The 4Ss, 6Ms and 8Ps of business

Do you know what are the 4Ss, 6Ms and 8Ps of business?

Well, the 4Ss, 6Ms and 8Ps define key elements in a business from 3 different perspectives.

The 4Ss are:

  • Skills
  • Surroundings
  • Suppliers
  • Systems
The 6Ms are:
  • Men
  • Money
  • Markets
  • Methods
  • Machines
  • Materials
And the 8Ps are:
  • People
  • Process
  • Policies
  • Procedures
  • Price
  • Promotions
  • Places/Plants
  • Products
In these 3 different prespectives, do you notice they all start with one common factor, which is:

Skills = Men = Peoples = Human resources

Undeniably, human resources are the most important element in the business. Without Skills, the rest of the Ss mean nothing; Without Men, the rest of the Ms also mean nothing; and without People, the rest of the Ps mean nothing.

Realising this is very important, so that:
  • When implementing Enterprise Resource System (ERP), you should put emphasis on the human resources (users) more than the infrastructure, data, information, etc.
  • If you are a boss, you know which part of your business is the most important one, that you might affort to lost the others, but definitely not this one, in order to sustain your business.
  • If you are a financial controller, you should know how to better control the company's financial in the way that will not deteriorate the company.
  • If you are an employee, you should know why you need the certifications and continuous improvement on your knowledge and skillsets, which are actually your core value to contribute to your company.

A small truth to make life 100%

Just to share with you the following interesting write-up...

If


is ciphered to


can we get the keyword to make life 100%?

Hard Work

H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11
= 98%

Knowledge

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5
= 96%

Love

L+O+V+E

12+15+22+5
= 54%

Luck

L+U+C+K

12+21+3+11
= 47%

(don't most of us think this is the most important???)

Then what makes 100%?

Is it Money? ... NO!!!

M+O+N+E+Y

13+15+14+5+25
= 72%

Leadership? ... NO!!!

L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P

12+5+1+4+5+18+19+8+9+16
= 97%

Every problem has a solution, only if we
perhaps change our attitude.

To go to the top, to that 100%, what we
really need to go further... a bit more...

ATTITUDE

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5
= 100%

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work
that make OUR Life 100%!!!

People with the Right Positive Attitude will make a more efficient organization which will contribute towards a better society and a prosperous nation!

On the other hand, those with a Negative Attitude and blaming everybody else, will not only NOT solve the problem, but will likely make it worse.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Change Your Attitude...

And You Change Your Life!!!

Now that you know the answer...

WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT?
