Project excursion that feels so pro... :P


This morning I went with my risk management project teammates to visit the company that we are doing our projects on. The company that we chose is called Asahi Denka and it is mainly based in Japan. It is in the food industry manufacturing food products such as margarine, frozen dough, shortenings and oil refinery. The products that are manufactured in Singapore are mainly served as exports to the neighbouring countries as well as back to Japan.

Although the director is one of our friend's father, but the meeting and the discussion is really formal and professional. I am impressed with them that the different managers of the department that we focused our projects on have prepared presentation slides to brief us further on their management and understand how the process is like. We had serious discussion of the questions we have on their safety controls, their quality controls, cost effectiveness as well as the production process. This is really the first time I feel so much like I am really working, like being consultants to the company on how to manage their risk...lol Coz at the end of these few observation visits, we have to prepared our presentation on the risks that we observed and to give recommendation to the management team of the company. Haha...this is really preparing us to enter the workforce next year...lol

Good news I heard again today is that the Big 4 is recruiting more auditors every year, which increases to the number of about 800 by this year. I hope this information is real coz I really wish to get into the Big 4. Haha...stress time...lol

"Remember the 4 Ms that is important to the production industry: Manpower, Machines, Materials and Methods."
