I am Vaibhav Gupta, a third year Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate at Indian Institute of
Technology Jodhpur and I want to work in the department of Industrial and Management engineering. As an undergraduate student whose interest lies real life application of Operations Research and optimization. I am mostly interested in working in the areas like Operations Research, Energy, Optimization and Supply chain management. I have even done a Project on Improvement in supply chain management to achieve world class quality in TATA Motors Lucknow wherein the task was of Solving dropping sequence of parts manufacturing from supplier side in a Trucks and Bus factory. I have designed a prototype in Microsoft Excel that helps to generate scheduling of parts from supplier end and reduced communication gap between supplier and TATA Motors. Also i have learnt complete Tata Motors supply chain including KANBAN system, scheduling and procurement system, logistics handling, ERP, SAP and PLM software. As I had done my internship in Automobile Company, I am very much interested to solve practical problems in automobile Sector. In Tata Motors I found that there is a need of development in scheduling and procurement department, sometimes this department fail to perform its duty, which may lead to stop the Assembly line. This time I would like to analyse completely the Scheduling and procurement system and wants to develop an alternate system or modifying the current system. According to me if I am able to solve this problem, it will be great achievement for me as a undergraduate Engineer. Besides this, I have gained exceptional work experience and excellent communication and teamwork skills by spending hours in lab during my project works and presentations in class. In spite of hectic college life I have taken out time and participated actively in extracurricular activities and held various positions of responsibility. These activities have not just enhanced my personality but also boosted up my self-confidence. I am very interested in this internship opportunity at IIT Kanpur. It would provide me a golden opportunity of working with the best people in this business in a highly challenging environment which would be very beneficial towards my persuasion of post-graduation studies. The distinguished faculty and excellent facilities at your Institute make its graduate program ideally suited to my professional goals. I have heard lot of praise about your institute and faculties from my seniors who have spent time there during their internships. With some background knowledge in this field of Industrial Engineering, facilities available at your institute, proper guidance and opportunity for research; I think I can contribute in field of Industrial engineering. I would greatly benefit from this program and hope that it will be a symbiotic relation.
