HireSetu's note
One stream, and a mechanical degree
Eaton asks for a BE or diploma in Mechanical for a supply chain role, and that detail shapes the work. You'll handle part numbers, BOMs and engineering data that a commerce graduate would find hard going, then move it through purchasing and planning processes. You join one stream, Purchasing or SIOP, working behind operational buyers and planners: their decisions, your data and follow-ups. Ask which stream you'd be placed in, since the two build different skills.
The layer below the buyers
Supply chain at a manufacturer sounds like sourcing and supplier negotiations. This seat is the layer below: keeping records clean, raising and tracking documents in SAP, MFG Pro or Oracle, chasing invoice mismatches, pulling reports. The buyers you support own the commercial calls. If you picture supplier meetings in your first year, adjust that picture now. The volume is steady and accuracy matters, because a wrong quantity or vendor code travels into someone else's payment.
SAP vocabulary worth having
Learn one purchase end to end: requisition, purchase order, goods receipt, invoice, and what a mismatch does to payment. Master data deserves the same attention, since a wrong vendor or material field breaks reports downstream. For SIOP, get demand, supply and inventory plans straight, and know how a forecast differs from a plan. Excel at pivot table and lookup level is the practical minimum. Communication is on their list, and in practice it means writing a clear message when a document is stuck with someone.
Where this goes next
Apprenticeships run for a fixed term, so ask about the length and what happens at the end of it. The skills travel: Pune's manufacturing plants keep hiring for SAP purchasing, materials planning and procurement operations, and a year of this is a real entry point into demand and supply planning. Which door opens widest depends on the stream you're in.
