3. Introduction
My name is Pravin Shinde, and I had the opportunity to undergo an inplant training program in the production
and operation management department of a renowned tire industry. This report aims to provide a concise
overview of my training experience and the valuable insights gained during my time at the company.
The tire industry is an integral part of the automotive sector, manufacturing and supplying tires for different
types of vehicles. The production and operation management department plays a crucial role in ensuring
efficient and effective tire production processes, maintaining quality standards, managing inventory, and
optimizing supply chain operations.
Throughout the inplant training program, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in various aspects of
production and operation management. This included observing and participating in the tire production
processes from raw material procurement to the final testing phase. I also had the chance to understand the
importance of quality control measures and witness their implementation in the production department.

4. Introduction
Additionally, I learned about the significance of inventory management in the tire industry and how it affects
production efficiency and cost optimization. Through practical exposure, I familiarized myself with
inventory control techniques employed by the company, such as just-in-time (JIT) inventory management
and economic order quantity (EOQ) analysis.
Furthermore, I had the opportunity to observe and understand the interplay between the production and
operation management department and other departments within the supply chain. This helped me gain
insights into the coordination and synchronization required for smooth operations and timely delivery of
products.
In conclusion, this inplant training program provided me with valuable industry exposure and practical
knowledge in the field of production and operation management in the tire industry. The experiences gained
during my training have enhanced my understanding of tire manufacturing processes, quality control
measures, inventory management, and supply chain operations.
