Study Notes

Airmen Leadership Academy (ALA)

Established as a center of excellence to produce supervisors with true leadership spirit, making PAF compatible with contemporary Air Forces.
Merger of JCOs' Academy and Professional Training Department into ALA to develop a proficient workforce by reinforcing leadership & management skills with focus on refined work ethics.

3D Printing and Scanning

3D printing uses additive manufacturing, depositing layers of material, solidifying and fusing them together to form a physical part.
Process is similar to old dot-matrix printers, using materials like melted plastic instead of ink.
Advantages include manufacturing complex parts with less material in relatively little time, without requiring machining processes and molds.
3D scanners are used to copy parts for reverse-engineering, requiring minimal user effort.
Applications include:
- Producing foldable furniture, saving space during transportation.
- Manufacturing programmed stents for heart patients, which can travel to the desired location and expand to open up blocked arteries.
- Developing 4D materials for aerospace applications, such as shielding space shuttles and astronauts from meteorites.

Computing, Big Data, and Internet of Things

Desired learning objectives include understanding basic terminologies related to computing, big data, and IoT.
Cloud computing benefits:
- Reduces costs by eliminating the need to purchase, configure, and install IT infrastructure.
- Lowers time to value, allowing users to start producing value immediately.
- Offers scalability, allowing organizations to scale according to work requirements and only pay for resources used.

Cloud Technology and Security

Cloud technology is categorized into:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): CSP provides hardware, and the user manages the software.
- Cloud security: includes measures aimed at protecting physical equipment, data, and applications on the cloud.
Cloud security involves protecting data at rest, in transit, and application level, as well as using code-based security systems.
Mobile security involves protecting end-users from threats such as theft, loss, or malware attacks on mobile phones, laptops, and tablets.

Cyber-Threats

Types of cyber-threats include:
- Malware: malicious software developed to steal data or damage computer systems, including viruses, worms, and trojans.

Tools and Techniques of Kaizen

PDCA Cycle: a systematic framework for problem-solving and implementing changes in a controlled and iterative manner.
Gemba Walks: a management practice where leaders or managers observe, understand, and engage with employees and activities on the ground to identify operational issues and improvement opportunities.
5 Whys: a technique to repeatedly ask "why" to dig deep into the root causes of a problem, rather than addressing only the symptoms.
Poka Yoke: a Japanese term meaning "mistake-proofing" or "error prevention" that aims to design processes and systems to minimize human errors.
Control: the final phase of Kaizen, which involves putting in place measures to sustain improvements achieved, including monitoring process performance and ensuring continued adherence to quality standards.

Key Principles of Kaizen

Continuous Improvement: the idea that improvement is an ongoing, never-ending process.
Empowerment of Employees: Kaizen empowers employees to take ownership of their work processes and identify areas for improvement.
Waste Elimination: Kaizen focuses on eliminating waste in all forms, including time, resources, and effort, to increase efficiency and productivity.
Standardization: Kaizen recognizes the importance of establishing and adhering to standardized processes to ensure improvements are sustained over time.
Teamwork and Collaboration: Kaizen promotes a culture of collaboration where teams work together to identify and implement improvements, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among employees.
