Industrial training report: Perodua Sales Sdn. Bhd. / Mohamad Khairullah Rosli

My experience throughout my six months of industrial training here at Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd was both memorable and fascinating. This internship report describes my internship with Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd, which began on 29th August 2022 and ended on 10th February 2023. Perodua was establish in 1993 and is the second largest automotive maker in Malaysia. Located in Sungai Choh, Rawang, Perodua is the outcome of a partnership between Malaysian corporations and Daihatsu Motor Company of Japan. During sixth months of my employment, I have been allocated to the purchasing operations department. Under the guidance of general purchasing team here, I learned how to request quotation from suppliers, handling tendering process, preparing Purchase Order and many more. This helping me to improve my multitasking, teamwork, as well as my communication and negotiation skills. In addition, Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd have their own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The atmosphere of the workplace and the process management are identified to be their strength as it will give Perodua competitive advantages over their competitors. Furthermore, the lack of research & development, as well as over dependence of domestic market will prevent Perodua from realising their full potential and they must improve to maintain their market position. Perodua also have a lot of opportunities to grow even further, and it will be in the form of market potential and advance technology from Japan. However, they must face the competitions from other automotive maker and the rise of environmental issues that will posing a risk to the operations of Perodua. Because of the high level of harmony in company, it will boost the morale of Perodua’s worker, thus increasing the market value of Perodua’s products. Besides, it is recommended that Perodua seek guidance from their Japanese partner who holds the advancement of technology for future innovation. Additionally, with the right process management, it will minimising the negative effects of the automobiles have on the environment and End-of-Life Vehicles policy will make it possible, together with development of green vehicle. Lastly, Perodua might consider developing their brands more on developing countries to overcome their over dependence on domestic market. During my time receiving industrial training from this organisation, I was able to absorb and use a vast amount of pertinent knowledge while accomplishing the several duties I was given. In addition, I have gained expertise in communicating with interested parties; as a result, I am able to comprehend the real working environment and the frequent difficulties that arise.
