Rajasthan cooperative dairy federation ltd (saras)

Summer Trainee

Jun 2017Jul 2017 · 1 mo · Jodhpur Area, India

  • The purpose of this training/internship was to help implement the Quality Control techniques commonly used in IE by first performing a case study on the existing processes related to dairy products like Butter, Ghee (Clarified butter), Skimmed Milk, Shrikhand (Indian Yoghurt sweet) and Paneer (Cottage cheese).
  • The processing and production of each of the dairy items was closely observed and all the processing parameters were noted and correlated to the desired level of quality in terms of SNF(Solids not fat) , fat, acidity and moisture.
  • Control Charts (quality characteristic vs date) were plotted and an attempt to interpret them on the basis of process flow of various products was made. A report would be prepared and submitted to the Managing Director outlining the benefits of process monitoring; with the hope that it will have a positive impact in an industry which is vital yet unaware with the modern engineering concepts.
  • Apart from this, the training involved reasonable exposure to RAC, Boilers, ETP(Effluent treatment Plant) and Procurement Procedure and Strategies.
  • The entire study was done under the guidance of Prof. Milind Kumar Sharma, ( Professor, Production and Industrial Engineering, MBM Engineering College, Jodhpur).
