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 knows 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 team 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.
In the month of July, 2003 the 23% stake held by the PSIDC has been disinvested to COMMONWEALTH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a UK based firm.

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.
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.

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. Fork Lifters. Agriculture implements. 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, 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.

TRACTOR APPLICATIONS:
In INDIA tractors are not only used for agriculture, Tractors are mainly used for the following major applications: Farming Material handling and Transportation.
A tractor is a critical tool in farm mechanization. A 20HP tractor can replace about 200 labourers. The vehicle is also used for material handling in large factories and a tractor- trailer combination is also used as a passenger/ commercial vehicle in rural and semi-urban areas. Studies done in Punjab shows that an average farmer runs his tractor for about 397 hours in a year. Out of this, 278 hours is spent on farming while the remaining time is divided between marketing of produce and purchase of inputs (61 hours), custom hiring (32 hours) and other social engagements (26 hours).
TRACTOR DESIGN:
A tractor is an automotive vehicle, driven by an internal combustion diesel engine. The power generated by the diesel engine is transmitted to the drive wheels through a gearbox. The gearbox typically has 4-8 gear ratios. The tractor design is different from other commercial vehicles as it has a differential, i.e. a gear assembly on the drive axle, which allows two wheels to rotate at different speeds without skidding. A tractor is normally equipped with power takeoff shafts, which drive auxiliary equipment such as pumps and compressors. Tractors are normally equipped with high power air cleaners, which ensure smooth operations even in the dusty conditions
81307114049
Page 24
PRODUCT RANGE:
Tractors are normally distinguished on the basis of power of the engine measured in horsepower (HP) as follows * * * * Less than 20HP (small size) 20-40HP (medium size) 30-60HP (large) Above 60HP (very large).
In India, the popular range of tractors is 20-40HP compared to 60HP in Europe and 90HP in the USA. In India, most of the farms are small and fragmented. Tractors available in developed countries have advanced features and accessories.

ENGINE TESTING
A completely assembled engine is brought from ASSEMBLY SHOP for testing in the ENGINE TESTING Labs . The engine here is tested, inspected at various rpms and loads. Engine is checked at full load , no load , over load . Engine is inspected for any kind of unusual noise. The engine is inspected here and finally marked OK or NOT OK . PROCEDURE: Engine brought from the Assembly Shop is first of all placed over the ENGINE TESTING BED and mounting is done . This includes placing the engine over the bed then clamping. Hydraulic clamping is present here for quick, firm and power clamping. After clamping has been done, then various inlet and outlet connections are joined. Various connections which are joined are: 1. Inlet air supply. 2. Exhaust for smoke and various dust particles. 3. Inlet of cold air. 4. Outlet for hot water. 5. Fuel oil supply. 6. Pressure checking gauge connection, of lubricating oil. 7. Lubricating oil supply. 8. Fuel oil overflow pipe. A butterfly valve is provided at the air inlet supply, which regulates the air supply. Eddy Current Dynamometer is provided to provide torque .On engine there is a thermostat provided for water exhaust . Water is re- circulated and when it becomes hot , it automatically exits due to thermostat present. Breather pipe is also one of the exhausts for other gases which are produced in the engine.
81307114049 Page 29
After connecting various connections engine is started. The engine testing cycle for RV2 , RV3 , RB 30 , RB 33 is of 35 minutes . For S15 engine testing cycle is of 90 minutes.Basic measurements undertaken to evaluate the performance of the engine are: 1. BHP ( Brake Horse Power ) 2. SFC (Specific Fuel Consumption ) 3. Lubricating oil consumption. 4. Smoke density. 5. Air consumption.

