We reached the factory at 10.30 a.m. HR Manager,Mr. Madhusudhan received us at the entrance and gave instructions to the students. We were asked to assemble in the seminar hall where the HR Manager gave a brief introduction about the industry. Then the Production Manager, HR Manager & HR Assistant accompanied us from one section to the next and explained the process involved in the manufacturing of various valves such as Butterfly valves, Knife gate valves, Gate valves, Spherical valves, Dampers, etc. The workers were doing the work with concentration. The Production Manager explained how the valves were manufactured, raw materials used for manufacturing different valves and how these valves are dispatched.Then we proceeded towards lunch which was organised by the industry to all of us. Post Lunch we had another session in the Seminar Hall, where a team from the Production Department gave us a presentation on the manufacturing process with the help of a Flowchart. They explained the process in such a simplified manner that both the BBM and B.COM students could understand technical application of the manufacturing process very easily.This was followed by a feedback session where students and staff expressed their appreciation and views on the visit to Fouress Engineering Ltd.
