industry as 7th plant of its sister companies. In 1999 the foundation of the plant was laid and

completed the whole building as well as more advanced technology machinery erection done

and in august 2007 it started production. The plant was inaugurated on September 03/2007

and started producing its licensed products for its customers officially.

As its applying very sophisticated machinery and advanced technology it is producing 36,000

bottles per hour of 300ml soft drink like Pepsi, Mirinda Orange, Mirinda Apple, Mirind Tonic

and 7up are produced by the plant.

Hawassa Pepsi Cola being distributing the products for local customers mainly southern parts

of Ethiopia.

. During the course of production of such products, a series of processes are carried out from

the start to the end when a product is finally dispatched for consumption. These processes are

carried out a serise of machines and their is also utillity lines help to prepare an ingredient or

product to be consumed in the corse of production of a product.

The power distribution of the plant is its main supply is EEPCO . Its contoll system is mainly

PLC control system.

The speed of AC motor generally depends on the frequency of the supply voltage and the

numberof magnatic pols per phase in the stator. Early speed controls depend on switch in

numbers of pols and contrll was only avilabel manually and in crud steps. Modern electronic

inverters make continuselly variabel frequncy supplys possibel permitting close loop speed

controll. For speed controol induction motor however, the supply voltage must cchange in

unison with the feriquency. This requires special voltage/hertz controller. This systm of speed

control is variabel feriquency drive(VFD).

1 CHAPTER ONE

1.1 BACKROUND OF MOHA

1.1.1 BRIEF HISTORYPepsi Cola traces its origins to 1898 when Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist in New Bern, North

Carolina, crated a curative drinks for dyspepsia called Pepsi Cola. Pepsi Cola later referred to

simply as Pepsi was a mixture of carbonated water, cane-sugar syrup, and an extract from

3

Page 4: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

topical kola nuts. To sell this product, Bradham formed the Pepsi Cola Company in 1903. In

addition to selling the drink at drugstore counters, Bradham bottled Pepsi for sale on store

shelves. At this time, bottling was a new innovation in food packaging.

However, due to major increases in the price of sugar, Bradham began to lose money on Pepsi

and in 1923 he filed for bankruptcy. The Craven holding company of Craven country, North

Carolina, purchased the company’s assets. In 1931 Charles G.Guth of the loft company in

New York City purchased Pepsi cola from the holding company. Guth had difficulty getting

the business going again, but he increased sales by selling larger bottles at an unchanged

price. By 1933 Pepsi cola was sold by 313 franchised U.S. dealers bottled in the United

States, Cuba, and England and sold in 83 countries.

MOHA soft drinks Industry S.C was established on May 15, 1996 acquiring Nifas Silk Plant,

Tekle Haimanot Plant, Gondar Plant, and Dessie Plant from the Ethiopian Privatization

Agency with paid capital of Birr 108,654,000. The Company currently has seven operating

units including Summit Plant, Bure Plant, and the recently inaugurated Hawassa Plant in the

Southern Nations & Nationalities People's Region.

The major products of MOHA Soft Drinks Industry S.C. are: Pepsi Cola, Mirinda Orange, 7-

Up, Mirinda Tonic, Mirinda Apple (all Pepsi Brands), and Kool (Bure Kool and Tossa bottled

water products.)

CHAPTER TWO

2 OVERALL INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

2.1 The way to the company

First of all i would like to thank my mentor who help me join the hosting company by

communicating with the plant technical manager. Before I get into the company things came 9

Page 10: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

in my mind; how one goes about getting a place in the company, I think it's important that you

do have a bit of concept. . After I joined this company I practice as an intern for 105 days.

Beginning from that day I tried to see the whole process and workflow of the company.

After i join the company it generally observation of instruments and power distribution of the

company for two consecutive weeks. That were as follow:

2.1.1 Power distribution

Input 15kv from EEPCO which is step-down by two transformers to 380-415 AC. There

is also a generator from main which used when power interruption from main supply. But

this generator is not an automatic since the power from EEPCO fluctuates for small period

of time which damages the generator. To protect the generator switch on/off manually.

