Week 3

 

Moreover, I am also assigned to construct a few graphs based on the ratio analysis which I had calculated last week.  Besides, I have decided to use the Microsoft Excel to draw the grphs based on the percentage of margin that the company earn, number of days the company can receive their payment from the customers and number of times of the company's inventory turnover. The director of the company will know the financial health of the company at one glance rather than looking at the figures. At first, I does not know how to classify the ratios into the same graph. As a result, I had constructed 20 graphs and to submit to my supervisor. However, my supervisor had asked me to summarize the graph and adviced me that I actually can compile the same unit of measure into the same graph. Therefore, I need to redo it again by following the way my supervisor taught me. In addition, I had learnt that planning is important because if we do not plan properly, it will eventually affect our quality of work. Hence, I will know how to plan my work in the future to avoid the same problem happens again.

 

Furthermore, my supervisor has assigned me to design a new logo for our company. Therefore, I had also done some research online on how to create an effective logo design that is meaningful to our manufacturing company. It is important for the company to have a creative logo because the logo will represent our company's image. Moreover, I had tried to use the free logo maker website to design a logo for my company. Then I will discuss with my supervisor on the areas that I need to improve on and lastly we have decided to use the logo that I have created to represent our company. However, I had also faced some problem on searching the free logo maker website because most of the websites require us to pay for the license if we want to use the logo officially. Hence, I will need to convince my supervisor to purchase the license. As a result, my supervisor had approved to pay for the license. Lastly, my supervisor had decided to use the logo starting from next month onwards. Besides, I will also need to help to change the new logo for the application for leave form, overtime claim form, job application form, mileage claim form and office equipment requisition form. In addition, I have also request my colleagues to give me some feedback on the new logo to ensure that they do not encounter any problem on using the logo. Besides, I have learnt how to use my creativity to design an impressing and meaningful logo. In the future, I hope that I can use my creativity skills to help the company to develop a new product in the market that will impress the consumers.

 

 

 

After that, my supervisor had assigned me to help my colleague who is a receptionist to carry out her duties because she will be on leave a for a few days until next week to prepare for her wedding. Hence, I am responsible to receive the calls and transfer the calls to other colleagues. Our company has more than 350 employees. Therefore, each of the employees will have their own extension phone number. Moreover, sometimes there will be some courier company such as CityLink, PosLaju and DHL come to our office to collect the parcels that we want to send out or receive the goods that our suppliers sent to us. Besides, sometimes the factory workers will also request for a new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as filter, glove, ratchet headgear, visor, linde because their old PPE has spoilt. However, the workers must be able to prove that their equipment has spoilt in order for them to exchange for a new one. Furthermore, I had also faced a problem when I help my colleague to carry out her duties. As I know I am a shy person, I worry that I could not understand what does the person is talking about when he calls in. Hence, I had ask my colleague to give me some opinion on how should I perform to improve on my communication skills. In addition, I had also do some research online on the manners I should have when I answer the phone calls. However, it is important for me to have a good manners because these manners will represent the company's image. Besides, I had also learnt how to utilize my multitasking skills too because sometimes there will be a few person come into the office together to request for something or there is a phone call ringing at the same time. Furthermore, I hope that I can motivate and improve myself to be an outspoken person in the workplace in the future by improving my communication skills.
