Scaling - Making of Adai
In March i invited my colleagues and there family to Dinner(Adai).
Still now i have prepared for 3 persons and today it will be double; That means i have to scale twice in everything i cook.
So i said to myself, it is In Project terms simply doubling and more, the risks are time management and the ingredients quantities.
So i started preparing the Batter, usually i do for 2 people(One quantity for dinner and the other for lunch), so now I made it three times.I soaked in water, the Rice and the dal and then Started preparing the Sambar.
Making Sambar was not straight forward like Adai, most of the quantities i normally do by trial and error when i prepare, so now it is a bigger challenge as the size is increased.
So i took a more slower and cautious approach while adding the ingredients.
(When scaling for the first time- need more attention)
Then the timing problem- it really took me more time than i have initially planned( but here also i don't have correct measurement of how much time i normally take).
I finished successfully preparing.
But then i felt that the quantity may not be sufficient and so i made some more Sambar again.
I also attemped Chatni.
All of this was a Success as my colleagues enjoyed the dinner.
Scaling at this level it self shows so many Process improvements areas!
