Learning With Torch Light! - IIM Sirmaur
As an IIM student, one gets many opportunities and exposures which are not limited only to the domestic circuit but the international ones also. SDA Bocconi and the IIP in Milan has left us with so many memories to cherish. It was 9th of June when we went to Milan and from 11th our classes began. We have had our Ferrari Visit in the first week itself, but my favorite moment came in the Third week when professor Gallman took us to the basement in the X-Lab for an activity. When we entered into the room, there were parts of some devices arranged in order on a table and I was wondering whether we are supposed to create new products with those raw materials or is this a part of some theoretical learning. He then divided the class into two groups and then told us to prepare a team of 10 where one will be a plant manager, one will be the operator and rest of us will be part of the assembly line. We were about to experience some real time action. I was very eager to be a part of an assembly line team. There were 5 tables on which 5 departments were set up, each of them having a separate set of work and 2 tables on the other side had all the raw materials needed to carry out the operations. We were supposed to make a torch where department 1 has to insert the ring in the body, department 2 has to insert batteries, department 3 has to assemble the bulb of torch into the cap, department 4 has a screw to attach to the body of the torch and department 5 has been given to assemble the cap and the torch by matching its colors. 3 people were there, taking care of the stock in the departments and 1 person was allocated to take orders and fulfilling them.
