ABOUT BHARAT WAGON

Bharat Wagon & Engineering Company Limited (“BWEL” or “the Company”) is a subsidiary of Bharat Bhari Udyog Nigam Limited (BBUNL) and is engaged in the manufacture of Railway Wagons, Sugar Mill Machines & Steel Fabrications and Project Equipment. The entire equity component of BWEL is held by BBUNL and the company is under the administrative control of the Department of Heavy Industries (DHI).

BUNL in consonance with DHI has decided to disinvest up to 74% or 100% of its holding in BWEL in favour of a strategic/joint venture who would provide technological inputs, marketing support, managerial skills and fresh funds and such other assistance to BWEL as may be required to ensure healthy and consistent financial performance. This would complement the existing strengths of WHEL in possessing a team of skilled and highly experienced personnel and a well-respected brand among wagon manufacturers in the country.

The administrative control of M/s BWEL was incorporated in 1978, by an Act of Parliament, through the nationalization and subsequent amalgamation of two erstwhile companies. Arthur Butler & Co. located at Muzaffarpur and Britannia Engineering Works located at Mokamah. The decision of the Government was driven by the industrial sickness in both the companies, which had forced the government to take over their management. Subsequently, in 1983 a third unit was added at Industrial Estate (Bela) Muzaffarpur for manufacturing LPG cylinders. In 1986, BWEL was made a wholly owned subsidiary of Bharat Bhari Udyog Nigam (BBUNL) which is the holding company for 9 nationalized companies in the heavy engineering sector and comes under the auspicec of the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

BWEL is headquartered at Patna and has two regional offices in Delhi and Kolkata. The company has manufacturing unit at Mokamah, Bela and Muzaffarpur. The company is primarily engaged in the manufacturing of Railway Wagons. As a diversification measure the company has also entered into Steel Structures. Bridge Fabrications, Oil Tanks, Sugar Mill Equipment, Canal Gates and other Misc, Project Equipment.

The Units at Mokamah and Muzaffarpur have received the ISO-9002 certification for wagon manufacturing. The company has achieved a number of distinctions in the area of productivity including the Indira Gandhi Memorial

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

M/S BHARAT WAGON & ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED is a Government of India undertaking under the ministry of Heavy Industry Department of bureau of public Enterprises, Govt. of India. The Govt. of India undertaking was incorporated under the company act, 1956 on the 4th day of December, 1978 with an authorized capital of rupees five crores. Bharat Wagon and Engineering Company Limited comes into being in terms of the Britannia Engineering Company Limited (Mokama unit) and Arthur Butler and Company Limited (Muzaffarpur) under the acquisition and transfer of undertaking of Britannia Engineering Company Limited. Mokama unit & Arthur Butler & Company Limited (Muzaffarpur) with retrospective effect from 1st of April, 1978.

The Britannia Engineering Company Limited Was incorporated in 1917 with its registered office at Calcutta. It owned an engineering unit at Titagarh (where it manufactured road rollers. Jute mills machinery unit and other industrial unit) & also a steel foundation at Titagarh and third unit , which was set in 1960 at Mokama to manufacture railway wagons. The engineering unit at Titagarh closed down in 1970 and on 22nd may, 1976 its management was taken over by the Central Government & interested to M/S Westing House Farmers Limited, Calcutta, a company being managed by the Government has taken complete financial and managerial responsibilities for managing the Titagarh unit. The Wagon unit at Mokama closed down in March 1973. The Central Government took over its management on 10th February 1974 under the Industrial Development and Regulation Act and the unit was reopened on 22nd of February 1974. When it was closed down in March 1973 it employed 888 persons.

This labor was confirmed to then industrial establishment located in North East region of India. It was not like a modern industry as we see understanding about a unit today. It was indigo industry based on agricultural product, which intricate blue colour, a product of indigo cultivation by means of smaller plants. In 2nd district gazetteer of Muzaffarpur district 1958, Much encouraged by the remunerative aspect Mr. Arthur also thought to have his permanent establishment somewhere. The first did setup small shop that sheds with

17

smithy devices something at samastipur, then a central place of communication during those days and then enthusiast Mr. Butler also joined him and began working as two friends doing the same business.

