2.0 INTRODUCTION

To complete the final semester of the Diploma in Office Management & Technology (OM

114) College Unikop / UiTM, I need to register the subject of Industrial Training (OMT 330). In this

subject, I, and all of the student who involved has been given the task to find a company and ask

them that we want to work as interns at the company. How to apply for a job is accordance with

procedures, we have to sending out our resumes, making walk-in interview and waiting for a call to

make sure whether we did qualified for the company or not.

I am thankful that I did not encounter any difficulties when applying to work as interns at

ADV Commercial Skill Sdn. Bhd. I was accepted to work there with a single application only.

Since the company was in desire need of expertise of youngsters who had skilled to do the

documentation, I have been entrusted entirely to work there.

There, I started a job as an administrative assistant cum project coordinator assistant. As

the business are carried more to the work of providing technical and service jobs to site plant

which is outside the office, sometimes I do have to follow the rules according to the company like

doing the inspection outside the offices. This is because sometimes most of the documentation

that have been made in the offices is based on observations of service & technical work that has

been made previous in site plant which is outside offices.

Here I will recounted all of the scope of work primarily within the scope of records

management that I have done for this company. I hope that my report may provide a little


information and a source of references to any students of Diploma Office Management &

Technology Part 6 – Practical Semesters onwards.

5.0 USE OF OFFICE TECHNOLOGY & EQUIPMENT

Office technology focuses on the office information functions, including word processing,

data processing, graphics, desktop publishing, and communications. All office functions, ranging

from correspondence, to multimedia presentations, to videoconferences, to automated records

management, to technologies to support distributed work groups, depend on office technologies.

Office technologies, such as keyboarding, dictation, filling, copying, fax, telex, records

management, and telephone and switchboard operations, are candidates for integration.

5.1) PC (Personal Computer)

At ADV Commercial Skill Sdn. Bhd., PC (personal computer) is the most important

technologies that I often used when working in the office. Actually, each employee who works

under the ADV’s from top to down management, had been given these facility on their own

respective seat and tables. It is my job as an administrative assistant to type all of the

documentation tasks that had been given by my own employers such as all letters, quotations,

invoices, inspection reports, purchase orders, delivery orders and others. And I mostly used

Microsoft Office applications especially both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as well as

Internet “Yahoo.com” e-mail to key the company’s own letters and e-mails, create spreadsheets,

graphs, and multimedia presentations, and keep my files on the computer file folders or networks.

5.2) Laptop computers


There is one personal ADV’s own laptop that will be given to employees that in need while

doing their work outside the office such as inspection at site plant more than a day. This

company’s laptop provided to them to facilitate their tasks for clients which in hurry easily such as

multimedia presentations, send and received e-mail, do research on the Internet, and create and

send reports and spreadsheets. And it also can be used to take notes in meetings which is well-

organized than just write on the paper. And I always using it too. I have no problem doing

documentation at ADV’s using both desktop computer since I only used for Microsoft Word, Excel

and PowerPoint that I have been expertly taught by the previous semester classes in colleges.

5.3) Photostat Machines, Phone, Faxes, Scanner & Printer

At ADV’s, there is also got the affordable and high-quality office technology for copying,

phone, faxes, and printer. ADV’s is a small & private businesses, and so the technology that

facilitate for each of the above only one been provided in the offices as convenience for the

workers. Each employee, including myself are given the appropriate training to use every

technology equipment that available in the offices by through direct bilateral communication with

employers or between the other staff. It is the responsibility of employee itself to use all of these

facilities carefully and wisely. For photostat machines, faxes and printer, we are reminded several

times by employers to not waste paper if any mistake errors in passing the documentation.

Recycling and proofreading is important. The use of mobile offices is to be used in critical business

purpose and for emergencies use only. Wastage is very avoided and scanner is rarely been used.

5.4) Office Software


The most widely used office software packages at ADV’s computer include word processing,

spreadsheets, databases, presentation graphics, e-mail and internet browser software. In short,

software applications like Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer are often used while doing the

work in the offices. Not much training is given only a few well briefings to maximize my power and

flexibility available using these automated office tools because I am quite adapt at using these

software & application.

5.5) Other equipment ( Camera, Tape Measure & Safety Helmet )

I am also disclosed the use of these three following equipment when doing inspection work

outside the office. As the ADV’s provides service maintenance & technical for each plant and

factories around Malaysia, these three parts also play an important role when doing that job. The

camera is used to take pictures of equipment and location of plant and site during outside

inspection. Tape measure was used to measure the overall area of plant location and site as well

as height and width of each building and the distance between building to building. As safety when

doing inspections at the factories, safety helmet is used.

