Cosasco designs and manufactures corrosion monitoring systems and equipment for a variety of industries, making it the world leader in corrosion monitoring technology. My fourth and final placement on the Halma Graduate Development Program involved managing the sales and marketing strategy for Cosasco's Environmental Condition Monitor (ECM), and developing specifications for the new ECM by evaluating market requirements and company capabilities.

The Development Programme involves project-based work in several of Halma's operating companies over a two year period. A great deal of variety is realised on account of the different sectors and locations of Halma's subsidiaries, as well as the types of projects undertaken: product development, production management, and commercial projects.

BEA Sensors design and manufacture motion sensors, presence sensors, and safety sensors for a wide range of applications. I spent my third rotation on the Halma Graduate Development Program in the BEA Asia Office, based in Beijing.My primary responsibility was to produce a five-year strategy for BEA Asia's largest market by revenue - Pedestrian Sensing Solutions. I also led a team of three in forming a methodology for producing strategies for BEA's other markets. In addition, I worked closely with two other Halma Graduates and BEA Asia's Managing Director to perform a scenario analysis of future company relocation options.

Witham, Uk

Smith Flow Control is a subsidiary of Halma plc that specialise in Mechanical Valve Control Equipment and Valve Management Systems. For my first job rotation on the Halma Graduate Development Program, I was responsible for redesigning SFC's highest-selling Valve Interlock. After identifying constraints on the design that ensured the successful operation of the interlock and good fit between all components, I collaborated with our primary supplier of cast components in China to establish a new set of designs. These changes achieved a significant reduction in cost and eliminated assembly issues that were arising due to poor fit between the cast components.

Congleton, Uk

A four-week project completed in a team of four in which the need and potential for the introduction of automation to production and assembly operations at Siemens Congleton was evaluated.Assessed and selected processes that would benefit from robotic and automated solutions.Recorded this decision making process such that Siemens could continue to identify opportunities for the introduction of automation.Designed a virtual production cell using two different kinematic modelling software packages and evaluated how these tools could assist when selecting and implementing automated solutions.

Solihull, Uk

A two-week project completed in a team of two in which balancing of a new assembly line was investigated. The production rate at that time was limited by relatively frequent breakdowns at a particular assembly station. This issue was already in the process of being rectified by Jaguar Land Rover.It was found that this problem was masking the issue of assembly lines upstream not operating at a rate that would match the other areas in this assembly facility. We delivered a report and a presentation outlining the causes of this imbalance and suggestions for improvement.
