PREFACE
Punjab, the bread basket of India, the land of 50376 sq.km is
situated in Northern part of India. It is agriculturally Indias most
advanced and most prosperous state. Till late 60`s agriculture was
done with old crude methods. To industrialize the agricultural sector,
Punjab Tractors Limited was promoted by PSIDC as one of its
projects in 1970 for manufacturing of agricultural tractors with
indigenous know how. Since, this gave independence to country
from import of tractors, so the brand name SWARAJ, total
independence was given.

Swaraj tractors conceived in 1965 by a tem of dedicated


engineers and scientists working at Central Mechanical Research
Institute, Durgapur with a firm belief
that Indian Technology could be brought at par with the best
in the world. The first model developed was Swaraj-724 developed
over a period of 5 years. Independent commercial production started
in the year 1974 and after this company grew by leaps and bounds.
Today it is one of the leading tractor manufacturing companies.
In the month of July,2003 the 23% stake held by the PSIDC
has been disinvested to COMMONWEALTH DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION, a UK based firm.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD SWARAJ


In Hindi, the word SWARAJ means Freedom from Bondage. Since P.T.L.
was the only first largest tractor project in India, moreover fully based upon Indian
technology. So SWARAJ was appropriately chosen as its brand name. SWARAJ
GROUP sells its product under this brand name.

POSITION OF SWARAJ PRODUCTS IN MARKET

With more than 2 lacs of tractors & harvester combines operating in Indian farms,
SWARAJ are now a well-established brand name in country. SWARAJ is now an
internationally recognized name in the developing world.
The products of SWARAJ are not only restricted to Indian market but they had
entered in international market. SWARAJ tractors find an important place in developing
countries like Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia, Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, Indonesia & Malaysia,
etc. they are also sending their combines to South Korea having first A.C. cabin combine
in India. Long way back, they had also transported the machined rims to Japan, a project
millions of dollars.

SWARAJ HISTORY
The Indian Tractor Industries, as it is now, is a major segment of its engineering industry.
However till 1974, Indian firms assembling semi knocked down (SKD) kits in
collaboration with foreign manufactures met the tractor requirements of the country
largely through imports & partly. Though the first Tractor Company was set up in India in
1960, but the growth in real terms started from 1974, when the government banned the
import of tractors. Today India is the largest tractor producing and consuming country. In
an effort to reduce imports & develop indigenous technology, the government, permitted
setting up of the major manufacturing companies.

PTLS BIRTH
Keeping in mind Punjab agrarian economy it was decided by Punjab Govt. to
encourage the growth of industries which complements Punjabs agricultural growth.
This task was entrusted to P.S.I.D.C. that was played a major role in bringing Punjab to
threshold of industrial revolution. With the dual objective of industrial & agricultural
growth, P.T.L. was established on 27th June 1974.

LOCATION
The factory is located at S.A.S. Nagar, the important industrial town of Punjab, 5
kms. from Chandigarh. This factory was among the first to be set up in this industrial
town. The company is managed by board of Directors, while the day to day operations
are managed by Vice Chairman & M.D. of the company.

GROWTH OF PTL

PUNJAB TRACTOR LIMITED started with an annual capacity of five thousand


tractors & with a capital of Rs. 3.7 crores. It went into commercial production in the year
1974; its first production was 26.6 BHP tractors given the name SWARAJ-720. Ever
since then P.T.L. has not looked back. In the first twenty years of existence its capacity
has been increased to 24,000 per annum, which is a considerable achievement by any
standards. Besides tractors, it has added a host of other products to its range, which
includes:

Harvesting Combine.

Automotive casting.

Punjab Tractors Ltd (PTL) is one of the leading manufacturers of tractors in India.
PTL has been known as the industry out performer since inception. Even when the
industry grew at a CAGR of 6.1% during 1991-2000, PTL grew at the CAGR of 11.9%.
In terms of market share, PTL is the second largest player after M & M in FY2001 with a
market share of 18.1%. PTL tractors are sold under the Swaraj brand name. PTL has
strong market share of around 20% in the northern region with the highest share in
Punjab and Haryana and 16% in the western regions and southern regions of India. In the
east the company accounts for 11% market share. The tractor sales accounted for 83.3%
of PTL's turnover in FY2001 whereas the harvester-combines, forklifts and spare parts
accounted for the balance. Industry basics The Indian tractor market is dominated by
low price, rugged, versatile and low to medium powered tractors; the main reason being
the inability of farmers to invest in farm mechanization. Tractors are categorized on the
basis of horse power (HP) of the engine. In India, the popular range of tractors is 20-40
HP compared to 60 HP in Europe and 90 HP in the USA. Though large tractors were
economically unviable in India, there has been an increasing demand for high-powered
tractors due to soil conditions, particularly in states of MP, Gujarat and Maharashtra. But
more recently, higher-powered tractors are also being sold in states like Punjab where it is
considered as a status symbol. Tractors available in India are 1/4th of the prices of similar
powered tractors internationally or in developed countries. Availability of credit is the
most crucial factor impacting tractor demand, as in India 90% of the tractors are financed
by bank credit at concessional rates. Increased use of irrigation facilities, shift towards
multi-cropping, consolidation of lands holdings, promotion of co-operatives and higher
investment in agriculture also contributes to higher tractor demand. The tractor segment
comprises players like Eicher, Escorts, HMT, Punjab Tractors, M&M, TAFE, Sonalika,
which control about 98% market share. India is the worlds largest market in tractors
since 1996. A few international players like Case New Holland, John Deere and Steyr
have also set up facilities in India. But these players have entered the higher-powered
category and, thus, pose little threat to the existing players who enjoy advantages of
established distribution/service network and strong brand equity. Punjab Tractors is
promoted mainly by Punjab State Industrial Development Corporation Limited and has
acquired the second highest market share in the tractor segment from 9.1% in 1975. In
1970, PTL had major competition from other companies like Eicher, Tractors and Farm
Equipment (TAFE), Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), Escorts and HMT. PTL is one of the
leaders in its business and has put up a heady performance in contrast to other private
sector players. As against other players, which report a ROCE of 15% on an average,
12

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED


PTL has consistently remained at about 50% in the last few years though the industry is
capital-intensive. Punjab Tractor is the only major tractor company, which entered this
business without any foreign collaboration. The company has beefed up its R&D
capabilities in the last two to three years. PTLs Swaraj-735 is in a class of its own and
has been benchmarked by its competitors to which 16 new features have been added. PTL
has single mindedly focused on increasing its market share in tractors. Current
Scenario During the first half of 2001-02 PTL increased its market share from 18.5% to
21.4%. With the total industry volumes plummeting by 16.6% the sales of PTL fell only a
trifle 3.1%. Under these circumstances, though the revenue has fallen by a 0.38% the
operating profitability has risen by 1.03%. PTL garnered the operating margins of 19.4%
in the first half of FY2001-02, while the lead players like M&M Escorts and Eicher have
reported operating margins of 4.4%, 0.7% and 2.9% respectively. The Net Profit has
increased by 1.4% to Rs.564 million and the contribution of 40-50HP tractors has
increased by 30%, which indicates higher margins from bigger tractors due to a strong
foothold in Punjab and Haryana markets.

hole.

