Graduate / personal statement describing my future career plans [3]

I was grown up with a family in which business and production have played an important role. My father has been teaching me different manufacturing methods through taking me to many plants and factories of his friends in my childhood.

Besides, he has always emphasized on the abilities of human resource management - the one he was doing all the time - and this was the issue that has occupied my mind during my adolescence that how I can aquire many people with different skills and create value with the management of their workforce. It was the main motivation for me try to improve my ability to develop my own business through continuing my education at university.

With my pre-studies over different fields, I came to the result that Industrial Engineering covering main courses like Project control and management, Engineering Economy, Production and Inventory Planning and Control and Production Methods, would be completely matching my enthusiasm.

During the last year of my study, I have been working part time in my father's plant doing foreign commercial affairs. As I was closely connected with the production line, I recognized many gaps, lacks and requirements in my father's business. For example, why he was importing some materials from other countries as row material while we were able to install the production equipments in our plant and prevent many problems and costs of importing goods?

Taking advantage of my information in feasibility study and project management, along with other engineers and managers in the company, I studied the possibility of producing the row materials, in house. The result was developing new equipment which not only supplied our plant, but also made profit supplying other local companies.

With these experiences and thinking about my future job, I find it crucial to take my Industrial Engineering abilities and merge it with a specialized management field to be able to find the best way to develop my own business and increase my market share based on techniques and tactics our business market demands for.
