Industrial
Visits
Through industrial visits,
students gain hands on practical knowledge on various industrial processes and
its management concepts. When they see how things work in reality, it gives
them a clear idea about the respective field they would be pursuing and the
amount of effort involved in the same. The subjects and concepts they study
will start making more sense to them. Students in their 2nd year are taken for
a local industrial visit and in their 3rd year for an outstation industrial
visit. Further international industrial study tours are also undertaken
periodically.

The Department of Commerce & Management
organised an industrial visit for the students of commerce. On arrival at the factory
premises of UNIBIC, students were taken to board room and interacted with
Production head. Production head all briefed students on profile of the company
and its different branches which are spread across the world. After the session students were escorted to
the manufacturing facility, they were explained manufacturing process. The first
next step is the quality inspection of the raw materials. The second step is baking
and then cookies are sent to the cooler. The next step is packaging, the main
label is pre-printed except the price, date of manufacture, date of expiry,
batch number. In the last step the automatic taping machines assembles and packs
the products. At the end students were
given insight into the types of products manufactured, size of the company, employee
strength, market share, domestic sales, state-of-the-art technology used at the
unit that provides superior quality products and rich taste that satiates the
palate of the consumer. Details were shared about the way the cookies are
packed and distributed to the various retail stores. The industrial visit

[2] Toyota
An
Industrial visit to Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited, manufacturing unit
located at Bidadi was organised for the students of B.Com and M.Com. Toyota
Kirloskar Motor Pvt Ltd is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan
(with Kirloskar Group as a minority owner), for the manufacture and sales of
Toyota cars in India. Students got an opportunity to witness the manufacturing
process of three Toyota models, namely - Etios, Liva, and Corolla. Toyota also
has a separate manufacturing & distribution facility of spare parts
adjacent to main production line. Since it was difficult to cover the entire
plant in one visit, the company officials explained some portion of
manufacturing process through presentation and rest through a tour. Students
were shown the entire process of manufacture to final assembly of different
vehicles. At the end there was an interactive session with production team who
clarified certain doubts raised by the students. By and large the visit was
very much informative to students who have gained practical knowledge on
various aspects of manufacturing. The visit was a fruitful affair as the
students were able to relate their classroom learning to a practical scenario.
