INTRODUCTION:

The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others clearly and unambiguously.Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages often misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity.

In fact, communication is only successful when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication.

In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success.

In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively – whether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression.

INTRODUCTION Problem Solving, Conflict Resolving and Decision Making are the core competency of any effective executive. Understanding, learning and mastering these PS CM and DM skills, build potential of the executives towards a senior Leadership role.

While the Environment, Education & Experience are on one axis of Business Success Matrix, Change Challenge and Communicationare on the other Axis. The process of Interaction and integration of these parameters on the matrix, results in Problems Solving (PS), managing Conflicts (CM) and Decision Making (DM). Managing and mastering the art of PS CM and DM is the secret to Success Therefore, learning to manage PM CM and DM is integral to enhancing peak –performance.

Conflict may be defined as a struggle or contest between people with opposing needs, ideas, beliefs, values, or goals. Conflict is a conflict of values& interests. Conflict in teams and groups is inevitable and a part of growing process. Conflict not handled in time and properly, can escalate and lead to nonproductive results. Conflict handled properly can benefit the organizationboth in terms of growth and throughput.

Whereas conflict needs to be resolved, problems have to be solved. Both may look alike but differ in their nature and in details and hence needs different treatment.

Symptoms of the problem often mislead us. Problem solving thus entails identifying the root cause and genesis of the problem. In any business or industry, the ability of an employee to solve problems can mean the difference between success and failure. Lacking the ability to solve problems effectively, can be a source of anxiety and stress for any individual. Problem solving is not an exact science, although there are guidelines that a person can follow to become a successful problem-solver.

Flexibility and open-mindedness is an essential part of being able to solve problems, whether it is in our personal life or on-the-job. Possessing advantageous problem solving skills requires a person to understand the problem thoroughly, create a plan to solve the problem, seeing the plan through and reviewing the plan to ensure that the problem is solved and is not repeated. When a person has difficulty in imagining a solution to a problem, it is because he is overwhelmed with the details of the problem and lacks the ability to break down the problem or see the big picture.

Decision-making is the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision maker. Decision-making is one of the central activities of management and is a huge part of any process of implementation.

Vibration refers to mechanical oscillations about an equilibrium point. The oscillations may be periodic such as the motion of a pendulum or random such as the movement of a tire on a gravel road. More often, vibration is undesirable, wasting energy and creating unwanted sound pollution. For example, the vibrational motions of engines, electric motors, or any mechanical device in operation are typically unwanted. Such vibrations can be caused by imbalances in the rotating parts. Imbalances in rotating parts are caused by unequal radial mass distribution on a rotor system, a shaft condition where the mass centerline does not coincide with the geometric centerline. Also, the effective mass causes the rotor to be out of balance. Other reasons may be uneven friction, the meshing of gear teeth, etc. Alignment also plays an important role in the health of the rotary equipment. While carrying alignment Skill, time management and place plays a vital role in the upkeep, availability, and reliability of the rotating equipment. The Asset Effectiveness relates to extracting maximum profits from the minimum investment in plant and equipment, improving Equipment Reliability through the effective prediction (and then avoidance) of equipment failures and minimizing downtime through the integrated planning and scheduling of repairs indicated by Condition Monitoring techniques with those indicated by other techniques. The present programme aims at attending to above issues.

Radiograph Interpretation - Welds Radiographs are taken for various purposes in Industry then industry. Apart from producing high-quality radiographs, the radiographer must also be skilled in radiographic interpretation. Interpretation of radiographs takes place in three basic steps: (1) detection,

(2) interpretation, and

(3) evaluation.

All of these steps make use of the radiographer's visual acuity. Visual acuity is the ability to resolve a spatial pattern in an image. The ability of an individual to detect discontinuities in radiography is also affected by the lighting condition in the place of viewing, and the experience level for recognizing various features in the image. The radiographers need to acquire a definite skill to look the radiographs. The programme is also linked with the award of Level-II certification as per ASNT SNT TC 1A 2016 in case the participants successful undergo the programme and pass the examination with Min 80% marks.

INTRODUCTION:

Nobody in today’s World is immune to stress, and those individuals who are able to manage their stress alone are able to excel in their personal and professional life with greater ease. Unmanaged stress is the root cause for all problems as it directly impacts the Physical, behavioral and emotional performances of individuals. Unfortunately, many people are ignorant of this fact. Rather many are not even aware that they have stress or are prone to stress and or moving towards the zone of adverse stress Many organizations are combating two vital issues performance and Employee Engagement. Very few have realized that the root cause of the problem is unmanageable pressures/stresses. In today’s competitive world one cannot shy away from stress, and many are unable to differentiate between good stress and adverse stress, many individuals and organizations are looking for a holistic and scientific approach to tackle this major Epidemic.

INTRODUCTION:

Managing is all about acquiring a comprehensive set of skills. Performance is a function of how well these skills are applied. Ordinary capabilities and ordinary managerial skills are grossly inadequate to meet the exacting performance and quality standards demanded in today’s era of merciless competition and ever-increasing challenges, particularly to the power sector. Experiences show that use and application of these skills gets coloured by the cultural flux in the organisation. Even the best of the skills become the victim of cultural setting. Excellence is in a way a culture. And culture is a combination of several factors like, rites and rituals, values and ethics, traditions and styles of transactions, behaviours and tolerances for mediocre performances Customers today demand excellence in every aspect of delivery of products and services combined with very high standards of quality, generating an experiencing that they have received full value for the Money they are spending. Satisfaction is taken for granted, their demand is for excellence. The above objectives can only be achieved in organizations by having a sustained effort to develop excellence in each & every aspect of Human processes, productivity, performance, products and profitability (Factors - HXP5 ). Among these six Key Result Areas (KRAs), the vital element is Human Resource, which in turn manages the other five KRAs. It is the way that managers handle every small transaction in a big way rather than looking for doing big things, that makes the difference. Excellence is more of a habit. This programme on Managerial Excellence is aimed at providing the necessary inputs: both conceptual as well as practical transferrable to the workplace. Enabling today’s Managerstodevelop capabilities of achieving Managerial Excellence and consequential benefits in performance.