Then the voltage described above go to LV (low voltage) room which sophisticated and

the voltages to all machines are distributed. Since the power (voltage) and current is in

phase in any power system but here the current lag the voltage because of inductive load.

So, it needs a compensation, that means the currents and voltages are become in phase by

a capacitor. The power factor is about 0.97.

2.1.2.4 Sensors

The plant have different types of photo electric (p.e) cell that are used to detect

the presence of bottles and to control the speed of the conveyor belt. We have

also different types of proximity sensors transmitter they install to perform

their purpose.

There are also different types of temperature sensor(transmitter)

these are: Resistance thermometry

Temperature transmitter

Mercury thermometer

-Level sensor

-Weight detector

-Flow sensor

2.2 Sections of the company were i working

The plant has several section which help to produce its product. But i try to describe some of

them.

These are:-

a. Distribution (Sales) section

b. Production section

c. Technical section

During this internship period i tried to see things that are related to my stream (power and control engineering) which is in the production and technical section. Work flow in the section

2.3 The work flow in this section is

Figure 2.2: Work flow in the section

In this report I tried to present what I have seen in the production and technique section.

2.3.1 Description of the PlantHawassa Millennium Plant produces Pepsi Cola products i.e. Pepsi, Mirinda Orange, 7up,

Mirinda Apple and Mirinda Tonic. During the course of production of such products, a series

of processes are carried out from the start to the end when a product is finally dispatched for

consumption. These processes are carried out by machines with the following capabilities:

a. Unpacking the bottles from the cases

b. Case washing

c. Bottle washing

d. Electronically inspecting bottles for different tests

e. Mixing ingredients

f. Filling the product in to bottles

g. Inspecting the bottles for fill level

h. Date coding on the bottle showing date of production

i. Packing the bottles back to the cases

j. Conveying the bottles and cases in the whole process.

Besides to the above machines, utility lines help prepare an ingredient or a product to be

consumed in the course of production of a product. These include:

a. Carbon Dioxide plant

b. Boiler plant

c. Chiller and Compressor plant

2.3.2 Carbondioxide (Co2) plant The raw material for the production of CO2 is oil. The process of production is started by burning oil in the burner. The flue gas which among other things contains CO2 and small amount of sulfur dioxide(SO2) is scrubbed in the flue gas scrubber where the SO2 is removed .From the flue gas scrubber the flue gas goes to the absorber where the CO2 is absorbed by a liquid solution of MEA in counter flow with the flue gas. The rest of the flue gas leaves the top of the absorber. To take the flue gas through this system an exhauster is installed. The MEA which is absorbed the CO2 is pumped from the bottom of he absorber through the ley cooler (MEA-MEA section)where it is preheated . It continues to the stripper where the CO2 is boiled out of the MEA. The stripper is connected with the boiler and from here the MEA which is now without CO2 is pumped through the lye cooler (MEA water section) where it is cooled down and pumped back to the absorber.

The carbon dioxide together with some steam leaves the top of the stripper and goes to the gas cooler where the steam is condensed and the carbon dioxide cooled. 2.3.3 Air compressor In this room two task is performed .those are : 1. Air oppression and

2. Chiller (Refrigeration)Let as see there operation one by one.

2.3.3.1 Air compression

It used to collect air from the atmospheric air by using electrical motor. This motor collect the air through air sucking valves. Since the collected air is mixture of water, dust particles and other molecules it should be filtered to get pure air . the mixture is separated by fluid oil(light oil) .after the fluid oil separate the mixture the air is moved to dryer. In the dryer if there is mixture in the air it is removed by the air filter. Then it finally stored to the air storage tanks. Then it is distributed to where it is needed.

2.3.3.2 Chiller (Refrigerator)14

Page 15: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

This is the second machine found in the air compressor room. Its function as the name indicates to cool the water for different purpose. The cooling operation is made by using Liquid Ammonia and Glycol.Since ammonia is a gas at room temperature it obtain as liquid at lower temperature which easily cool another liquid near to it. Here the cooling process have been done by conduction. The liquid ammonia cool the glycol then the glycol cool the water by conduction again. The refrigerated water is then distributed to the production area.

