Abstract: As a Mechanical Engineering Student I am very interested in automobile Engineering. I always keen to learn different mechanisms used in vehicles, I used to watch animated videos on YouTube about automobile mechanisms like Differential, Automatic transmission gearbox etc, but I never watched it in real. So, it was a great opportunity for me to do two weeks internship at Mercedes-benz Service centre, Ambli, Ahmedabad. The internship was concentrated on the car services. At the beginning of the internship I had several queries in my mind regarding the different technologies used in Mercedes-benz and what skills are needed in organization. During my internship several queries are cleared by doing some activities. The objective of this internship is to understand working of different mechanisms, to get knowledge of regular services and the major-minor problem that can be observed in day to day life. Apart from technical knowledge, I also learnt rules and safety instruction, Inventory management, Quality Control. I realize the responsibility of technicians working on the car. So, this internship was a great experience. I found out how much I am strong in automobile field. I gained new knowledge and skills and met many new people. Working together with people having different background and education was great experience. I also accompanied by other 2-3 students who were also on industrial training, so it was nice knowledge sharing. I achieved many of my learning goals. I got insight into the work of an organization. At last this internship has given me new insights and motivation to pursue a career in mechanical engineering.

5. Conclusion
About TVS:
TVS is a community that does not require any introduction.
But it is required to know about the organization that grooms over
thousands of individuals across the nation. The TVS motor company
started in 1978 is now the third largest two wheeler manufacturer in
India with a turnover of 1.7 USD in 2015-16 fiscal year. TVS can be
considered a company with pan world presence as it is present in about
60 different countries spanning in five continents.
It is also the second largest exporter in India. The TVS family employs
thousands of people from various parts of the nation. The organization is
has three plants in India at Hosur , Mysore and Nalagarh. It also owns a
plant in Karwang, Indonesia.
Plant 1 :
The plant-1 with a capacity of 1.09 million rolls out scooters
like Jupiter, Wego and mopeds like XL 100 and XL heavy duty.
As an OEM company TVS motor has many suppliers that provide it the
various small parts and castings required. The machining unit machines
the various parts like crank cases ( LH and RH) , cover variator, cylinder
block and cylinder head. The machining unit is the supplier for the
engine assembly unit, paint shop and vehicle assembly unit. The engine
4. assembly unit assembles the various parts in engine (180 parts on an
average) and supplies them to the vehicle assembly section.
Salient features :
The overall plant layout is of combined with a product layout for
each and every unit within it.
Provision of PPEs for the operators play a major role in reducing
in avoiding fatigue for the employees and also prevents accidents.
Problem identified :
The supply of kitting bins made of plastic is said to have increased the
plastic burr in engine and in the vehicle thereby contaminating the same.
Suggestions :
Instead of using plastic bins, properly woven steel bag like units with
proper stories can be used to palletize the entire parts(Just like CKD)
required for assembling a vehicle thereby reducing handling.
Plant-2:
The plant with a capacity of 1 million rolls out motorcycles like
Star city+, Victor (old and new), Phoenix, Jive. As the plant-1
the plant also has the same five units namely
1. Machining unit
2. Fabrication unit
3. Engine assembly
4. Painting
5. Vehicle assembly
5. Salient features :
The painting process followed in the plant-2, facilitates
less rework thereby increasing the productivity of the
painting unit.
The usage of TMOS facilitates standardization of
operations thereby creating a part family.
Problem identified :
The transportation of the frame work
through trolleys remains a problem
Suggestion :
The use of overhead conveyors can reduce the
traffic congestion at important sites and also can help in
focusing the labour time in a more productive way.
Plant-3
The plant-3 with a capacity of 0.69 million units produces
critical parts like gears(both primary drive and driven ) and
cam shafts for the vehicles produced in the Hosur plant.
Salient features :
The SQF and CGCF are the highlights of the plant as they
play the major role of hardening the gears and shafts that
are the critical parts of the two wheelers.
6. Problem identified :
The handling of gear blanks and the
finished gears with plastics bins to palletize contaminates them.
Suggestions :
A suitable unit load carrying equipment for
handling the gears should be designed and implemented if
contamination exceeds the prescribed level.
Conclusions :
Various problems were identified and the following
are suggested as remedies:
Steel bags for palletizing various parts of the vehicle.
Specially designed unit load carrying equipment for
handling the gears.
The use of overhead conveyors for reducing handling and
traffic at critical points.
Quoting various thirukkural verses at vantage points in the
plants so as to have a better reach and connect with the
employees rather than using foreign terms like Kaizen,
Jishu hozen etc.