They could pull their resources and began working as partners in course of time, their work expanded and the place proved in sufficient to the requirement. They moved their place of business from samastipur to Muzaffarpur (a place situated in 27’7’ North latitude and 85’24 East longitude is in the central place of north Bihar) a few yards away from present location of the factory. They began doing bigger volume of business and the smaller firms fasts developed into shed. They went yards away from present location of the factory. They began doing bigger volume of business and the smaller firms fasts developed into bigger shed. They went on adding to their small unit, different sections and then their industrial venture took a factory form.

Mr.L.S.S.O.Malley I.C.S. mentioned in the first district gazetteer of Muzaffarpur district (1907) M/s Arthur Butler Company as only engineering workshop registered under the factories act having 107 employees on hand already started its industrial activities as the only modern industrial world.

Mr. P.C. Roy writes in the 2nd district gazetteer of Muzaffarpur district (1958) that in the last quarter of the 19th century, the development of the artificial days, which freely imported from abroad, affected the prospect of the indigo industry severally sit lost the ground. But the Arthur Butler venture being in the form of the factory followed. Other industries. One more advantage was with them that they were English people and every industrial activities was being owned and managed by the English people themselves.

Arthur Butler started a new line of business of making screw piles having steel as superstructures there on which could be easily installed, dismantled and shifted was the course changed given by 1910. It expanded as bigger partnership concern.

By 1919, it was registered under joint stock Company Act as a company and also fixed up its workshop at the present site of the factory just adjacent to Muzaffarpur Railway station. Arthur Butler and Company has been also famous for civil works and they were experts in designing screw piles all the fabricated steel bridge in Northern India stand over today as a symbol.

18

By 1925 when most of the factories used to import machines from England even minor parts of the sugar industries, the efforts of Arthur butler where credit worth of the management development production from repair side of business

It was the year 1938 in which it used to pay heavy dividend to its shareholders. During the 2nd world war it expanded so much so that it could acquire a plant of its own which was used by Mr. H.M. Wealthevall. It also expanded its employment roughly about one thousand persons.

Managing agents changed after 1943, from Balmer Lawrie Co.Ltd. to purchase the company. The English shareholder sold their shares and virtually repatriated from India. The Bihar Motor Service section was also closed and new line of repaint. Railway goods wagon and managing agent.

The Bharat Brothers controlled the management, however, till act for 1954, the management changed hands and Kakrania and sonthalli as purchase the shares and owned the company only small part of the share of the company were in the market and it was easy for them to sell off the ownership. The two groups formed a managing system which was obliged by virtue of amendments to the India Companies Act, 1968. Since them it began to be managed by a Board of 4 Directors consisting of always the family namely Kakranias and Sonthallias.

During this period the Government decided to stop import of railway goods Wagons and this gave big impetus to Indian factories to develop wagon building. Arthur Butler Company being ideally situated on the meter gauge railways head at Muzaffarpur and doing the repairing railways.

Work till 1954 took advantage of the opportunity and it did expand its workshop to take up the new railway job. In course of time they brought suitable new machines and arranged to build all types of railway wagons.

During the peak period, 1960-1965, it employed even about 1300 persons. In 1967 when the company faced the situation during the general recession.

Raw materials in wagon manufacturing can be broadly divided into two categories:

(a) DM components, being components, which are inspected by the RDSO before they are supplied to us and

(b) Non-DM components, being low value components, which are the procured locally and do not require RDSO inspection.

Common DM components include steel, bogies, coupler sets, air brake equipment, air brake pipe, wheelsets, slack adjuster, nylon bush, door check spring, bearing, twist lock, draw gear (quick draw) and draw bar.

Principal raw materials for our mining machines are flat steel products, such as steel plates. We normally source our entire requirement from suppliers such as SAIL and TISCO. We also require high tensile steel plates, which are sourced from dealers of major companies in India or abroad. We require forgings and castings, which we normally source from locally available forging manufacturers in addition to manufacturing casting at our in-house foundry. We have an arrangement with komatsu Mining Germany (Demag) for supply of components and spares required for heavy earth moving and mining equipment. We import components such as hydraulics and gear boxes for our heavy earth moving mining equipment from komatsu Mining Germany, Rexroth, Carraro and also several other reputed companies in India and abroad. We source our requirements of cylinders and engines for our machines from indigenous sources.

In the Railway Budget for 2008-09, it was announced that Indian Railway will procure around 20,000 wagons. In addition to demand from Indian Railways, demand for wagons from public sector companies such as National Aluminum Company Limited (?NALCO?), National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (?NTPC?), Container Corporation of India Limited (?CONCR?), etc. has also been picking up. Companies such as NALCO, NTPC, etc. Procure wagons for their in-house utilization where as CONCOR procures container flats for container transportation purposes. The demand of wagons has further been bolstered by the wagon Investment Scheme (?WIS?), which was implemented by Indian Railway wef April 1, 2005.

