ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First of all I would like to state that this project has been great learning
experience in my life. Through this training at Maruti Suzuki India
Limited, Manesar, Haryana, I gained valuable insights into the
production process followed at a world class car factory, especially
related to the Assembly Shop and various quality control measures
and their management carried out in automobile industry.
The 800 rolled out of the factory of Maruti Udyog Limited in December
1983 & changed not just India's automobile industry but also the way
people commuted & travelled. Maruti Udyog was established as a
public sector undertaking(PSU) In 1981 to manufacturer cars, following
the nationalization of late Sanjay Gandhi's Maruti motors limited in
1980.

FACILITIES AT MSIL
There are two manufacturing facilities in India, one in Gurgaon and the
other in Manesar, North India.
*subjected to change without any prior notice. T&C applied. All right reserved
under MSIL.
GURGAON PLANT:-
Gurgaon plant has three fully integrated plants. While the three plants
have a total installed capacity 650,000 cars per year, several
productivity improvements or shop floor Kaizens over the years have
enabled the company to manufacture nearly 700,000 cars per year at
the Gurgaon facilities. The entire facility is equipped with more than
150 robots; out if which 71 have been developed in-house. More than
50% of shop floor employees have been trained in Japan.
MANESAR PLANT:-
Manesar facility has been made to suit Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) and
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) global ambitions. Rated high among Suzuki
best plant worldwide the plant was inaugurated in February 2007.
The plant has several in-built systems and mechanisms to ensure that cars
being manufactured here are of good quality. There is a high degree of
automation and robotic control in the press shop, weld shop and paint shop to
carry on manufacturing work with acute precision and high quality. In
particular, areas where manual operations are hazardous or unsafe have
been equipped with robots.
The plant is designed to be flexible; diverse car models can be made here
conveniently owing to automatic tool changers, centralized weld control
system and numerical control machines that ensure high quality and the use
of network integrated techniques so that no process is missed. The plant was
started with an initial capacity of 100,000 cars per year. This is now scaled up
to 550,000 cars per year.
DIESEL ENGINE PLANT:-
Suzuki Power Train India Limited, the diesel engine plant at Manesar is
Suzukis first and MSILs perhaps the only plant design to produce
world class diesel engine and transmission for cars. The plant is under
a joint venture company, called Suzuki Power Train India Limited (SPIL)
in which SMC hold 70% equity with the rest held by MSIL.
This facility has an initial capacity to manufacture 100,000 diesel
engines a year. This will be scaled up to 300,000 engines per year.
The diesel engines manufactured at this plant will also be exported to
SMC companies across the world. This facility too has a high level of
automation. Final inspection of components is done through automatic
measuring and marking machines, which leads to a uniform and error
free production.
R&D Mission:-
To achieve full model development capability for global Suzuki models
by 2016, a fully-fledged R&D center is being developed at a total
investment of Rs. 2000 crores.

