"Visit to Hyundai "

Our department first industrial visit to HMIL turned out to be a memorable one. It was arranged as a part of extending their goodwill towards DOMS students when we welcomed some of the Korean students who are working as interns in HMI.

As we entered the company, we were ushered to the conference room where a small footage on the Hyundai Motors was presented to us. Hyundai Motors ,a Korean based company, second largestpassenger car manufacturer in India, has production plants at 7 countries .Globally it stands as fifth largest car manufacturers .The plant is located at Irungattukottai at a sprawling campus of 535 acres.

The plant has the state of the art facility with the production capacity of 57 cars per hour. In Chennai they manufacture 6 variants Santro, accent, sonata, i10, i20 and Xing. Chennai is considered to be the main production hub in Asia and also largest manufacturers among other Hyundai plants in rest of Asia. We could witness the entire production line up and the manufacturing process that is involved. The involvement of human resource is totally limited, only supervision is done by humans.After visiting the entire assembly unit, we were taken to the nearest farm house in HMI.

In the farm house we met the same Korean intern students who were waiting for us to welcome us. Had a small refreshment there and later gathered into small groups with One Korean student to each group. It was an opportunity to learn about their culture, way of life, language etc.

After a great session of fun, bid adieu to HMI and Korean friends. When we reached the gates of Hyundai I had a doubt in my mind whether we went for an industrial visit or a small fun trip.

Whatever! it was a day spent with a purpose

3 Cheers to DOMS!!!!!!!