Chamfering: It is operation of beveling the extreme end of the work pieces,


chamfer is provided for better look.

Rough turning: In this operation max Metal is removed and very little over
size dimensions are left for further machining.

Finish turning: Here minimum metal is removed and very fine finish is
obtained on the work surface.

Grooving: It is operation of turning the groove or neck in order to terminate a


thread or to provide adequate clearance enable nut to pass freely on threaded
work piece to remove burs and to protect the work piece from being damaged.

Knurling: It is the process of embossing a diamond shaped regular pattern on


the surface of the work piece using a special knurling tool.

Broaching: It is the method of metal removal by a tool that has successively


higher cutting edges in a fixed path. Each tooth removes a fixed amount of
material.

Drilling: It is the process of making hole in an object by forcing a drill.

Boring: It is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled.

Grinding: It is generally used for sharpening the cutting tool, grinding threads
and better surface finish etc.

Hob: - Hob is a cutting tool used for cutting gears or similar form gears by the
generating principle.
A Hob resembles a worm in appearance its cutting teeth on the outside of a
cylindrical body following a helical path corresponding to the thread of a worm. It
is useful to think of a hob as a cylinder with a series of racks being parallel to the
hob axis or nearly so and each one slightly displaced axially with respect to the
preceding racks. As the hob rotates in fixed rotation with the blank each row of
teeth successively cuts the next portion of the gear tooth spaces.

Hobs can be broadly classified as

Single start

Double start

Triple start.

CONCEPT OF DOWELLING
41
www.final-yearproject.com | www.finalyearthesis.com

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED

The main aim or purpose of doweling is to act as a guide to the work piece setting
proposes prior to machining. Use of this process helps in reducing the setting time
considerably during machining of heavy components. It is very difficult to set the work
piece in required position prior to machining, this process is very time consuming, hence
when initially the cast piece is brought dowel holes are drilled which act as the pivot
around which the whole machining takes place. Dowel hole act as the reference point for
machining of all the other holes on the work piece all the operation to be performed on
the work piece are taken in reference to the dowel holes thus the hole act as the reference
to all the operations.

PROCESS OF SETTING PRIOR TO DOWEL


Before the dowelling the cast piece is clamped manually, there are three points to be
touched. It follows the phenomena of 3-2-1, which means that we have to restrict the
motion in three directions i.e. x, y, z direction, two to restrict horizontal and vertical
motion and one act as reference point, this process is known as butt and clamp. By
dowelling it is all about locate and clamp hence there is lot of saving of time.

REFERENCING
Dowel act as reference, all the dimension of the work piece i.e. all the machining
operations are from the reference of Dowel hole.

HEAT TREATMENT SHOP


Heat treatment shop plays a very important role in every industry. In automobile industry
all the gear and shafts need to be heat treated to impart desired strength and increase life
of the component. The H.T. shop at PTL is equipped with several gas carbonizing
furnaces, quenching tanks, induction hardening machines and shot blasting furnaces.
Heat Treatment is an operation or combination of operations involving heating and
cooling of metals and alloys in the solid state to produce certain desired properties. All
the heat treatment processes may be considered to consist of three main parts:
1. The heating of the metal to pre-determined temperature.
2. The soaking of the metal at that temperature until the structure becomes uniform
throughout the mass.
3. The cooling of the metal at some pre-determined rate to cause the formation of
desirable structures within the metal/alloy for the desired purposes.
44

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED

PURPOSES OF THE HEAT TREATMENT


Changes in properties result from the micro-structural changes in the material produced
by heat treatment operation. However, these serve one or more of the following purposes:
1. Improve machinability.
2. Relieve internal stresses.
3. Improve mechanical properties such as ductility, strength, hardness, toughness etc.
4. Change in grain size.
5. Increase resistance to heat and corrosion.

METHODS OF HEAT TREATMENT


Various methods depending upon the nature of job .i.e. it material, use etc are employed
for giving then Heat Treatment. These methods used are:
Annealing
Normalizing
Hardening
Quenching
Tempering
Case Hardening
a)carburizing
45
www.final-yearproject.com | www.finalyearthesis.com

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED


b)Cyaniding
Induction Heating.

ANNEALING
Annealing means softening of the material by heating and cooling process. The cooling
stage may be performed by regulating the fall of the temperature in the furnace or by
buried the article in sand or lime, and quenching in oil or water, according to the material
being treated.

NORMALISING
In this process the material is heated steadily through out its mass to just beyond the
critical temperature, and then withdrawn from the furnace and allowed to cool in still air.
With the normalizing process there is not soaking period, for the work is held at the
desired temperature for a period only sufficient to give uniformity through out the mass.

HARDENING
The operation of hardening is applied to all the tools and some important machine parts
intended for especially heavy duty service, as well as to all machine parts made of alloy
steel. Hardening of steels is done to increase the strength and wear properties.

QUENCHING
Quenching is the act of rapidly cooling the hot steel to harden the steel. Oil is used when
a slower cooling rate is desired. Oil quenching results in fumes, spills, and sometimes a
fire hazard.

TEMPERING
46
www.final-yearproject.com | www.finalyearthesis.com

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED


It is an operation to reduce the internal stress and brittleness. With plain carbon steel,
tempering operation consist in slowly heating the hardened material from room
temperature up to maximum of about 600oC and then quenching in water or oil, the
temperature and length of soaking period being dependent in service requirement. Thus if
plain carbon steel is to be hard without any appreciable ductility, a temperature of about
150oC will be required.

CASE HARDENING (CARBURISING)


It is method of producing hard surface on steel. The steel used for this purpose is usually
a low carbon steel of about 0.15% carbon, which does not respond appreciable to heat
treatment. In course of the process, the outer layer is converted into high carbon steel
with a carbon content ranging from 0.9% to 1.2% carbon.

PAINT SHOP
Paint Shop is the place where the different sheet metal components are painted. They are
made to pass through various chemicals before they are actually painted. The painting
method opted is that of Spray Painting.

INDUSTRIAL ENGG DEPARTMENT


The department allocated to me was Manufacturing Engineering (M.E). This department
is commonly known as Industrial Engg. department. This department is backbone of the
industrial unit. All shops come under this department. It deals with the activities related to
industrial engg.

About the Industrial Engg department


Introduction
49
www.final-yearproject.com | www.finalyearthesis.com

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED


The Manufacturing Engg. department (M.E.) plays a vital role in efficient and smooth
working of the manufacturing and developing programs of the company.
The American Institute of Industrial Engg. (AIIE) has defined this special field as:
Concerned with design, improvement and installation of integrated system of people,
materials, equipment and energy.

