After taking part in the industrial visit that the UTM IChemE Club had planned for Tuesday, June 27, 2023, I had learned something fresh about the working environment and was really grateful for having the opportunity to visit Synthomer Sdn. Bhd. I gained a lot from this industrial tour as an engineering student who is going to take part in an internship program in next year. My friend and I were excited to go on the industrial tour since we could learn more about the sector by physically being there.
The employees of the firm introduced themselves to us at first and gave us a quick overview of the company's history and primary products. Through the presentation, I had a basic knowledge of the industry and was astounded by the company's history. In addition, I learn about all the safety regulations that visitors to the industry site must abide by in order to avoid any mishaps. Following that, the presenter gave us a list of their workers, which made me realize how many people work for this company. My friend and I expressed our curiosity in specific aspects of the industry site and production processes during the Q&A session that followed the presentation. The speakers patiently and clearly addressed every query, and I was quite appreciative that all of my questions had been answered. I had carefully laid down all the crucial information for my future employment.
Next, a tour guide took us to every industry location within the company. Before we begin our tour, they had prepared safety shoes and jackets that must be wear by everyone of us. During the visit, Mr. Syahrizan, the senior HR manager, served as the tour guide. He is a highly enthusiastic and responsible individual, as seen by the way he presented and described each area of the industrial site as well as the large machines that were in use on the production lines. Mr. Syahrizan additionally talked about their controller room, and this is the portion that truly astounded me. I was eager to see all the intricate and cutting-edge machinery in the controller room. I also learned that the controller room plays the most vital role in the entire company since it must monitor and regulate all of the company's manufacturing processes.
After the tour, I was still amazed by what I had seen because it was the first time I had seen the genuine machine and equipment that I had learned about in the lecture and project. Overall, this industrial tour has greatly enriched my life by providing me with fresh knowledge and experiences.
