On Thursday (10/10) the Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia  collaborated with PT Yamaha Indonesia in an industrial internship program. This collaboration began with a seminar that presented two main speakers, namely Muhammad Isnaini from the HRD Manager of PT Yamaha Indonesia and M. Syahfatahillah from the Production Engineering Manager of PT Yamaha Indonesia.

The seminar took place at the 3rd floor Auditorium of K.H. Mas Mansur Building and started at 13.30 WIB. Wahyudhi Sutrisno, S.T., M.M., M.T acted as the host, while Yuli Agusti Rochman, S.T., M.Eng. gave the opening remarks. In his speech, Yuli Agusti Rochman expressed his appreciation to Yamaha. “Congratulations for this afternoon’s study. Once again, we would like to thank Yamaha for attending this afternoon and sharing with all of us,” he said.

After the speech, Muhammad Isnaini opened the public lecture session. He explained his career journey which began in Japan until in 2021 he decided to return to Indonesia to join the HRD of PT Yamaha Indonesia. In his current position, Isnaini continues to learn to understand various aspects related to human resources and the rules of the internship program at PT Yamaha Indonesia.

Muhammad Isnaini also explained that the internship program at PT Yamaha Indonesia has been running for eight years and has now reached its 18th batch. This program was first initiated by the previous HRD manager, Pak Kausar. However, Isnaini admits that the internship duration of only three months is often not enough to provide adequate industrial experience and competence for students. In addition, the company also felt that short internships could disrupt industrial activities.

Therefore, through the MOU cooperation between UII and PT Yamaha Indonesia, the duration of the internship program was extended to six months. This extension is expected to provide more in-depth experience for students and reduce disruption to industrial activities. This internship program can also be converted into semester credit units (SKS), so that students not only gain industrial experience but can also fulfill academic requirements. In addition, Isnaini highlighted that the internship at PT Yamaha focuses not only on developing hard skills, such as technical understanding and industrial practices, but also on soft skills, including communication skills, teamwork, and leadership.

The seminar was closed with an interactive Q&A session, where students discussed further about the internship program and career opportunities at PT Yamaha Indonesia. The speakers answered various questions enthusiastically, providing comprehensive explanations and motivation for the participants. After the Q&A session, the event ended with a group photo between the speakers, lecturers, and students, creating a warm moment of togetherness to conclude the event.

On Monday (02/09), students of Industrial Engineering Study Program of Faculty of Industrial Technology (FIT) Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) attended the handover ceremony of internship students at PT Yamaha Indonesia office. This internship program is part of the cooperation between PT Yamaha Indonesia and the Industrial Engineering Study Program of FTI UII, which has long been established. Through this cooperation, students who pass the partnership internship selection can join the program. In the XIX batch, Industrial Engineering Study Program FTI UII sent seven students for internship.

The handover ceremony was accompanied by several lecturers of Industrial Engineering Study Program FTI UII, namely Wahyudhi Sutrisno, S.T., M.M., M.T., Ir. Muchamad Sugarindra, S.T., M.T.I., IPM, and Elanjati Worldailmi, S.T., M.Sc. In addition, Department Secretary Dr. Taufiq Immawan, S.T., M.M. was also present and gave a speech. In his speech, Dr. Taufiq conveyed a message for the students to remain enthusiastic and maximize their potential during their internship at PT Yamaha Indonesia. This message is in line with the expectations of Vice President of PT Yamaha Indonesia, Samsudin, who also emphasized the importance of maintaining enthusiasm and health during the internship program.

Meanwhile, Audiamara Vinka expressed her hope as one of the interns “I hope that by participating in the internship, I can open my eyes to how the world of work works and can make a good contribution to the company with my abilities” she said.

Completion of The XVIII Batch Internship Program

This handover also marks the completion of the XVIII batch internship program which has lasted for six months. This is at the same time to carry out the Awareness Program at the company. The students who have completed the internship are expected to be able to develop their skills based on the experience gained during this program. In addition, this partnership internship program is expected to support the industry’s need for competent workers in their fields.

Zahra Nasywari Firdantara, one of the internship students at PT Yamaha Indonesia, revealed that the internship at the company was very valuable because it provided a deep understanding of the application of industrial knowledge in the field. In the Production Engineering division, Zahra applied the concept of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to analyze inventory, lead time, line balancing, defect goods, study time, and work sampling in order to identify waste and increase productivity with the improvement method (kaizen). 

He added that the projects undertaken during the internship can also be used as material for Practical Work (KP) and Final Project (TA). “So, we don’t have to bother looking for data anymore because everything is in line with the internship project,” he added. “Internship at Yamaha is really worth it, because we understand more about industrial science. If in lectures we only know the material, here we can understand the material as well as its application in the field,” said Zahra. 

She also emphasized the importance of patience and communication to explain the concept and work together on repair projects. Her experience shows the importance of preparation, knowledge and interpersonal skills to maximize internship opportunities and develop yourself in the industry.