2.3.4 Boiler plantThis plant is used for te production of steam by using water as a raw material.

2.3.5 Bottling line machines

2.3.5.1 Packer and Unpacker

Figure 2.3: Packer or Unpacker Machine

The Basic parts of the packer and unpacker machines are:a. Gripper head with gripper head operating mechanism

b. Pack conveyor system

c. Container conveyance

e. Pneumatic control

f. Photoelectric sensors

Functional descriptionThe basic function of the machine is to carry bottles to the cases from the conveyor or away

from the cases in to the conveyors. In automatic operation, the machine operates in cycles. In

this mode, the following functional units are activated:

a. Product conveyor

b. Pack conveyor

c. Insertion frame operating mechanism and crate centering device

d. Gripper head with gripper head operating mechanism for inserting the products

into packs

e. Lift controller

The movement processes within the functional groups run sequence-controlled. The

functional sequence of the groups is partially carried out simultaneously. The working speeds

of the functional groups are matched to each other so that smooth, uniform operation is

achieved. In the following the operating sequence within the individual functional groups is

described.

2.3.5.2 Case washea

Water Flow

Fresh water

Cold water

Warm water 2

Warm water 1

prejetting

high-pressure prejetting

The fresh water flows like a cascade through the machine in the direction opposite that of

bottle conveyance. By doing so, the contents of the tanks are continually rejuvenated. The

alkalinity is continually reduced, and the temperature of the re-cooling sections is

automatically and optimally graduated. A pressure reducer ahead of the fresh water valves

optimizes water consumption by ensuring that the fresh water pressure is maintained constant.

The fresh-water feed is shut off if the machine is stopped. This prevents unnecessary

consumption of fresh water. The last warm water used for intermediate or caustic-free jetting

flows into the pre-heating- section: This results in a heat recovery and at the same time a

gentle pre-warming of the bottles. The waste water generated during operation of the machine

is led into the waste water tank via the overflow of the pre-jetting. With the waste water, the

high-pressure prejetting for pre-cleaning of the bottles is operated. The waste water

overflowing from the waste water tank is led into the drain channel.

18

Page 19: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

Synchronous Drive: Due to their design, the synchronous drives rotate in synchronization to

the rotating field in the stator. The rotating field is specified by a frequency converter from a

speed of zero up to the nominal speed.

If the drive fails to start up despite repeated attempts, it is highly probable that there is a

mechanical overload, e.g. jamming, chain maladjustment or blockage of the bottle cell carrier.

The gearboxes are protected against overloading.

Should the synchronous position of a drive become misadjusted, e.g. due to repair work

or power failure, the machine is automatically synchronized during the next start-up.

All drives are equipped with an absolute phase-angle sensor. Their position in relation to

each other is permanently set.

2.4 Work Task

The work task given to me by company supervisor was:-

1. To show how to re-wind an electrical motor based on the name plate of the burned

motor.

Normally they re-wind motor by using the method that they get through experience.

The way they take data is not familiar with the course we takes. Data they takes

from the burned motor are:-

a. Number of slots

b. Number of turns(counting manually)

c. Number of poles(counting manually)

d. Differentiating the type of winding( lap or concentric)

e. wire diameter(using micro meter)

Disadvantage of this method is if the motor totaly burned out no way to rewind the

motor again.

But, I shows for the technicians how to re-wind the motor from the name plate of the burned

motor. Data used for this method are:-

a. Power factor (cos θ)

b. Motor speed (in rpm) taken from the name plate

c. Operation current and voltage

2. Whenever there was a technical problem and break down in the plant I have a duty

to take part how to solve the problem. To mention some of them:-

a. In Co2 plant, the problem was the frequency converter(FC) of the

exhauster motor not functioned properly. We tried to know the

problem and the problem was the 2µf capacitor on the FC burned.