Industrial Engineering is engineering approach to the detailed analysis of the use and the
cost of the resources of an organization. The main resources are men, money, material,
equipment and machinery. The Industrial Engineer carries out such analysis in order to
achieve the objective and policies of an organization. It is not associated with meeting
cost factors, but with organization structure, administration, technology and human
problems etc.
Earlier it was mainly employed to manufacturing industries for improving methods of
production, to develop production work standards and to formulate production contract
and wage policies. But with the advancement of technologies and industries, I.E also
spread to non-manufacturing like construction, transportation etc.
It is the most important and result oriented department in terms of production, planning,
designing, optimization of methods etc. Some functions involve planning of layouts of all
the shops to get maximum benefits of available space, setting workers time standards to
perform a certain job by motion study and implementing standards laid. Other function of
this department also includes selection of tooling, fixture etc.

In PTL the I.E. department is further divided into three sections: Process planning
Plant and machinery
Work- study

Job responsibilities of I.E.

To set up production norms for all production departments i.e. to set up time
standard for the entire job.
To design / improve work place arrangement to improve productivity and to
create good working conditions and environment for work place.
To design / improve material handling system to make its use and optimize its
cost.
50
www.final-yearproject.com | www.finalyearthesis.com

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED

To design material storage system for optimizing utilization and minimizing cost.
To calculate efficiencies of shops and thereby incentives.
To set up new machines and to make process plan.
Design formats for management reports like rejection of manpower facilities,
production target v/s production efficiency.
Plant layouts: best optimum utilization of space can be achieved by optimum
layout.
Installation of new machines and conveying systems. Another important function
of I.E. is to get the new machinery installed according to the proposed layout.

Functions of I.E. department

Receiving components and drawings from R&D.


Prepare and release of process sheet.
Assessment of direct labour requirements.
To make decisions for required equipments.
To make decision for purchasing new machines.
Installation of new machines at proper places.
Releasing of jigs, tools and fixture drawings.
Preparation of release of operating conditions of machines.
To study the machining time.
To make operation research.
Miscellaneous and advisory functions.

Applications of I.E.

Earlier it was mainly applied to manufacturing industries for improving methods


of production, to develop work standards or to formulate production control and
wage policies.
Later on, the use of I.E. also spreaded to non-manufacturing activities such as
construction and transportation, farm and air-line operations and maintenance,
public utilities, government and military operations.
But today it finds its major application in manufacturing plants and industries.
In an industry besides the production, other departments utilization I.E. concept
is marketing, finance, purchasing and industrial revolution etc.

Process planning
The process planning system deals with LMS, HMS, Assembly, Paint Shop and Heat
Treatment Shop. In this, first I.E get drawings of components to be manufactured in the
plant from R&D. Then I.E lay down the sequence of operation to be performed on the
material. After this workstation is decided, on which the respective operation is to be
performed. Through work-study, I.E standardize the time for setting, tooling and
operation. After getting all the information, I.E prepare the summary of the operation
sheet comprising the operation no., operation work center, time, weight, quantity,
material used etc.
After this I.E prepare a detailed operation as for each operation, comprising operation
details, part no., machining condition, rpm, feed, depth of cut, workstation, quantity,
description of standard tooling and special tooling, jigs, fixtures, which are prepared in
plant, according to the requirements.
Operation sheets also have space for drawing of the corresponding component showing
the position of clamping, resting, flatness, surface finish and there is column for
amendment.

Work Study
Under this section comes incentive scheme and time study. This section is mainly
concerned with incentive scheme, as they have already worked on time study and
prepared the charts referring the time taken by different operations on respective
machines in respective shops and departments. Time study is generally done when a new
machine is being installed, some new aid is being given to the workers on the machine
for easy working or some new method is being used for increasing the productivity.

GEAR BOX
The power, which the engine develops, is transmitted to the wheels of the tractor
by certain essential parts. The application of engine power to the driving wheels through
these parts is called POWER TRANSMISSION. These parts are clutching, gear box,
differential and rear axles.
To start a tractor from rest, the inertia of its whole weight must be overcome.
Diesel engine does not develop its full power at low speed. It has to run at fairly high
speed before it develops maximum power and torque.
Since much power is needed in starting, climbing uneven land and in pulling
varying loads, a provision must be made to permit the engine to run at high speed while
the wheels run at lower speed. This is achieved by a system called GEAR BOX.
With the help of gearbox we can achieve this and pulling power of the tractor can
be increased or decreased by varying the speed of tractor. For these tractors gearbox used
is of the type of SLIDING MESH GEAR type.

FUNCTIONS

To convert the power of the engine running at high speed into low speed at high
torque, this is required for starting.

To exchange the forward motion into reverse motion of the vehicle.

To disconnect the engine from the rear wheels by putting the gearbox into the
neutral position.

TYPES OF GEAR BOX

GEAR BOX SUB-ASSEMBLY


It consist of following sub-assemblies:1. Input Shaft:
This shaft transfer the power from the engine to the gear box. One end of the shaft
is splined which is connected to the engine and second end is the integral constant
mesh pinion which transfers the power to the constant mesh gear splined on the
lay shaft.

2. Lay Shaft:Gears are in the fixed position provided by the spacers. Gears on the lay shaft can
only rotate but can not move axially. It consists of one constant mesh (CM) gear
and three straight teeth gear. CM gear of lay shaft is in mesh with the CM gear of
the input shaft, due to which lay shaft moves with the constant speed. All the gear
on the lay shaft moves with the constant speed. Lay shaft also gives drive to the
PTO shaft.

3. Intermediate shaft:It is the splined shaft consist of three gear which are axially movable on the shaft.
All the gears are provided with the collar, so that forks are fitted in these collars
and help the gears to move axially. These gears are meshed with the gears on the
lay shaft to have the correct gear pair with required gear ratio. Only one pair is in
mesh at one time so to avoid double engaging.

4. Three forks:

One fork is used for:


(a) Engaging reverse gear with the help of idler cluster.
(b) Engaging 1st gear

Second fork used for engaging 2nd gear

Third fork used for engaging 3rd and 4th gear.

5. Epicyclic gear train:It is used to have high speed ratio between input shaft and output or intermediate
shaft. This is done by engaging hi-low gear. This gear train consist of following
sub-assemblies:

Internal gear.

Different views of assembled Gear Box

WORKING IN GEAR BOX


The Constant Mesh (CM) gear is rigidly fixed to the input shaft or clutch shaft. It remains
always connected to the drive gear (also CM gear) of the lay shaft. Three other gears are
also rigidly fixed to the layshaft. They are the second speed gear, first speed gear and
reverse speed gear. Two gears are mounted on the splined main shaft or output shaft (also
known as intermediate shaft) which can be slided by the shifter fork when the shaft
lever is operated. These gears are the second speed gear and first and reverse speed gear.
They can be connected to the corresponding gears of the layshaft and always remains
connected to the reverse gear of the layshaft.
Gears in neutral: When the engine is running and clutch is engaged, the CM gear
drives the layshaft gears. The layshaft rotates opposite in direction of the clutch shaft.
Note that in neutral position, only the CM gear is connected to the CM gear of the

layshaft. Other gears are free, and hence the transmission intermediate shaft is not
turning. The vehicle is stationary.
First or low speed gear: By operating the gear shift lever, the larger gear on the
intermediate shaft is moved along the shaft to mesh in the first gear of the layshaft.
The intermediate shaft turns in the same direction as the input shaft. Since the smaller
layshaft gear is engaged with the larger intermediate shaft gear, a gear reduction of
approximately 3:1 if obtained. That is, the input shaft turns three times for each
revolution of the input shaft. Further gear reduction in the differential at the rear
wheels produces a still higher gear ratio, approximately 12:1, between the engine
crankshaft and the wheels.