5.6) Purpose of the office technology & equipment that I have used at ADV’s are as below :-

NO(S). EQUIPMENT(S) PURPOSE(S)

1. PC ( Personal Computer) For me to store information and communicate to other people via internet.

2. Laptop Computers Provide me with the capabilities of a desktop computer rolled into a small, portable unit.

3. Photostat Machines Helps me duplicates original documents.


4. Faxes Helps me transmit a copy or image of important documents especially in long distances using telephone lines.

5. Scanner Helps me scan documents or images onto my computer.

NO(S). EQUIPMENT(S) PURPOSE(S)

6. Offices Phone Standards forms of communication with ADV’s Clients other than email or instant messaging.

7. Printer Helps me print anything from my computer and it makes it on paper as photocopy.

8. Safety Helmet All about head protection when used in workplace environment, such as at factories site or plant.

9. Office Software Provide me with a software program that can use its organizational abilities for ADV’s benefit.

10. Camera Helps me capture images.

11. Tape Measure Provide me both inside and outside measurement that are accurate.


6.0 RECORDS MANAGEMENT

Findings in my own preminilary observations on the business records activities at ADV

Commercial Skill Sdn Bhd companies, I found out that the entire records of all site plant that are

already been provided by the ADV’s maintenance and servicing is carried out manually and stored

in files. Sometimes, ADV’s owners had to gather all the records manually to get the full report

regarding previous pricing or servicing to the site plant that they had already dealed and also

what’s status progress of work that should be given next for their previous clients. It takes time and

there is a possibility of data to drop out during the preparation of that site plant filing records.

Based on what I learned in subjects Records Management For Office Professionals – OMT

167 during semester 2 in college, a manual record keeping system will creates several problem,

including :-

1) Difficulties and require a long time to find files and information that is stored manually.

2) Requires a large space to store files and may involve additional costs to provide a place for

record keeping, especially when the ADV’s activities always growth over the years.

3) Storage of user’s information is exposed to loss, theft and damage.

4) It is difficult to get reports of activities quickly and accurately because the records need to

be collected and analyzed before the report can be provided.


At ADV’s, they only used manual filing system to ensure all companies information can be

retrieved at anytime when it purposely need. All manual filing are separated based on how its been

been labelled by category of that document and are issued followed by only one files for one year.

But using only the company name and the code of the document I can find the documents needed

in the file according the same information as referred above on the list of numbers at table of

content on files. Sometimes it takes for too long to retrieving the document because the document

contained are not all actually been sorting followed by the number that lists in the table of content

even if the document have been remarks with colourful stickers that had number on it. Worst,

when there are documents that I found out missing I had to searching it back through others

document sharing folder or mine on the computer.

They had kept the manual file that include hard copy forms such as Quotation, Proforma

Invoice, Invoice, Receipt, Purchase Order, Delivery Order, Letter, Credit Note, Debit Note, Site

Plant Name that includes their billing, and Inspection Report. Each document that has been sent

and attached by the client via ADV’s e-mail, or fax, or posts addresses should been reproduced

using a photocopier. Then, that original document by clients is placed directly into the files

according to categories of files and hard copy of the document is for the further action on the

client.


Thus, for small businesses like ADV’s, there is no actual person in-charged in the filing

section, since the filing area is in limited storage and open for all personnel to views. So, it is also

the duty of every employee to ensure that all files kept neat and organized in a shelf or drawer that

is available for filing at the office.

Since there is no specific person that assigned to keep the records, and it involves all

employees so I suggest that small businesses such as ADV’s may take these three (3) steps filing

system ideas that I would like to recommend with a simple items that aid in organization, such as :-

6.1) Desktop wire

Try to purchase a desktop wire or plastic file system, which featured tiered slots or pockets

that can hold paper file folders. Reserve the desktop file system for the most important papers

only, such as those that ADV’s planned for monthly review. Label the folders with headings such

as “Quotation”, “Proforma Invoice”, “Invoice”, “Receipt”, “Purchase Order”, “Delivery Order”,


“Letter”, “Credit Note”, “Debit Note”, “Site Plant Name” that includes their billing, and “Inspection

Report”. And try to make a goal to empty each of the files by the end of the month.

6.2) Inboxes

Buy or create an inbox. The inbox will be the place where mail is sorted when it comes in

every day. Create an inbox with baskets and cardboard cubbyholes from an office supply or home

organization store. Simply place several of these baskets on a table at the front door. When the

mail comes in, divide it into specific inboxes, such as those for bills, junk mail and personal mail

rather than just put directly on the ADV’s employer table. Until he was forced to cleaned up his

desk drawer because its getting full with previous correspondences that had been updated and

acted upon it.

