The Project Manager maintains a harmonious relationship with the client and

environment to execute the project.
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Usually, a typical project begins in the process group with the conceptual or
basic design. The process group develops the initial part drawings, evaluates
all the options, and proposes the best alternative for the manufacturing. Other
disciplines will then work on what the process group has put down.

From the day one of my In Plant Training, I were attach to the Production
Department, which is relates to my core course. I was attach in both manufacturing and
engineering departments, which my mainly my tack covers all from conceptual
designing until manufacturing the parts/products.
I was in ACTIVE with my colleague, which is also from GMI. After two weeks of
performances, our Production Manager, Mr Pathma, instructed us to be an assistance
supervisor/ leader trainee in Manufacturing and Designing sector respectively. Our
tasks was unique, because we were an assistance at the same time we also design,
manufacture, and lead a team to accomplish a task on site.
Several tasks accomplished by me personally and of course some with the
advice of my supervisor. Those are involved in mould repair and maintenance,
manufacturing precision parts, designing, on site modification/assemblies, working in
clean room in Western Digital and Sun Power and involved in reports/documentation.
The major activities /task, which I lead or carry out personally in ACTIVE, are as
following,
a. Safely lift the mould by crane, 4 lifting points normally. Stand it on the
ground cushioned by wooden or rubber.
b. The mould must be place on two rails on a clean table with sufficient
space. Tools used must be in good condition and should include Allen
wrenches, aluminium pry bars, rubber mallet, duct tape, and some
containers.
c. Separate mould at parting line carefully and look for any visible damage. If
mould is damage, report it at once. Check for rust in core and cavity and
report it at once if found.
d. Have containers to put all the parts in and identify it with the proper job
number.
e. Check for core pins in Ejector Housing (at the bottom clamp plate) and
remove the core pins first.
f. Remove all necessary screws in the Ejector Housing and remove it.
g. Remove screws from the Ejector Plate and remove it.
h. Check if all pins are marked, if not mark as necessary.
i. Remove all pins and parts from Ejector Housing. Protect all fragile parts
and critical areas with duct tape.
j. Remove all water line jiffy-plugs
k. Remove all slides assemblies and protect all critical areas with tape or
carefully store in container.
l. Remove the Sprue bushing, hot sprue, or any hot runner system.
m. Remove all screws from cavity and core inserts and install two or four
longer screws in cavity and core. Then knock out cavity and core inserts
from mould base by hitting screws with a rubber, aluminium, or copper
mallet. BE CAREFUL NOT to knock insert out onto the bench or floor and
damage it.
n. Once the primary inserts removed, remove all sub-inserts, gate inserts,
core pins, etc. and protect all critical edges with tape or carefully store in
container.
o. Carefully clean all details with a clean, mild solvent and clean towels being
careful NOT to damage sharp edges, parting surfaces, shutoffs, or the
cavity finish.
p. Finally, store all inserts in such a way that the moulding surfaces protected
for the next working procedure and cannot be accidentally damage. Clean
and grease others to avoid rust and put in safe position.

Mould Maintenance
a) Check ejector pins, guide pin ejection fully forward position. Ensure they
are not loose and free from galling on the rods.
b) Blow off water remained in the waterlines under high air pressure
c) Clean the mould surface with proper cleaning agent or blow the mould
with high air pressure
d) Grease regularly all un-self lubrication parts like guide bushes, angle
location plates or wear plates.
e) Spray antirust agent inside mould.
f) Check all identification plates whether they are legible, in position or not
g) Place the mould in planned location with good protection on all extending
parts.
Mould assembly
a) Procedure of assembly reverses that of disassembly of the mould.
b) Grease all un-self lubrication parts like guide bushes, Guide pins or wear
plates
c) Spray antirust agent inside mould surface.

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is important that every level of worker in the company be able to do their job fully.
Delays due to numerous consulting of higher members of the company reduce the
effect of the workforce hired. Unskilled labourers been hired by the company make
errors. This also produces time delays and costly mistakes, which would require the
skills of a higher ranked employee of the company. This causes a chain of time
consuming that ripples through the workforce to a certain extent. The employees follow
not all safety regulations. This leads to risk of mishaps and serious injuries to
employees.
CONCLUSION
The Industrial In-Plant Training has positively contributed to my training as a future
Mechanical Engineer. At the In-Plant workplace (i.e. ACTIVE), I was able to reconcile
theoretical principles learnt in school with real Mechanical engineering design practice. I
also learnt various software applications relating to my discipline such as AutoCAD,
Solid Works, Unigraphics, Master Cam, CATIA, Microsoft EXCEL, Microsoft Word, etc.
Furthermore, I received extensive training on conceptual design fundamentals that
included from part design until assembly design. IN-Plant also gave me the opportunity
to learn about good work ethics, good interpersonal and communication skills.
The time spent on all the sites increased my knowledge of the industry in practical
sense and thus gives me the confidence to be certain of the future growth of my skills
and knowledge of the industry.
