In the global market textile is the third largest market after tourism and the information industry.
As the textile demand increase with population and per capital consumption, growth and shifting
of the industry to the developing nations with cheap labor cost, Ethiopia textile has huge potential
for export. More over as the country enjoys access to European and American markets exempted
of duty tax and free from all quota restrictions, the textile and clothing industry in the country has
very good potential for export.

General
Since 1993, the country has taken significant measures to revitalize the domestic economy and
create an environment conducive to the proper utilization of the countrys resources. The textile
sub-sector is one of the strategic sectors, which has being given due attention because of its back
and front linkage of its employment opportunity and its potential business environment both in
domestic and export market.
Social Environment
Ethiopia is one of the populous countries in the region and third in Africa with a population size
of 63 million. The annual growth rate is 2.9%.The high population size combined with the growth
of disposable income due to the economic development the country creates high potential demand
of clothing that has a wide gap between current production and demand. Above 50% of the
production is under the age of 20 that creates opportunity for reasonable cheap labor force and at
the same time high consumption of basic needs among which clothing is one.
Technological Environment
Even though the technology in textile is under continuous development to automation and
computer aided design (CAD) the textile industry is still grouped under the labor intensive

manufacturing. As the standard product or commodities of the industry still do not require highly
flexible equipments, the sector in Ethiopia can easily compete in both export and domestic
markets.
Economic Environment
In wide context, the world economy has being globalized and in order to participate in the market,
the country is making every preparation by due to the continuous reform measures taken. The
economy is growing at an average rate of 7.2% that contributes to growth in the disposable income
of the population. As all the micro economic indicators show this trend is expected to continue in
the coming years. A port from policy adjustments to improve the economy efforts have being made
in developing the infrastructure that is essential for creating new investment opportunities.

CHAPTER TWO
Project and contribution
The automation at textile factory wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs) have increased with the
development of technology when treatment requirements. The textile units use a number of dyes,
chemicals and other materials to impart desired quality to the fabrics. This unit generates a
substantial quantity of effluents, the quality of which in most of the cases is unsuitable for further
use and can cause environmental problems, if disposed without proper treatment. The existing
wastewater treatment based on chemicals is so cost and not treated well.
To eradicate the problem we replace the chemical based treatment with by PLC based treatment.
PLC wastewater treatment systems provide reliable low cost and relatively low mentainance
treatment for textile industrial discharges.
The main focus of wastewater treatment plant is to reduce the biological oxidation demand and
chemical oxidation demand in the effluent discharge to natural water.
Wastewater treatment plant are design to function as bacteria farms, where bacteria are feed
oxygen and organic waste .The excess bacteria growth in the system is remove as sludge ,and
this solid waste is then dispose of on land. The project uses PLC s7-300 based on waste water
treatment.
Problem statement
Hawassa textile factory do not have automatic waste water treatment process and these
initiate us to design waste water treatment based on Semitic (PLCs7-300).
The existing waste water treatment in Hawassa textile factory is based on chemical
treatment ; as a result its running cost is so high .Hence we decided to design the waste

water treatment based biological based treatment .In addition reducing cost is powerful in
providing treated waste water and clean surrounding environment.
2.2 Objective
In this project there are set of objectives intended to attain:
2.2.1 General objective
To design a process for waste water treatment plant using PLCs7-300 and to replace the
existing chemical based treatment by biological treatment for Hawassa textile factory.
2.2.2 Specific objective
To reduce human power.
To give a clear understanding of the basic concept of waste water composition treatment
in the tank, pollutants in waste water, effluent characteristics and its control mechanism
using PLCs7-300.
To protect environmental pollution that by waste water.
To minimize the running cost of the company.
Significance of the project
The design of PLC based on waste water treatment plant controlling system has enormous
advantages for the Hawassa textile share company. This project has great advantage to the
company. Using PLC based automatic controller enables to have reliable system
performance.
Based on these principle the existing waste treatment is as follows .The existing waste
water is based on chemical treatment mechanism and its control system is manually not
automatic. Therefore when we compare the existing waste water treatment with what we
have designed is as follows:-

The proposed system will control and monitor the liquid level of the tank, temperature of the
wastewater, flow rate, pressure, odor, PH value, color, conductivity and other parameters
continuously and will ensure that a sufficient level of water is maintained. It can be used to prevent
industrial accident by overfilling of any open container, to prevent overfilling of any closed
container thereby creating overpressure condition. The high number of the input output port of the
PLC will enable this single system to control large number of tanks single handedly.
Alarm Systems
Alarm systems should be provided for pump stations. The alarm should be activated in cases of
power failure, sump pump failure, pump failure, unauthorized entry, or any cause of pump station
malfunction, minimum level and maximum level of wastewater, open or close failure in the valves.
Pumping station alarms should be telemetered to a textile facility that is manned 24 hours a day.
If such a facility is not available and a 24-hour holding capacity is not provided, the alarm should
be telemetered to central control room during normal working hours and responsible person(s) in
charge of the lift station during to the home of the off-duty hours.

