noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:11:00 +0000

The Industrial Engineering Student Chapter at UMT earned national pride and recognition as they were recently endowed with Gold Award, the highest award given to the allied student chapters by the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE).

IIE, founded in 1948 and based in North America, is the world's largest professional society dedicated solely to the support of industrial engineering profession and individuals involved with improving quality and productivity.

Predicated on the students' performance and activities related mainly to Industrial Engineering, strict criteria are devised by the international body to select a handful of student chapters out of hundreds throughout the world. By dint of various activities including, but not limited to, participation in international competitions, conducting seminars, workshops, lectures, industrial visits, etc, throughout the academic year 2012-13, the IIE student chapter in UMT was able to win this award along with top universities in the world.

The IIE Student Chapter at UMT was founded in January 2011. The University of Management and Technology (UMT) is the only university from Pakistan that has received the Gold Award. This award shows how UMT’s industrial engineering program students are willing to help each other and serve their community. Their willingness, hard work, commitment, and team work has brought this important and prestigious award to UMT.

“It is a big achievement for all of us and we will soon be arranging a celebration event at UMT-IIE Student Chapter along with our members. I am thankful to all the members and the UMT administration for providing us the opportunity to show our mettle to the world. We hope that the UMT will continue supporting us,” remarked Azeem Iqbal, Founder & Past President of UMT-IIE Student Chapter.

"It is indeed a moment of pleasure and pride for the UMT student chapter. I congratulate all the members, particularly Azeem Iqbal, for the consistent and tireless efforts in bringing forward our chapter to this level. I hope that the current office bearers of the chapter will continue in the footsteps and raise the bar even higher," said the faculty advisor and head of Industrial Engineering Department, Farhan Daud Qazi.

Introduction to Arena Simulation Lecture by Azeem Iqbal

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 31 May 2012 16:22:00 +0000

Introduction to Arena Simulation Software - Presentation

Speaker:
Mr. Azeem Iqbal
Founder & Past President of UMT-Institute of Industrial Engineers Student Chapter.

The lecture covered the Arena simulation software which delivers the technology required to support all aspects of a simulation project. A flowchart-style modeling methodology, hierarchical modeling, and an extensive graphical library are just some of the features that make Arena the world’s leading simulation system.

Through a combination of process simulation and optimization technologies, Arena simulation software helps demonstrate, predict, and measure system performance--specifically the effectiveness and efficiency of new strategies--and test drive new business rules and scenarios in a controlled environment under varying conditions and decision criteria before implementation on "live" operations or customers.

Leading organizations have come to rely on Arena to help them improve customer service, capitalize on new business opportunities, and maximize profits. Typically, organizations realize a return of more than 10-15 times their investment in Arena and achieve these returns within a few weeks to a few months.

We invited our members and industrial engineering students to see for themselves how others have used Arena to help analyze and execute successful changes in their business environment.

Industrial Visit to Sanpak (Pvt.)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 15:48:00 +0000

On 14 April 20011, UMT-IIE Student Chapter arranged a visit to Sanpak Pvt. Ltd. The visit was for academic and learning opportunity. The visit was coupled with a tour of the facility along with a chance to work as an IE and perform Work Study and Method Engineering tools at some of the work stations. It was a great opportunity as an undergraduate student to get hands on exposure to the things that we are learning in our university. The leading person of the whole program was Prof. Salman Butt who is also the Co-Advisor of the student chapter.

We were received at Sanpak by Mr. Atique Tipu who is the Operations Manager. We were seated in a nice meeting room. After a brief introduction of all the students and the Sanpak staff we were introduced to GM Technical Mr. Amir. After the introduction it was the presentation session which was quite interesting.

The first presentation talked about how Sanpak Pvt. Ltd is a joint venture with Japanese Company Sanden and that they manufacture Automobile Cooling systems. With over 70 years of Sanden Corporation's technical, management and manufacturing know-how, Sanpak created confidence throughout the region as an OEM supplier capable of meeting stringent technical specifications of some the world's most prestigious automobile manufacturers. Their customer portfolio includes every Automobile Manufacturer in Pakistan such as Honda, Suzuki, Nissan, Toyota and Hyundai to name a few. Their line of products in this field is MFC (Multi-Flow Condensers), Aluminum Heat Exchangers, Compressors, Receiver Driers, HVAC, Coreless Pancake Motors. All Products and of Sanpak are certified by ISO: 9001, TUV CERT, ISO: 14001-2004. They use Nocoloc Heat Exchanger, Hose Crimping Machine, Automatic CNC Bending Machine and Automatic Paint Oven.

After company’s introduction we had Mr. Asif who is an industrial engineer their and is working for productivity and efficiency enhancement. He presented to us various methods that their team is applying their and how it is improving their productivity. His presentation was of the Process Engineering Department. The department follows 4M as their top priorities i.e. (Man, Machine, Method and Material). This basically comes in Ishikawa diagrams where causes of events are drawn on simple charts but they help get to the cause of events. In applying Six Sigma they are using DMAIC approach i.e. (Define, Measure, Analyze, Control and Implement). Using these techniques they are keen for productivity improvement. Using these techniques in the manufacturing of Alto and Mehran systems they have achieved 15% productivity enhancement. They also perform Method studies where they are doing process study, motion study and total research. They are also performing Work Measurements where they are calculating Working Hours of their works and dealing with them in Work, Time ratio. Using Kaizen and Lean Manufacturing thoughts they are improving their lines and their efficiency.

The visit was of an intense educational experience and I believe for any undergraduate student such visits and hands on experience is necessary. These things help student frame their mind to understand their responsibilities that they will be expected from in the future. Industries and Universities should combine themselves together where Students should be taken to such places and perform Case Studies then in their classrooms students should be given tasks to solve problems. In this way understand of student can reach up to a new level where not only they are learning the techniques they are also at the same time applying them to real world problems.