Wheel sets are one of the most critical components in wagon manufacturing and the approximate cost of wheel sets as a percentage of the total selling price of wagon for non Indian Railway customers is almost 30-35%. The prices of wheel sets, are significantly dependent on prices in the international market and their global demand and supply situation. To manage the cyclical fluctuations in the prices of wheelsets, we have developed relationship with a number of RDSO approved vendors in countries such as China, Spain, Brazil and Switzerland. We placed order with such vendors, based on our outstanding order book position and based on the delivery requirements of our customers. Due to significant price fluctuation of wheelsets in the global markets and current global shortage, we endeavour that our non-Indian Railway customers? Open letters of credit against our purchase orders with our approved vendors directly. In order to reduce the risk of price fluctuation of wheelsets and to ensure continuous supply of wheelsets for our production, we are planning to setup an axle machining and wheelset assembly plant at an estimated cost of Rs 129.33 mn. The assembly plant will have an assembly capacity of 10,000-12,000 wheelsets per annum. We believe an axle machining and wheelset assembly shop would give us a cost advantage with respect to savings in freight charges and would also give us greater operational continuity.

Non-DM components such as horizontal levers and safety plates, being low value components, are procured locally and require no RDSO inspection. Suppliers of Non-DM components are approved as per guidelines specified in our quality assurance manual and in accordance with the requirements.

FACILITY PROVIDED BY INDIAN RAILWAY

New Delhi During 2009-10, the Indian Railway plan to acquire 18,000 new wagons against 11,000 in 2008-09. Announcing this in Parliament today, the Minister of Railways, Mamata Banerjee, said that there was a growing demand for wagons in Indian Railways.

The ministry also proposes to take over the wagon units of Burn Standard Co. Ltd. (BSCL) and Braithwaite & Co. Ltd. (BCL), under the Ministry of Heavy Industries. During the year 2008-09, the Government released Rs 8-38 crore to BSCL, Rs 3.76 crore to BCL for modernization and production facilities.

During 2008-09, BSCL has registered a net loss of 199.92 crore INR (Prov.) and a loss of 151-29 crore INR during 2007-08 (Actual). During 2008-09, BC has registered a net profit of 1.42 crore INR (Prov.) and a profit of 0.55 crore INR during 2007-08 (Actual).

The proposal to acquire 18,000 new wagon is good news for the domestic wagon manufacturing firms.

VRS Natarajan, CMD, BEML felt that the budget was very encouraging and would increase the business of coach builders and manufacturers.

The minister also proposed premium freight service for container movement with assured transit time and a mega logistic hub alongside eastern and western dedicated freight corridors.

26

MARKETING OF RAW MATERIAL

The wagon manufacturers are not unduly worried over supply of raw materials such as steel and wheels by the Railways. Some of the wagon manufacturers express their reservation about the Railways plans to acquire the wagon units of Burn Standards and to set up a new coach factory in Kanchrapara (West Bengal).

The two wagon units of Burn Standards employ about 1,000 people – 700 in Burnpur Factory and 300 in Howrah factory. Together the units produce about 1,000 wagons a year. In 2008-2009, the company posted a cash profit of a little over Rs 5 crore (unaudited) on a turnover of about Rs 175 crore, of which the share of the wagon units will be about Rs 80 crore.

Meanwhile, Mr. Pawan K. Rui, Chairman, Jessop & Company, in a statement said, Jessop being a manufacture of EMU coaches for several years would not only welcome the proposed an EMU coach factory at Kanchrapara but would also be keen to share the experience in this regard.

More than 60 par cent jump in the wagon procurement target would also a boon to Jessop, now ready with improved designs of wagons and aluminium wagons. According to Mr Umesh Choudhary, Managing Director, Titagarh Wagons, the dedicated railway freight corridor project would be a game changer for the logistics industry and the economy.

The project’s emphasis on light-weight specialized wagons is important for Titagarh Wagons set to enter the manufacture of aluminium wagons manufacturing.”

Titagarh Wagons, in collaboration with Freightcar America, is designing a prototype for aluminium wagons in the country. It is expected to be ready by December.