CHAPTER THREE
3. INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
When I come to Hawassa Textile factory I have been with training center officers and they where
told as I start at the given area by principles and procedures of the hosting campany.During the
entrance time the companies training center officers also advised us how we manage our time and
use it effectively. Furthermore, they show us overview of company as well as ethics of companies.
Hawassa textile Share Company is integrated company which processes 100% of cotton from
spinning up to finishing in their respective section and also garment processing will be done by
some machine followed by kittening. The main work flow is spinning section, weaving section
and substation department.
Spinning Department
Spinning is the first step in the textile. It is the process of changing lint fiber to the weave able or
knittable yarn. Spinning department includes all the activities required to convert cotton in to yarn.
The major raw material for spinning is cotton and polyester.
Contribution of spinning operations makes to the overhead of the company at the planned cost of
low materials consumable & personnel. There are two types of yarn are produced those are long
fiber and short fiber yarn those has different quality which means the one which have long fiber
has high quality & the one which have short fiber has low quality.
Prepared
By. Bereket .B Page 17
Debre Tabor University Faculty of Technology // Department of ECE
The department contains machines like Mixing Bale Plucker, Metal detector, Six-step cleaner,
Two-Pitter, Auto-Mixer, Horizontal Opener, Carding, Drawing (primary and secondary passage),
Roving, Ring frame, Open-end, Winding, Twister and Doublers.
This Spinning department has five sections and two production lines.
1. The five sections are:
Blower room
Open end
Roving frame
Ring frame
Yarn store
2. The two production lines are:
Open end line
Ring frame line

of carding. It contains Bale Pucker, Metal detector, Six-step beater, Two-pitter, Auto-Mixer and
Horizontal
2. Carding Machine
Carding operation is done after blow room process. Blow room product is lap or chute, after
carding the output is sliver. Carded sliver feeds to drawing frame for making leveled sliver. This
process is the most important part of spinning. For this reason carding is called the heart of spinning
mill and well carding is half spun. Carding is done for both carded and combed yarns.

3. Drawing Frame Machine
Drawing frame is third process of spinning department the card sliver has hooked fiber &entangled
fiber those to be paralyzed regularized the strand/sliver (blend, mixing of cotton & polyester in
some ratio) the cotton is to give conformability for wearing & the polyester is to give high strength
The ratio is designed as per desire of the customer &from that the drawn sliver lead to the open
end process or ring line.
There are two types of drawing frame machine in the factory those are
First drawing frame machine
Second drawing frame machine.
Prepared
By. Bereket .B Page 20
Debre Tabor University Faculty of Technology // Department of ECE
First drawing frame machine is used for doubling (i.e. eight input with one output), elongation
and mixing (cotton with polyester).
Second drawing frame machine is in addition to doing the function of first drawing machine it
has special advantage which is leveling the sliver weight. Equipped with electronic auto leveling
system.
Auto-leveler is an additional device which is meant for correcting the linear density variations in
the delivered sliver by changing either the main draft or break draft of the drafting system,
according to the feed variation.
Fig3.4Drawing machine
4. Roving Frame
Roving is fifth process in carded yarn production & seventh process in camped yarn production of
the spinning department sliver is feed to roving machine &passed through creel & drafting zones.
There are two basic reasons for using roving frame:-
1. The roving sliver is thick and untwisted. Because of its hairiness and fly is created. So draft
is needed to reduce the linear density of sliver. The ring drafting arrangement has no
capable of changing the roving sliver in to yarn.
2. Drawing frame can represent the worst concern able mode of transport and representation
of feed materials to ring spinning frame.

