Heavy Mechanical Complex - 3 Internship - Muhammad Umer's Portfolio

Heavy Mechanical Complex - 3 Internship

 Introduction

Under the branch of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commision (PAEC), which comes under Strategic Plans Division (SPD), Heavy Mechanical Compex - 3 is a job shop, capable of producing high quality and standardized products. The facility is capable of manufacturing safety class three, two, and one components. 

Organization Working

First, an enquiry is generated from the client. This is reviewed and if any additional data is required, the client is again probed for the required data. The design department writes the preliminary design report in which the feasibility, design cost, time required for manufacturing and initial Bill of Quantity are estimated. This report is shared with the client and a contract is signed between the client and the Sales & Marketing (S&M) department. The commercial order is generated by S&M. Project Planning and Control (PPC) gives work order to the respective department after Design & Engineering (D&E) releases the drawings, BOQ, technical specs and material specs after the Functional Unit Review. PPC draws production technology and Quality plan from the drawings, Bill of Material (BOM) from the BOQ, and Material Issue Advice (MIA) for the available materials. For any unavailable material, the purchase indent is raised, and material is purchased by the procurement department. Another MIA is issued after Quality Control (QC) gives the thumbs up. For all the material, a cutting plan is generated by PPC. These documents are given to the respective departments and after the manufacturing is complete, Job completion intimation is given and hence a Move order is generated by PPC. Finally, Product Dispatch Advice is given by S&M and the product is dispatched.
