Secondary Data Collection
Secondary data collocation is that uses data that was collected by someone else. In other words,
whenever you conduct research using data that already exists, you are conducting secondary
research. On the other hand, examples of Secondary Data Collection are the following;-
Financial Statements
Sales Reports
Retailer/Distributor/Deal Feedback
Customer Personal Information (e.g., name, address, age, contact info)
Business Journals
Government Records (e.g., census, tax records, Social Security info)
Trade/Business Magazines
The internet
Not published Machine operator written document
Our focused area is most of the time we was span in machine shop and welding shop because
we are manufacturing technology trainers our training is focused in how to assembling materials
by using SMAW and rivet and also we trained machine operation like facing ,turning, threading
,cutting ,bending ,boring and grinding operation by using of lathe machine ,milling machine, face
grinding machine ,tool grinding machine, power shear machine and rolling machine etc. this is
our focused area when we are stay in EEU mechanical shop kotebe branch.

2. OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION
When we go to the company for the first times were visiting all workshops and introducing with
all mechanic and also try to now safety require to all workshops. In the company we could see
the production area which works very closely to achieve our goal during their stay, this kotebe
branch electrical utility vehicle maintenance work shop are there are two main shops and five
sub shops, the main shop are Automotive shop and Mechanical shop. The sub shop are under
auto shop two shops like part servicing and maintenance work shop and vehicles lubrication
workshop and also in mechanical work shop are three sub workshops the name of this work shop
are the first one machine workshop the second one is welding workshop the other is furniture
making workshop.

Before we start working on machines and welding shop are we have to know the following
things.
Safety in the shop - Shop safety means protecting our selves and others from possible danger.
So there are safety rules that we could know carefully. When we work in the shops we should
know the following things first wear PPE, know colure of Shop layout, remove Faulty working
habits, Work clothes, Safety materials.
Measuring tools -Measuring tool that is found in the shop includes calipers, screw pitch gages,
dial gage etc. Caliper are used to measuring thickness and length of work jobs and Screw pitch
is highly fool proof very effective and fairly accurate instrument used to identify or cheek the
pitch of the treads.
Machine maintenance tools - Maintenance work shop tools are tools that are used for fixing
different machine components. Tools that uses in the company are hand tools and power tools.
Hand tools are the mechanics hand supplies the energy to operate them. A hand tool includes
screw driver, hammers, pullers, pliers, wrenches. Power tool means it is operated by electrical,
hydraulic and pneumatic power supply.

Lathe machine is a machine tool that removes the undesired material from a rotating work piece
in the form of chips with the help of a single cutting tool that is traversed across the work and
can be feed deep into the work. The following late machine operation are most of the time
perform in koteba mechanical shop like facing, turning, threading, boring and chamfering, taper
turning ,drilling operations.
6
Drilling (Radial drilling machine) is a material-removing or cutting process in which the multi
cutting tool uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. We also
perform drilling operation in lathe machine too, but drill machine is made for this specific drill
operations, so where we need bulk of drilling operation we go for drilling machine. A drilling
machine is used to form a hole of different sizes on a job 5-25mm diameter drill bit drilling is
perform in the shop. Drilling speed are selected by the following rule and regulation or
variables, Diameter of drill bit, hardness or softness of the work piece, feed and depth of cut.
Electrical punching machine it is one of the basic tools to punch the U-channel mild steel
rectangular, square shape and circular shape depend up on the require design it makes by the
punching die. Most of the tame this U-channel is used for electrical pooling and also the pool are
assembling by bolt and nut each other.
Milling Cutters there are a lot of cutting tools used in the milling process. The milling cutters
named end mills have special cutting surfaces on their end surfaces so that they can be placed
onto the work piece by drilling. These also have extended cutting surfaces on each side for the
purpose of peripheral milling. The milling cutters have small cutters at the end corners. The
cutters are made from highly resistant materials that are durable and produce less friction and
also milling cutting tool multi point cutting tool it used for facing, drilling, countering, boring
and make keyway etc.

2.1.2 Welding workshop
This workshop is one of the basic mechanical workshops of the organization in this shop so
many operation are perform like assembling by using of SMAW welding and sheet metal
forming tools like bending, Rolling machines and also in this shop are occur like cutting
operation by using sheet metal cutting machine, oxy acetylene cutting machine and also multi
cutter cutting machine. The other operation of in this workshop are perform punching operation
by using electro mechanical press machine used to punching square shape ,circular shape depend
up on size of the die shape of the die.
8
X-ray oxyacetylene cutting machine The most common gas welding process the
equipment is relatively inexpensive and simple, generally employing the combustion of
acetylene in oxygen to produce a cutting flame temperature of about 3100 °C
(5600 °F).The flame. We see in this workshop is X-ray oxyacetylene cutting machine this
machine is the basic function is read the paper drawing by X-ray lines after that cut the
required shape either square or circle and any irregular shapes.
Sheet metal forming and cutting machines this is one of the basic important to
manufacturing work because there are four major methods used to shape sheet metal.