In case of EMU coaches, the company has bagged its first set of orders for six rakes from the Railways and expects order flow to increase in view of the Minister’s proposal to increase frequency of local and short-distance EMU trains.

27

After the heightened expectations in the run up to the Railway Budget, the announcements made on Friday may have come as a dampener. With no roll back of the increase in freight charges, the Budget did not provide much of an impetus, on the lines expected by Corporate India. But it does spell positively on companies associated in the business of making railway related goods.

Companies such as BEML, Texmaco and Titagarh Wagons that are in the business of making wagons, EMU and metro coaches stand to benefit from the announced addition of 18,000 wagons (as against 11,000 in FY09) to Indian Railways fleet in the current year.

The announcement of new train services, refurbishment of older coaches and the intended introduction of high-capacity air-conditioned double-decker trains will also bode well for these wagon manufactures. The setting up of a new coach factory for manufacturing 500 coaches a year in Kanchrapara in West Bengal may not pose significant competition to the players as the Railways (according to industry estimates) is expected to acquire 1,00,000 wagon units in the 11th Five year Plan.

Such a high wagon procurement target may result in all the players getting meaty orders.

That the planned investment outlay by the Railways has been increased to Rs 40,745 crore is also a positive for other railway-related stocks. The budget has increased its allocation (compared with the one made in the interim budget) for new lines from Rs 1,100 crore to Rs 2,921 crore.

In addition, even though the budget did not spell out definitive plans for taking the dedicated freight corridors forward, that the Ministry continues to focus on it also reflects well for these container operators. Players such as Concor and Gateway distriparks, give their cold chain initiatives may also benefit from the proposed development of cold storage facilities for farmers to store vegetables and fruits.

PROCESS OF SELLING

The orders in hand with the BBUNL Group of Companies as on 01.04.2007 were Rs. 711,61 crores (gross value) and Rs. 515.57 crores (billable value),

28

excluding the nonmoving order of BSCL/Howrah Works worth Rs. 15.05 crores (gross) and Rs. 13.10 crores (billable), respectively.

During the year under report, the BBUNL Group of Companies secured new orders aggregating to Rs. 537.52 crores (gross value) comprising of Rs. 410.02 Crores (gross value) from the Railways and Rs. 127.5 crores (gross value) for non-Railway products, including.

The summary of order booking/executed by BBUNL Group in major product categories during the financial year 2007-08 is as follows.

The actual production (gross) during the year amounted to Rs. 499.71 crores against the available orders.

11.05 Orders for 2038 VUs wagons were bagged from the Railways and 20 VUs wagons from Non Railway customers during the year under report.

12.0 EXPORTS

12.01 New export order worth Rs. 3.43 crores was secured by BSCL during.

worth Rs. 3.43 crores was secured by BSCL during the year.

under report.

12.02 Export/Sales turnover of the BBUNL Group of Companies during the year achieved to the tune of Rs. 12.05 crores against the previous year amounting to Rs. 8.48 crores.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS & OUTGO

During the year under report, earnings in foreign currency of the Company, as stand-alone entity, were Rs. 3.97 crores on account of export sales. There was no outgo of foreign currency during the year.

RELATIONSHIP WITH DEALERS

Pay revision (due from 01.01.1997) for execu tives could not take place in the major subsidiaries. Also, wages in some subsidiaries could not be revised. This

29

impending pay/wage revision and non-uniform pay structure across the Group companies caused unrest among the employees concerned. Further, inability of one of the subsidiaries to pay wages and other statutory/terminal dues in time also caused dissatisfaction to the employees.

However, industrial relations continued to be cordial during the year under review.

Texmaco is the leader in the wrong segment with a 25% market share. It has sustained its leadership in the past and has an established performance track record. The company has order backlog of -5,500 wagons and we believe that Texmaco will continue to maintain its leadership. Moreover, increasing investments in hydel capacity augur well for the hydromechanical division. However, the hydel power generation industry typically suffers from significant delays in order and execution.

Texmaco has formed a JV with United Group (Australia) for manufacturing metro and EMU coaches. Which is expected to commence operations in the next 10-12 months. We initiate coverage on Texmaco with a BUY recommendation and a price target of INR 124.

Wagon order adequate:

The company has an order backlog of 5,500 wagons,

Which should be adequately sustain FY 10 performance. IR release tenders or wagons annually. A tender for 5,862 wagons was recently floated in July 2009 and the balance is expected during Q3FY10. Thus, bulk of the benefit from new orders being awarded will be reflected in FY11, in our view and gives us comfort over revenue visibility. However, over the past two years, there has been considerable delay in award of orders and quantity tendered lower-than-planned. IR targeted procurement of 20,000 wagons annually in FY09; against this, actual procurement was ~50%.