Finally we fix the problem by changing the FC by newer one.

b. In boiler room, the problem was the water level sensor not detect the

water level. We tried to fix the problem but we can’t get specific

problem, after some steps we decied to shunt the system.

3. Princile variabel frequency drive to control the speed of the motor.

34

Page 35: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

2.4.1 Control system principles

2.4.1.1 Open loop system (Manual control)

In an open loop control system the controlling parameters are fixed or by an operator and the

system finds its own equilibrium state.

In the case of a motor the desired operating equilibrium may be the motor speed or its angular

position. The controlling parameters such as the supply voltage or the load on the motor may

or may not be under the control of the operator.

If any of the parameters such as the load or the supply voltage are changed then the motor will

find a new equilibrium state, in this case it will settle at a different speed. The actual

equilibrium state can be changed by forcing a change in the parameters over which the

operator has control.

2.4.1.2 Closed loop systems (automatic control)

Once the initial operating parameters have been set, an open loop system is not responsive to

subsequent changes or disturbances in the system operating environment such as temperature

and pressure, or to varying demands on the system such as power delivery or load conditions.

For continual monitoring and control over the operating state of a system without operator

intervention, for more perfect or faster response automatic control systems are needed.

Negative Feedback

To meet these requirements “closed loop”systems are necessary. Also called feedback control

systems, or negative feedback systems,they allow the user to set adesired operating state as a

target or reference and the control system will automatically move the system to the desired

operating point and maintain it at that point there after.

Closed Loop Control System

Actuator/

Plant/system sensor

Page 36: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

A sensor is used to monitor the actual operating state of the system and to feed back to

input of the controllerr an analogue or digital signal representing the output state. The

actual and desird or reference states are continually compared and if the actual state is

different from the reference state an error signal is generated which the controller uses to

forces a change in the controllable parameters to eliminate the error by driving the system

back towards the desired operating point.

2.4.2 Variable frequency drivesThere are many and diverse reasons for using variable speed drives. In general, variable speed drives are used to:

Match the speed of a drive to the process requirements Match the torque of a drive to the process requirements Save energy and improve efficiency

The needs for speed and torque control are usually fairly obvious. Modern electricalVFDs can be used to accurately maintain the speed of a driven machine to within ±0.1%, independent of load, compared to the speed regulation possible with a conventional fixed speed squirrel cage induction motor, where the speed can vary by as much as 3% from no load to full load.The benefits of energy savings are not always fully appreciated by many users. These savings are particularly apparent with centrifugal pumps and fans, where load torque increases as the square of the speed and power consumption as the cube of the speed.Substantial cost savings can be achieved in some applications.The general wiring diagram of a load with variable frequency drive includes the power supply, protection devices, the frequency drive itself, the motor and the load.

Figure 3.2 wiring diagrm of FVD

In actual diagrams, the variable frequency drive includes particularly the following modules: The rectifier module where AC is converted to DC The DC link module where the rectified DC is smoothened by a capacitors and

inductors The pre-charge module where the capacitor is pre-charged by a DC power before the

actual power is connected to protect it from damaging surge. The inverter module where the DC is converted back to AC of variable frequency The controller module which controls the proper functionality of the drive and

monitors the drive for any undesired status e.g. over voltage, ground fault, over temperature etc

36

Page 37: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

Figure 3.3 variable frequency drive The speed of an AC induction motor can be controlled by adjusting the frequency and

magnitude of the stator voltage. Motor speed is proportional to frequency, but the voltage must be simultaneously adjusted to avoid over-fluxing the motor.

The AC motor is able to develop its full torque over the normal speed range, provided that the flux is held constant, (V/f ratio kept constant). A standard AC motor reaches its rated speed, when the frequency has been increased to rated frequency (50 Hz) and stator voltage V has reached its rated magnitude.

The speed of an AC induction motor can be increased above its nominal 50 Hz rating, but the V/f ratio will fall because the stator voltage cannot be increased any further. This results in a fall of the air-gap flux and a reduction in output torque. This is known as the field weakening range. The performance of the AC motor in the field weakening range is characterized by constant power, reduced torque.

