On April 3rd, we departed from Wells to visit Tan Land, Ichitan Green Factory in Ayutthaya. This trip was designed for gr.12 students who have been studying operations and human resource management in their 2nd year of Business Management (BM) studies, and for some, in conjunction with Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS) studies, taught by Mr. Chris. The trip was aimed to give insight into Ichitan’s manufacturing facility. Ichitan is a Thai founded and multinational brand, recognized for manufacturing green tea drinks, herbal drinks, fruit drinks, and energy drinks.
Tan Land is a dedicated and innovative educational facility built around the Ichitan drink factory. It is designed with state-of-the-art methods to expose students to modern and automated production processes.
During this time, BM senior students have been learning about the various aspects of capital-intensive and lean manufacturing. This trip exposed students to the reality of operating a business in an era of groundbreaking innovations and changes in human resource management. Moreover, it demonstrated how businesses are making an effort to meet the great demand of being environmentally, socially and economically conscious - the triple pillar of business sustainability.
Beyond real-life learning connections to BM and ESS, Tan Land truly captured the meaning of Learning with Fun. And this was an opportunity for us to celebrate together and to mark the end of a 2-year journey of IBBM learning.
Representing BM: Supply & Demand, Stakeholders, Predatory Pricing, Board of Directors, Market Share, and Partnership. Cool!
Special Thanks to Ms. Katherine for partnering and collaborating in guiding students and facilitating the event.
