Week 1

During our 1st week, we undergo orientation on general rules and regulationsinsider the plant

by the quality assurance supervisor Engr. Ronniel Mabunga he discussed the rules and

regulations of plant and some application of chemical engineering on their operation. On the

second day we are issued with GMP uniforms for us to work with proper attire and assigned to

different quality assurance laboratories, I was assigned in the acceptance laboratory which

covers all the raw materials and packaging materials from suppliers. During this week the first

task they gave is to arrange their files and familiarize ourselves to the handbooks that we will

//use in conducting experiments. We observe the following test they are conducting. During

this week test on viscosity, pH , and corrugated cartons are the test that we observe.

Week 2

On our 2nd week we are ask to fix and clean the old acceptance laboratory for which the

equipment from Rosario plant are stocked we conduct inventory on different laboratory

equipment and verify those equipment if they are calibrated and ready for use. We also

unwrapped those VIP samples that are left. During this week we are entrusted to do the testing

on viscosity, pH, and sensory test for packaging materials. Moisture content determination is

also demonstrated by the analyst during this week.

Week 3

This week the snacks line manufacturing potato chips and fries, Confectionary line

making cloud9, and Swiss miss line started their operation. Volume of raw materials like cocoa,

sugar, potatoes, peanuts, glucose, marine fats peaked which made the acceptance laboratory
busy. We conducted pH test, moisture content test, percent Free fatty acid test, aflatoxin test

on those raw materials and on potatoes we determine the percent defects based on a 13kg

sample.

Week 4

This week’s laboratory works are still the same testing on raw materials and packaging

materials. I was also able to roam the stock rooms of different products due to management

demands that quality assurance department should also check the shelf condition of raw

materials and packaging materials. I was also given the opportunity to enter the snacks

production room because I am asked to get palm olein for fry testing.

Week 5

During this week two different days the quality assurance department is asked to lead

the exercise during the flag ceremony. Also, during this week the Swiss Miss line and Autobake

line stop their operation due to finished job order and the raw materials delivery are lessen.

There are no cocoa delivery and fresh egg’s frequency of delivery is lessened.

Week 6

This week is our final week as a sign of gratitude I cleaned the cabinets for files and retained

samples. Laboratory test are still the same Potato sensory, pH of fresh egg determination,

sugar’s pH and moisture content, and other usual test and stock room checking. During our last

day we are given the time to pack some goods as we leave the company. Evaluation and

settlement of files is done during the last hour. Send off party is held night before the last day.
