Excellent learning curve,had a chance to be woking in different projects and projections

Transnet engineering was the first platform where i got to explore different work areas in a daily bases. The team work was the best by far, with reference to the several projects we worked on as a team, incuding the green belt project that was a great success and a learning platform for the team as we yielded savings in it. I hav learnt team working, project management, process improvement, how to properly manage a project through applying and involving all the customers voice, the companies standards and techniques like continuous improvement. The most enjoyable moment was going to meeting every morning, knowing we are going to discuss all our targets for the day and what down falls we had yestrday and what could be done. The challenging aspect of any job is when you try to implement change in a process.

Pros: wonderful opportunity for promotion and advancing in career
Cons: implementing change at first sight

I LOVE MY JOB. THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT OR ORGANISATION IS CORE OF ANY BUSINESS

BUSY EVERY DAY. WORKING WITH PEOPLE MAKES ME HAPPY. I FEEL FULLFILLED BEING ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I LEARNT THAT BEING HUMBLE MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. CHALLENGES MAKES ME TICK. GETTING THROUGH OVER 2000 TIME SHEETS IN A MONTH :)

Pros: THE VAST INDUSTRY AND THE SATISFIED FEELING AT THE END OF A MONTH
Cons: TOO MUCH PAPER WORK. A PAPERLESS SYSTEM IS YET TO BE INTRODUCED.

Be an asset to the business, as i'm flexible, reliable and very intelligent.

My work can be hectic sometimes as I have to work on expcetions and give report on material shortage list everyday, I have a strong relationship with my co-workers as sometimes my life depends on them as I'm Disabled. Being at Transnet for 14 years was a learning curve as I have learnt to embrace my challenges, to use my natural and learnt talents to define myself, to measure my abilities and know my limits. In the process I have learnt not to be confined by other people’s definition of my potential and circumstances. But the greatest lesson I have come to learn during this period is that when people of a similar circumstance come together they can shape and build One Mission. I enjoy my work being accurate, the most challenging of it is when I don't reach my targets and making sales.

Pros: As i work hard and want to achieve in any situation, promotion wish to be granted as i will improve the public profile
Cons: With my Disability I don't mind working long hours as long as targets are met

Excellent learning curve

walk the production line understanding if there are any issues within the line, checking if daily deliveries are on track. Check Stores for housekeeping and all controls in place. Check system at Sales progress and material availability for the week. Analyze the Income Statement on a daily basis to check expense are not exceeded. Run Reports - Do Stock analysis and check planning aligned and sales forecasting Engaged daily with production manager and supervisors and daily with Buyer. I have built good relationship with external customers to ensure we align the targets and deliveries. The most difficult aspect of the job is to ensure that material is readily available for production as majority of suppliers are from the States and at the same time to push production to meet deliveries to ensure customer is satisfied.

Pros: Gain experience in various fields
Cons: Work long hours

Training

I got good training as an electrical fitter, did basic electronic circuits, motors and used testers like multimeter and merger. Interacted with training officers and artisans. It is a very intimate company you get to know everyone you work with at a personal level. Challenges are the timelines in the training schedule. Enjoy learning more about the electrical locomotive.

Pros: Good place to train, employees are friendly and easy to work with
Cons: doing the same jobs every day with no promise of being employed permanently after completion of training
