Operated surface grinding equipment to perform controlled material removal and achieve accurate, smooth, and consistent workpiece surfaces.
Collected, organized, and verified signed technical and operational documents by Technicians to ensure accurate records and proper documentation flow.
Sorted and organized machined components and hardware by type, size, specification, and production requirements for efficient handling and inventory control.
Learned the fundamentals of EDM processes and their application in precision machining through guidance from experienced seniors.
Gained an understanding of precision probing and measurement techniques used to inspect component dimensions and accuracy.
Observed about basic welding processes, equipment, applications, and workshop practices by observing and learning from experienced personnel.
Supervised Crane Operation — Given the opportunity by senior personnel to operate an industrial overhead crane under supervision.
Learned the basic controls and operating procedures of the crane.
Gained practical understanding of lifting, positioning, and moving loads within an industrial environment.
Developed awareness of load handling, equipment safety, and controlled crane movement.
Followed guidance and instructions from experienced seniors while operating the equipment.
Participated as a Team Member in a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program conducted at Fidel Engineering & Trading Pte Ltd from 15–16 October 2020.
The program provided practical exposure to industrial maintenance principles, equipment reliability, workplace organization, and collaborative problem-solving. Participating as part of a team helped develop an understanding of how preventive maintenance and operator involvement contribute to reducing equipment downtime, improving productivity, and maintaining consistent operational performance.

Skills:
Operator Skills (Autonomous Maintenance)
Operators learn to take daily ownership of their machines:
Basic Care: Cleaning, lubricating, and tightening parts.
Inspection: Spotting early warning signs like strange noises, vibrations, or heat.
Minor Adjustments: Fixing small issues before they stop production.
5S Organization: Keeping work areas sorted, straight, clean, and standardized.
Maintenance Technician Skills (Planned Maintenance)
Maintenance staff move from reactive repairs to advanced prevention:
Preventive Upkeep: Scheduling checkups based on equipment wear patterns.
Root Cause Analysis: Finding the deep reasons behind machine failures.
Diagnostic Testing: Using data tools to predict when parts will fail.
Specialized Repair: Handling heavy technical fixes while operators manage routine care.
Management and Leadership Skills
Leaders guide the culture and track major goals like OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness):
Coaching: Training frontline workers on new maintenance habits.
Kaizen (Focused Improvement): Leading cross-functional teams to solve chronic waste.
Active Leadership: Keeping the program energetic and preventing old work habits.
