Hi all! Our DCM group consists of jashawn, jing wen, kang cheng and gerald.
Jashawn,
The oldest among all of us, filled with many life experience. He is currently working at starhub, and he loves "freedom". A hardworking dude always full of ideas and craps. Good in marketing. He loves DCM more than starhub.
Jingwen,
The most "beng" among all of us, always act without thinking much. He always disturb classes and disrupt lessons. But he is very kind hearted, every weekened he will volunteer himself at the old folks home. He can't live without DCM.
Kangcheng,
The tallest among all of us, he always see things from the top. Organize and always do his tutorial. He is very helpful and loves to help people around him. He is also very influential. He loves DCM to death.
Gerald,
The shortest among all of us, he always see things from the bottom. He is small but carry a very big LV bag which is very cool. He is always joking around just like mickey mouse. He said DCM is the best subject he have ever studied.
DCM is known as Distribution Centre Management. It is the main control centre for the whole logistic operation as it involves the accepting of goods till the sending out of goods.
(Unloading goods from trucks -> storing of goods -> order-picking of goods -> marshalling of goods -> loading of goods to trucks for despatch)
It is like the basic of most of the companies. From what we know and understand, almost all company or job involves logistics. This shows that, having good fundamental or having a good basic is important to the further on work. In Chinese, there is a saying; having a good start is winning half of the battle, even before the battle start.
From the start of sem 2.2 till now, we find DCM handle-able. Although it has a lot of jargon and terms that we do not understand, but Mr Johnny Tan and our fellow classmates had explained it well to us through the Q&A session in vbus, the forum posting.
Furthermore, the field trip to ALB greatly increased our understanding about a warehouse as what we have is only imagination in our mind, but an actual trip to a warehouse clear a lot of doubts we have. Our conclusion about DCM is that it is an important part of a business and we will be the ones taking care of it in the near-future.