Second speed gear: By operating the gearshift lever, the larger gear of the
intermediate shaft is demeshed from the first gear of the layshaft and then the smaller
gear of the input shaft is meshed with the second gear of the layshaft. The
intermediate shaft turns in the same direction as the input shaft. A gear reduction of
approximately 2:1 is obtained. The differential gear reduction increases this gear ratio
to approximately 8:1.

Third, top or high speed gear: By operating the gear shaft lever, the second gear of
the intermediate shaft and layshaft are demeshed, and then the second and top gear of
the input shaft is forced axially against the CM gear of the input shaft. External teeth
on the input shaft gear mesh with the internal teeth in the second and top gear. The
intermediate shaft turns with the input shaft and the gear ratio of 1:1 is obtained. The
differential reduction reduces a gear ratio of about 4:1 between the engine crankshaft
and the wheels.
Reverse gear: by operating the gear shaft lever, the larger gear of the intermediate
shaft is meshed with the lever idler gear. The reverse idler gear is always in mesh with
the layshaft reverse gear. Interposing the idler gear between the layshaft reverse gear

and intermediate shaft bigger gear, the intermediate shaft turns in the direction
opposite to that of the input shaft. This reverses the rotation of the wheels so that the
vehicle backs.
High/Low Gear: High/low gear shifter enables to achieve either high torque-low
speed or low torque-high speed with the help of planet gear & carrier assembly.

HIGH GEAR: Low torque-high speed is achieved when hi-lo shifter is shifted in
high gear position. Coupling intermediate shaft and output shaft with the help of
sleeve transmits the power.
LOW GEAR: High torque-low speed is achieved when hi-lo shifter is shifted in low
gear position. The power is transmitted to output shaft from intermediate shaft, planet
gear and carrier assembly and sleeve. The planet gear & carrier assembly reduces the
high speed and subsequently torque is increased.

DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM
If the car travels in a straight line, the two rear wheels turn on the road exactly at the
same speed. There is no relative movement between the two rear wheels. The propeller
shaft may be geared rigidly, in the case, with the rear axle to rotate the rear wheel
together. But when the car takes the turn, the outer wheel travels on the longer radius than
the inner wheels. The outer wheel turns faster than the inner wheel, i.e., there is the
relative movement between the two rear wheels. If the two rear wheels are rigidly fixed
to a rear axle, the inner wheel will slip which will cause:

Rapid tyre wear.

Steering difficulties.

Poor road holding.

Therefore, there must be some devices to provide relative movement to the two
rear wheels when the car takes a turn. And here comes the purpose of differential.
65
www.final-yearproject.com | www.finalyearthesis.com

Six Months Industrial Training Report

PUNJAB TRACTORS LIMITED

The differential is a device that splits the engine torque two ways, allowing each output to
spin at a different speed.
The differential is found on all modern cars and trucks, and also in many all-wheel-drive
(full-time four-wheel-drive) vehicles. These all-wheel-drive vehicles need a differential
between each set of drive wheels, and they need one between the front and the back
wheels as well, because the front wheels travel a different distance through a turn than the
rear wheels.
Part-time four-wheel-drive systems don't have a differential between the front and rear
wheels; instead, they are locked together so that the front and rear wheels have to turn at
the same average speed. This is why these vehicles are hard to turn on concrete when the
four-wheel-drive system is engaged.

The differential has three jobs

To aim the engine power at the wheels

To act as the final gear reduction in the vehicle, slowing the rotational
speed of the transmission one final time before it hits the wheels

To transmit the power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at


different speeds (This is the one that earned the differential its name.)

AFTER PAINT AREA:- This

stage is also called the DISMOUNTING

STAGE of the tractor.

DISMOUNTING STAGE
INTRODUCTION
DISMOUNTING means the removing of the complete assembled tractor piece from
the conveyor. The conveyor is a long rail like carrier system, which carries the tractor
chassis & engine assembly through the different chambers of washing, drying,
primering, baking & then to the dismounting stage.

After the attachment of the complete assemblies of differential housing, gearbox &
engine fitting, the assembled piece is mounted on the conveyor which takes the
assembled piece to the different chambers of washing, drying, primering, baking &
then further to the dismounting stage. First of all the chassis & engine part is washed in
the washing chamber. After washing the assemble piece is dried with the blowers in
the drying chamber. After that the assembled piece is coated with the primer in the
primering chamber. A primer makes a thin layer on the assembled piece, which helps
the paint to be attached to the assembled piece. After the primering the assembled
piece is dried out. Then the assembled piece travels to the painting chamber & paint is
sprayed on the assembled piece of the tractor containing the chassis & the engine.
After the paint section, the assembled piece travel to the baking chamber. In this the
paint dried out & fixed on the assembled piece. Then at last the assembled pieces
reaches to the dismounting stage. In this stage the wiring, sheet metal work attachment
& other parts of the tractors like radiator, steering, fuel tank, etc. is fitted. When the
fitting of the parts of the tractor is complete the tractor piece is removed from the
conveyor called the DISMOUNTING of the tractor. Then the further test like road
testing, rig test, engine test, etc. is done.
After the dismounting stage, we get the complete tractor but without testing. So testing
of the tractor is done after dismounting & after passing the tests, the tractor is sent to
the yard from where it is supplied to R & D COMPLEX. Here further testing of the
tractors is done on the engine & other parts like lifting, etc. & improvement or
development is done in the tractor for better performance. After all this procedures of
testing etc., the tractor is ready to be supplied to the market.

DISMOUNTING STAGE:
After the processes of washing, drying, painting, baking, the assembled piece is finally
arrived to the DISMOUNTING STAGE through conveyor. This dismounting stage is
further divided into different small stages & in each stage, 2 persons works at a time,
on an assembled piece of chassis & engine. The work is divided between these 2 men
at the different stages. The dismounting stage is divided into 5 different stages in
which the parts of the tractor are fitted on the assembled piece of chassis & engine &

in every 6 minutes, we got a complete tractor, which is removed from the conveyor of
the dismounting stage.

