The Journey Begins….
On Monday oct 21, 2013 the students of PGDM 1st and final year went for
industry exposure .We reached the Manesar plant in Gurgaon with our
honourable faculty Mr. MANOJ VASHIST and Miss. NAMRATA. We
reached by 1 pm and there Onassis members welcome us with
refreshment. We were divided into 2 groups of 24 people so as to have
individual attention. After that one group headed to the Conference room
and were briefed about the Company by a presentation which covered
company profile, their vision, mission, how they manufacture by Mr. Sushil
Walia and the entire group followed by the Q & A Session which lasted for
an hour. And the other group for plant visit in which we have gone through
the process of product. The honors were done none other than Mr. Rohit
Bhatia (Managing Director) of the Company. Accompanying him Mr. Sushil
Walia (Head-Commercial). With such dignitaries explaining us the world of
Onassis, we were just as grateful. This plant mainly deals in manufacturing
of steerings gear assembly and its child parts. The parts are exported to
major OEM’s worldwide like UK, USA, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Russia
and Japan. After being briefed through the introduction plant, we were
about to explore the India’s most Prestigious Companies.
Hands on approach to Production
Each Group was taken separately and explained functioning of the plant. A
lot of theory is learnt is class regarding how the manufacturing units focus
on Total Productivity, Total Quality, Zero Defect, etc…but by far this was
the first hands on experience on how does a Manufacturing unit or plant
works. Here we are explained about how the assembly line manufacturing
process works.

5. We are introduced to how the stations work in co-ordination to get optimum
results. The students are taken through a complete channel of stations on
the assembly station and the supervisor explaining each of this complicated
process. There was a standard room and metallurgical lab in which all the
products checked out. After that we goes to the assembled parts where rod
tightening machine, final component assembling machines , visual
inspection bench and DAQ System.
The units where the final assembled steerings are manufactured in
assembly lines follow Total Quality Management (TQM) and Total
Productivity Management (TPM). Every sub-unit contributes to the
production. All these techniques add value to the production. Indeed there
is no surprise they improve their quality and reduce time with ever unit of
production of steering gear assembly.
After the visit of a company we had lunch which was purely simple food
provided by them. After that MD of ONASSIS Rohit Bhatia share his
valuable time, knowledge, experience and guide us how to success in
corporate then we all move towards our bus. We also clicked the group
photographs.
Vote of Thanks
On behalf of all the Management and the students we take this opportunity
to thank the entire team of ONASSIS for providing us with the practical
