Liftall
These are the four products which are manufactured at the JCB (Balabhgarh)
plant which is world’s largest plant for the manufacturing of backhoe loaders.
Here,at JCB 75 Backhoe Loaders are produced daily with it’s 5 working days in a
week out of which generally four days are of production & 1 day in a week is NPD
(Non-Production day).On NPD ,there is no production bu t the reworking of the
produced goods are done as well as plant’s inspection takes place.
HOW JCB MACHINE WORKS
The basic idea behind any hydraulic system is very simple: Force that is applied
at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. The
fluid is almost always an oil of some sort. The force is almost always multiplied in
the process.
If two pistons fit into two glass cylinders filled with oil and connected to one
another with an oil-filled pipe. If you apply a downward force to one piston
(suppose the left one ), then the force is transmitted to the second piston through
the oil in the pipe. Since oil is incompressible, the efficiency is very good -- almost
all of the applied force appears at the second piston. The great thing about
hydraulic systems is that the pipe connecting the two cylinders can be any length
and shape, allowing it to snake through all sorts of things separating the two
pistons. The pipe can also fork, so that one master cylinder can drive more than
one slave cylinder if desired.
The neat thing about hydraulic systems is that it is very easy to add force
multiplication (or division) to the system. In a hydraulic system, all you do is
change the size of one piston and cylinder relative to the other, as shown here:
Hydraulic multiplication :Suppose the piston on the right has a surface area nine
times greater than the piston on the left. When force is applied to the left piston, it
will move nine units for every one unit that the right piston moves, and the force is
multiplied by nine on the right-hand piston.
To determine the multiplication factor , start by looking at the size of the pistons.
Assume that the piston on the left is 2 inches in diameter (1-inch radius), while the
piston on the right is 6 inches in diameter (3-inch radius). The area of the two
pistons is Pi * r2. The area of the left piston is therefore 3.14, while the area of the
piston on the right is 28.26. The piston on the right is 9 times larger than the piston
on the left. What that means is that any force applied to the left-hand piston will
appear 9 times greater on the right-hand piston. So if you apply a 100-pound
downward force to the left piston, a 900-pound upward force will appear on the
right. The only catch is that you will have to depress the left piston 9 inches to
raise the right piston 1 inch.
The brakes in our car are a good example of a basic piston-driven hydraulic
system. When we depress the brake pedal in our car, it is pushing on the piston in
the brake's master cylinder.Four slave pistons, one at each wheel, actuate to press
the brake pads against the brake rotor to stop the car. (Actually, in almost all cars
on the road today two master cylinders are driving two slave cylinders each. That
way if one of the master cylinders has a problem or springs a leak, we can still
stop the car.)
In most other hydraulic systems, hydraulic cylinders and pistons are connected
through valves to a pump supplying high-pressure oil.
Circulation of hydraulics in Backhoe Loaders :
(CYCLE OF MANUFACTURING UNIT
AT BALLABHGARH PLANT)
Cycle of manufacturing unit :
Logistics to fabrication :
• First of all,the machined sheets & pre-build parts (e.g., gear assy. Parts,rear axle
assy. Parts & engine etc.) are brought in the logistics area.These parts are given
by different vendors set by the company,(e.g., Engine by Kirloshkar etc.)
• Engines are moved to skid sub-assembly line and the gears & rear –axle parts
are moved to transmission line.
Fabrication Shop :
Paint Shop :
• In paint shop,all the components parts are moved and painted ,then the
painted parts are moved to main frame assembly line.
Main Frame Assembly Line (M-Line) :
The machine parts from paint shop are brought to the main assembly line with
the help of EMS (Electric Monorail System) & cranes.
• This line has 10 zones ,for each zone certain workload is divided.In this line all
the assembling of the main frame is done.Then,this assembled main frame is
moved to the backhoe assembly line with the help of cranes & EMS system.
• At the backhoe assembly line,skid is dropped from the skid sub assembly line.
Skid Sub-Assembly Line : Assembled gear box & rear axle from transmission
line are moved to skid sub-assy. Line.Here, the engine is connected to the gear
box & rear axle.Thus (skid=Engine + Rear axle + gear box).
• The main frame is then dropped on this skid and,then after the process to
process assy. of backhoe starts.
• The main assembly line (A-Line) has 22 zones for each zone certain workload is
divided , just likewise in the main frame assy. line.
Twin-Slat Line :
• At twin-slat line firstly the booms & dippers coming from the Boom/Dipper Sub-
assy. line is attached to the machine and then the different oil filling process in
the machine is done.
PDI AND TESTING ZONE :
• After that,all the machines parts are checked and if any part is missing or
defected,then the list of those parts are made.Then after,the machine goes on for
the U.V.test by which the lower portion of the machine is checked ,wether any
leakage or defect in the hose and feed pipes are not.