STAGE 1:

Alternator connection

Horn

Brake rod

Brake switch connection

Fan belt

STAGE 2:

Speedometer wire

After completing all the above stages the tractor reaches the point where it is
removed from the conveyor, which is known as the DISMOUNTING STAGE
of the tractor. A platform is there & when the tractor reaches the platform the
conveyor is removed & the tractor is free. After that the tractor slides down the
platform & reaches the stage, which is the final stage after the dismounting of
the tractor. This stage comes before the testing of the tractor. In this following
functions & equipments are fitted on the tractor:

Air cleaner

Exhaust

Front tyres distance check and adjust

INTRODUCTION
Efficiency Is-the term associated with every business, resulting in profit
making, it is defined as the ratio of output to the input, it is necessary that stress
have to be laid on maximizing the output with keeping input to the lowest
possible level, to increase the profit. II is also important that at the same time
quality and reliability has also to be ensured. Today industry demands faster
production in harder and tougher material to unprecedented tolerances.
Conventional machines either manual or automatic cannot meet these demands.
Automation in production process may be achieved by one of the following
strategies.
a) Industrial Process Control
b) Computer Aided Data Processing

Complexity of operation
Operator's skill and training
Programming of job

CNC PROGRAMMING
Program: It is a set of instructions to perform the operations on the
component. This program is fed in the computer interfaced with the CNC
machine which performs the required operation as per the instructions.

Operation: It refers to the metal cutting process the machine performs in


accordance with the given program.

STEPS IN DEVELOPING A CNC PROGRAM


1. Preparing of the AC co-ordinate drawing : This is done according to the type
of dimensioning system of the NC machine- absolute or incremental
2. Process Planning: This is to determine or plan the sequence of operations to
be followed for preparing a workpiece.
3. Part programming and its manuscripts: This contains all the machining
instructions like feed rate spindle speed etc..
4. The program is fed to the machine using a suitable media and is checked for
accuracy.
OPERATING MODES:1. Automatic operation (CRT display: AUTOMATIC)
To process a part program in this operating mode, the control colls the blocks
in sequence and elevates them. The evaluation takes all offsets into account that
are referenced by the program. The blocks prepared in this way are processed
in sequence.
The part program can be entered into the control via the universal interface
(e.g. via punched tape or via the keyboard). While one part program is
being processed, another part program can be entered simultaneously.
2. Jog (CRT display: JOG)
With the direction keys and the preset feed rate value "F", you can traverse
the tool at random. After a program interruption, you can see the distance to the
point of interruption displayed in the "REPOS offset"

3. Manual data input/ Automatic (CRT display: MDI


AUTOMATIC)
In this operating mode, you can input part program blocks into the buffer
memory of the control. The control processes the input block, and then
clears the buffer memory ready for new data
PART PROGRAMMING:-

The part program is a sequence of instructions, which describe the work,


which has to be done on a part in the form required by a computer under the
control of a NC computer program.

O - Program number (Used for program identification)

N - Sequence number (Used for line identification)

G - Preparatory function

X - X axis designation

Y - Y axis designation

Z - Z axis designation

R - Radius designation

F - Feed rate designation

S - Spindle speed designation

H - Tool length offset designation

D - Tool radius offset designation

T - Tool Designation

M - Miscellaneous function

As you can see, many of the letter addresses are chosen in a rather logical
manner (T for tool, S for spindle, F for feed rate, etc.)- A few require
memorizing.
There are two letter addresses (G and M) which allow special functions to
be designated. The preparatory function (G) specifies is commonly used to set
modes. We already introduced absolute mode, specified by G90 and incremental
mode, specified by G91. These are but two of the preparatory functions used.
You must reference your control manufacturer's manual to find the list of
preparatory functions for your particular machine.
Like preparatory functions, miscellaneous functions (M words) allow a
variety of special functions. Miscellaneous functions are typically used as
programmable switches (like spindle on/off, coolant on/off, and so on). They are
also used to allow programming of many other programmable functions of the
CNC machine tool.
To a beginner, all of this may seem like CNC programming requires a great
deal of memorization. But rest assured that there are only about 30-40 different
words used with CNC programming. If you can think of learning CNC manual
programming as like learning a foreign language that has only 40 words, it
shouldn't seem too difficult.

What is Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)?


It can be considered as the medical science of machines. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is
a maintenance program which involves a newly defined concept for maintaining plants and
equipment. The goal of the TPM program is to markedly increase production while, at the same
time, increasing employee morale and job satisfaction.
TPM brings maintenance into focus as a necessary and vitally important part of the business. It is
no longer regarded as a non-profit activity. Down time for maintenance is scheduled as a part of
the manufacturing day and, in some cases, as an integral part of the manufacturing process. The
goal is to hold emergency and unscheduled maintenance to a minimum.

Why TPM?
TPM was introduced to achieve the following objectives. The important ones are listed below.
Avoid wastage in a quickly changing economic environment.
Producing goods without reducing product quality.
Reduce cost.
Produce a low batch quantity at the earliest possible time.
Goods send to the customers must be non defective.

Similarities and differences between TQM and TPM:


The TPM program closely resembles the popular Total Quality Management (TQM) program.
Many of the tools such as employee empowerment, benchmarking, documentation, etc. used in
TQM are used to implement and optimize TPM.Following are the similarities between the two.
1. Total commitment to the program by upper level management is required in both
programmers
2. Employees must be empowered to initiate corrective action, and
3. A long range outlook must be accepted as TPM may take a year or more to implement
and is an on-going process. Changes in employee mind-set toward their job
responsibilities must take place as well.
The differences between TQM and TPM is summarized below.

Types of maintenance:
1. Breakdown maintenance:
It means that people waits until equipment fails and repair it. Such a thing could be used when
the equipment failure does not significantly affect the operation or production or generate any
significant loss other than repair cost.

2. Preventive maintenance (1951):


It is a daily maintenance (cleaning, inspection, oiling and re-tightening ), design to retain the
healthy condition of equipment and prevent failure through the prevention of deterioration,
periodic inspection or equipment condition diagnosis, to measure deterioration. It is further
divided into periodic maintenance and predictive maintenance. Just like human life is extended
by preventive medicine, the equipment service life can be prolonged by doing preventive
maintenance.

2a. Periodic maintenance (Time based maintenance - TBM):


Time based maintenance consists of periodically inspecting, servicing and cleaning equipment
and replacing parts to prevent sudden failure and process problems.

2b. Predictive maintenance :


This is a method in which the service life of important part is predicted based on inspection or
diagnosis, in order to use the parts to the limit of their service life. Compared to periodic
maintenance, predictive maintenance is condition based maintenance. It manages trend values,
by measuring and analyzing data about deterioration and employs a surveillance system,
designed to monitor conditions through an on-line system.

3. Corrective maintenance ( 1957 ) :


It improves equipment and its components so that preventive maintenance can be carried out
reliably. Equipment with design weakness must be redesigned to improve reliability or
improving maintainability

4. Maintenance prevention ( 1960 ):


It indicates the design of a new equipment. Weakness of current machines are sufficiently studied
( on site information leading to failure prevention, easier maintenance and prevents of defects,
safety and ease of manufacturing ) and are incorporated before commissioning a new equipment.