The output power is zero at zero speed. In the normal speed range and at constant torque, the output power increases in proportion to the speed.

In the field weakening range, the motor torque falls in proportion to the speed and the output power of the AC motor remains constant.

2.5 Proceduer i follow while performing my work

Most of the time the computer (controller) shows the default. But sometimes it may

not show during these time they trobel shoot the expected component (material).

During this time they didnot give a chance to the student since the machine is

automated if aproblem in one place the whole system stop. So they quike to solve

the problem.

2.6 Efficency while performing work task

Initially when i start participating in the work task it challeng me so much but

through time with the help of supervisor and technitian it become simplifed.

2.7 Challenge

The challenge I faced in the plant during the internship time was, almost all control systems

controlled by PLC (sensors), that means these things are new concept for me. To go through

this concept I think it takes to much time but I tried to come up with this concept by reading

plant technical manuals, by searching from internate, by asking my company supervisor. Now

I have a little concept about PLC and its applicarion.

CHAPTER THREE

OVERALL BENEFITS

A skill refers to the ability of using that information and applying it in a context.

Lack of practical skills Practice is said to be the best of instructors. Educators admit this

universal truth, but are unable to provide students with opportunities for developing their

practical skills. Most educational programs are focused on theoretical part. Students have to

acquire a lot of theoretical knowledge, though the gap between theory and practice may be

rather broad.

During this internship time I have gained a lot of benefits according to improving my skills .

To mention some of them :-

3.1 Practical skillPractical skills are developed by course design, coursework assessment, feedback, tutorials

and seminars which endorses interactive and participative teaching.

38

Page 39: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

Before I joined my hosting company for internship I have blackbox image about the real

world (industries). But in this internship I have seen the practibility of some of the thing that i

have learned in only the subjuct matter; these are:-

a.Motors(squiral cage & synchronous)

b.Generator

c.Transformers

d.Counter

e.Timer PLC

f.Relay

g.Contactor

h.Overload Relay etc

3.2 Theoretical knowledgeWhen people decide that they truly want to learn and master a new skill they need a book that

is dedicated to that subject with details of materials, illustrations of techniques and explicit

patterns to follow or design source books with examples.

This internship have a benefit for an interns to upgrade thier theoretical knowledge. In this

intership program I found many theoretical knowledge that is not familliar with us before;

eg:-

a. PLC

b. Sensors

3.2.1 A little about PLC (PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER)

Introduction of PLCControl Engineering has evolved over time. In the past humans were the main methods for

controlling a system. More recently electricity has used for control and early electric control

was based on relays. These relays allow the power to be switched on and off without a

mechanical switch. It is common to use relays to make simple logical control decisions. The

development of low cost computers has brought the most recent revolutions, the

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The advent of PLCs began in 1970s, and has become

the most common choice for the manufacturing controls.

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are the control hubs for a wide variety of

automated systems and processes. Programmable logic controllers are used extensively in

39

Page 40: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

diverse industrial applications ranging from machining to automated assembly. They were

designed to replace the necessary sequential relay circuits for machine control.

PLCs have been gaining popularity on the factory floor and will probably remain predominant

for some time to come. Other areas of application of PLCs are industrial automation and

control of industrial equipment. Most of this is because of the advantages they offer:

a. Cost effective & Flexible

b. Computational abilities

c. Troubleshooting aids

d. Reliable components

3.2.1.1 Basic Principle operation of PLCProgrammable logic controllers function by interpreting data coming through their inputs and

depending upon their state, turning on/off their outputs. They are programmable via software

interfaced via standard computer interfaces and proprietary languages and network options.

PLCs function using relay ladder logic programming. Unlike traditional programming in

which command functions are read, interpreted, and performed in sequential order, ladder

logic allows programmable logic controllers to perform any command within the loop at any

time without executing previous commands. This allows PLCs to carry on their three basic

functions:

a. Control,

b. Input, and

c. Output - as needed.

