Internship Life 3

Internship third week already over and I feel that the time goes quickly. This week i learn the process of assembly bucket of excavator. Even though both the bucket and the arm are heavy and have a large size, but we manage to assembly it in short time. The way is with the use of machine such as fork lift. After we assembly it, we still can adjust the clearance between the arm and the bucket using the thin plate. The second task i learn is added up the Racor filter as a diesel pre-filter before connect to the original fuel filter. By the way, we need to exchange and add up fuel hose on it.

This is the second week i work in workshop. As usual, I just follow the person who stay in workshop that will going to repair those machines. Most probably the person will be Mr.Zakaria. He has more than 20 years experience in repairing machines. He consider as a good master technician but he gt his weekness, that is slow motion. But he told me that, slow is actually a good process, since we would not easily miss out any important steps and we can complete the job nicely. So far i still familiar with the environment because i ever experience this before. Even though i am still new over here, but i already know all the technicians here. It is very important to stay closer with them because the envinronment will make all of us work together more better and efficiency.

Internship Life 1

5April 2010 is the first day I having my internship in Hitachi Company. In the beginning, the clerk prepare the personal locker key, identity card and also company T-shirt to me. She is Sakunthara which is the secretary of product support department. She is a very friendly person and hardworking for company. Since I am new in the first day, she record my personal detail and also ask for my shoes size and T-shirt size so that she can get it from responsible department. After that, she brought me to Mr.Lim which is my supervisor along my internship period. Mr.Lim brought me visit around the company and try to introduce to me about their company operation and how to learn well in my internship. There are few departments inside the company such as, account department, product department, marketing and sale department. After I visit the company, I found that they have a systematic arrangement where different parts that related to the machine have different section to allocate. As a result, there would not getting any trouble in keep their products. Mr. Lim bring me to Mr.John which is the manager of product support department and he explained to me about the company policy and also emphasize that I am not allow to work out station since the insurance do not cover for me at all. My working hour is 8 hours, start from 8.00am to 5.30pm and in between, I have lunch hour from 12.30pm to 1.30pm and the rest time are 10.00am to 10.15am and 3.00pm to 3.15pm. There have around workers that work together with me in the same department. My department responsibility is actually to support our product. In brief, it is actually to repair and service the machine we had sale. Most of the workers in my department work for out station, since they need to service the machines outside our company and most probably the machines is excavators. I walk around there and knew few employees inside the company. It’s quite unexpected I work as a trainee mechanic in workshop but I still will try my best to learn as much as possible about the machine and hopefully I can experience it more and more.
