Last Tuesday, as early as 7.30 am all students of
Electronic System Engineering gathered at Kolej Siswa Jaya (KSJ) before
moving to Canon Opto Malaysia. All of us were very excited having our first
experience visiting a factory officially. Unfortunately, we arrive 45 minutes
late from the schedule and it makes our program a little bit compact and quite
rush since we need to leave in the afternoon.
When we reached there, we assembled again to take picture in front of CANON's building
Than we was briefed on safety along the factory tour. Before we start seeing around, we had a short briefing about the safety and rules there. He told that some places were prohibited to take picture and handphone usage. ..
After that there was a small tour to their environmental focussed areas like their own water treatment plant and in the house fertiliser development using the food waste. That was quite cool actually.
Then, we visit the manufacturing factory where they assemble the latest
digital camera product and also lens for DSLR camera. We were divided into 3
groups. Mr. Che Kok Hong, lens assembly manager, division 4 was the
person incharge to guide us touring the factory.
All along the way, he
described and explained about how the production line was maintained by several
officers and their respective technician. Apparently, they do set targets
for each production line to increase productivity through healthy
competition. This does makes sense to me as it will indefinitely create a
working environment that is not boring, but fun!
Almost 98 percent of the worker is women, they work very hard assembling
the camera component since everyday management already set a production target.
They were divided for some department which is receiving, assembling, testing,
and packaging. In Canon Opto Malaysia, they were producing the latest lens and
provide it to dealer which were L240 and L114/2 .We could see from a tiny part of a camera
were assembled to be a complete camera which is ready to sell.
After we done seeing
around the assemble division, we entered again the hall for closing ceremony. a
representative from Canon was giving a speech and then student's representative
also gave a speech. Canon Opto Malaysia also prepared some presents for us for
coming there.
Here, i want to share with all the readers
some memorable picture as we visited Canon Opto factory.
