Industrial Visit
On 15th Dec 2010, all the students of our college went for an industrial visit to Atlas Cycles (India) Ltd. They had prepared questionnaire to find out about the product made and the processes and inventory management system used etc. They were welcomed by the HR manager who sent a production superintendent to see the factory. They visited the factory and saw how the various models of cycles are made at Atlas Cycles.
They went through the molding section on the shop floor, saw the assembly line, paint shop and the finishing department. They were also shown the packing section where they learnt that cycles are packed in compact boxes in lots of five and transported all over the country. The final assembly takes place at the marketing end at the showroom where the customer visits to buy the cycle. They also had a chance to visit the quality control department where they saw ways by which quality of metal is checked. They saw loading of finished goods into various containers and the weighting and entries made in various documents when goods are sent.
After the interesting factory visit they spent an hour with the Marketing head who explained to them about the nature of business and industry where Atlas is operating. Students asked questions about the marketing aspects and advertising aspects of the company. They also asked certain HR related questions from the point of view of making projects. After snacks and tea, they came back to college having learnt the practical application of theoretical concepts they learnt at classroom.
