On October 5, 2017 BRAC Business School’s students had a factory visit. It was one of the factories of country famous Super Star Group (SSG). The main objective behind the visit was to make student aware about how various works are done in a factory. This study tour was a part of BUS101 (Introduction to Business) course. The faculty Ms. Tania Akter along with the students left for visit at 10 a.m. and took about an hour to cover the distance. The factory is located in Narayanganj.
As soon as we reached there one of their managers name Mohammad Aulad Hossain, Group Chief Technical Officer, came to help us to visit the factory. The students had no idea about the type of the factory and how they produce this products. But once students entered there, they have seen the production of different kinds of switches, lights, machineries for making this, raw materials and so on. Actually, SSG is an electrical & electronics conglomerate in Bangladesh. They produce various types of electronic product such as fan, light, switch, television etc.
After that the manager brought students each and every floor of the factory and explained how everything works.
There were more than 300 employees who work in this factory, among them 70% are female workers. They basically do physical work like jointing parts, packing the product, moving things one place to another. In this factory, they have some rich quality machine and those are brought from abroad for tasting the product so that they could give their best quality.
After seeing everything in the factory the manager brought in a room where they served some delicious food and gave a presentation on their company. The SSG team shared that now they are exporting their product in abroad which is a proud thing for the country. At 3pm students reached at the University. Later, students shared, that Factory visit was a great experience for them and they could not able to know such important lessons without visiting there.
