Week 1 in ORAI
Last week has been quite something for me. It started on Sunday May 14, when I left for Mumbai for my summer internship with HLL. We were to report to the training center called “GULITA� where we were introduced to each other and to the HR manager at HLL, Mr. Anuj Dutt. Sunday passed with some informal interactive games so that we could get mixed with interns from other Institutes.
On Monday we had the familiarisation program in which we were given an introduction to various aspects of HLL, like the internship program, the overview on HLL, manufacturing in HLL, supply chain systems in HLL, SHE (safety health and environment) policy of HLL, and lastly TPM in HLL. We were also given a chance to interact in an open house with Mr. Ajay Kumar (HR manager), which was quite good.
I reached Orai, my place of internship on Tuesday after a long and tiring journey, which lasted six hrs in all, and gave me backache. I reported to my project in charge on Wednesday who gave me the brief about the project and I was also given the security induction, which basically told me about the safety policies followed by HLL plant in Orai, was given the safety shoes and uniform to be worn in the plant.
Orai is small town located 122kms from Kanpur and is and industrial place with many chemical units located in small area. The Orai plant is a soap-manufacturing unit with main production being Breeze and Lifebuoy. My project deals with the noodle conveying system of the unit which has been facing a problem due to noodles getting choked up in the conveying pipes due to reasons like pressure loss, low velocity etc. I have already studied reports of the systems and the packing hall flow diagram has been made. The target is to increase the capacity up to the point the packing system can handle, as that is the main unit that will cause a bottleneck.
Apart from the project, other noticeable thing in an industry is professionalism. The people report on time, which makes us report on time too and teaches us punctuality. The concept of uniform is a wonderful one, and believe me or not, the entire unit form the clerk to the Factory Manager (the head) wear the same uniform which is quite amazing. Also lastly, in an industry, the main thing which is big concern for everyone is safety and environment issues which again is a very good thing to happen, and a firm like HLL is very particular at implementing these rules, any negligence on employee’s part for not following some cardinal rules can cost them the jobs, which stresses the importance HLL places on safety of their employees.