MRTS coaches will take time: The metro and EMU coaches will take another 10-12 months.

These Wagons can carry 60 tonnes graded coal and can ply in merry-go-round system. The loading is done from the top and unloading is done automatically

30

from the bottom through Pneumatic Door Operating Mechanism activated by Rail Side Devices mounted on the track. The electropneumatic system is actuated from 24 to 32 Volt DC operated Line Side Equipment at the desired place.The Door Operating Mechanism has been successfully developed by BBUNL and are in wide use. The wagons have the same features as other 8 wheeler bogie type wagons used for carrying bulk load.

Wagons are per customers specifications & service requirements can also be manufactured and supplied to meet any International Standards.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The relationship between land and labour is nearly as old as human existence on the earth. As we cannot imagine the process of creation of wealth without labour, it is treated as more important. The satisfaction of worker is linked with the question of our existence & profitability. Increase in production is not possible without the fullest co-operation between management and labour and the most important determinant is a manager’s ability to minimize the conflicts and maximize the satisfaction of employers & employees. This situation may be created by taking intense are upon labour productivity, which is based on incentives, motivation compensation have been evolved over a period of time. More particularly with a view to motivate the worker & employee concerned.

The success of any organisation also depends upon the facts that effectively and efficiently the wage and salary administration is handled by the manager, that can turn the worker towards satisfaction level. If an ideal match between technical innovations and worker’s aspiration have been set-up, they may be capable of producing new idea developing and improving capital goods and

56

modifying the available physical and financial resource in order to achieve greater productivity, satisfaction depends on the strategies adopted for wage and salary administration.

By observing the above points, it can easily be concluded that the importance of wage and salary administration at present day cannot be ignored. While working on this topic, my present aim is to evaluate the wage and salary administration in company like BWEL, Muzaffarpur unit, Muzaffarpur. I have also evaluated the various methods of wages and salary administration.

Thus progress is a continuous process. It is relative and absolute. We cannot stop at a certain destination and declare that target has been achieved and we need to go further. One has rightly said the following lines :-

“The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep a mile to go before I sleeps.”

Summer Training Programmes are designed to give the future feel of the corporate happening and work culture. These real life situations are entirely different from the simulated exercise enacted in an artificial environment inside reason that the summer training programmes are designed so that the managers of tomorrow may not feel ill in case when the times come to shoulder responsibility.

That experience that I have gathered over the last six weeks have certainly provided me with orientation which I believe will help me to shoulder any assignment, successfully in near future. I have tried my level best to arrange the work in a systematic and chronological manner.

We read theoretically the matters noted in the books but are not very much acquainted with the actual working in the organisation. There becomes a lot of difference between the bookish knowledge & the practical Knowledge. To have a practical feelings & go through the working an organisation is very much beneficial for us. The experience gain during these six weeks is of highly importance.

57

Even though this project report will be helpful for the management of BWEL, to look back at their role and procedures regarding wages and salary activity stake necessary steps to improve it.

The future students of management disciplines who want to know abut the working of BWEL, Muzaffarpur, especially with regard to wage & salary will get a massive help from this project report.

(1) Press & Press Work :-

The press is metal forming machine tool designed to shape of cut metal tool by applying mechanical force or pressure. The metal is formed the desired shape without removal of clops. The presses are exclusively intended for mass production work and they present the fastest and most efficient way to form a sheet metal in a finishing products.

(2) Power Press

The constructional feather of a power press is almost similar to the hand press the only difference being, the ram instead of driven by hand is drives by power. The power press may be designated as mechanical or hydraulic according to the type of working mechanism used to transmit power to the ram. In a mechanical press, the rotary motion obtain from an electric motor is converted into reverted into reciprocating movement of the ram by using different mechanical device. In a hydraulic press, the fluid under high pressure is pumped on one side of the piston and then on the other in a hydraulic cylinder to derive the reciprocating movement. A power press has driven by crank and connecting road mechanism. The working of the press is similar to that of a hand press. The punch is fitted on the end of the die is attached on the bolster plate. The fly wheel mounted at the crank shaft stores up sheet metal is pressed between the punch and the die.