Fig3.5Roving frame
5. Ring Frame
Ring frame which is the process in carded yarn production eighth process in combed yarn production
roving bobbins are reeled over hangers & roving is passed through guide bars, drafting to draft for
required yarn count & through ring & ring traveler for the formation of yarn which is wound on cops
fitted over roving spindles.
It has unique advantage over spinning technology:
It is universally applied in most of the textile fiber can be spun to required fineness.
The yarn spun from this machine demonstrates excellent quality feature uniform structure
and good strength.
It is easy to operate as compared to other spinning machines
Disadvantages:
More process stage, roving stage exist as extra process compare the other system
The high speed of the traveler damages the fibers capacity of the crop is limited
Energy cost is very high
Low production rate
Objectives of ring frame are to:
Drafting the roving until the required fineness is achieved
Winding the twisted strand (yarn) in a form suitable for storage, transportation andfurther
processing.

Weaving Department
Weaving is the interlacing of two sets of yarns, i.e. warp and weft yarns at right angle to each
other. In ATSC weaving section includes warping up to inspection machines. The flow chart
described in the Figure below.
Prepared
By. Bereket .B Page 25
Debre Tabor University Faculty of Technology // Department of ECE
To increase the smoothness of warp yarn by gluing the protrude fibers to the core by
means of size;
To apply a protective coating to the yarn to enable it so as to with stand complex stress
in weaving machines mean while maintaining or enhancing its strength and elasticity;
To improve the weave ability of warp by reducing warp breakages;
3. Looming process
After the required number of warp yarns in the fabrics wound onto the weavers beam, the warp
beam ends are then passed through the drop wires, the heddles of the harness frames and the dent
of the reed. This achieved by drawing in and/or tying in (the choice depending up on whether or
not the new warp is different and from the warp already on the loom).
3. Fabric inspection and rejection
The inspection process might start with 100% inspection; check of every items or random sample
based on statistical calculations as a norm one would expect 100% examination for the first
customer order and there after random sampling based on the quantities to be produced.
Machine Description of Weaving Section
A. Warping Machine
Warping machines have a very simple design, which results in higher speed & consequently in
output increase. This machine is shown in the Figure below.
Prepared
By. Bereket .B Page 26
Debre Tabor University Faculty of Technology // Department of ECE
In warping, the yarns are withdrawn from the single-end yarn packages on the creel & directly
wound on a beam. Warping is used to make smaller intermediate beams called wrappers beams.
These smaller beams are combined later at the sizing stage to produce the weavers beam
A. Brushing machine
The purpose of this machine is to remove the waste of the cloth and to change the weaving clothe
roller to bunch.
B. Inspection Machine
These machines are designed so that rolls of fabric can be mounted behind the inspection table
under adequate light and wound as the fabric leave the table. These machines are either power
driven or the checker pulls the fabric over the inspection table.
Power Flow Section (Substation in Hawassa Textile S.C)
Hawassa textile share company power section is responsible for supplying continues power supply
to each machines and equipment in all departments especially for the production department. The
power delivered to each machine and equipment should be the necessary value in order to function
properly consequently the machine and equipment can function without getting failure repeatedly,
a few order or less power inputs may cause a series draw back since the machine and equipment

are pretty sensitive except power taken by the PLCs and power used to initiate the contactors
which is 24v dc each motor uses a three phase 380vac.
AC Mains
The power directly given from Hawassa city substation to the factory is10,000KVA. This amount
of power is distributed to six medium voltages through a ring system (a system in which two lines
come out from the supply distributer, though, when one of the line face fault the other line is used
as supply. The 15kv power from the medium voltage control board passes through step dawn
transformers which convert s the 15kv to 0.4kv or 380v. Which is given to the low voltage control
board? Within the medium voltage control board there are different types of switch like motorized
and earthling and it has also fuse disconnections which are responsible for protect overload.
The medium voltage control board used for two purposes:
as switch during maintenance
as a protection (automatically) during fault
From the low voltage control boards the motors and electrical outlets of different department are
connected.
Power Factor Correction
The ratio of real power to apparent power is called power factor. Inductive loads cause current to
lag behind voltage while capacitive loads causes current to lead voltage. Also the presence of
harmonics current decreases the power factor. The power factor uses the total rms, this including
all harmonics. .
Active power (watt):-is that portion of electrical power that is real, it includes heat loss utility
charge are based on watts.
Apparent power (VA):-is the product of rms voltage and current which relates to the effective
load seen by transformer and current conductors.
Reactive power (VAR):-is the reactive component of the apparent power causes by a phase shift
between a current and voltage in inductors (coils) and capacitors. VARS are present in a
distribution system.
To avoid unnecessary losses, or to meet the acceptable load requirements of the energy supply
utility, power factor correction is often required with induction motors, particularly for large
machines or in installations running many machines.
Prepared
By. Bereket .B Page 28
Debre Tabor University Faculty of Technology // Department of ECE
The most common power factor correction is by means of added capacitors however, under certain
circumstances the motor controller can also be used for this purpose.In Awassa textile S.C there is
a capacitor bank with a four stage power factor correction capability in which each stage provide
increased power factor correction capability.
Protection and Control Devices
When motors are used, there should be the right controlling system as well as protective devices.

