So this week has been mostly spent finishing up a number of my projects. I've been writing reports, guides, proposals, and learning how operations work around the plant so that I can integrate the new practices I'm proposing. Its been a fun time meeting different people around the plant and learning how the company tracks how well the plant is operating. In our afternoons we've still been going to he pub after work for free beers and Nozomi and Rudy have made some friends to play pool with most days. Since Im not a big pool player I've been talking with different people while they play and we've met some really fun people. This week has been a fun little wrap up of all of my different projects, and was supposed to be the last week we spent at the Rosslyn Plant, but after reaching out to various people involved with our program we managed to get an additional week here. We thought that getting another week getting experience at the plant would be better than a week i...
This was our last week at the Rosslyn Plant so I spent most of the week working on wrapping up my different projects and preparing to present on my work next week. I got to train operators at the plant to work on with a calculator I made, which was really cool because now I know that one of the projects I worked on will definitely make a lasting difference at the plant. This Saturday we took a suggestion from Rob at the Bentley Lodge and hired a driver to take us up to Bela Bela. We went zip-lining across a gorge, toured a croc farm where we got to eat croc burgers, and then went around a monkey sanctuary. It was all really fun to do, and a great last day in the area. Nozomi and Rudy had never been zip-lining before so it was a fun new experience for them, and I enjoyed it too, though it wasn't my first time. The croc farm had a lot of both baby and giant adult crocs, including a 700 kg, 42 year old one that was massive. We learned that because of the low temperature the crocs don...
This week we moved to the Rosslyn plant in Pretoria. So last Sunday Nozomi and I got driven over to our new place to stay, Utopia Guesthouse. Its been really great, the breakfast is delicious and we get vouchers for dinner every day at a restaurant next door. The people here are really great and have been very accommodating. My bedroom at Utopia Guesthouse This week I met the group of people Im working with at the brewery. My main contact, Myron is in charge of the engine room at the brewery which is where Ill be working, Nozomi's host Monique works with CIPs in Brewing and gave us a tour of the brew houses in the plant, giving us a brief overview of the brewing process from the collection of the raw materials all the way through shipping the beer off to the packaging department. Then Terrance, another employee we're working with, gave us the run down of Inbev's management strategy and then gave us a step by step walk through of the packaging process, showing us e...