Power Press Parts :-

The different parts of a power press are described below :-

Base

Frame

Bolster Plate

Ram or slide

Pitman

Crank shaft or eccentric

Fly Wheel

60

Clutch

Brake

1. Base :-The base is the supporting member of the press and provides arrangement for tilting and clamping the frame in an inclined press.

2. Frame :-All presses except the straight side type have “C” shaped frame to take up the vertical thrust of the ram.

3. Bolster Plate :-The Bolster plate is a flat plate fetted on the base for supporting the die block and other accessories of the press.

4. Ram :-The ram is the reciprocating member of the press that slides with in the press and guides and supports the punch at its bottom end.

5. Pitman :-The pitman is the connecting rod in a crank or eccentric driven press. The position of the stroke of the ram can be changed by altering the length of the connecting rod.

6. Crank shaft of eccentric :-The rotary movement of the motor is motor is converted into the reciprocating movement of the ram by crank and connecting rod, eccentric and connecting rod, or many other mechanisms.

7. Fly Wheel :-The fly wheel is mounted at the end of the driving shaft and is connected to it through clutch. The energy is stored up in the flywheel during idle periods and it is expand to maintain the constant sped of the ram when the punch is pressed into the work. The fly wheel is directly coupled with the electric motor.

8. Clutch :-The clutch is used for connecting and disconnecting the driving shaft with the fly wheel when it is necessary to start or stop the movement of the ram.

9. Brake :-

The brakes are used to stop the movement of the driving shaft immediately after it is disconnected from the fly wheel.

Hydraulic Press :-The hydraulic press is used to manufacture anchor plate. For this plate in the oil furnance. The heated plates is kept horizontally on the

61

machine table and ram is allowed to press the plate due to downward movement the U-shaped anchor plate is manufactured.

CUTTING AND WELDING SHOP

Introduction :-

This shop works under the Supervision of Mr. Hari Kishore Prasad this is one of the shops in which the basic work is performed. As the name indicates this shop is mainly involved in cutting the plates of different thickness in the desired shape & size and in the profile cutting.

In the metal-working work pieces of most difference shapes and dimensions and of different materials are worked. The various working processes fall into the two groups, the of non-cutting shaping, e.g. forging pressing, drawing, etc. and that of cutting shaping by which finish surface of desired shape and dimensions is obtained by separating a layer from the parent work piece in the form of chips e.g. turning, drilling milling etc.

List of no. of machine :-

1. Shearing Machine ---- 1

2. Cropping Shearing Machine ---- 2

3. Chipping Machine ---- 1

4. Profile Cutting Machine ---- 3

5. Kangaroo Machine ---- 1

Shearing Machine :-On the shearing machine the to be cut should be flat & the thickness should not be more than 8 min. For cutting the flat plate is kept on the bed of the held of crane. The machine consists of a cutting blade & no. of pressing bolts press the plate and keep it rigidly fixed the downward movement of the cutting plate.

Cropping Machine :-On the cropping machine number of works are performed. This machine can cut the flat plate of small sizes, angles, plates, square hollow rod & circular hollow rod. Also this machine can be used as punching machine.

Chipping Machine :-This machine is use to produce an inclined shaped at end of plate which is necessary in the end to end welding. This machine has a gun

63

through which high pressure air comes. This machine holds a chisel. The high-pressure air pushes the chisel. Which causes to cut the plate?

Profile Cutting Machine :-This machine consists of a vertical column and two horizontal arms. The one arm consists of the template and another arm consists of the welding torch and the small driving motor. This machine can cut the plate of thickness of 35 to 40 mm. Through the welding torch acetylene and oxygen gas is supplied. This machine requires extra amount of oxygen gas. So two oxygen pipes are connected to the torch. To cut the plate in the desired shape. The same shape template is fitted to the upper arm and the magnetic roller of the second i.e. lower arm is toughed to the template. The driving motor drives the torch. The torch moves through the profile of the template and plate cut in the desired shape.

Kangaroo Machine :-One another plate cutting machine in this shop is Kangaroo Machine. This is the biggest cutting machine. This machine consists of two welding torch. The torch can move in all the three coordinate axis i.e. X,Y and Z axis. This is fully electronic controlled machine. This machine consists of an electronic sensor and a horizontal plate. The drawing of the required shape is kept on the horizontal plate and the sensor moves through the black lines of the drawing this machine can be moved manually. The amount of acetylene and oxygen gas can be controlled with the knobs.

In the welding section mainly bolster and cross bars are manufactured.