Lubricating oil pressure at idle load / No load is 2.8 - 3.5. Lubricating oil pressure at 2000 rpm, Full load is 4 - 4.5. Lubricating oil temperature 80 - 100. Fuel oil temperature Water temperature 38 - 42C.
70 - 85C.
BHP can also be defined as the power obtained at the engine flywheel and measured with the help of dynamometers . The dynamometer gives actually the engine torque , from which BHP in KW can be can calculated .
BED CONSTANT:
It is the constant calculated & recommended by the manufacturers of the bed . Each bed has its own different bed constant. Basically it is the loses which are due to the bed , in the performance of the engine . The bed constant when divided by load & rpm gives horse power (correct ) .
(BED CONSTANT value is basically 1000 or 15000.) 81307114049 Page 31
FUEL TIME:
It is the time taken by engine to consume 125 cc of fuel . It is expressed in seconds .
FUEL DELIVERY:
It means how much fuel is delivered per stroke at 40C at specific load . It is expressed in mm cube / stroke / element. For For 2 CYLINDERS : 3 CYLINDERS : FUEL DELIVERY = FUEL DELIVERY = 2500 fuel time 4500 fuel time
IDLE PRESSURE :
It is the pressure at idle condition. Here idle condition is 600 700 rpm.
81307114049
Page 32
O/L = Load at 1200 rpm . F/L = Load at 2000 rpm . As load is increased, rpm gets decreased. BUT is generally between 110 to 112 % if it is out of this range , the engine is considered NOT OK .
FUEL TIMING:
Fuel Timing is very important. This is set differently for different engines. Here it is set at 12 . During this degree the fuel will come and combustion of fuel will take place and piston is moved. That is during this period whole process is done.
Effect if it increased:
If fuel timing is go on increasing then more mono oxides will be produced i.e. the exhaust will consists more carbon monoxide which is very harmful product. Earlier fuel timing was set at 45 or 22 here but due to this reason it was cut down to 12 so that less harmful gases are produced and environment is less polluted.
81307114049

STORES
Materials and supplies constitute the most important assets in the majority of business enterprises. The success of the business, beside other factor, depends to a large extent on the efficient storage and material control. Store management takes care: That the required material is never out of stock. That no material is available in much excess than req. Proper storing of material is done. There is adequate procedure of receipt and issue of materials. That there is a proper method of keeping store records.
Receiving store:
All material from out side sources is received by the store. The goods received are unpacked and their quantity and condition is checked. There is a packing slip inside each package that tells what is supposed to be in and gives the purpose order on. Receiving store makes M. R. R. for the Q.E, purchase and accounts. One copy is kept with the receiving store while one copy is given to the vendor. All items received are checked from Q.E (receipt) and their results of inspection are indicated in a special testing report, upon which clearance report or rejection note is given. In case of rejection, the components are send back to the vendor for cancellation or replacement. The cleared material is sent to the main store.
Main store:
The material cleared by the quality reaches the main store. Here it is properly stored in the bins or stocked. Material is issued from the main store in different departments. Upon receipt of material requisition form, the storekeeper issues the material and records the quantities disbursed. The stock ledger register is then completed to shows the new balanced figures.
Rejection store:
The material, which is rejected by the Quality, is kept in the rejection store to be sent back to the Vendor.

ABSTRACT: 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. The TPM program closely resembles the popular Total Quality Management (TQM) program. Many of the same tools such as employee empowerment, benchmarking, documentation, etc. are used to implement and optimize TPM. This paper will define TPM in some detail, evaluate its strengths and weaknesses as a maintenance philosophy, and discuss implementation procedures. Examples of successfully implemented programs will be presented. TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM) is a new way of looking at maintenance, or conversely, a reversion to old ways but on a mass scale. In TPM the machine operator performs much, and sometimes all, of the routine maintenance tasks themselves. This auto-maintenance ensures appropriate and effective efforts are expended since the machine is wholly the domain of one person or team. TPM is a critical adjunct to lean manufacturing. If machine uptime is not predictable and if process capability is not sustained, the process must keep extra stocks to buffer against this uncertainty and flow through the process will be interrupted.. One way to think of TPM is "deterioration prevention" and "maintenance reduction", not fixing machines. For this reason many people refer to TPM as "total productive manufacturing" or "total process management". TPM is a proactive approach that essentially aims to prevent any kind of slack before occurrence. Its motto is "zero error, zero work-related accident, and zero loss".

INTRODUCTION Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program concept. Philosophically, TPM resembles Total Quality Management (TQM) in several aspects, such as (1)total commitment to the program by upper level management is required, (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. 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. It is no longer simply squeezed in whenever there is a break in material flow. The goal is to hold emergency and unscheduled maintenance to a minimum.TPM is a maintenance process developed for productivity.

