The Department of Business Administration of East West University recently arranged a study tour as part of the Strategic Management (MGT 480) course. A total of 214 students visited the Fresh Edible Oil Manufacturing Plant which is the sister concern of Meghna Group of Industries (MGI), located in Narayngang - one of the largest and most modern factories in Bangladesh on August 24 and 26, 2023. The tour of the Fresh Edible Oil Manufacturing Plant enabled the students to see the industrial activities and management of a large workforce working at different segments of factories. They were accompanied by 16 faculty members of the department.

The students were warmly welcomed and briefed about the Fresh Edible Oil Manufacturing Plant by the company management and officials through an introductory session followed by a physical visit to the different production facilities at the plant, such as the bottle producing units; various production units including 1ltr, 2ltr, 5ltr; the pouring unit; the assembly units; the packaging and leveling units, etc. Through this visit, students have been able to get practical experience with different types of production systems, namely automated and semi-automated mass production systems, assembly lines, automated packaging, etc. The students have shown their inquisitiveness and enthusiasm by participating actively and making different queries. The officials, unit managers, and engineers of the plant were eager and meticulous in answering all the questions of our students. The faculty members enjoyed the tour and helped the students understand things to create a congenial learning environment with real-life illustrations. As such, this tour provided the students with a perfect reality check along with exposure to current work practices in modern manufacturing establishments like the Fresh Edible Oil Manufacturing Plants as opposed to the theoretical knowledge being taught in their classrooms.
