Industrial Training At M/s Rane (Madras) Limited, Mysore.

ABSTRACT

Industrial training as the name suggests in the preparation for the


future project implementation. Training at M/s Rane (Madras) Ltd., Mysore plant
was been a very good learning in all aspects. In the training phase first of all I
came know about the company, the work done, the products manufactures,
projects done, the standards maintained by them during the whole process of
their work.

During the Industrial Training period at RML, I studied the organization


details, Company profile and the functions Quality Assurance Department. The
study requires thorough knowledge of organization. The study focuses on the
different departments and their functioning and the methods to improve the
organization. So, this study provides a wide scope for the student to gain an
insight into the practical aspects of the working of an organization and thus
increase his managerial skills.

Industrial Training At M/s Rane (Madras) Limited, Mysore.

1.1Objective of Industrial Training:


The main objective of the Industrial Training is to experience and
understand real life situations in industrial organizations and their related
environments and accelerating the learning process of how student’s
knowledge could be used in a realistic way. In addition to that, industrial
training also makes one understand the formal and informal relationships in
an industrial organization so as to promote favorable human relations and
teamwork. Besides, it provides the exposure to practice and apply the
acquired knowledge “hands - on” in the working environment. Industrial
training also provides a systematic introduction to the ways of industry and
developing talent and attitudes, so that one can understand how Human
Resource Development works.
Moreover, students can gain hands-on experience that is related to the
students majoring so that the student can relate to and widen the skills that
have been learnt while being in university. Industrial training also exposes the
students to the real career world and accustoms them to an organizational
structure, business operation and administrative functions.
Furthermore, students implement what they have learned and learn
more throughout this training. Besides, students can also gain experience to
select the optimal solution in handling a situation. During industrial training
students can learn the accepted safety practices in the industry. Students can
also develop a sense of responsibility towards society.
In conclusion, there is strong evidence that industrial training is highly
beneficial to students’ development, and it is highly valued. The students are
well equipped to manage the period of industrial training successfully and
undoubtedly gain useful experience of applying their specialist and technical
skills, as well as developing their personal and communications skills. This
internship also helps students to prepare for the work environment and also
teach the ergonomics of organizations in the real world.In brief:
• To understand the organization structure of an industry.
• To understand Management skills.

Department Of Mechanical Engineering, SJCE, Mysore 5


Industrial Training At M/s Rane (Madras) Limited, Mysore.

• To understand the functions and responsibilities of different departments.

1.2Methods of Industrial Training:

There are many methods used to assist me in gathering sufficient


information for my report. The main source of information was gathered
through interviews with particular employees and managers. They were very
approachable and assisted me in providing information and knowledge.
Next, I also used discussion method to gather information. I discussed
with the staffs on certain task that I was not sure and they helped me by
explanation briefly about their job description and also about the organization.
Apart from that, I also used observation method to gather information for
my project. I observed how the task is carried out, how the staffs interact
among themselves, how the working culture is practiced, how the relationship
between the manager and the employees is and the how the working
environment is.

1.3Scope of Industrial Training:

Industrial Training is very important for student learning process


in order to understand the theory that already learned and relate it with
practical which have been done in practical work at sites, labs,
workshops and much more. Therefore, the trainee should be able:
• To train at real working situation at industries before applied
the real job.
• E xpose to a new technology and applications in engineering.
• E nsure students will respect and follow the company’s rules.
• Allow the students to involve in the real working environment.
• Improve student’s confidence and develop responsibility.
• To know how to solve problem occurs in real work.
• To increase the creativity and innovative during the work.
• To improve working skill.