The Process of metal cutting in which chip is formed is affected by a relative motion between the work piece and the hard edge of a cutting tool held against the work piece. Such relative motion is produced by a combination or rotary and translating movements either of the work piece or of the cutting toll or of both. Depending of the nature of his relating motion, metal cutting processors are called by names example :- Turning, Planning, Boring etc.

A cutting tool may be used for cutting apart, as with a knife, or for removing chips. Parts are produced by removing metal mostly in the form of small chips.

64

Chips :-The form and dimension of a chip metal machining indicates the nature and quality of a particular machining process but the types of chip formed in influenced by the properties of the material cut and various cutting conditions.

In engineering manufacturer particularly in metal machining process hard brittle metals have a very limited use, and dutile metals are mostly used.

Chips of ductile metals are removed by varying proportions of shear flow. This results in general type of shapes.

1. The discontinuous or segmental form.

2. The continuous or ribbon type.

Discontinuous or Segmental Chip :-

It consists of elements fractured into fairly small pieces ahead of cutting tool. This type of chip is obtained in machining most brittle materials such as cast iron bronze. These materials rupture during plastic deformation and form chip as separate small pipes. As these chips are produced, the cutting edge smoothes over the irregularities and a fairly good finish is obtained. Tool life is also reasonably good, and the power consumptions low. Discontinuous chip can also be formed on some ductile metals only under certain conditions particularly at very low speeds and if the coefficient of friction is low with ductile metals, however the surface finish is bad and the tool life is short.

Conditions :- Ending to promote its formation brittle metals, greater depth of cut, low cutting speed and small rake angle.

Continuous chip :- It consists of elements bonded firmly together without being fractured. Under the best conditions ribbon of metal which, under the microscope shows no sings of tear or discontinuous. The upper side of a continuous chip has a small notch while the lower side, which slides over the tool face, is smooth and shiny. The continuous form is considered most desirable for low friction at the tool- chip interface lower power consumption long tool life and good surface finish.

65

DRILLING SHOP.

INTRODCUTION :-

The drilling machine is one of the most important machine tools in a workshop . As regards its importance it is second only to the lathe. Although it was primarily designed to originate a hole, it can perform a number of similar operations. In drilling machines holes may be drilled quickly and at a low cost. The hole is generated by the rotating edge of a cutting tool known as the drill which exerts a large force on the work clamped on the table. As the machine tool exerts vertical pressure to originate a hole it is loosely called a “drill press”.

Holes were drilled by the Egyptians in 1200 B.C. about 3000 years ago by how drills. The bow drill is the mother of the present day metal cutting drilling machine.

In the drilling shop there are different types of drilling machines such as radial drilling machine.

RADIAL DRILLIGN MACHINE :-The radial drilling machine is indented for drilling medium to large and heavy work pieces. The machine consists of a heavy, round, vertical coulomb mounted on a large base. The column supports a radial arm which can be raised and lowered to accommodate work piece of different bights. The arm may be swung around to any position over the work bed. The drill head containing mechanism for rotating and feeding the drill is mounted on a radial arm and can be moved horizontally on the guide ways and clamped at any desired position. These three movements in a radial drilling machine when combined together permit the drill to be located at any desired point on large work piece for drilling the hole. When several holes are drilled on a drilled on provide guide ways on which the drill head may be made to slide. The arm may be swage bound the column. In some machine this movement is controlled by separates motor.

Drill head :- The drill head mounted on the radial arm and drives the drill spindle . It encloses an the mechanism for driving the drill at multiple speeds and at different feed. At the mechanisms and control are may be made to slide on the guide ways of the arm for adjusting the position of drill spindle with

66

respect to the work. After the spindle has been properly adjusted in position the drill head is clamped on the radial arm.

Universal Drilling Machine :- It is one of the important drilling machine. This drilling machine can produce a hole any direction at any angle. The universal drilling machine consists of a vertical i.e. horizontally, vertically and at any inclination. The drilling can be done by automatic feed mechanism and by manual operation.

Semi Universal radial drilling machine :- It is same as universal radial drilling machine except this drilling machine cannot produce a hole in inclined direction. This machine consists of two electrical motors. One is used for the operation of drilling and the another is used for the vertical movement of horizontal arm is the feed. In these machine water is used as a coolant the chip which comes out from the operation is continues chip.

