The document summarizes an engineering project completed by the author from June to August 2012 at Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, India. During the project, the author employed skills in design software, engineering drawing, mechanics, machine design, materials science, and other fields to design a jig and fixture. The total estimated cost to manufacture the machine was calculated to be between 406,259 and 486,259 Indian rupees. A profit calculation determined using this machine would earn estimated yearly savings/profits of 73,031.86 rupees.

Ø I
did
this
project
from
28
June
2012
to
11
August
2012
at
Integral
Coach
Factory,
Chennai
(India).
Ø During
this
project
I
employed
knowledge
skills
of
design
software
CATIA,
engineering
drawing
basics,
concepts
from
mechanics,
machine
design,
Material
Science,
Strength
of
Materials,
Fluid
Mechanics
and
Electronics.
Ø The
total
cost
of
the
actual
machine
was
worked
out
to
be
Rs
185,823
to
Rs
235,823
for
the
Jig
and
Rs
220,436
to
Rs
250,436
for
the
fixture,
i.e.,
a
total
bill
of
Rs
406,259
to
Rs
486,259
was
estimated.
Ø In
order
to
calculate
the
advantages
of
this
machine
a
profit
calculation
was
done
and
it
was
found
that
using
this
machine
would
earn
savings/profit
of
Rs
73,031.86
per