A clear business culture is designed to continuously improve the efficiency of the total
production system (2) known. (3) All departments, influencing productivity, will be involved to move from a reactiveA standardized and systematic approach is used, where all losses are prevented and/or
to a predictive mindset.
(4) (5)
A transparent multidisciplinary organization is reaching zero losses. A steps are taken as a journey, not as a quick menu.
Finally TPM will provide practical and transparent ingredients to reach operational excellence. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) which is one of the key concepts of Lean Manufacturing, challenges the view that maintenance is no more than a function that operates in the background and only appears when needed. The objective of TPM is to engender a sense of joint responsibility between supervision, operators and maintenance workers, not simply to keep machines running smoothly, but also to extend and optimise their performance overall. The results are proving to be remarkable. The goals of TPM are measured using an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) ratio. OEE = availability x performance x Quality rate. Availability = Available time - downtime x 100 Available time
81307114049
Page 58
Downtime can be calculated by adding together the amounts of time lost due to equipment failures, set-up and adjustment, and idling and minor stoppages. Performance rate = Ideal cycle time x Processed Quantity x 100 Operating time Speed losses are calculated by combining time lost due to idling and minor stoppages and time lost due to reductions in speed. Quality rate = Processed Quantity - defective quantity x 100 Processed quantity Defective quantity is calculated by combining defects in process start-up and reduced yield.
Typical calculations for OEE prior to the implementation of Just in Time related strategies usually range between 40% and 50% with the former being the more normal. Experience indicates that it is possible to raise this to between 80% and 90% in a period of some two to three years from start up. However, the improvement will usually follow an almost exponential upward curve with the bulk of the gains being in the latter part of the period. HISTORY TPM evolved from TQM, which evolved as a direct result of DR. W. EDWARDS DEMING'S influence on Japanese industry. Dr. Deming began his work in Japan shortly after World War II. As a statistician, Dr. Deming initially began to show the Japanese how to use statistical analysis in manufacturing and how to use the resulting data to control quality during manufacturing. The initial statistical procedures and the resulting quality control concepts fueled by the Japanese
81307114049 Page 59
work ethic soon became a way of life for Japanese industry. This new manufacturing concept eventually became known as Total Quality Management or TQM.
When the problems of plant maintenance were examined as a part of the TQM program, some of the general concepts did not seem to fit or work well in the maintenance environment. Preventative maintenance (PM) procedures had been in place for some time and PM was practiced in most plants. Using PM techniques, maintenance schedules designed to keep machines operational were developed. However, this technique often resulted in machines being over-serviced in an attempt to improve production. The thought was often "if a little oil is good, a lot should be better." Manufacturer's maintenance schedules had to be followed to the letter with little thought as to the realistic requirements of the machine. There was little or no involvement of the machine operator in the maintenance program and maintenance personnel had little training beyond what was contained in often inadequate maintenance manuals.
The need to go further than just scheduling maintenance in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations as a method of improving productivity and product quality was quickly recognized by those companies who were committed to the TQM programs. To solve this problem and still adhere to the TQM concepts, modifications were made to the original TQM concepts. These modifications elevated maintenance to the status of being an integral part of the overall quality program. The origin of the term "Total Productive Maintenance" is disputed. Some say that it was first coined by American manufacturers over forty years ago. Others contribute its origin to a maintenance program used in the late 1960's by Nippondenso, a Japanese manufacturer of automotive electrical parts. Seiichi Nakajima, an officer with the Institute of Plant Maintenance in Japan is credited with defining the concepts of TPM and seeing it implemented in hundreds of plants in Japan.