In addition to controlling output functions, programmable logic controllers are good for

compiling data from many sources and uploading this data into a computer network.

3.2.1.2 Wiring Diagram – Ladder programmingLadder programming, one of the programming languages of PLC, is the easiest way of

programming a PLC. It is reflection of the wiring diagrams of some control circuits. To get an

easy understanding of the Ladder one should have an idea of what wiring diagrams are and

how can they be made for some control task. Wiring diagrams

a. Provide information about Industrial Control Circuitry

b. Serve two main purposes

c. Are a source of written communication

d. Serves as trouble shooting guide

40

Page 41: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

3.2.1.3 Relay Ladder Logic DiagramThe wiring circuits used in electrical control circuits are referred to as Relay Ladder Logic

Diagram.

a. The term Ladder is derived from the appearance of the diagram.

b. The term Logic is derived from the decision making function that is performed by

relays

Elements of Ladder Circuita. Power Source

b. Input Control

c. Device Load

d. Device Interconnecting Wires

Components used as Input Devicesa. Push

b. Buttons

c. Selection

d. Switches

e. Limit Switches

f. Flow Switches

g. Level Switches

h. Temperature Switches

Components used as Output Devicesa. Direct Devices

Lamps Actuators

b. Indirect Devices

Relays Contactors

3.2.1.4 PLC OperationThere are three steps of operation of PLC:

a. Detect incoming data

b. Process it

c. Generate outputs to control various devices

PLC achieves machine control as a result of

a. program written into its memory

41

Page 42: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

b. the power of its CPU

Program execution by the CPU takes place in 3 steps. It is called Process Scan Cycle. That is:

Scan input image table (PII)

Inputs are scanned and INPUT IMAGE TABLE is updated.

Scan program

CPU scan program Instructions sequentially.

Update output image table (PIQ)

CPU updates the Output Terminals.

Self-diagnostic check is performed by the PLC system

a. On switching power on

b. Any fault is indicated

c. Then the PLC starts the scanning operation

3.2.2 A little about sensorsSensors are devices used to provide information on the presence or absence of an object.

One type of feedback frequently needed by industrial-control systems is the position of one or

more components of the operation being controlled.

In this plant almost all sensors are Siemens sensors:-

a. Limit (Level) switches sensors

b. Photoelectric sensors

c. Inductive sensors

d. Capacitive sensors

e. Ultrasonic sensors

f. UV sensors

g. Conductivity sensors

h. Proximity sensors

i. PH sensors and so on

3.2.2.1 Sensor ApplicationsThere are any numbers of applications where sensors can be utilized, and as you have seen

throughout this book there are a number of sensors to choose from. Choosing the right sensor

can be confusing and takes careful thought and planning. Often, more than one sensor will do

the job. As the application becomes more complex the more difficult it is to choose the

42

Page 43: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

right sensor for a given application. The following application guide will help you find the

right sensor for the right application.

3.3 Communication skillThe purpose of communication is to get our message across to others clearly and

unambiguously.

In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50,000 employees,

communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing

managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School,

points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an

ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success.

In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals

continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively –

whether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to

compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression.

From this point of view without improving our communication skill there is no success on our

job.

3.4 Team playing skillTeams need strong team players to perform well.

Teams need people who speak up and express their thoughts and ideas clearly, directly,

honestly, and with respect for others and for the work of the team. That's what it means to

communicate constructively. Such a team member does not shy away from making a point but

makes it in the best way possible in a positive, confident, and respectful manner.

Teamwork has a dramatic effect on organizational performance. An effective team can help

an organization achieve incredible results. A team that is not working can cause unnecessary

disruption, failed delivery and strategic failure. Nowadays it is almost impossible to avoid

being a member of team. If you're not on an official team at work, chances are you function

within one in one way or another. So it's important for our personal and career development to

know our team working strengths and weaknesses.

This implies that team work skill is the backbone of team playing skill.

