 Dear Team NHRD Chennai Chapter:
Congratulations for a job very well done. The programme was thoughtfully organised and this resulted in a delightful outing.
I could go on about what went off well - the travel arrangements, organisation by the host companies, pre-programme coordination... However, I shall cover what I think we can do to improve the learning experience during the next trip.
1 We could provide an outline to the hosts on what they could cover during the initial briefing, before the plant tour. It is difficult to hear above the noise in the plant, and the young technicians on the shop-floor can't be expected to be expert presenters. Perhaps, the briefing could cover the layout of the plant and the sequence of our tour, the process flow, an exploded figure of the product being produced (so that we can appreciate how it comes together and what is produced in-house versus sourced from outside), inventory control measures and quality management systems. All these details are available - they just need to be put together.
2 After the plant tour, a Q & A session devoted to HR issues is important.
3 Scheduling the trip on a holiday for the host's HR Department may be reviewed; they would naturally be reluctant to spend more than the bare necessary time for us.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
S. Arvind