A circuit breaker is a protective device that interrupts current flow in a fault condition. It is not
intended for routine use to turn the load on and off.It also a device designed to open and close a
circuit by non-automatic means, and to open the circuit automatically on a predetermined over
current without damage to itself when properly applied within its rating.
Operation
In order to allow power to pass through the breaker, the operating lever is placed in the ON
position. This mechanically closes the contact in the breaker. When current pass through the
device; a magnetic field is developed in the bar. The intensity of this fields focuses through a large
piece of metal at the end of movable arm. When the current existed as predetermined amount, the
magnetic field will pull to the right, releasing the lever and the trip mechanism, allowing the spring
to pull contact open. This will disconnect power to the control circuit. To reset the breaker, it must
first be placed in the OFF position and return to the ON position.
Function
Circuit breakers as switch: - A breaker is a control device, or a controller. A circuit breaker can
control and protect an electrical circuit and people operating the utilization equipment. Circuit
breakers are not designed as replacements for operating controls such as relays, contactors, or
motor starters.
As current levels to be broken:-In current quantity breaker must be able to open overload level
currents.
As over current protection:-Any current in excess of the rated current of the equipment or the
capacity of a conductor. Circuit breakers provide a level of safety against over current conditions
in electrical circuits.
Short Circuits:-A short circuit is an unintended path through which current can flow. Any time
current flows in a path that is not the normal path, we say that the circuit is shorted. A circuit
breaker must be able to respond to a short circuit, which can present a large current flow in a short
period of time.
Generally circuit breakers have the following main advantages:

A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching a power circuit, similar to a
relay except with higher current ratings. A contactor is controlled by a circuit which has a much
lower power level than the switched circuit. Contactors come in many forms with varying
capacities and features Contactors are used to control electric motors, lighting, heating, capacitor
banks, thermal evaporators, and other electrical loads. Contactor does not provide overload
protection. When the coil is energized, the moveable contacts are closed against the stationary
contacts. Figure shows parts of contactor.
Contactors are designed to be directly connected to high-current load devices. Devices switching
more than 15 amperes or in circuits rated more than a few kilowatts are usually called contactors.
Apart from optional auxiliary low current contacts, contactors are almost exclusively fitted with
normally open contacts. Unlike relays, contactors are designed with features to control and
suppress the arc produced when interrupting heavy motor currents. When current passes through
the electromagnet, a magnetic field is produced; this attracts the moving core of the contactor. The
electromagnet coil draws more current initially, until its inductance increases when the metal core
enters the coil. The moving contact is propelled by the moving core; the force developed by the
electromagnet holds the moving and fixed contacts together. When the contactor coil is de-
Prepared
By. Bereket .B Page 31
Debre Tabor University Faculty of Technology // Department of ECE
energized, gravity or a spring returns the electromagnet core to its initial position and opens the
contacts.
3. Relays
Relays control current flow in a circuit based on signals obtained from an information source. An
electric signal (Voltage) gets sent to the coil creating a magnetic field, closing the armature, which
closes Normally Open (N.O.) and opens Normally Closed (N.C.) Contacts.
Relays tend to be of lower capacity and are usually designed for both normally closed and normally
open applications.
Operation principle of a Relay
It consists of an operating coil wound around an electromagnet pole piece, a moving armature and
one or more sets of contacts. When a voltage of the correct value is applied across the coil
terminals, the resulting current flow through the coil produces a magnetic field similar to a bar
magnet. The armature is attracted by the magnetic field and so moves a small distance. This
movement operates the contact.
4. Electrical Fuses
In electronics fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to provide
over current protection, of either the load or source circuit. It is Over current protection devices
are essential in electrical systems to limit threats to human life and property damage. Figure 2.9
shows a typical fuse parts.

