Industrial training report: LY Furniture Sdn. Bhd

The six-month internship at LY Furniture Sdn. Bhd. granted me essential professional exposure to the Purchasing and Procurement Department. I worked in two departments of LY Furniture Sdn. Bhd. during the period from August 12, 2024 until January 24, 2025. The first assignment took me to the Import Division where I worked from August to October and then 1 moved to the Purchasing Division from November through January. As part of my responsibilities I processed invoices and applied for C3 customs exemptions while managing shipment documents and checking carton markings before preparing purchase requisition forms. I received direct practical experience in administrative work and procurement activities at a major manufacturing firm under the direction of Madam Chan Ling Ling. The wooden furniture manufacturer LY Furniture Sdn. Bhd. holds ISO 45001:2018 certification to prioritize safety measures for their workplace as well as sustainable practices. The company has strong performance in waste management, recycling and sustainable sourcing yet they encounter difficulties because of insufficient staff amenities and manual administrative work and restricted intern access to facilities. The company's SWOT analysis showed its excellent resource efficiency together with market opportunities as well as its weaknesses regarding digitalization and infrastructure development. The company should use digital tools for Document Management Systems (DMS) and improve parking facilities and intern access to boost work efficiency. The company must implement automatic administration systems in addition to building robust supplier relations and using IoT to develop sustainable manufacturing practices. The internship proved to be transformative because it gave me essential skills in procurement along with communication abilities and problem-solving competencies. By observing actual business practices combined with organizational problem analysis I gained a better understanding of corporate sustainability practices and efficiency alongside strategic decision-making. The experience at LY Furniture enriched my understanding while it revealed improvement opportunities which benefit the company together with my business administration career path.
