Week 6, Thursday

Today Mona told me that they will applied my suggestion which is appalling Microsoft Office Visio which will help them in creating direction map, calendar, flow chart, organization chart and timeline. The IT coordinator was downloading the software for each employee’s computer. Mona asked me to tech Iman the Administrative Assistant the basics in Visio before I leave and I strongly agreed to have this opportunity =)
Also, Mona asked me to give them all files that I worked on with Visio because they want to use if they have any changing because now they are applying Microsoft Office Visio. I felt happy that I did something great in the institution.
I went to Mona talking with her about my mentor Mr. Tridib visit to the institution for next weeks and I want to make an appointment with her according to the available timings for my mentor displaying in the his calendar. She said it will be fine to meet her on Wednesday, 19 May, 2010 at 11:00 am then I booked in his calendar informing him about the meeting date and day.
Waiting for you Mr. Tridib :)

Week 6, Wednesday


Today I worked on Mona task which is designing flow charts in Microsoft Office Visio. She gave to designing all Purchasing Methods used at EIAST which are Petty Cash Purchases, Purchasing by requesting suppliers Quotes (RPQ), Purchasing by Request of Proposals (RFP), Direct Purchase Order (DPO) and Corporate Purchasing Card. It took from me a lot of time because I have I read all steps foe each procedure carefully and summarize it then start creating the flow chart after I finished each one I showed it to Mona for checking. She thanked me for this great job because I am working with Visio which they don’t have.

Today morning I started working on what we discussed with Mona yesterday. I drew the flow chart for “Step for Petty Cash Purchase Reimbursement Procedures”. Mona came to me and made some changing. After that I finished it and I went to show it to Mona but she was in the training session for the new system. I was waiting for her but Iman said that Mona will be late more than three hours so I took a tour between the departments and noticed the nature of their work and take ideas about the exact work activities that departments works on in this institution.
At 1:00 pm i conducted the second face-to-face interview with Eng.Adnan Mohammed AlRais an Associate Researcher and Team Leader in Space Program. The interview was great and he responsive with me. When I completed the interview then I got his business card.

Week 6, Monday

Today I received the faxes from UAE University and Sharjeh University according to my fax that I send then I gave it Mona who thanked me. Maryam gave me to reorganize the file of “Training courses” for the employee in order to courses they provide for the employee. Some courses they provide for different department Fundamental of Purchase, Course New Horizons, SQL 2008 Boot Camp and Oracle Database 11g.
Also, I worked with Mariam the Accountant with payment voucher first I was noticed how she work then I started helping her, after that she left me work alone. I was searching the number of PV between files then scan the invoice.
Moreover, ma and Mona discussed the “Step for Petty Cash Purchase Reimbursement Procedures” and she asked me to draw a flow chart for the steps because I have the Microsoft Office Visio and the computers at institution don’t apply this software. I suggest to them to apply this useful software which will help them in many things such as creating organization chart, flow chart and location map.