Switch: - a switch is a device for making, breaking or changing the connections in an electric
circuit.
Push button: - is a device that provides control of equipment by pressing a button so that it makes
or breaks an electric circuit. When push button is pressed by applying force, the path of electric
current opens or breaks.
Indicator Lamps: - The colors are usually red, green, but other colors are also available. Red
lamps are reserved for safety critical indicators (power is on, the machine is running, an access
panel is open, or that a fault has occurred). Green usually indicates safe conditions (power to the
motor is off, brakes are on, etc.).
Limit switch: - is like a 1 NO +1 NC push buttons. The push button is actuated by hand whereas
the limit switch operated mechanically. The main function of the limit switch is to open or closed
an electric circuit when physical limit of the operation of the controlled device has reached. for
instance, a printing machine stop automatically when paper is fed in a wrong way as the limit
switch installed on its automatically pressed with the pressure of the paper.

An inverter is a motor control element that adjusts the speed of an AC induction motor. It does this
by varying the frequency of the AC power to the motor. An inverter also adjusts the voltage to the
motor.
In HTSC inverter is used to control the speed of motors in drawing frame machine. The controlling
is done by using frequency variation of the supplied voltage. For simplicity potentiometer is used
for adjustment of the frequency.
Operation principle of inverter
Most inverters are of the variable voltage, variable frequency design. The converter section uses
semiconductor devices to rectify (convert) the incoming fixed voltage, fixed frequency 3-phase
AC power to DC voltage which is stored in the bus capacitor bank. Then it becomes a steady
source of current for the power devices which are located in what is known as the inverting section.
The inverting section absorbs power from the DC bus capacitor bank, inverts it back to simulated
3-Phase AC sine waves of varying voltage and varying frequency that are typically used to vary
the speed of a 3-phase induction motor.
Rectifier (converter)
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating (AC), which periodically reverses
direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. Rectifiers are used in various
devices, including:-DC power supplies, a source of power instead of generating current and High-
voltage direct current power transmission systems.
HTSC use converter at warping machine for controlling the speed of the DC motor. Potentiometer
is used for adjustment the armature voltage which is the main parameter in controlling speed of
DC motor.

Steam boiler
Steam boiler or simply a boiler is basically a closed vessel into which water is heated until the
water is converted into steam at required pressure. This is most basic definition of boiler.
Working Principle of Boiler
The basic working principle of boiler is very simple and easy to understand. The boiler is
essentially a closed vessel inside which water is stored. Fuel in our case wood or coffee husk
briquettes is bunt in a furnace and hot gasses are produced. These hot gasses come in contact with
water vessel where the heat of these hot gases transfer to the water and consequently steam is
produced in the boiler. Then this steam is piped to the turbine of thermal power plant. There are
many different types of boiler utilized for different purposes like running a production unit,
sanitizing some area, sterilizing equipment, to warm up the surroundings etc.
The boiler in the HTSC uses wood or coffee husk briquettes as a fuel and it generate up to 10.33
bar steam and evaporation rate 1500 kg/hr. The steam generated is supplied to the sizing or
weaving preparatory room.

The simplest form of motor starting for the induction motor is the direct online starter consist MCB
or circuit breaker, contactor, and an over load relay for protection. Electromagnetic contactor
which can be opened by the thermal overload relay under fault condition. In this motor starting
mode we made the connection.
Different equipments needed for the direct on line starting method:-
Three phase induction motor
One overload relay
One contactor
the star and stop push buttons
Cable
The procedures that we followed when we constructing the circuit were: first we recognized both
the normal open and normally closed self-hold (auxiliary) of the contactor by measuring their
continuity with a multi meter. Then we checked the fuses and overload relay continuity lastly we
constructed the following circuit as follows:

In this kind of motor starting we made the circuit by following same procedure from the above
motor starting mode using the desired materials such as three phase induction motor, two
contactors i.e. one forward mode and one for reverse mode, one overload relay, two start and stop
push buttons, four fuses and cables. Here as we understand the purpose of this motor is to run the
given three phase induction motor either in forward or reverse direction manually by pressing the
start and stop push buttons in both cases such that first the motor run in forward mode after we
pressed the forward push button and then we press the stop push button and after a few minute we
press the reverse start push button and will run in reverse mode.
In HTSC, bell plucker and open-end machines are used this type of starting.
In this motor starting mode we constructed the circuit following similar procedures from the above
motor starting modes using the materials such as, three phase induction motor, four fuses, three
contactors i.e. one main contractor, one star contactor and one delta contactor , one overload relay,
stop and start push buttons, timer, signal induction lamps and cables . Here we constructed the
circuit as in shown in the following figures with two contactors i.e. both the star and delta

contactors depend on the main contactor thus when the power is on the main contactors and the
star contactor will be energized and the motor will run in star mode and after a few minute counted
on the timer, the timer make.
The star self-hold normally open and make the delta self-hold normally closed so that the delta
contactor will be energized and the motor run in delta mode. This will reduce high starting current
and torque.
In HTSC, drawing frame machine used this type of starting mechanisms.

