UPNVJ Public Relations - The Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ), held an online meeting via Zoom with PT Rusli Vinilon Sakti to explore strategic collaboration. This activity is the first step in strengthening the link-and-match between academia and the national manufacturing industry, particularly in the areas of production systems, operations management, and supply chain efficiency.

The meeting was attended by the Coordinator of the Industrial Engineering Study Program, FT UPNVJ, Ir. Nur Fajriah, ST, MT, accompanied by Dr. Alina Cynthia Dewi, S.Si., MT and the Deputy Dean for Student Affairs, Alumni, and Cooperation Dr. Nanang Alamsyah, ST, MT. From the company side, the discussion was attended by the Recruitment Officer of PT Rusli Vinilon Sakti.

Several collaboration opportunities discussed included Field Work Practices (PKL), independent student internships, joint research, community service, and the presence of industry practitioners as guest lecturers. This collaboration is expected to provide mutual benefits: students gain hands-on experience, while industry receives support for applied research from academics.

PT Rusli Vinilon Sakti, a PVC and PE piping systems manufacturing company founded in the 1970s under the Vinilon brand, has extensive production facilities and a national distribution network. Its extensive experience in manufacturing systems management is highly relevant to the Industrial Engineering curriculum.
Ir. Nur Fajriah, ST, MT, stated, "The collaboration with PT Rusli Vinilon Sakti is highly relevant for developing student competencies in production systems and operations management. We hope students will gain real-world industry experience while also encouraging faculty to develop impactful research and community service."
