Soap is in use since human civilization. People had been using to wash their hands using different materials, not exactly like the soap of today. Some soil is used to clean the hands after toilet. No doubt that soil gave the similar results what we get from the present soap. But using the soil in present day is totally out of question. The present day soap is important daily use item and hence we have to find a solution for avoiding the loss of material during use. Soap is a cleaning material for human body. It is daily used by every person. Its consumption is in huge quantity. Its wastage can not be tolerated at any cost. A new production management technique discussed in this paper helps to save the loss of soap and also make it easily catchable for use. Full and proper use of soap material by people is the topic of discussion of this paper.

Abstract. The positive effects of goal setting on motivation and performance are among the most established findings of industrial–organizational psychology. Accordingly, goal setting is a common management technique. Lately, however, potential negative effects of goal-setting, for example, on unethical behavior, are increasingly being discussed. This research replicates and extends a laboratory experiment conducted in the United States. In one of three goal conditions (do-your-best goals, consistently high goals, increasingly high goals), 101 participants worked on a search task in five rounds. Half of them (transparency yes/no) were informed at the outset about goal development. We did not find the expected effects on unethical behavior but medium-to-large effects on subjective variables: Perceived fairness of goals and goal commitment were least favorable in the increasing-goal condition, particularly in later goal rounds. Results indicate that when designing goal-setting interventions, organizations may consider potential undesirable long-term effects.