IMPLEMENTATION TPM has SIX goals. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Zero Breakdown Zero Defect Zero Losses Zero Accidents Zero Pollution Zero Health Hazard
TPM identifies the 16 losses (types of waste) (muda) and then works systematically to eliminate them by making improvements (kaizen). TPM has 8 pillars of activity, each being set to achieve a zero target. These 8 pillars are the following: focussed improvement; autonomous maintenance; planned maintenance; training and education; early-phase management; quality maintenance; office TPM; and safety, health, and environment. TPM success measurement - A set of performance metrics which is considered to fit well in a lean manufacturing/TPM environment is overall equipment effectiveness, or OEE. To begin applying TPM concepts to plant maintenance activities, the entire work force must first be convinced that upper level management is committed to the program. The first step in this effort is to either hire or appoint a TPM coordinator. It is the responsibility of the coordinator to sell the TPM concepts to the work force through an educational program. To do a thorough job of educating and convincing the work force that TPM is just not another "program of the month," will take time, perhaps a year or more.
Once the coordinator is convinced that the work force is sold on the TPM program and that they understand it and its implications, the first study and action teams are formed. These teams are usually made up of people who directly have an impact on the problem being addressed.
81307114049 Page 61
Operators, maintenance personnel, shift supervisors, schedulers, and upper management might all be included on a team. Each person becomes a "stakeholder" in the process and is encouraged to do his or her best to contribute to the success of the team effort. Usually, the TPM coordinator heads the teams until others become familiar with the process and natural team leaders emerge.The action teams are charged with the responsibility of pinpointing problem areas, detailing a course of corrective action, and initiating the corrective process. Recognizing problems and initiating solutions may not come easily for some team members. They will not have had experiences in other plants where they had opportunities to see how things could be done differently. As an example, in one manufacturing plant, one punch press was selected as a problem area. The machine was studied and evaluated in extreme detail by the team. Production over an extended period of time was used to establish a record of productive time versus nonproductive time. Some team members visited a plant several states away which had a similar press but which was operating much more efficiently. This visit gave them ideas on how their situation could be improved. A course of action to bring the machine into a "world class" manufacturing condition was soon designed and work was initiated. The work involved taking the machine out of service for cleaning, painting, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts, belts, hoses, etc. As a part of this process, training in operation and maintenance of the machine was reviewed. A daily check list of maintenance duties to be performed by the operator was developed. A factory representative was called in to assist in some phases of the process. After success has been demonstrated on one machine and records began to show how much the process had improved production, another machine was selected, then another, until the entire production area had been brought into a "world class" condition and is producing at a significantly higher rate.

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.
THE RESULTS OF TPM Ford, Eastman Kodak, Dana Corp., Allen Bradley, Harley Davidson; these are just a few of the companies that have implemented TPM successfully. All report an increase in productivity using TPM. Kodak reported that a $5 million investment resulted in a $16 million increase in profits which could be traced and directly contributed to implementing a TPM program. One appliance manufacturer reported the time required for die changes on a forming press went from several hours down to twenty minutes! This is the same as having two or three additional million dollar machines available for use on a daily basis without having to buy or lease them. Texas Instruments reported increased production figures of up to 80% in some areas. Almost all the above named companies reported 50% or greater reduction in down time, reduced spare parts inventory, and increased on-time deliveries. The need for out-sourcing part or all of a product line was greatly reduced in many cases.

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. 3. Employees must be empowered to initiate corrective action, and 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. Category TQM TPM

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.
81307114049
Page 65
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.
Motives of TPM
1.
achieved by job enlargement. 3. The use of voluntary small group activities for identifying the
Uniqueness of TPM
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.

PILLARS OF TPM
81307114049
Page 69
5S POLICY :
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 Japanese Term English Translation Organization Tidiness Cleaning Standardization Discipline Equivalent term Sort Systematize Sweep Standardize Self - Discipline 'S'
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 items 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.
81307114049 Page 70
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. This 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.
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.
81307114049
Page 71
KAIZEN POLICY : 1. Practice concepts of zero losses in every sphere of activity. 2. relentless pursuit to achieve cost reduction targets in all resources 3. Relentless pursuit to improve over all plant equipment effectiveness. 4. Extensive use of PM analysis as a tool for eliminating losses. 5. 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 : 1. PM analysis 2. Why - Why analysis 3. Summary of losses 4. Kaizen register 5. Kaizen summary sheet. 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.

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
81307114049 Page 78
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

The six months industrial training at Punjab Tractor Limited had been an awesome experience. Apart from working on the projects and obtaining insights on the application of the theoretical concepts learned in college, industrial training offers a lot of exposure on many aspects of man management. One gets a firsthand experience of what it is like to work in a professional organization where you are responsible and accountable for your own actions. It was an altogether different experience to work in teams with the senior people of the company and to observe the members working constructively to obtain their objectives. One even gets to know how an organization structure is implemented and how communication is carried on between various levels of staff. The success of an industry mainly depends on how well the various departments in the organization coordinate with each other to fulfill the objective of the industry. The sincerity of the individuals at PTL towards their work was outstanding. Even the general manager, senior managers, managers were all conversed with even the smallest problem of the industry and always took necessary steps to solve the problem. The overall knowledge gained by me over the past six months will be extremely helpful in my future professional life. I am indebted to all the people who made my training at PTL a memorable experience.
