2.2 HISTORY

The history of Bosch starts with many first steps. The step into independence, onto the
automotive market, into markets outside Germany, and onto the factory floor of major
manufacturing. “A shambles” – the beginnings of Robert Bosch history, his apprentice
and journeyman years awoke an early desire in Robert Bosch to be self- employed. On
15 November 1886, he opened a Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical
Engineering in western Stuttgart. The early years were beset with highs and lows, and
it was only from the mid-1890s on those things took off quickly and unstoppably.

The Bosch brand is synonymous with quality and innovation. The company
enhance quality of life in communities with products and services that are both
innovative and beneficial. From humble beginnings, the Bosch Group today is a
leading global supplier of technology and services. In Malaysia since 1923, Bosch is
currently active in the areas of Mobility Solutions, Industrial Technology, Consumer
Goods, and Energy and Building Technology. The company has three manufacturing
arms in Penang providing car multimedia systems, power tools and automotive
steering.

Robert Bosch Car Multimedia (CM) is a business division within the Mobility
Solutions business sector of the Bosch Group, which develops smart integration

 CHAPTER III
JOB SCOPE AND TASKS

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Chapter 3 explained the job scopes and tasks that have been assigned during industrial
training at Robert Bosch M Sdn Bhd. The task and projects that have been assigned
are mentioned in this chapter. During industrial training, the company supervisor has
assigned the trainee to do an e-sample. The trainee has only one project, which is an e-
sample.

3.2 E-SAMPLE

E-sample is a PCBA electronic sample that gives an example of component

placement and information for production and IPQC. It provides information such as
the polarity of the component, the BOM material number list, process, model name,
raw PCB number, etc. The information is written digitally in excel. There are four
parts of the e-sample which are product information, AOI image, polarity drawing,
and BOM material number list. All documents are compiled into one single PDF and
will be uploaded to the E-sample website.

13
 Figure 11 : E-sample Website

Figure 12 : E-sample website icon

14
3.3 PHYSICAL SAMPLE BOARD

A physical sample board is a PCBA physical sample that gives an example of

component placement and information for production and IPQC. It provides
information such as the polarity of the component, the material number of the
component, etc. However, product information such as part list number, model name,
raw PCB number, etc., will be appropriately written on the history card and attached
to the back of the sample board.

3.3.1 Limitations of physical sample board

Limitations of physical sample board are as follow:

1. Time consuming (it required 545 minutes to complete 1 sample board)

2. Not enough space to store all physical sample board
3. Potential damage of the physical sample board
4. High cost
5. Potential loss of physical sample board
6. Difficult to find the physical sample board in storage area
7. Long walking distance between storage area and production line
8. Not enough resources to cope huge numbers of sample board due to new
product introduction

It is shown that the physical sample board has more limitations compared to
the e-sample. It consumes much time to complete one sample board. Before this,
the production provides a physical sample board instead of an e-sample. Hence,
an e-sample has been introduced to replace the physical sample board.

15
3.4 TRAINEE TASK

The company supervisor has assigned a trainee to do the e-sample project. The
trainee needs to do the task of e-sample along the journey of industrial training at
Robert Bosch M Sdn Bhd. All the tasks have been assigned to give the trainee
opportunity to improve and develop more in many things, including skills and
communication.

3.4.1 E-sample making process

Along the journey of industrial training, a trainee has completed several

models of e-sample. The model contains AIVI Main, AIVI Switch, AIVI2
Main, AIVI2 Auxiliary Board, GMC4B Main, Suzuki Main and Switch, and
PIVI Main. All the models are different. AIVI main has many models. The
e-sample has four parts which are product information, AOI image, polarity
of drawing and part list number. Hence, all four files are compiled into one
single PDF before uploading it to the e-sample website. However, the trainee
cannot provide several examples of part because it is under private and
confidential of the company.

Figure 13 : E-sample making process

16
 Figure above shows the process of making an e-sample performed
by the trainee. Firstly, the trainee will have a consultation with a mentor
before starting to do the e-sample. Mentor will ask the trainee to do an e-
sample for which model then the trainee needs to identify whether the model
assigned has completed the e-sample. If the e-sample is not completed yet,
so the trainee can proceed to update her name in the Z folder before starting
to prepare the e-sample. It is to prevent other people do a similar model of
e-sample.

Before requesting the AOI image, the trainee compares different

models in the SAP system to identify whether the model can be shared. If
the model cannot be shared, the trainee needs to request an AOI image by
emailing the AOI technician. However, if the model can share with a model
that already has an AOI image, the trainee does not need to request an AOI
image. In that case, the next step is trainee must prepare the e- sample by
getting all necessary information from SAP. First, the trainee needs to get
the drawing from SAP to plot the polarity of the component. The trainee
must key in the raw PCB number of models to get the drawing. Then, the
trainee must plot the polarity of the component based on the AOI image
provided. In the drawing, the trainee must label the color of the connectors.
Then, the trainee uses print show from the SAP system to identify the color
of connectors. Finally, a trainee must key in a part list the number of models
to check the color of the connector based on the correct location. If the
trainee does not receive the AOI image yet, the trainee proceeds to plot the
polarity of the component based on the part list number of materials.

Besides that, the trainee proceeds to prepare product information

using excel. The product information is digitally written in excel. It contains
the model’s name, raw PCB number, part list number, and a total of
components and processes. Trainee gets all the information required from
the SAP system. Next, the trainee exports BOM, which includes a material
number and its installation point. DECOM2 from SAP is used to

17
 download the BOM and export it to a spreadsheet.

