Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in 1981 through an act of parliament to manufacture cars in India. MUL launched its first car, the Maruti800, in 1983 at a price of Rs. 47,500. It operates manufacturing plants in Gurgaon and Manesar with an annual production capacity of over 350,000 units. The document goes on to describe various labs and testing facilities at MUL including a polymer testing lab, metrology lab, assembly line, conformity of production testing, and vehicle durability testing. It also provides a brief history of MUL and its partnership with Suzuki Motor Corporation.
2. BRIEF HISTORY &
COMPANY PROFILE
Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established
in Feb 1981 through an Act of Parliament.
MUL launched its first car Maruti800 on
December 14, 1983 at initial price of Rs. 47,500
It is a leading four-wheeler automobile
manufacture in India
Its manufacturing plant is located in Gurgaon
and manesar has a capacity of producing more
than 3,50,000 units per annum
3. POLYMER TESTING LAB
Differential Scanning Calorimeter
It is a thermo analytical technique in which
the difference in the amount of heat
required to increase the temperature of
a sample and reference is measured as
a function of temperature and hence
detect the plastic material
4. METROLOGY LAB
Metrology is the science of measurement. Metrology includes
all theoretical and practical aspects of measurement
Coordinate-measuring machine-
The typical CMM is composed of three axes, an X, Y and
Z. These axes are orthogonal to each other in a typical
three-dimensional coordinate system. Each axis has a
scale that indicates the location of that axis. The
machine will read the input from the touch probe, as
directed by the operator. The machine then uses the
X,Y,Z coordinates of each of these points to determine
precise dimension of the product.
6. ASSEMBLY LINE
An assembly line is a manufacturing
process in which parts are added in a
sequence and the semi-finished
assembly moves from work station to
work station until the final assembly is
produced at the last station.
7. CONFORMITY OF
PRODUCTION
Conformity of Production (COP) is a means
of checking the ability of products that are
produced matches the specification,
performance and marking requirements
outlined in the type approval
documentation. It includes several types of
tests

9. VEHICLE DURABILITY
TESTING
Durability testing is a testing methodology
applied to vehicles, subsystems and components
to determine expected life. With these tests,
real-world forces and motions are applied to a
test specimen in a manner that replicates in-
service conditions. Durability tests are required
to assess and validate product design targets.
Such testing helps to increase repeatability and
reduce risk by providing critical information
earlier in the product development cycle.