6.3) Portable plastic filing cases


The company should buy several plastic filing cases, which can line up on a shelf or store

away in a closet, for important documents that need to be kept but do not get accessed every day.

Then, create subcategories to address specific documents that should be filed under a broad

category, such as previous years “Inspection Report”. Another idea is to sort files in a portable

plastic filing case by month.


7.0 COMMUNICATION

Every correspondence that I have done for ADV Commercial Skill Sdn. Bhd. clients are by

using Microsoft Office applications, both Word and Excel. The types of correspondence that I often

do in the offices are : Quotation, Proforma Invoice, Invoice, Receipt, Purchase Order, Delivery

Order, Letter to DOSH HQ, State, credit note and debit note. Each format for each types of

correspondence is different, the following are the rules and guidelines on how I prepared every

correspondence tasks :-

7.1) Materials

The very main material that is often used by me to prepared the correspondence are A4

white paper. Also black ink pen or black ink that is found in the printer. No other colors are used

while typing the text for correspondence except ADV’s company logo and addresses that is “set”

on the header of the letter.

7.2) Spacing

For spacing, I did for correspondence that requires me to make a spreadsheet to enter the

price. As an example, for Quotation letter – I make a five space table to putting the calculation of


pricing, for item price per unit(s), for the description scope of work, unit(s) item involved and the

numbers of item(s).

7.3) Margins

No margin that is specified as a format for each correspondence as long as the contents of

a typed letter did not run away from the A4 paper margins and looks attractive. The margins of the

correspondence that I always sets out are one and a half inches to the left and not less than one

inch on the right.

7.4) Paragraph Indentions

For each starting paragraph for a letter, I always indented five spaces from the left margin.

7.5) Line Spacing

For every correspondences, I usually use a single spacing, especially for letters. But if it is

for making “Inspection Report” for a site plant, I preferred to used double spacing to present it

appearance to more attractive.

7.6) Address

To write the address for correspondence, no matter what type of correspondence, the order

I used is similar to the following format(s) :-

i- Name of the company client’s or ADV’s (must be in CAPS lock condition, and bold).


ii- No. company building (coma) and then the name of a park or street location.

iii- Postcode (coma), and then the name of the town or cities.

iv- Finally, the full name of the state.

v- (Double Spacing)

vi- Mobile offices / Faxcimile ( if any )

vii- Company’s official website ( if any)

7.7) Key Word or Reference Code

The left side of the first page in each of the typed correspondence are puts with ADV’s

reference number of that document to ensure that the document read is correct and as a guide to

records filling in accordance with the file category.

7.8) Pagination

For each correspondence that requires more than two pages, I will put the page number by

using footnote for each page. It is used to facilitate for client to read and in order to simplified to

tally back to the document if there any pages are out accidently.

7.9) Enclosures


I put my initial name “KY” at the end of correspondence that I typed on the left (except

Inspection Report), after the signature verification, the name and designation of the employer.

At ADV’s offices, telecommunication technology are also playing an important role in running a

business.There are tons of different gadgets and programs that employee can use to communicate

throughout people the entire workplace or outside the workplace :

1) E-mails

Before the invention of more recent e-mails, sending messages and letters would take days

to reach its destination. The software used for application in the internet like “Yahoo! Mail” and

having our own company’s email helpings to increased our working productivity in terms of work

and made our jobs easier to dealed with our Clients.

2) Webcam

A gadget brings joy to the employees who came from the cities that is far from ADV’s. With

the advents of webcams and other video accessories, staying away from family and friends is no

longer painful. These gadgets can make things come near and makes human accessibility very

easy.

3) Mobile phones/offices

Initally in early years of telecommunication the wired handsets could be positioned at a

prescribed position only for connectivity. With advents in technology, mobile phones/offices really

helps ADV’s to deal with their clients on calls when moving around. Not just that, more handsets

can also avail internet facilities when moving around. So, it is easy for me to check up new e-mail

from clients that need as soon as possible to take action replies.\


8.0 HUMAN RELATIONS IN THE OFFICE

Since ADV Commercial Skill Sdn Bhd is a business that provide maintenance and technical

service for site plant and equipment in site plant or factories, so it has become a fashionable to all

employees to work not only limited in doing work in offices, but also outside offices during office

hours as well. Since I am here for about more than three (3) months, I was asked to conducted an

inspections to those factories that wanted a services from ADV’s.

Here I listed out all the company’s activities that I have been joined since I am with ADV’s :-

8.1) Site Inspection

So far I have come together with the rest position which involved to carry out inspection at

Syarikat Air Negeri Sembilan dan Syarikat Air Darul Aman. I was assigned to count how many

equipment that are found in the building, determind the distance and also height/width of the

building and the area location of each every water treatment plant that are selected and the

ownership from both SAINS and SADA. I need to take pictures and also helping my team to get

the information by using equipment that are provided by companies such as cameras, measure

tape and also all the document that involved to make a report.