Lastly, the trainee compiled everything in one PDF and named the
file. The trainee must name the file with the correct model and part. The
trainee must have a password for restricted editing and a secured PDF to
avoid another person making changes to the e-sample that has been
completed. The trainee shares the password with the mentor. After
everything is done and satisfied, the trainee transfers the file to the e-
sample done folder before the mentor uploads it to the e-sample website.

3.4.2 Example of polarity drawing

The polarity of every location in the drawing is very important. The trainee must
identify every polarity of the component to avoid any mistakes. The trainee
needs to compare the AOI image provided and the component's location in the
drawing. If the component inserted has polarity, so trainee must plot the polarity
at the correct location of the component in the drawing.

21
3.4.3 Updated ECN changes

Some models have ECN changes, so the trainee needs to update edition 02
for those models. Besides preparing and completing the e-sample, the trainee
must make ECN changes based on the task given by the mentor.

Figure 20 : Step update ECN

The figure above shows several steps for a trainee to update the ECN
changes. Firstly, if any ECN changes need to be updated, a trainee will have
a consultation with the mentor. Mentor gives an excellent explanation to the
trainee and asks the trainee to update the ECN changes for a certain model.
Next, the trainee proceeds to check in the Z folder whether the model has
completed the e-sample or not. If the e-sample has been completed, the
trainee needs to update edition 02.

22
 Then, the trainee must check the body marking from the SAP system.
Trainee uses print show and part list number of a model to check the location
in the SAP system. Trainee identifies the correct body marking based on raw
IC of the location then it required to make a comparison between the right
body marking and the body marking at location component in AOI image.
If the body marking of the AOI image is wrong, so trainee must alter the
body marking by pasting the correct body marking of the location using PDF
format.

Basically, the ECN changes occur at both sides, top and bottom.
However, if the model has not completed the e-sample yet, the trainee does
not need to update edition 02. However, the trainee still needs to check the
new correct body marking of the model. If the body marking is wrong, so
trainee must alter the body marking and complete the e-sample without
updating edition 02.

 CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 CONCLUSION

After undergoing 18 weeks of industrial training at Robert Bosch Malaysia Sdn Bhd,
some knowledge and skills can be implemented in the trainee's future career. First, it
exposes the actual working life as an employee in the company. It also exposes the
trainee to a new lifestyle and environment. Finally, it develops trainees' skills in
communication, personal, solving, and handling issues.

Industrial training gives various new technical knowledge never studied during
university. For example, the trainee can explore various machines in the production
department. The machine is different from the machine provided in the university’s
workshop. The trainee can see how the machine operates and how the operators,
technicians, supervisors, and others do their work. The trainee can communicate with
the operator from other races and nationalities because there are many operators from
Indonesia, India, and Myanmar. The trainee also can improve communication skills
because the English language is practiced when talking to the supervisor and head
department. The mentor and supervisor are very supportive and guide the trainee
during the industrial training period. The supervisor consistently checks up on the
trainee, and the mentor gives clear explanations during consultation. The company of
Robert Bosch Malaysia Sdn Bhd has exposed the trainee to the picture of real-life
situations such as the task and responsibility must be carried out honestly by an
employee in the company. The trainee has gained new experience, knowledge, and
skill during the industrial training, making the trainee a better person in the future.

Finally, yet importantly, industrial training is very important for a student in all
study majors. It is clearly shown many benefits can be gained from industrial training. It
enhances students’ soft and hard skills; hence it helps every student during working life
soon. Every student must take the opportunities to increase personal value because,
25
during industrial training, the student can adapt to the employee’s situation. So, it will not
be a problem when students enter a working life soon because they already have the
experience before. In addition, industrial training can produce good fresh graduates in
high demand in this industry. Industrial training is a good first step for the trainee to create
and find ability. It is also a first step for the trainee to adapt to working life before
starting to work in the company after graduating.

4.2 RECOMMENDATION

The industrial training program improves students' awareness of single technology. The
learners can obtain hands-on experience and know the real job scenario. It cultivates the
students' leadership ability. It gives them the responsibility to execute and perform the
given task. It helps in increasing self-confidence and identifying their proficiency. The
trainee hopes this program will be prolonged for the next generation to get this
opportunity to improve lifestyles and technical skills.

During 18 weeks of industrial training, there are certain things that need to be
improved by student, company, and university to make this industrial training period
give maximum impact to a student in the future. Among the improvement needed to
take action are:

1. A company needs to provide briefing session with students during early

industrial training. Students lack knowledge of project or tasks. So, it is
required for a company to provide class between student and supervisor
for the supervisor can brief and teach the student clearly regarding the
task. So, it helps student to do their task well and organized during the
industrial training period.

2. University must train student as a first step before the student goes to
the industrial training. Data analysis is very important in the industry.
Skill of Microsoft Excel is very important because all tasks and works
26
 are done by Microsoft Excel. However, there are still many students
still lack knowledge and skills of Microsoft Excel. So, it is important
for university to do workshop or training on learning Microsoft Excel
for the students.

3. Students must willingly to learn and always be flexible during industrial

training period. Do not depend on other people but always be a person
who asks first. Students must be ready with new way of thinking. The
task must be prepared early and always learn from mistakes. Do very
best to adapt to a new environment because by learning, students will
be easy to adapt to new environment and surrounding.