TPM - History:
TPM is an innovative Japanese concept. The origin of TPM can be traced back to 1951 when
preventive maintenance was introduced in Japan. However the concept of preventive
maintenance was taken from USA. Nippondenso was the first company to introduce plant wide
preventive maintenance in 1960. Preventive maintenance is the concept wherein, operators
produced goods using machines and the maintenance group was dedicated with work of
maintaining those machines, however with the automation of Nippondenso, maintenance became
a problem as more maintenance personnel were required. So the management decided that the
routine maintenance of equipment would be carried out by the operators. (This is Autonomous
maintenance, one of the features of TPM). Maintenance group took up only essential
maintenance works.
Thus Nippondenso which already followed preventive maintenance also added Autonomous
maintenance done by production operators. The maintenance crew went in the equipment
modification for improving reliability. The modifications were made or incorporated in new
equipment. This lead to maintenance prevention. Thus preventive maintenance along with
Maintenance prevention and Maintainability Improvement gave birth to Productive
maintenance. The aim of productive maintenance was to maximize plant and equipment
effectiveness to achieve optimum life cycle cost of production equipment.
By then Nippon Denso had made quality circles, involving the employees participation. Thus all
employees took part in implementing Productive maintenance. Based on these developments
Nippondenso was awarded the distinguished plant prize for developing and implementing TPM,
by the Japanese Institute of Plant Engineers (JIPE). Thus Nippondenso of the Toyota group
became the first company to obtain the TPM certification.

TPM Targets:
P
Obtain Minimum 80% OPE.
Obtain Minimum 90% OEE ( Overall Equipment Effectiveness )
Run the machines even during lunch. ( Lunch is for operators and not for machines ! )
Q
Operate in a manner, so that there are no customer complaints.
C
Reduce the manufacturing cost by 30%.
D
Achieve 100% success in delivering the goods as required by the customer.

S
Maintain a accident free environment.
M
Increase the suggestions by 3 times. Develop Multi-skilled and flexible workers.

Indirect benefits of TPM

Adoption of life cycle approach for improving the overall performance of


production equipment.
Improving productivity by highly motivated workers which is achieved by job
enlargement.
The use of voluntary small group activities for identifying the cause of failure,
possible plant and equipment modifications.

The major difference between TPM and other concepts is that the operators are
also made to involve in the maintenance process. The concept of "I ( Production
operators ) Operate, You ( Maintenance department ) fix" is not followed.

Steps in introduction of TPM in a organization :


Step A - PREPARATORY STAGE :

STEP 1 - Announcement by Management to all about TPM introduction in the


organization :
Proper understanding, commitment and active involvement of the top management in needed for
this step. Senior management should have awareness programmes, after which announcement is
made to all. Publish it in the house magazine and put it in the notice board. Send a letter to all
concerned individuals if required.

STEP 2 - Initial education and propaganda for TPM :


Training is to be done based on the need. Some need intensive training and some just an
awareness. Take people who matters to places where TPM already successfully implemented.

STEP 3 - Setting up TPM and departmental committees :


TPM includes improvement, autonomous maintenance, quality maintenance etc., as part of it.
When committees are set up it should take care of all those needs.

STEP 4 - Establishing the TPM working system and target :


Now each area is benchmarked and fix up a target for achievement.

STEP 5 - A master plan for institutionalizing :


Next step is implementation leading to institutionalizing wherein TPM becomes an
organizational culture. Achieving PM award is the proof of reaching a satisfactory level.

STEP B - INTRODUCTION STAGE


This is a ceremony and we should invite all. Suppliers as they should know that we want quality
supply from them. Related companies and affiliated companies who can be our customers, sisters
concerns etc. Some may learn from us and some can help us and customers will get the
communication from us that we care for quality output.

STAGE C - IMPLEMENTATION
In this stage eight activities are carried which are called eight pillars in the development of TPM
activity.
Of these four activities are for establishing the system for production efficiency, one for initial
control system of new products and equipment, one for improving the efficiency of
administration and are for control of safety, sanitation as working environment.

STAGE D - INSTITUTIONALISING STAGE


By all there activities one would has reached maturity stage. Now is the time for applying for PM
award. Also think of challenging level to which you can take this movement.

Organization Structure for TPM Implementation:

Pillars of TPM

PILLAR 1 - 5S:
TPM starts with 5S. Problems cannot be clearly seen when the work place is unorganized.
Cleaning and organizing the workplace helps the team to uncover problems. Making problems
visible is the first step of improvement.

SEIRI - Sort out:


This means sorting and organizing the items as critical, important, frequently used items, useless,
or items that are not need as of now. Unwanted items can be salvaged. Critical items should be
kept for use nearby and items that are not be used in near future, should be stored in some place.

For this step, the worth of the item should be decided based on utility and not cost. As a result of
this step, the search time is reduced.

SEITON - Organize :
The concept here is that "Each item has a place and only one place". The items should be placed
back after usage at the same place. To identify items easily, name plates and colored tags has to
be used. Vertical racks can be used for this purpose, and heavy items occupy the bottom position
in the racks.
SEISO - Shine the workplace:
This involves cleaning the work place free of burrs, grease, oil, waste, scrap etc. No loosely
hanging wires or oil leakage from machines.
SEIKETSU - Standardization:
Employees have to discuss together and decide on standards for keeping the work place /
Machines / pathways neat and clean. These standards are implemented for whole organization
and are tested / inspected randomly.
SHITSUKE - Self discipline:
Considering 5S as a way of life and bring about self-discipline among the employees of the
organization. This includes wearing badges, following work procedures, punctuality, dedication
to the organization etc.

PILLAR 2 - JISHU HOZEN ( Autonomous maintenance ) :


This pillar is geared towards developing operators to be able to take care of small maintenance
tasks, thus freeing up the skilled maintenance people to spend time on more value added activity
and technical repairs. The operators are responsible for upkeep of their equipment to prevent it
from deteriorating.

Policy :
1.

Uninterrupted operation of equipments.

2.
3.

Flexible operators to operate and maintain other equipments.


Eliminating the defects at source through active employee participation.

4.

Stepwise implementation of JH activities.

JISHU HOZEN Targets:


1.

Prevent the occurrence of 1A / 1B because of JH.

2.
3.
4.

Reduce oil consumption by 50%


Reduce process time by 50%
Increase use of JH by 50%

Steps in JISHU HOZEN :


1.

Preparation of employees.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Initial cleanup of machines.


Take counter measures
Fix tentative JH standards
General inspection
Autonomous inspection
Standardization and
Autonomous management.

Each of the above mentioned steps is discussed in detail below.


1.

Train the Employees : Educate the employees about TPM, Its advantages, JH advantages and Steps in JH.
Educate the employees about abnormalities in equipments.

2.

Initial cleanup of machines :


o Supervisor and technician should discuss and set a date for implementing step1
o Arrange all items needed for cleaning
o On the arranged date, employees should clean the equipment completely with the help of
maintenance department.
o Dust, stains, oils and grease has to be removed.
o Following are the things that has to be taken care while cleaning. They are Oil leakage, loose
wires, unfastened nits and bolts and worn out parts.
o After clean up problems are categorized and suitably tagged. White tags is place where problems
can be solved by operators. Pink tag is placed where the aid of maintenance department is
needed.
o Contents of tag is transferred to a register.
o Make note of area which were inaccessible.
o Finally close the open parts of the machine and run the machine.
Counter Measures :

3.