2.2 Major activities and products of the mechanical shop
There are so many activities are performing in mechanical shop by using power tools and hand
tools. The main major activities are;
Threading, facing ,turning and gearing by using lath machine and milling machine
LTZ shape Banding operation by using sheet metal bender up to (150-300mm) length
Rolling operation by using sheet metal roller machine thickness of a metal is up to 3.5mm
Welding operation by using SMAW only
Cutting operation by using sheet metal cutter machine and hand tools like hacksaw
Cut any shape (circle, square, irregular shape ) depend up on the given drawing by using
X-ray oxy acetylene cutting machine
The main products of mechanical work shop to give their customers are;

2.3 Organizational structure of the mechanical shop
Organizational structure is the method by which work flows through an organization and allows
groups to work together within their individual functions to manage tasks.
An organizational structure defines how job titles, roles, and responsibilities are assigned within
a company. It helps determine who reports to whom, and who makes decisions about what.
Startups often have a matrix organizational structure, with different departments working
together on projects. The following tables are indicates the organizational structure of
mechanical workshop kotebe branch only;-
Finance office HRM office TQM and Rep office from three shop Auditor office
supervisors
Supervisor Furniture shop Supervisor Machine shop Supervisor Welding shop

3. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED?
3.1 What Procedures have been used while performing tasks?
While performing my tasks at the company, we have watched how everything is going in steps,
and how each task is done by its own working procedure. In this section of my report we will try
to describe some of the procedures we have performed while performing my work task. We have
seen starting from setting out to finishing work. During my internship season there are some
activities that carried out in the company and office those activities are held in this work
procedure
First we accepted any kind of tasks that our supervisor gave it to us
Before performing the task, we study it carefully with compatible things
If we encountered problems to understand the given task, we asked for help the
Professionals around us to understand and too rich on solutions
Then we perform the tasks
Then give to them to check up
After we finished the task we reported to our supervisor
Finally, our supervisor had approved our work

3.3 Improving practical skill
In terms of practical techniques, we have seen that learning theoretically more difficult than
learning in practically, but we realize learning is use full, for every work, and that make us to
understand thing easily. Moreover, we learned simply how to change theoretical knowledge to
practical knowledge. But when we start practicing it was a little beat difficult and after some
time we passed it with the real joy. In this internship we get the:
Ability to identify and select proper material tools, equipment’s and machines
Ability to set tools, work piece and machine for desired operations
Ability to use safety equipment’s and follow safety procedures during operations
When we was learned from internship from mechanical shop there are so many abilities we was
trained like;
Lathe machine facing operation is an operation of machining the end of a work piece that is
perpendicular to the rotating axis to produce the desired part length and a smooth face surface by
removing a thin layer of material.
Lathe turning machine facing operation is the most common lathe machining operation during
the turning process; a single point cutting tool removes material from the outer diameter of a
rotating work piece. The main objective of turning is to reduce the work piece diameter to the
desired dimension.
Lathe chamfering operation is the operation of beveling the extreme end of the work piece.
The form tool used for taper turning may be used for this purpose. Chamfering is an essential
operation after thread cutting so that the nut may pass freely on the threaded work piece.
Lathe Thread cutting operation on the lathe is a process that produces a helical ridge of
uniform section on the work piece. This is performed by taking successive cuts with a threading
tool bit (60 degree) the same shape as the thread form required. In order to produce an accurate
thread, it is important that the lathe, the cutting tool and the work be set up properly. When
cutting right threads, the movement of the saddle with the tool should be from the right to the left
and at the time the spindle rotates in the normal way and when cutting left threads the movement
of the saddle should be from the left to the right.
Welding operation different types of position and joints

Different types of machine operation like drill machine , milling machine and punching
machine

3.6 Understanding work ethics
We understood that the work ethics and what mean conform to the rules. a good person at work
should be disciplined and have to know about rules and regulations of company. We have to start
my work on time and do works honestly, then tolerate all society of the company. The benefit of
the intern ship program was interesting in the development of ethics work habit. We got a lot of
benefits from the factory. These are: -
To be on time at work and leave work by the right time
To be responsible in analyzing and interpreting, gathering of data
In addition to this we practiced the skill of being loyal and honest when doing
professional judgments.
In my opinion the best character of a good leader is not just ordering around his teams but by
coordinating and leading the way and show his/her team how to do it. and I have seen this
quality from the welding operator ,machine operators and supervisors learn from it a lot on how
a great leader should be perform.

5. RECOMMENDATION and CONCLUSION
5.1 Conclusion
In conclusion, we have learned that this internship program helped us greatly to address the gap
and apply the theoretical knowledge we have gained in University to practical skills. Also we
have developed team playing, communications, leadership and interpersonal skills throughout
this internship programs and enabled us to improve our self-confidence. On the other hand, the
universities must work a lot to convince different companies throughout the country the
importance of internship. Generally, the practical attachment has given me the chance to see the
industry environment and gave us practical knowledge.
5.2 Recommendation
Despite the fact that we was in Ethiopia Electrical Utility Vehicles Maintenance Transport and
Administration Workshop Kotebe Branch department mechanical workshop we observed some
faults and we tried to give respective professional recommendations on the quality of products ,
maintenance and perform kiazen principles on the shop and environment by this cause it
happened obstacles of the operators and low quality of our products. Theoretical knowledge of
construction principles is very important. But, the ability to use these fundamental principles to
solve problems at hand is more fundamental. That is why learning to change the ideas into
practice is recommended.
