On 5^th January 2015, It is the first day of my internship start. I work there as a production planner. As a production planner, I need to plan the production’s activities for the line under mine in order for them to produce the products that the customers need. There are two types of line production under my control which are Bonderising Lube Auto Line and Blue Zinc Auto Line and the main customer is PT. Shimano Batam. 

On that day, the person who supervise me, Sigit , he teach me how to fill in the work order and production daily plan. Before that, he took me to take a look around the production area, store area, and Quality Control (QC) area and introduce me to the person who I will give the work order and production daily plan to. Beside that he also told me about the working hours. Their working hours is 7 working hours which means if you start work at 7 am (Indonesia Time) then you can get off work on 3 pm (Indonesia Time) and if you start at 8 am (Indonesia Time) you can get off at 4 pm (Indonesia Time). The break hours is lunch hour (12 noon till 1 pm ; Indonesia time).

On 6^th January 2015, in my second day of work, I was taught about Master Order Status (MOS) and documentation of the packing list. Master Order Status is a program that they have which is about all the product transaction in the way of incoming and outgoing. And by looking that MOS, we can know the amount of products that we have on hand or the one that we deliver to the customers. Beside that on that day I was told to rearrange the outgoing invoice’s copy and key in the inventory of the company products such as RDM310 Inner Plate, RDM360 Inner Plate, RDM310 Inner Link, RDM360 Inner Link, FDTX50 Mounting Plate and FDTX51 Mounting Plate. Other than that, I still do the things that I have been taught in the first day such as make the Work Order and Production Daily Plan.

On the third day of internship, 7^th January 2015, I still do the same activity of Work Order, Production Daily Plan and Master Order Status in the repeatedly for the daily basis. In addition, I was taught about the data of Temperature and PH of the production program and how to key those data into the system that they have by the Manager, Septi.

On the fourth day, the daily basis things will still be doing in that way. And added some new things which are Sigit taught me how to key in the data of input issued to production date, receiving finished goods from production and delivery the customers. But up until now, he only let me know those without asking me to do it in the daily basis way. After that, the manager, Septi, she taught me about the boxes that they use and the amount that they use for delivery will be input to the system whereby they need to pay those boxes. Those boxes are GZ, HTBB, BBCG, OB (in which they will be separate according to the date), SBB and CTN.

On the fifth and sixth day, the daily activity still ongoing with the addition that I help my other co-worker to stamp the delivery order. That is about my first week of internship.

On the second week of my internship, all those activities that I had mentioned in the first week blog are all the same such as Work Order, Production Daily Plan, Master Order Status. In the same week I also separate the invoices, helping my co-worker about their delivery order and production daily plan. Beside those, I was taught by Manager about the key in those boxes into SPL and SPM data for incoming and outgoing. On the other hand, I also not really understand about that because I just touch those work a little bit without going any further.
