This report presents the experience gained during an industrial internship at Škoda Transportation a.s, located in Plzeň, Czech Republic, as part of the On Job Training (OJT) course in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politeknik Negeri Jakarta. The internship aimed to provide practical insights into the assembly process of the Škoda Tram Bonn, covering the stages of design, production, and distribution. During the internship, the author was directly involved in the installation of key components such as insulation, HVAC systems, automatic doors, exterior body covers, and tram interior elements. Each stage was carried out through observation and active participation to understand industrial work methods, production standards, and quality management systems applied in the company. One of the main challenges encountered was a dimensional mismatch of the frame during the installation of the engine door, which was successfully resolved through rechecking and on-site adjustments. The results of this activity emphasize the importance of precision, accuracy, and team coordination in ensuring the final product’s quality. This internship has provided valuable hands-on experience in modern manufacturing processes and significantly enhanced the author's technical skills, teamwork, communication, and adaptability within an international work environment.
