Batch of 52 students of BBA 3rd Semester went for Industrial Visit to Naroda plant of Parle Products- Lao More Biscuits, accompanied by Dr.Sunil Patel (Faculty) and Mr.Himanshu Srivastava (Corporate Resource Centre) dated 27th Oct’21.
This unit of Parle has been there for 25 years now and has been inviting students from various campuses and grades. The unit was student friendly as they had special arrangements made for them. The first thing after entering the unit was, that the students were taken to the auditorium where a documentary regarding the establishment and how Parle works was shown. The video covered most of the details how the founders Shree Mohanlal Dayal and Shree Narottam Chauhan were inspired from the cookies and confectionaries of the foreign countries brought in India to build one of India. Parle also owns the Tag of having Asia’s Biggest Oven for its biscuits. Throughout these years how Parle started with their journey of success to how unique their flavours and no compromising in their quality was described.
Post that students witnessed the live production process of Parle-G and 20-20 biscuits and toffees including some of the basic steps like raw material testing, mixing, moulding, baking, cooling, packing and distribution. They were shown the printing of packets, cooling of biscuits after being baked, and packing them.
The students also asked questions to the manager regarding safety measures taken for workers as well as for the covid, they also asked regarding inspections and audits.
Overall, for all the students the trip was quite helpful to understand how the production department works and the importance of coordination between different departments, managerial concepts and measures in use for productivity, quality and safety.
