2 week passed by in Topglove F19/20

2 week passes by in Topglove F19/20 during my internship... all of us having intern here always exchange our working experience now and then... we tell and hear others factory stories... seems like every factory have their own way of running and trainning their trainee... most of them doing dipping glove and compounding more to R&D... mine going the other way... I walking management and production route...

They have their fun, I have my challenge... My mentor and my HOD both helps me alot... although most of the time I alone... (almost 80% of the day) but when I get to them... they are willing to spare their time to explain to me... a chemist doing management? haha~ that's what me as production chemist in F19/20 doing... monitor the workers... ensure all are running smoothly...but I am still starting... just going around pushing here and there on minor mistake....

I am the type of prefering management than lab work... my HOD let me choose whether lab work R&D or management? A person like me that is so into management of people during secondary onwards of course choose challeging management... I love this management although I know it will be a very tough route...A failure in lab work R&D seldom get the blame...but a small mistake in production will encounter all sort of blame and scolding from all department especially the boss - GM.... He just love to keep shoot and shoot on production...since production is the heart of the factory that attached to all department... a problem in production means will pull all department down together...

Currently been assigned a big project to do... really BIG one =.=" got me head cracking d... need find out improvement on the production line to solve defects and increase output...@@ ... many of the method done by my HOD during his fresh time... now this burden fell on me again under GM order =.= ... my last project on another one still on going and now here comes another one... let's see... hopefully I can come out with some big ideas...LOL...

On the process to try turn permanent staff too...said need to see first after one month... My work start from 8am to 5.30pm... but I never thumbprint out on 5.30pm... currently record is 5.45pm earliest coz that day sicked...latest is 6.55pm coz follow GM walk the factory for 1 hour....haha.... although I start early back late but I just enjoy my work... haha... I love the stress... I just hate the noise...XD

1st day of Internship at Top Glove F19

Wuhoo... 1st day of internship... 04 may 2011, a memorable day...~ Woke up early 6.30am, ready for my 1st day ^^ after some washing and bathing... there we go 7.30am off we go to work... On the way the factory, we saw Top Glove shift workers walking home to sleep...zzzzz... 

Hmm...1st day, don't know what should I do... Get to the guard house, bla half day to the Nepal guard... at last "saya hari pertama kerja..." solve my problem, he gave a card to punch...Hmmm, probably that card only for me to punch for that day only, tomorrow will start using finger print. Now the next task, who should I meet? So, I meet the secretary which contact me... unfortunately, she starts work at 8.30am...wait wait wait...

At last, I was given my 1st uniform to change... hehe, working here really good, no need to think what to wear to work... After changing, I was given a form... "Chuah, now we need you to go to Top Glove Factory 2 to do medical check-up..." Factory 2? OMG...I need to walk 15 minutes and it's raining outside... hehe, luckily I was quite smart to ask for an umbrella ^^

Factory 2, but where should I do my health examination? Argh.... Who cares? Just simply go in and ask... I went in the 1st office, ask the HR department... he say "you go out of the building, then turn left and go in another entrance.." another entrance? So I walk out and into another office =.= ya, it's another office. So, I just got to ask again... This time the girl pointed to the building I went before and said the clinic is just beside it with the wooden door. Gosh... I look for sometimes and ya I found the clinic. 

Done with urinary test, BMI, blood test, eye sight test, body check, blood pressure... The doctor is very friendly and funny, talking to him was so entertaining...hehe... Off I go back to my factory 19... This time I was lucky to have a colleague I don't know drove a van passed by and gave me a ride. And she told me that, actually factory 19 is actually situated just behind factory 2 and we can just use the back door =.= damn...

After I handed in my signed health report to the secretary. There we go wait for another 5 minutes... Wow, I was handed over to a pretty production/R&D chemist, Chui Yoke to bring... She took me to the operation line... tell me abit about the department and there we are in the office. I was handed a book of production handout to study... good, study again... wow... I tell you, the sound of the stripping air jet was so noisy... makes me dizzy ... My pretty mentor was very busy with the production line...I need to study myself 1st...

Hoho...without noticing the time, she told me it's lunch time d...1pm-2pm, lunch break...punch out and in again at 2pm... back to the production office,  Chui Yoke tell me, later I will attend a daily quality meeting (DQM), so you follow me up to see... gosh, 1st day of work go meeting =.=... It was a long 1 hour meeting... Done meeting, at last my dear mentor Go "free" d... actually he was still very busy just that he bring me along to busy along with him...haha~ We meet the former (glove mold) department head... get the former for my DGM Mr Puon.... Hey, I got 2 free bananas to eat...haha~

There we go...off to the production line... Again we went to QA room see defect gloves... packaging room meet the assistant supervisor... went to the dipping tank... with all the noise around... Really need the ear-plug to reduce the affect on my ears... see the whole process for the glove making... starting from acid tank till tumbler machine... was explained in full by Go. 

Unexpectedly, Go was same age as me...but he is the current head of department... wow... working for around 2 years... He was so capable I could see... managing 2 factory production line...and I was just following him around also felt very tiring... wow, 6pm...my working hours is 8am-5.30pm...now it's 6pm d...hehe... I am still at the factory... not to say, of course Go and chui yoke still around... I still need to type a daily report to hand to my DGM and mentor and all production line staff. 

Phew...at 6.38pm I hit my my card...walked back to my hostel... it's a wonderful day of experience... I get 2 set of uniform 3 pens 1 pencil 1 long ruler 1 erasers 1 stapler 1 calculator and a goody bag...haha... Can't wait for tomorrow, cause I will be given a temperature catching gun to play with...hehe~ that's all for today... fun and stress...nice....
