 PREFACE
This industrial training report is based on, which we performed after completion of 16 weeks
of industrial training at PROTEC and PANCHNATH AUTO PVT LTD. It is a crucial
requirement to know the business in all respect for diploma students. It can be acquired after
achieving practical training in industries.

Being a student of Mechanical Engineering we wished to gain experience in the various

aspects of working in the industry. Our primary goal was to gain some insight into methods
of assembly and production and during our time at the industry, we have achieved it to some
extent. It was a good learning experience and will stand good in the future.

Practical study plays a vital role in the field of education. It has been introducing for us to get
practical knowledge along with the theoretical knowledge. How management principles are
implemented in business can only be known through practical study, through visit. We learnt
about the industrial environments like problems and opportunities.

Practical knowledge in the best experience was the key getaway and on that basis we can
comprehend all aspects of the business. Based on the theory, we got trained on how to
perform without practical knowledge outcome consequently.

The report covers the details of personal management, marketing management, financial
management, and other general information about the company.

Given above, we were placed for our industrial training purpose in PROTEC and
PANCHNATH AUTO PVT LTD, situated at shaper – Rajkot, which is a highly reputed
manufacturing company. The project report consists of the activity carried out by us, during
the training period. The objective for the industrial training was to gain practical experience
by implementing practically whatever we had learned during our academic year of the course.

 ABSTRACT
Industrial internship/training organized by the department is a part of the 6th Semester gives
exposure to students knows about the real-life application of various subjects in the industry,
which we get a chance to work with industries and get practical knowledge of working in
industries as an employee. In daily life, all the companies thrive to improve performance and
their reputation.

This industrial experience motivates and guides students to get adopted as a professional in
the workforce. In every industry assembly line layout design is an important task which
affects the production of the company. In this training, we learn about how to assemble the
tractor and the process & system of manufacturing of the part, testing of the product. We
work in a practical view.

All the departments and their respective workers work together as united to carry the
company forward in the future. The employees gave some brief information on management
and gave guidelines on safety rules & regulation for industrial training and how to behave in
the areas where engine testing and maintenance is going on. We also learn about how to
manage the relationship between the workers and the supervisor. It’s wonderful that we got a
chance to work among such kind of workers and got practical knowledge. This project
addresses the productivity improvement of the manual assembly line by making the use of
operation analysis in the assembly line for the tractor manufacturing company.

A methodology is proposed that help to improve the productivity by the implementation of

various techniques such as task-based techniques, product based techniques, material based
techniques, lean production, etc. such approaches help in redesigning of the assembly line can
help in proper space utilization, reducing of the assembly transportation and also reduce time.

The required data can be obtained from the company such as various charts for study,
assembly line layout; Etc. This Company is in collaboration with Mahindra and Mahindra
Ltd. They assemble tractors under the name Mahindra. By application of such things in the
automotive company, we can get much-improved production which can increase the
productivity of the company.

1. Inspection department: its work is to inspect the raw material before grinding and after
grinding. The purpose of doing inspection of raw material before grinding is to check the
quality of raw material.
2. Maintenance department: as the name itself suggest about the work done by this
department, generally all type of maintenance is done by this department. However, the
machine maintenance like preventive maintenance, daily maintenance, weekly
maintenance, monthly maintenance and yearly maintenance is done by machine operator.
3. Production department: it is also known as grinding zone. It grinds the raw material
into desired form once it gets inspected by the inspection team. However, after grinding,
the rollers are again inspected by inspection team as well as by QC department so that the
quality of products in maintained.
4. QC/standard room: This department handles those parameters of tapper rollers which
can’t me measured directly by any meter. So they use their own built software in order to
check the production.
5. Admin department: The admin department takes care of all the paper work done in the
industry. It is their responsibility to gather all the data and keep it safe. They keep data in
hard copy for three months. Then they make soft copies of data and save it to different
storages devices. The data which is more than three months older and is in hard copy is
thrown away.
6. Raw material department: This department checks whether the raw material came from
other industries is free from defects or not. They also decide the ranges of different
parameters of the tapper roller in which it is to be grinded. If the raw material is having
defects in it then during grinding also these defects will be visible and the buyers will
reject the grinded material.
7. Dispatch department (Logistics): This department handles the selling of production
done by the production department. The material which is QC passed is weighed by the
dispatch department and loaded to the trucks coming from buyer industries.