a. Press shop
b. Weld shop
c. Paint shop
e. Assembly shop
f. Vehicle inspection
There are two blanking lines; ROSL (Rotary oscillatory shear line) for
rectangular sheets and the other employing die cutting for irregular shapes.
The rectangular sheets are obtained on ROSL while dies are employed to
obtain the required shape sheets. The sequence of operations on the
blanking line is as follows:-
Uncoiling
Cleaning
Levelling
Measuring
Shearing/cutting
Piling/stacking
PRESS SHOP
The press shop can be regarded as the starting point of a car manufacturing
process. The press shop has a batch production system whereas the plants
have a line production system. The press shop maintains an inventory of at
least two days. The weld shop as per their requirement picks the finished
body parts. These may be divided as A, B & C parts. A components are
large outer components, example-Roof, door panels, front hood etc. These
components are manufactured in the press shop at Maruti due to design
secrecy and huge investment requirements. B and C components are
manufactured by joint ventures or brought from vendors. The press shop can
be divided into:
Raw Material Procurement
Blanking at Blanking Line
Stamping at Stamping Line
WELD SHOP
ROBOTS- 139
AUTOMATION LEVEL- 76 %
The body panels produced in the press shop and other small components are
joined here to give the white body or shell. In a typical car body about
1400 different components are welded together. The joining process is
resistance spot welding predominantly.
Welding jigs
Spot welding guns
Hemming machine
Punching machine
PROCESS OUTLINE
The shop has different lines for different models, each of which is further
divided into three parts:
Here different under body panels are welded together. These comprise of
rear under body, central under body and front engine room panels. These
under body panel are prepared on sub lines starting from singular
components. The sub lines have specific jigs for each. Finally these under
bodies are put on the conveyor and are welded together to give under body.
MAIN BODY
The chassis number is punched on the cowl top and it is welded to the front
engine room panel. As the body moves on the conveyor roof and side body
panels are welded to it to give the main body. The side body panels are
prepared on the sub lines.
WHITE BODY
The doors, hood and back door are attached on the main body with the help
of bolts and screw to the main body to make it a white body. The body is
checked for dents, burr and spatter and these defects are repaired.
After inspection and repairs the body is called WBOK that is white body OK. It
is sent to paint shop thereafter.
PAINT SHOP
ASSEMBLY SHOP
There are three assembly shops at MSIL, Manesar, namely, Assembly Plant-
Manesar A (AS-MA), Assembly Plant-Manesar B (AS-MB)and Assembly Plant-
Manesar C (AS-MC).
Apart from the Sub-Assemblies, the main assembly line is divided into
following parts:
Trim Line 1
Trim Line 2
Chassis or Overhead Line
Final Line 1
Final Line 2
Vehicle Inspection
Assembly Touch-up
Each line is further divided into stations which are used to uniquely identify
any part of the line.
FDSA-Front Door Sub-Assembly: Both left and right front doors are
removed from PBOK from paint shop and assembled on this line. Parts
like out rear view mirrors, speakers, locking mechanisms, window
glasses, window regulators and electrical connections are installed
here.
RDSA-Rear Door Sub-Assembly: Both left and right rear doors are
removed from PBOK from paint shop and assembled on this line.
Window glasses, window regulator switches, locking mechanisms,
speakers etc. are installed here.
FIAL-Fiat Line: Diesel engines supplied by Fiat Power train, Pune are
assembled here. Parts like A/C compressor, alternator, VSV, Air filter,
etc. are fitted here.
Trim line 1: PBOK (Paint Body OK) from the paint shop comes to the
Assembly plant with doors fitted. The doors are removed and the main
vehicle body comes to the Trim line 1 first. Various components like
wire harness, Washer tank, etc. are fitted here.
Final line 2: Battery, Battery tray, Doors, etc. is fitted on this line and
systems are checked at further stations.

viii. Final Drive test
Scratches are marking on the surface of a body with a sharp or pointed object. They are
indentified on the PBOK (Paint body OK) of the car, caused by human error,
machine error or there combination. Scratches are usually limited to painted
layer, a scratch is caused when a sharp object removes the paint from the
body in form of a thin line, and however, in extreme cases it can be
accompanied by a dent or paint removal of a large area too. Scratches in this
project refers to minor scratches, caused mainly by human error and are
mainly limited to locations near which operator fits some component with a
torque gun or limit wrench. Exceptions were there but very rare.
c) Look for other areas to repair at the same time- While you may
have one scratch that is bothering you enough to start a repair, it is a
good idea to look for any other areas that could be repaired at the same
time.
Sand in the direction of the scratch. You do not want to create opposing
scratches, which will only create more ridges and valleys in the paint
that need to be repaired.
Periodically rinse the area with water. This will allow you to better see if
you have gotten to the bottom of the scratch.
If the scratch is slightly deeper than the clear coat, use 1500-grit
sandpaper initially to level the surface and then 2000-grit sandpaper to
remove the scratches made by the coarser sandpaper.
Avoid getting dirt or debris between the sandpaper and the vehicle.
This will cause scratching.
c) Rinse the area, making sure that it is clean and dry- Use good
quality and clean microfiber clothes to wipe dry the surface. Remember
that using old rags could simply cause more scratches on the surface of
your car.
b) Polish the area with the rubbing compound- Turn the buffer on its
lowest level and move it around for approximately 10 seconds. You need
to polish the rubbing compound relatively quickly, so that it does not dry
before being smoothed out.
Increase the speed to 2000 RPM and buff for 1 minute. You should be
moving the buffer from side to side and then moving downward slowly.
Continue until the dullness has faded but make sure not to go through
the paint layer. This might take up to 5 minutes depending on the
scratch and your speed and pressure.
Do not buff in the same spot for more than a second. You will scratch
into the next layer if you buff in the same spot too long.
c) Wash the area once again- Use clean water and a towel to remove the
leftover compound residue from the paint surface. If the compound got in
any crevices, use a toothbrush to clean it out. Wipe off the leftover
rubbing compound immediately after buffing. The residue will adhere to
the paint and be more difficult to remove otherwise.
d) Wax the area to seal the paint you have repaired- Apply a good
quality carnauba wax to the surface and then buff the surface with a
random orbital buffer. Finish by washing the area one more time
and make sure that the repaired area is super shiny and repels water
easily.