43

Page 44: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

3.5 Leadership skill

The modern view is that through patience, persistence and hard work, we can be a highly

effective leader. This section of Mind Tools helps me to start finding and developing

leadership qualities.“ Our first tools help you assess your current leadership skills, and explore

your motivation to lead without a strong motivation to lead, you'll struggle to improve your

skills or become an effective leader. However, if you HAVE to lead even if you lack an

intrinsic motivation to do so, our Leadership Motivation Tools article gives you some useful

techniques you can use to build your motivation.We move on to look at how you can harness

ethical sources of leadership power, and think about the many different ways in which you

can choose to lead.“ With these article, Iwill learn how to identify useful leadership styles...

and spot approaches that will probably fail.

3.6 Entrepreneurship skill

A wide range of skills are seen as entrepreneurial and useful to entrepreneurs, these include

both personal traits and skills:

a. Management skills - the ability to manage time and people (both yourself and others)

successfully

b. Communication skills and the ability to sell ideas and persuade others

c. The ability to work both as part of a team and independently

d. Able to plan, coordinate and organise effectively

e. Financial literacy

f. Able to research effectively, for example available markets, suppliers, customers and

the competition

g. Self motivated and disciplined

h. Adaptable

i. Innovative thinking and creative

j. The ability to multi-task

k. Able to take responsibility and make decisions

l. The ability to work under pressure

m. Perseverance

n. Competitiveness

o. Willingness to take risks

p. Ability to network and make contacts

44

Page 45: Hawassa Millennium Pepsi Cola Plant

Other more specific or business related skills, will be of use to entrepreneurs, these may

include:

a. being able to draw up a business plan for a new venture

b. being able to market and sell a new product or idea

c. financial skills, such as book-keeping and calculating tax

d. awareness of intellectual property and possibly patent law

3.7 Work ethicsThe work ethic is a cultural norm that advocates being personally accountable and

responsible for the work that one does and is based on a belief that work has intrinsic

value. The term is often applied to characteristics of people, both at work and at play.

Work ethics include not only how one feels about their job, career or vocation, but also how

one does his/her job or responsibilities. This involve attitude,behavior,respect,communication,

and interaction; how one gets along with others. Work ethics demonstrate many things about

whom and how a person is.

Thus employer expects employees to develop certain desirable traits that will help them to

perform their jobs well so that the company can succeed. Some of these traits include the

following:

a. Loyalty

b. Honesty

c. Trustworthiness

d. Dependability

e. Reliability

f. Initiative

g. Self-discipline

h. Self-responsibility

4 Conclusion This internship program is the best program for college students because i know what

it puts in our life. So i can say that it is the time the student faces challenges. I hope the student learn from challenges. When i say that i don’t mean they can’t learn from their stuffs of the company they assigned. But most of the time, the stuff members are not that much kind to discuss with them and they look for questions from the students. Any ways if they work hard and eager to know everything they will be good to be power enginer . The following things are or being the following things is un negotiable for one power engineer such as:-

Being practically rich

Being confident in theoretical knowledge

Team working ability

Creativity and problem solving ability

Etc...

The purpose of this Internship (attachment) program was to introduce students with working condition and mostly it helps students to grasp knowledge from practicing the theory which they have been learning in the class. I have been working in Host Company. This program gave me good practical skills and made us familiar to the outside real construction world. Most the theoretical things i have been learned gat illustrated here in this program, which develops more my confidence in the theoretical knowledge. Some of the benefits i gained from the internship program are listed below as:-

Help us to improve our theoretical knowledge and build our confidence Team playing skills and seeking for help in case of difficulties without any shame Leadership skill Kowhaw about PLC and sensor. Helps me to develop professional contacts, for searching job in the future . Assist me in developing greater understanding of my own strength and weakness, Work ethics Enterpreneurship skill

46

Recommendation1. While I have been working in Hawassa Millinium plant the worker of the plant was

complain about their salary,. This due to the company annual profit is good enough

but the company doesn’t give appropriate incentives for his worker .

2. The company doesn’t afford any pocket money for the interns. But the company gain

many use full services from the interns.

3. Finally I recommend the UIL to aware the hosting company about this policy.