1.4 Manufacturing of product details:

Department of Mechanical Engineering School of Diploma Studies RK University Page 20

 The main process carrying out in the factory is grinding. The tapper rollers (raw
material) generally comes from two industries named, Ravi PVT.LTD and Apple
PVT.LMD.
 Tapper rollers have some parameters. The grinding should be done within the range of
these parameters. The range is decided as per the series number of the rollers by the
inspection team. It is the duty of production unit that these ranges of different
parameters should not get violated while grinding.
 Tapper rollers have different parameters that are described below, even the meters that
are used to measure them are shown with them.
1. Outer diameter (Big OD): it is the outer diameter of the roller.
2. Tapper (Small OD): it is the ovality of the surface of the roller.
3. Ovality: it is the deviation in ovality of the outer diameter of the roller.
4. Length: it the height of the roller from big OD to small OD or vice versa.
5. Face: it the upper surface of roller from big OD.
6. Run out: it is the deviation in surface of the face.
7. Indent: it is the inner part of the face.
8. Indent diameter: it is the diameter of the indent. It is always less than the big OD.
9. Indent depth: it is the depth of the indent from the face’s surface.
10. Radius: it the imaginary line that starts from big OD and ends on small OD but can
be made to meet at single point which is center for both the OD’s.

 1.5 Manufacturing process:
 Manufacturing process is divided into eight different processes mentioned below:
1. Shot blasting
2. Oiling
3. Rough grinding
4. Semi-finish grinding
5. End face grinding
6. Finish grinding
7. Online visual inspection
8. oiling

 Shot blasting: the raw material/tapper rollers that come for grinding are so rough that
they damage the grinding tools a lot if they are directly sent for grinding. Hence, the raw
material is first sent to shot blasting machine in which they are forced to strike with the
small spherical metal balls. These balls when strike with rollers at high speed, they
remove the roughness present on the surface of tapper rollers making them somewhat
smoother for grinding.

 Oiling: it is the process in which the shot blasted tapper rollers (forging rollers) are oiled
in order to protect them from corrosion.

 Rough grinding: it is the first step of grinding process of forging rollers. The machine
used to carry the process is named as “Centerless grinding machine”. The range in which
the forging rollers are to be grinded is from 130um to 140um and the ovality should be
from 0 to 4um. The size of forging rollers depends on the series and type of the roller.
However, normally the size of the forging rollers varies from 230um to 250um.

 Semi finish grinding: it is as same as rough grinding process but the range of grinding
decreases to 50um to 55um and the ovality should be from 0 to 3um.

 End face grinding: it is totally different from the above two processes. This process is
carried by the machine named, end face grinding machine in which the upper face of the
roller is grinded. In this machine, some different parameters of the rollers are to be taken

Department of Mechanical Engineering School of Diploma Studies RK University Page 28

 cared like length should be from 27.950mm to 28.050mm and the face runout should be
less than 12um. These parameters are measurable by the machine operator with the help
of dial. Radius should be from 127mm to 140mm. Roughness average should be less than
2um. However, these parameters can’t be measured from any instrument directly by the
machine operator. Therefore, samples from the production line are taken by the machine
operator and sent to standard room for checking of these parameters. However, different
rollers have different ranges of same parameters.

 Finish grinding: it is as same as rough and semi finish grinding but here the size
decreases to 1um-4um.

 Online visual inspection: after completing all four processes, the rollers are passed
through a channel for visual inspection in which rollers having dent marks on dimple as
well as on surface, blind rollers, corroded, etc. are taken out from the channel.

 Oiling: the grinded rollers are oiled in order to protect them from corrosion.