In industrial processing operation there are cases where machineries should be started one after
another.
Manually
Sequential starting of motors means starting the motors one after the other. This type of control
necessary where second machine before starting must have all the auxiliary equipment. We made
the circuit by following same procedure using the desired materials such as three contactors, three
overload relay, three start and one stop push buttons, and cables.

Operation: the first motor can be started by pressing push button 1hold on contact 1 will close
and the supply to relay will commence through 1even if switch 1 is released. The second relay gets
supply through contact 1 and third relay get supply through second contact, the third motor can be
started only when 2nd motor is running. The second motor can be started only when first motor
running. The third motor can be stopped by pressing switch 3. When second motor is stopped the
third motor will stop automatically. When first motor is stopped by pressing switch1 all the three
motor will stop.

4. BENEFIT THAT GAINED FROM THE INTERNSHIP
Primarily when in third month duration we have got knowledge about different things and also we
developed the theoretical knowledge in to practical knowledge by understanding the science
parallel with it. In general the following skills are some of the skills that we get from stay will be
obtain with duration of the internship program.

from the company. In general we strongly recommended printing; sizing, preparatory process and
finishing area in textile are some of major area for entrepreneur. Because it needs lower costs and
less energy consumption.
A person being entrepreneur they should have the following characteristics.
Risk taker Self confidence
Creativity Commitment
Innovative Hard work
Advantages of entrepreneurship;
To properly utilize the resource.
Proper utilization of human potential.
To achieve economic development of the region
To ask the department head about some problems and taking his advice.
By studying different manuals in the library and by asking senior Forman
technicians that work in the factory.
At work we try to approach each worker to make them open to share their knowledge
and skills.
We also try to consider ourselves one of the responsible worker in the factory and
accept all work ethics and rule of the factory
We try to contact the company managers and told them about the transportation and
the allow us to use the company workers bus for only one time per day.
CHAPTER FIVE
5. Conclusion
During this internship I met many kinds of personnel. Some were really voluntary they teach us
things I do not know, welcome us with great spatiality, and take care like I were work there for a
long time. I gained a lot of experience from those people. While staying for four months in the
factory, I have seen different three phase AC motors with their internal parts and, different
machines with their operations and how to maintain them based on their problems using wiring
diagram from the manual when complex problem arises. Also I have got a chance to see most
abundantly applied power and control circuit connection diagram of motors using contactor, relay,
different switches and timer circuit in the factory such as: direct on line, star-delta and forward-
reverse connections dynamic break and sequential motor control .Consequently, I have lucky to
be in Hawassa textile share factory, because I have gathered much knowledge about what I have
studied in class. And there are things that I have to apply what I learn in order to achieve the goal.
Overall I have very happy with our internship period to gain many valuable experiences from this
internship.

5.1 Recommendation
Recommendation for the company
The money that earn for workers are low with respect to others. So the company accepts
the question of the worker to increase the money before the worker left the company.
In the time of production some workers not do well, so supervisors should manage the
activity of workers continuously as well as fulfill his/her responsibility.
Medical facilities are given in small considerations but such facilities should be given in
good way.
There are also problems in workers regarding to respecting of work time or on punctuality.
Therefore, it should be proper.
The company should plant good air conditioning system for worker in order to get
refreshed air during working time. It should help workers to fulfill their responsibilities
effectively.
They should write their vision, mission and values of company in front of entrance, instead
of put document in the training office.
Provide enough manuals for interns including 3D view for the example sometimes they
place formworks in inappropriate area.
They should provide office for interns and pay pocket money.
Recommendation for university
Universities are providing good opportunities for students in this internship program. But I
would like to recommend our University to do the following during the whole academic
session.
The university should have sent the students to different company in order to finish
their internship program timely.
The university should strive more on quality of education by preparing good
facilities like laboratory, library, work shop and others.

The teaching learning method shall be more practical other than theoretical, for that
to make the students full confidentand good expert in the field of study.