Inaccessible regions had to be reached easily. E.g. If there are many screw to open
a fly wheel door, hinge door can be used. Instead of opening a door for inspecting
the machine, acrylic sheets can be used.
o To prevent work out of machine parts necessary action must be taken.
o Machine parts should be modified to prevent accumulation of dirt and dust.
4. Tentative Standard :
o JH schedule has to be made and followed strictly.
o Schedule should be made regarding cleaning, inspection and lubrication and it
also should include details like when, what and how.
5. General Inspection :
o The employees are trained in disciplines like Pneumatics, electrical, hydraulics,
lubricant and coolant, drives, bolts, nuts and Safety.
o

This is necessary to improve the technical skills of employees and to use


inspection manuals correctly.
o After acquiring this new knowledge the employees should share this with others.
o By acquiring this new technical knowledge, the operators are now well aware of
machine parts.
6. Autonomous Inspection :
o New methods of cleaning and lubricating are used.
o Each employee prepares his own autonomous chart / schedule in consultation
with supervisor.
o Parts which have never given any problem or part which don't need any
inspection are removed from list permanently based on experience.
o Including good quality machine parts. This avoid defects due to poor JH.
o Inspection that is made in preventive maintenance is included in JH.
o The frequency of cleanup and inspection is reduced based on experience.
7. Standardization :
o Up to the previous stem only the machinery / equipment was the concentration.
However in this step the surroundings of machinery are organized. Necessary
items should be organized, such that there is no searching and searching time is
reduced.
o Work environment is modified such that there is no difficulty in getting any item.
o Everybody should follow the work instructions strictly.
o Necessary spares for equipments is planned and procured.
8. Autonomous Management :
o OEE and OPE and other TPM targets must be achieved by continuous improve
through Kaizen.
o PDCA (Plan, Do, Check and Act) cycle must be implemented for Kaizen.
o

PILLAR 3 - KAIZEN :
"Kai" means change, and "Zen" means good ( for the better ). Basically kaizen is for small
improvements, but carried out on a continual basis and involve all people in the organization.
Kaizen is opposite to big spectacular innovations. Kaizen requires no or little investment. The
principle behind is that "a very large number of small improvements are move effective in an
organizational environment than a few improvements of large value. This pillar is aimed at
reducing losses in the workplace that affect our efficiencies. By using a detailed and thorough
procedure we eliminate losses in a systematic method using various Kaizen tools. These
activities are not limited to production areas and can be implemented in administrative areas as
well.

Kaizen Policy :
1. Practice concepts of zero losses in every sphere of activity.
2.
3.

relentless pursuit to achieve cost reduction targets in all resources


Relentless pursuit to improve over all plant equipment effectiveness.
Extensive use of PM analysis as a tool for eliminating losses.
Focus of easy handling of operators.

Kaizen Target :
Achieve and sustain zero loses with respect to minor stops, measurement and adjustments,
defects and unavoidable downtimes. It also aims to achieve 30% manufacturing cost reduction.

Tools used in Kaizen :

The objective of TPM is maximization of equipment effectiveness. TPM aims at maximization of


machine utilization and not merely machine availability maximization. As one of the pillars of
TPM activities, Kaizen pursues efficient equipment, operator and material and energy utilization,
that is extremes of productivity and aims at achieving substantial effects. Kaizen activities try to
thoroughly eliminate 16 major losses.

PILLAR 4 - PLANNED MAINTENANCE :


It is aimed to have trouble free machines and equipments producing defect free products for total
customer satisfaction. This breaks maintenance down into 4 "families" or groups which was
defined earlier.
1. Preventive Maintenance

2. Breakdown Maintenance
3. Corrective Maintenance
4. Maintenance Prevention
With Planned Maintenance we evolve our efforts from a reactive to a proactive method and use
trained maintenance staff to help train the operators to better maintain their equipment.

Policy :
1.

Achieve and sustain availability of machines

2.

Optimum maintenance cost.


Reduces spares inventory.
Improve reliability and maintainability of machines.

3.
4.

Target :
1. Zero equipment failure and break down.
2. Improve reliability and maintainability by 50 %
3. Reduce maintenance cost by 20 %
4. Ensure availability of spares all the time.

Six steps in Planned maintenance :


1. Equipment evaluation and recoding present status.
2. Restore deterioration and improve weakness.
3. Building up information management system.
4. Prepare time based information system, select equipment, parts and members and map
out plan.
5. Prepare predictive maintenance system by introducing equipment diagnostic techniques
and
6. Evaluation of planned maintenance.

PILLAR 5 - QUALITY MAINTENANCE :


It is aimed towards customer delight through highest quality through defect free manufacturing.
Focus is on eliminating non-conformances in a systematic manner, much like Focused
Improvement. We gain understanding of what parts of the equipment affect product quality and
begin to eliminate current quality concerns, then move to potential quality concerns. Transition is
from reactive to proactive (Quality Control to Quality Assurance).
QM activities is to set equipment conditions that preclude quality defects, based on the basic
concept of maintaining perfect equipment to maintain perfect quality of products. The condition
are checked and measure in time series to very that measure values are within standard values to
prevent defects. The transition of measured values is watched to predict possibilities of defects
occurring and to take counter measures before hand.

Policy :
1.

Defect free conditions and control of equipments.

2.

QM activities to support quality assurance.


Focus of prevention of defects at source
Focus on poka-yoke. ( fool proof system )
In-line detection and segregation of defects.
Effective implementation of operator quality assurance.

3.
4.
5.
6.

Target :
1. Achieve and sustain customer complaints at zero
2. Reduce in-process defects by 50 %
3. Reduce cost of quality by 50 %.

Data requirements :
Quality defects are classified as customer end defects and in house defects. For customer-end
data, we have to get data on
1. Customer end line rejection
2. Field complaints.
In-house, data include data related to products and data related to process

Data related to product :


1. Product wise defects
2.
3.
4.
5.

Severity of the defect and its contribution - major/minor


Location of the defect with reference to the layout
Magnitude and frequency of its occurrence at each stage of measurement
Occurrence trend in beginning and the end of each production/process/changes. (Like
pattern change, ladle/furnace lining etc.)
6. Occurrence trend with respect to restoration of breakdown/modifications/periodical
replacement of quality components.

Data related to processes:


1. The operating condition for individual sub-process related to men, method, material and
machine.
2. The standard settings/conditions of the sub-process
3. The actual record of the settings/conditions during the defect occurrence.