• After making the list of all the defects and deformities ,the machine moves in
the reworking zone where all these remedies are solved.
• And,then after final washing,decal pastings & paint touch-ups ,the machine is
green signalled for dispatch.
RAM PAINT SHOP
• It is the shop in which hydraulic rams as well as certain other components of the
machinery parts are painted.These components are :
KPC,LEG,SHAVAL,LIFT,BOOM,DIPPER,CROWD,ST-RAM
• The raw material is fed into the loading zone where they are moved over EMS
system which after then follows the cycle.
• The material which is pre-greased & oiled (to prevent corrosion) is passed
through WATER RINSE-1,where it is bathed with a mixture of water mixed with
chemical.
• Then,the components are passed through activation zone and after that in the
phosphating zone where phosphate coating is done on the surface of the
components.The coating chemical is
Fixodiene 30-L
• Then,the components are moved in the reason water rinsing section-2 &
• The component is moved to masking zone where masking of holes are done to
prevent the inflow of paint in the bores.
• Then,the component is moved to primer booth blower where the component is
coated with the primer.
• The components are then moved to top-coat booth blower where final coating
of the paint is done and then the components are moved in the baking zone
where the components are baked in the oven having temperature in the range of
(90-95) degree celcius.
• The components are then unloaded in the unloading zone and then prepared to
move to different sections of the manufacturing lines.

DECAL PASTING
This is the project based on time - to – time study of each and every worker
working on the main frame line & assembly line for the manufacturing of a single
machine.
In this project, a simultaneous time was to be taken based on the work load of a
single worker working on the line.
For which , we have to take the individual time for a single worker depending
upon the time he devotes in doing his work
& the time he devotes in walking which comes under NVA (Non-value added )
work.
Thus , keeping in view all the above working parameters , we noted down each
individuals time dividing everyone’s time in the three categories mentioned
there are 38 workers on the assembly line which are casual & 37 workers on the
assembly line which are permanent with each one’s individual time, which will be
compared with the tact time of the machine & whatever methods to be adopted
will be done to increase their efficiency as well as to increase the production line.
STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE :
This is the operation which is the base of any manufacturing unit because it is the
working parameter based on which the workers have to do their work to produce
a single machine.
Firstly, we had to study the whole processing of the JCB machine manufacturing
from main frame line to main assembly line and then to twin-slat line.
And after that , studying the SOP of each & every sub-assemblies.
Thus , after studying the each & every motion of the process , we have to modify
& update the sop of the whole assembly line in which we have to see that
Wether , any operation or operator is left out or any operator is extra which can
be sorted out or can be indulged into any extra work.
Thus , this was our project based on the STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE.
TEMPERATURE STUDY OF THE WHOLE
MANUFACTURING UNIT
In this project , we have to take the temperature of some specified zone of the
whole plant on the daily basis with the help of a digital thermometer.
By taking the temperature of each & every zone , we came under the conclusion
of the fatigue level under which different workers of the whole plants are
working.
Thus , making a conclusion of the areas which are to be concerned in which the
worker’s fatigue level could be decreased.
Thus ,we came under conclusion that area such as machining area ,
some sub –assy., & transmission line are relatively hotter than other
zones . Thus , something is to be done there .
WORK COMBINATION TABLE :
The key notion for the elimination of waste and the effective combination of
work on the shopfloor is the separation of machine work and human work.
When we observe the work in which operators handle machinery, then that
work can be classified into machine or human work.
Understanding the separation of human and machine work is the basis for
understanding the interface between these two elements.
If operators are merely observing the machine working then this is the waste of
“Waiting” and should be eliminated.which a team member is responsible.
Human work
This refers to work that cannot be completed without human effort. For
Example ,
• picking up materials
• putting materials onto a machine
• operating the controls of a machine
• manual slaving
Machine work
This refers to work or incidental work that equipment, which has been started
by human hand, automatically performs operations.
• Milling
• Auto riveting / bolting
• Auto inspection (Hole probes) etc.
Just about everyone knows that the economy is bad. Organizations are laying off
employees by the tens of thousands, and realistically, most of the time this
becomes just a numbers game. If we get rid of X number of people, it will impact
the bottom line of the organization by Y amount.
Typically, this is not the case. Often organizations end up spending more or
incurring additional waste as a result of staff reductions. Processes can become
broken and often do not function properly because knowledgeable people have
been let go, and the people that remain, do not know what to do. Confusion is
rampant – with everyone wondering what needs to be done and how it will
happen with fewer people. The word “reorganize” is everywhere; to the point
where we are reorganizing so much, we never become organized.
This is where understanding the tools of Lean & Lean Six Sigma becomes
invaluable. If companies want to reduce costs and waste in an organization, that
is the heart of Lean and Lean Six Sigma.
One of the best tools that can be used is the Value Added/Non Value Added flow
analysis. Upwards of 80% of most processes consist of non-value added activities.
