It’s hard to believe that a month has already passed since I began my co-op journey at FGF Brands. Looking back, the experience has been nothing short of remarkable. From day one, I’ve been welcomed into an incredibly warm and dynamic company culture that fosters both innovation and personal growth.

One of the standout aspects of FGF Brands is the collaborative nature of the work environment. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with different departments: production, maintenance, quality, and even senior leadership. One highlight was interacting with the VP of Operations, Operations & Operational Excellence Masoud Niknam, Ph.D., PMP, LSSBB, such a humble and welcoming leader.

In my role, I’ve been deeply involved in analyzing production processes to identify areas where we can enhance efficiency and reduce waste. Whether it’s tweaking a small part of the process or implementing larger-scale changes, each study so far has given me a chance to apply and learn more about lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles in real-world settings.

No two days are the same, and that’s what keeps things exciting! Every challenge presents an opportunity to think outside the box and innovate. Huge thanks to Muhammad Bilal Zahid , Vishal Dhawan , M.Eng ,LSSGB and Mohammad Zain Khan, LSSGB for giving me the room to make mistakes and learn from them.
Key Takeaways So Far:
1. Continuous Improvement Is Ongoing- It’s all about the incremental changes that create significant impact over time. The process never ends, and that’s what makes it so valuable.
2. Collaboration Is Key- Having a supportive team with different perspectives and expertise helps uncover solutions that might otherwise go unnoticed.
3. Details Matter- Every small improvement contributes to the bigger picture, from reducing waste to enhancing productivity and sustainability.

The past month has been filled with learning and growth, and I’m excited to continue this journey. The opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects and be part of a company that values improvement and innovation is something I’m truly grateful for. I’m eager to see what the next few months will bring and how I can continue contributing to FGF’s success while building my skills and knowledge in continuous improvement.
