; broken a shoe, folded a war horse; folded a horse, injured a knight; injured a knight, lost a Battle; lose a battle and die an empire.
Whether a nail on a horseshoe will be lost is originally a very small change in initial conditions, but its "long-term" effect is the fundamental difference between the existence and death of an empire. This is the so-called "butterfly effect" in the military and political fields. It sounds a little weird, but it can indeed cause such bad results. Some seemingly tiny things may cause the internal disintegration of the collective, and we must prevent it from happening, otherwise, it is too late to regret.
90. Hain ’s Law: Any unsafe accidents can be prevented
Proposed by
: German Pabus, the inventor of the aircraft turbo exhibit. Hain Comments: It means: behind every serious accident, there must be 29 minor Accidents and 300 harbingers of unsuccessful attempts and 1,000 accidents. It is to propose that there is a "Hain's Law" about flight safety in the aviation industry. If you want to eliminate this serious accident, you must control these more than 1,000 hidden dangers.
Hain's Law emphasizes two points: one is that the occurrence of accidents is the result of the accumulation of quantities; the second is that no matter how good the technology is, and then the perfect regulations, at the practical level, it cannot replace people's own quality and sense of responsibility. Similarly, to check the turbine fan blades of aircraft engines, some mechanics went to see the flowers, while some mechanics saw a small crack on the fan blades.
"Hain's Law" is mostly used in production management of enterprises, especially in safety management. "Hain's Law" is a warning for enterprises, it shows that any accident is cause and symptom; it also shows that production safety can be controlled, safety accidents can be avoided; it also It gives a way for enterprise managers to produce safety management-find and control signs. In real life, Hain's Law applies to almost all areas where safety is a concern.
91. Wang Yongqing's Law: Saving one yuan is equivalent to making one yuan net.
Presented by: Wang Yongqing, President of Taiwan Formosa Plastics
Comment: Wang Yongqing repeatedly emphasized this sentence on many occasions: "Saving one yuan is equal to making one yuan net". His idea is regarded as a classic by employees of Formosa Plastics Group, and is called "Wang Yongqing's Law" for domestic and foreign enterprise managers.
Making money depends on others, and saving depends only on yourself. In real life, most of us value wealth Creation doesn't seem to pay enough attention to frugality, and sometimes even thinks it's petty. As everyone knows, frugality is also a part of financial management. If you learn to frugally save every penny you do n’t have to spend, you will learn to use and create wealth.
Microsoft's Gates and a friend went to the Hilton Hotel for a meeting in the same car. Because they went late, they couldn't find a parking space. Gates disagrees with his friend's suggestion to park his car in the hotel's expensive parking space. His friend said "I'll pay". Gates still disagreed. The reason is very simple. There is an additional $ 12 parking fee for expensive parking spaces, which Gates considers to be a "supercharge." As a talented businessman, Gates believes that spending money is just like cooking. The salt is less, the dishes are bland and tasteless, the salt is too much, bitter and salty. Even if it is only a few dollars or even a few cents, it is necessary to make the most of each cent . One summer, 32 world-class entrepreneurs (whose total assets exceed the total income of the British national economy for a year) held a "summer party", and Gates was invited to attend this event. The island spent less than 10 US dollars on vacation, and it was not worth the money that "Singing Star" and "Movie Star" spent on dry cleaning clothes. Gates said that a person can only succeed in his career and live a happy life when he has spent every penny he uses.
The success of Wal-Mart, a large company with more than US $ 295 billion in total assets of well-known American brands, cannot be achieved without its strict management and "thrift"; Wal-Mart's well-knownness also stems from its high efficiency and the "broad" ". Wal-Mart's "thrift" really starts with a piece of paper. If you do n’t have copy paper and want to ask the secretary for it, the other party must write an understatement: "There is paper in the box on the ground, just cut it." If you emphasize the need to print paper again, the other party will answer: "We have never used it specifically. The paper used for copying is the back of the waste report. "According to reports, representatives of managers and above from all over the country who participated in the" 2001 Wal-Mart China Annual Meeting "lived in but only ordinary guest houses that were able to take a shower. Wal-Mart's frugality is not just for employees. Corporate executives insist on being the first to set an example. Although the founder of Wal-Mart, Sam, is a billionaire, his frugal habits have never changed. He has never bought a mansion and often drives his own old van into and out of the town. Each haircut costs only $ 5-local The lowest price for a haircut, often staying in the same room with others when going out. Wal-Mart's offices are very simple, and the space is small, even the office of the city headquarters. In addition to the rudimentary office facilities, Wal-Mart also has a very important measure, that is, once the mall enters the peak sales season, all managers from the manager to the front line of sales, they take up the role of porter, installer, salesperson and cashier. To save labor costs. Such a scenario will only happen in some small companies, and this behavior is often regarded as an "informal management model", but it is common in large groups like Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart people also have the time to be lavish. The display of "broad" is mainly reflected in the benefit of the office. Not only did Sam Walton set up a number of scholarships nationwide, but this "cheap" also donated hundreds of millions of dollars to five American universities.
Wang Yongqing's law tells us:
(1) Wealth accumulation is formed by two ways of creation and saving;
(2) Saving is the virtue of modern people, even the world's largest business owner, also regards saving as a requirement of self-discipline;
