Mr. Harmie Azrak Maat has been appointed as the intern supervisor in
Lubricant International Melaka Lube Blending Plant. The internship period was
started from 7th June 2016 until 30th August 2016 which approximately 13 weeks
including public holidays. The working time for intern starts from 8.00am until
5.00pm for 5 days per week. The intern had been schedule for various topics and
19
tasks as the assignment to be done. Additionally there were few other
responsibilities besides assignment such as site visit, meetings and attend staff
engagement session. Short internship period have less benefits for intern and less
exposed to the number of real job scope. With long internship period, it will help
the intern to gain lots of knowledge and also understand the learning concepts
during study life. The scheduled workloads from the first week until last week are
stated as below:
• Operation Procedure
• Sampling
• Dipping

3.2 Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE)
After the first task had been completed and reviewed, the intern had assigned to
taken for conversions and the unrecorded downtime, hence suggest ways to
improve machine and process efficiency. In order to complete the task assigned,
the intern has gone through meet-up sessions, discuss, and consult with
Purpose of this operation is to transfer base oil from vessel to Tanjung Bruas
storage tank. There are several activities covered in order to complete the transfer
operation. First it involves the moving of hose from Tanjung Bruas area to jetty
towed by lorry. Vessel captain will issue document and Loading Master will
certify all the documents. After document verification and lab test has passed,
22
valve line up is performed to make sure material is transferred to the correct tank.
All the activities in base oil transferring from vessel will follow checklist. After
hose arrived at the jetty, hose will be connected from jetty manifold to vessel
manifold. From this operation, the intern is able to understand the fundamental of
raw material transferring operation from vessel, concept of pressure during raw
material transferring and pigging in which it used to clear pipeline before the
23
Sampling
Sampling is done for the purpose of ensuring the quality of material to be similar as
stated in Certificate of Quality (COQ). The intern has learnt and practice sampling
from drum, and from tank. Usually 1L bottle sample drum is used to take sample
from drum, drum mixer is used to ensure homogeneity of the drum. Sample from
tank can be taken either from the top or bottom of tank. Sample from top of tank can
be taken using sample catcher that traps certain amount of liquid. Sample from
24
Dipping
Dipping is a process to gain level and temperature reading at the tank. To get the
level reading, either by mode ullage or sounding, dipping tape is lowered into the
tank through the gauge hatch. Mode sounding is normally used for low viscosity
material inside the tank meanwhile ullage involve high viscosity material. In
sounding, gauge bob is release until it touch tank floor but in ullage mode only until

CHAPTER V
Nearing the first half of the Industrial Training program, the trainee
discovered a lot of new knowledge. Gave her the better understanding regarding the
oil and gas industry which literally met the expectations of her course, as a
mechanical engineering student this is a good advantage for her to practice in future.
Furthermore, the trainee also gained valuable insight of working life and what

between all parties. Sometimes in a team work there will be different people with
knowledge, working experience, and attaining new skills. Most of the given tasks are
related to actual projects carried out by the company. Participating in actual projects
also gives me experiences in relation to the constraints, limitations and problem that
26
In order to improve and make this internship more successful, the company should
keep intern in the organizational loop through emails, memos or staff meetings
Besides, they need to compile a list of secondary tasks for times when interns finish
their assignments ahead of schedule. Next, they need to consider interns as real
employees and teach them about the values of the company. Lastly,
insights into this career and also increase future employment contacts
