Introduction
CE3.1 I worked for the company, Goltabsabz from 21th April 2005 - 30th December
2006. I worked part-time as production planner in the industrial engineering sector
while I was a student. I was in charge of production planning, schedule material
ordering, recording of raw material inventory and working with the accountants to
prepare profit and loss and balance sheet statements.
Background
CE3.2 Goltabsabz Co. is a melamine dish manufacturer in Tehran. Because of its high
quality, competitive pricing and strength in marketing the company exported most of
its products. The products were exported mainly to Africa, South America, and Asia.
The company directors had started a program to change traditional management
methods to more productive and efficient modern methods. Therefore, when I started
working, I was in charge of establishing a productive and efficient production planning
and warehouse process.

CE3.4 Having prepared the MPS for each item, I prepared MRP tables. In fact, MPS
shows when and how many different products are needed. MRP shows material
requirement of each type in details. In order to establish a MRP system, first of all I

CE3.5 Before I started to work for the company, the warehouse was managed using the
traditional method. Usually the raw materials were purchased whenever they were
required and were stored just based on their type. I designed a documentation
procedure for warehouse as well as changing the warehouse layout to be applicable for
the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) system. Having finalized a MRP, I sent the date and
necessary amount of raw material to the supply manager. I identified each internal
order by a code, which was provided to the foreman and was also sent to warehouse.
Then each batch of material recorded and tagged based on the date and internal order
code that showed the period of planning that it belongs to. Therefore, when the
foreman asked the store manager for raw material, both of them use the code to identify
which batch should be delivered. There was identical code for each batch of product
related to the CRP as well. The CRP code should be mentioned on the finished product
tags in addition to other details. These codes not only helped me to have a feedback of
my planning but also in case of defected product it was easy to chase for raw materials,
if the problem caused by the materials.
CE3.6 After execution of the procedure the company accountant was able to do more
accurate job costing. In fact, we discussed about more accurate job costing and I entered
the data in a spread sheet in MS Excel. Then by specifying the cost of material, direct
labour cost, and overheads for each job, we had the cost of production for each period

Summary
CE3.7 Implement of MRP cut a lot of unnecessary cost of storage and ordering in the
company. Also, I established a systematic production planning, material ordering, and
warehouse control which caused efficiency in production line, supplying material,
warehouse management, and even in quality control. I chose the company since the
director started to change traditional manufacturing method with modern method.
Moreover, it was great practice for me to be involved in an industrial environment and
an opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge in practical situation. My managers
were fully satisfied by my professional attitude, team work, and skill of management.