8.2) Understand the scope of technical work at ADV’s to do documentation

I need to understand each engineering scope of work that is contained at the ADV’s

company. I need to understand type and how to read the details information regarding the

equipment or machinery that found in the plant or factory, and I need to understand what, why and

how the process being implemented by ADV’s to provide service and maintenance to the plants

and factories before a valid license are granted to them by the Department of Occupational Safety

and Health, DOSH, State. This understanding is also intended to simplify my documentation task

and as I mean, that Site Plant reports.

8.3) Leading a servicing & maintenance project

In addition to following of site inspection activities, I was also involved in leading a project to

ensure that technical wokers who work under ADV’s is safely and they are comply with regulations

when carrying out cleaning and installation activities of equipment in the plant and factory. So far,

I’ve been leading the project at MIMOS Berhad, Bangi for cleaning and installation of two air

receiver. The other are at Scomi Oiltools Welfare Sdn. Bhd, for installation of a new “man hole” to

one surge vessels. But, I am also been assigned to do a Visual Inspection Report for both as

usual.

Since I am working as a practical students at ADV’s companies, I have not stressed since I have

my own way in carrying out my daily rountine at work. I know how to learned to always keep

tolerance and giving acceptance of all the duties that I have been entrusted by my own


supervisors, co-workers, sub-ordinate and clients. The following is my strategy on what I am doing

while working with others :-

1) Always have a “Plan B”

As what I have seen, at ADV’s, every employee willing to take risks to do a job without the

knowledge to ask and learn whether it is right or wrong. They forget that all of what we do understand is

actually limited, we sometimes should need help from others to achieve the real goal of that work. Like

myself, if I'm not sure about the tasks of the documentation that I have been given, I prefer to ask my

employer or other employees. It is more time saving and make overall satisfaction respectively.

2) Never react to verbal abuse or harsh criticism with emotion

Sometimes I am careless and make a mistake in doing documentation tasks at ADV’s. But I know

how to control my emotions when I received any criticism from employers, clients or employees of ADV’s

itself. I do not want emotions make me weak. I have always optimistic and learn from mistakes so that it will

never recur again.

3) Keep my professional face on

Lastly, I am very concerned about my own professionalism at work. I do not like

to confuse my personal problems outside the office into the office when working. This should be

the main strategy on how I dealings with my stressed. I believe that if obey and acts in accordance


with instructions from my own superiors, I will be entrusted with whatever tasks assigned

to the ADV’s to me, see now, I have worked not only limited to tallies documentation only.

9.0 CONCLUSION

As for my conclusion, I would like to say that my internship program at ADV Commercial

Skill Sdn Bhd has given me a lot of experience in handling real work environment. I also had a

chance to apply some of my knowledge that I gain from my previous semester studies and also

learn some new technique and gained a new knowledge during my industrial training.

Fortunately, I able to differentiate the task and adapt to real work experience, and the work

that have been given to me, helps me to figure out all the things that I have not understood before

and my understanding in perform task are improve during this internship program. My first time

been assigned to the job, I already start to feel the challenge in the real working environment but

lucky me, I finally did complete all the task with guidance from my supervisor and all the staff. I

also learn how to use the other office equipment like photocopy machine, facsimile machine and I

also know how to handling a call and dealings with ADV’s clients. Other than that, I have also

exposed to the manual filing system and all procedures like open a new file; store a document in

file and sending document to ADV’s clients and others. I also get a chance to attend the real

meeting environment.


In addition, I feel that my confident levels are increase and I’m sure that I will be able to

work independently in the future. With all the things that I have been thru and earn, I know that it

will help me in the future. I’m so glad that I had a chance to challenge my self in the real work

environment.

10.0 RECOMMENDATION

Will I recommend other student to do their industrial training here? Yes absolutely. Why?

Because its expose to the real life working situation. A of lot works especially in filling records, and

you will receive a warm welcome from all the co-worker, supervisor and subordinates. A lot of

experience you will get here and learn so many things which u wont get it in the class or by

reading text book. I got only two (2) recommendations here, as for companies improvement, which

are:-

1. Their filling system need to be organized more efficient since they have a lot of

confidential information to be keep. Further more well maintenance in the filling

management will help their filling system going smooth. So that the entire document are

well protected and available went needed.

2. The office equipment such as computer need to be upgrade because it’s to slow to be

operates. Its takes a lot of time to finish one task due to the slow programmed system.
