A Tip For Undergraduates And Graduates In Our Formative Years Of Industrial Exposure

If you have aspirations to be an RCM Practitioner, knowledge of this will serve you well as you add experience to your years in the industry but you must start off well and layer your experience diligently. If you do this well, you will spend less years obtaining quality years of experience than spending quantity of years learning less.

In any production process, the process is the master and the equipment in the process are the servants. The servants work to fulfill the requirements of the master. A process requires understanding, a process has variables and these variables must be properly controlled; a process has a capacity and that process capacity requires continuous improvement. In your formative years as an RCM Practitioner, make it a habit to get to know well the 'master' and the variables that influence its capacity.

Here is how you can go about knowing well the process by structuring your plant knowledge and this is based on my personal experience in a structured learning approach and is my hack to accelerated learning and developing a deep understanding of any process. We read to learn, we write to understand deeply and we teach to master. Here is how you can write and document your own learning of the process.

In a production process, there will be sections and sub-sections. As you document your learning of the process, included a flow diagram at the beginning of each sections of the production line and highlight the location of where the learning of the process and report contents will be focused on. A process flow charting shows your understanding of what is done in the process.

Then have an introductions section to briefly give the objectives of the particular subject of training.

Divide your report into three (3) distinct parts per each stages of the production process.

First section should be a general description of the basic function of the process stage.

The second section should list all the machinery and equipment of the production stage or station. Remember - the process is the master and the equipment are the servants. Under this report section you must try to cover the basic operating principles of some of the machinery and equipment by relating them to 'classroom' theories.

Finally, at the end of each sub-section you must include a summary/conclusion and any suggestions/recommendations. This section gives again a brief outline of the content of your report but reiteration is the key to understanding well the production process covered.

I will probably write this industrial training report as a book 'Guidelines for Undergraduates and Graduates in Our Formative Years of Learning in the Industry'.

Report Abstracts And A Section Abstract On The Boiler Plant

The intent of this section of the article is to demonstrate how to go about layering your understanding by writing about it which will help with accelerated and deep learning. Here I covered the 'Preface' of my report to set the context then show report on 'The Boiler Plant' as a sub-system under 'Power Generation & Distribution'.
