WEEK TWO

This week, Niranjan gave us the assignment package, and explained what we need to do, and what we need to achieve from this course. The first assessment we are going to do is review the operation of an automotive or related business facility, and produce a report to see how its operation and compare their activities with current regulation and legislation, identify problems encountered in the business and find solutions. I thinks this is a good practice for us. After we finished this degree, our long term goal is to become the service manager or run our own automotive business, so understand all regulation and legislation of this industry are critical for us, and a very important skill we need to have is to find out problems, then decide which is critical, and find out the solution to solve that. I was thinking to do the review of the workshop that I am working in, but when we work in the facility, it is hard to see the whole picture of it, and we may get use to the way how the shop operates, the result is hard to find out the critical problems. My idea is, find another workshop, different location, different size, different people work in there, so I can compare how they operates, how different people use different way to solve the same problem, and refer to the regulations and legislations, to decide which is the better way to do in the future.

WEEK ONE

This is the first week of semester two, but I missed the class because I didn't know there is a class on Thursday.
