Quality - Project Coordination Review

As a placement student in the quality department, my main responsibility is to ensure the integration of all projects and quality specific processes. This opportunity has provided me with a lot of experience in many fields. From communicating to stakeholders, keeping the database and notes up-to-date, data generation and reporting, understanding cycle time measures, I have been involved in ensuring improvement on a daily basis.

I was given the right amount of responsibility during my placement. They also used to push me positively to more opportunities to take the reigns and improve.

Yes. I have been able to improve on all my soft and technical skills. At the same time, I have also picked up on many new skills such as learning how to use Minitab software, understanding 6 Sigma processes, use of Skype, Zoom and Microsoft Teams on a daily basis. Cummins has provided us with Cummins Learning Centre (CLC) and Perciepo, 2 platforms that have many learning courses, videos, boot camps, and training courses.

I received a lot of support and guidance during my period. They got in contact with me before my placement to ensure I was doing fine (Since that was the time the pandemic had just begun), they ensured I had received all my material set-up i.e laptop and monitor on time so I could start work headstrong. I have meetings in place with my line manager every week where we also discuss personal development.

Very friendly and inclusive.

I enjoyed my placement quite a bit. There were many times, I would be interested to work overtime because the work was very meaningful. I had many chances to improve on myself, volunteer for causes and make lot of connections.

Yes