PILLAR 6 - TRAINING :
It is aimed to have multi-skilled revitalized employees whose morale is high and who has eager
to come to work and perform all required functions effectively and independently. Education is
given to operators to upgrade their skill. It is not sufficient know only "Know-How" by they
should also learn "Know-why". By experience they gain, "Know-How" to overcome a problem
what to be done. This they do without knowing the root cause of the problem and why they are
doing so. Hence it become necessary to train them on knowing "Know-why". The employees
should be trained to achieve the four phases of skill. The goal is to create a factory full of
experts. The different phase of skills are
Phase 1 : Do not know.
Phase 2 : Know the theory but cannot do.
Phase 3 : Can do but cannot teach
Phase 4 : Can do and also teach.

Policy :
1.

Focus on improvement of knowledge, skills and techniques.

2.
3.
4.

Creating a training environment for self learning based on felt needs.


Training curriculum / tools /assessment etc conductive to employee revitalization
Training to remove employee fatigue and make work enjoyable.

Target :
1.

Achieve and sustain downtime due to want men at zero on critical machines.

2.
3.

Achieve and sustain zero losses due to lack of knowledge / skills / techniques
Aim for 100 % participation in suggestion scheme.

Steps in Educating and training activities :


1.

Setting policies and priorities and checking present status of education and training.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Establish of training system for operation and maintenance skill up gradation.


Training the employees for upgrading the operation and maintenance skills.
Preparation of training calendar.
Kick-off of the system for training.
Evaluation of activities and study of future approach.

PILLAR 7 - OFFICE TPM :


Office TPM should be started after activating four other pillars of TPM (JH, KK, QM, PM).
Office TPM must be followed to improve productivity, efficiency in the administrative functions
and identify and eliminate losses. This includes analyzing processes and procedures towards
increased office automation. Office TPM addresses twelve major losses. They are
1. Processing loss

2. Cost loss including in areas such as procurement, accounts, marketing, sales leading to
high inventories
3. Communication loss
4. Idle loss
5. Set-up loss
6. Accuracy loss
7. Office equipment breakdown
8. Communication channel breakdown, telephone and fax lines
9. Time spent on retrieval of information
10. Non availability of correct on line stock status
11. Customer complaints due to logistics
12. Expenses on emergency dispatches/purchases

How to start office TPM ?


A senior person from one of the support functions e.g. Head of Finance, MIS, Purchase etc
should be heading the sub-committee. Members representing all support functions and people
from Production & Quality should be included in sub committee. TPM co-ordinate plans and
guides the sub committee.
1.

Providing awareness about office TPM to all support departments

2.

Helping them to identify P, Q, C, D, S, M in each function in relation to plant


performance
Identify the scope for improvement in each function
Collect relevant data
Help them to solve problems in their circles
Make up an activity board where progress is monitored on both sides - results and actions
along with Kaizens.
Fan out to cover all employees and circles in all functions.

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Kobetsu Kaizen topics for Office TPM :

Inventory reduction

Lead time reduction of critical processes


Motion & space losses
Retrieval time reduction.
Equalizing the work load
Improving the office efficiency by eliminating the time loss on retrieval of information,
by achieving zero breakdown of office equipment like telephone and fax lines.

Office TPM and its Benefits :


1. Involvement of all people in support functions for focusing on better plant performance
2. Better utilized work area
3. Reduce repetitive work

4. Reduced inventory levels in all parts of the supply chain


5. Reduced administrative costs
6. Reduced inventory carrying cost
7. Reduction in number of files

9. Productivity of people in support functions
10. Reduction in breakdown of office equipment
11. Reduction of customer complaints due to logistics
12. Reduction in expenses due to emergency dispatches/purchases
13. Reduced manpower
14. Clean and pleasant work environment.

P Q C D S M in Office TPM :
P - Production output lost due to want of material, Manpower productivity, Production output
lost due to want of tools.
Q - Mistakes in preparation of cheques, bills, invoices, payroll, Customer returns/warranty
attributable to BOPs, Rejection/rework in BOP's/job work, Office area rework.
C - Buying cost/unit produced, Cost of logistics - inbound/outbound, Cost of carrying inventory,
Cost of communication, Demurrage costs.
D - Logistics losses (Delay in loading/unloading)

Delay in delivery due to any of the support functions

Delay in payments to suppliers


Delay in information

S - Safety in material handling/stores/logistics, Safety of soft and hard data.


M - Number of kaizens in office areas.
How office TPM supports plant TPM :
Office TPM supports the plant, initially in doing Jishu Hozen of the machines (after getting
training of Jishu Hozen), as in Jishu Hozen at the
1. Initial stages machines are more and manpower is less, so the help of commercial
departments can be taken, for this
2. Office TPM can eliminate the lodes on line for no material and logistics.

Extension of office TPM to suppliers and distributors :


This is essential, but only after we have done as much as possible internally. With suppliers it
will lead to on-time delivery, improved 'in-coming' quality and cost reduction. With distributors
it will lead to accurate demand generation, improved secondary distribution and reduction in
damages during storage and handling. In any case we will have to teach them based on our
experience and practice and highlight gaps in the system which affect both sides. In case of some
of the larger companies, they have started to support clusters of suppliers.

PILLAR 8 - SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT :

Target :
1. Zero accident,
2. Zero health damage
3. Zero fires.
In this area focus is on to create a safe workplace and a surrounding area that is not damaged by
our process or procedures. This pillar will play an active role in each of the other pillars on a
regular basis.
A committee is constituted for this pillar which comprises representative of officers as well as
workers. The committee is headed by Senior vice President ( Technical ). Utmost importance to
Safety is given in the plant. Manager (Safety) is looking after functions related to safety. To
create awareness among employees various competitions like safety slogans, Quiz, Drama,
Posters, etc. related to safety can be organized at regular intervals.

For the TPM a total of 40 M/c s were selected from the whole plant & out of these 7 were from

Process of TPM

TAGGING: Red & white tags are put on the machines according to the
abnormalities.
Red Tags are those which show the abnormalities to be removed by the other
departments
White Tags are those which have to be removed by the own Deptt (in this case
HMS).These are basically dirtiness tags.

After the tags have been put the main stress is given to the removal of tags.
During cleaning CLITA are identified

C-Hard to clean
L-Hard to lubricate
I-Hard to inspect
T-Hard to tighten
A-Hard to adjust

After the identification of CLITA counter measures are done to remove them.
For these Kaizens and OPLs are done.
KAIZENS DONE ON THE MACHINE:
OPLs MADE.

CONCLUSION
The real spirit of achieving a goal is through the way of excellence and strict discipline. We
would have never succeeded in completing our task without the co-operation, encouragement
and help provided to us by various personalities.
As per the schedule of PTU we have completed the six months industrial training at
SWARAJ TRACTOR DIVISION(MOHALI) from 1st JULY to 31st DECEMBER. As
requirements of mechanical engineers students to tie over the practical work the industrial
training is beneficial for them. I have done training work with a full of interest given by industry.
I have done work at industry as per my capabilities and guidance of engineers of SWARAJ
GROUP to tie over the projects given by the industry.
The technical guidance and constant encouragement made it possible to tie over the
numerous problems, which so ever came up during the study without which, this training period
would not have been fruitful.