Sensitive drilling machine :- On the machine small sized hole is drilled usually a drill of 5 mm and 6 mm is used for the machine has a very long bed and a gang of three drilling machine. This machine is used to produce a hole in the very long channel. For operation the channel is kept on the bed the jig is fitted to the channel and with the help jig bush the hole is produced at desired position.

Drilling of Job :- In the shop drilling is done by two methods, i.e. by marking and by jig. The following are the drill size & which are used for drilling in this shop are 5 mm, 6 mm, 11 mm, 13.5mm 17.5mm 21.5 mm and 23.5 mm. These are the drill size which is used here for drilling marking takes a lot of time and it requires more skilled person for marking . so drilling of component by marking is used fro a few, components where it is different to set a jig. For mass production of components jig is used for drilling. The thickness of the jig plate, which is in practice, is 12 mm. To manufacture jig a hole greater die is done in the jig plate and bush of required drill size is filled in the hole, The material of the jig bush is called IV and IS: 1875. In this drilling shop there is one universal radial machine, two semi universal radial drilling machine and a few ordinary machines. There is one gang drilling machine and one sensitive drilling machine.

air chambers. Improve the firing . The coke is fired air blown. As the coke

produce heat nearly equal to 22000 C the ferrous metal starts melting.

After melting the metal flows downward and get stored on the sand bed. Due

to its high density the coke starts flowing. As the slag starts flowing outside it is

confirmed that the metal is in the fully molten state condition the gate is

opened and the molten metal is allowed , to blow in the ladle. In this system

the hot air which tends to pass from top is recycled and again supplied to the

air chamber. This reduces the cost of production.

ZONES CUPOLA:-The Cupola furnace is divided in various Zones. A number of

chemical reactions take place in this Zone, which are as follow as :-

1. Well :-It is the space between the bottom of tuyers and the sand bed.

The metals are trickles down after melting and collects in this space before it is

tapped out.

2. Combustion Zone :-It is also known oxidizing zone. It is located between

top of the tuyers and theoretical level above it. The actual combustion takes

place in this zone. More heat is evolved due to silicon & manganese. A

Temperature about 15400 C to 18700 C is produced. The exothermic reaction

taking place in this zone.

C+O2 ……………………………. CO2 – Heat

75

Si+O2 ……………………………. SiO2 – Heat

2 Mn + O2 ………………………… 2MnO2 + Heat

3. Reducing zone:-It is also known as productive zone. It is located between

the top of the combustion zone and the top lave of the coke bed. Co is reduced

in co in this zone through an endothermic reaction, as a result of which the

temperature falls from combustion zone. Temperature is about 12000 C of this

zone.

CO2 – C (of coke) ……………………. 2CO + HEAT

4. Melting zone :-The first layer of metal charge above the coke bed. This solid

metal changes to state in this zone.

3 Fe + 2 CO ---------------------------------- Fe3C + Co2

5. Preheating Zone :-It extends from above the melting zone to the bottom

level of the charging door and contains a number of alternate layers of coke

and metal charges. The function of this zone is to about 1093 C before the

downward to enter the melting zone. This preheating takes place due to the

upward advancing hot gasses.

6. Stack Zone :-The empty portion of cupola the preheating zone. Which

provides the passage to hot gasses to go to atmosphere ,is known as stack

zone.

76

Cupola Efficiency :- The thermal efficiency of cupola is given by the ratio of

heat actually utilized in melting zone and superheating the metal to the

involved in through various means. The ratio can mathematically :-

Percent Cupola :- Heat utilize in melting and super heating x 100

Calerific value of coke – heat involved due to

oxidation of iron , si and Mn

WAGON ASSEMBLY SHOP

In this shop the various components which are manufactured in the different

shops are assembled and the completed and then set to the finishing shop.

First of the assembly of wagon, the centre sill is kept on the fixture.

Centre Sill -This is manufactured in the sub assembly shop. To manufacture

two Z channels are welder after welding the supporting plate is welded to

require position and then it is sent for marking . After marking drilling is done

by the air gun. Lastly it is checked whether it is true size or not. If not the

length is reduced by gas cutting.

The length of the centre sill should be 9784 mm and width should 2960 mm.

The centre sill is placed in the fixture and cross bar bolster welder to it. After

welding these two seal are attached and is welder.

Now this knows “Under frame”, now riveting is done . The head stock also

welded to the centre still at the ends. The gusset plate and the cross bottom

plate is welded to bolster and cross bar respectively . The stranger welded to

the under frame through out the length. The under frame is placed on the

manipulator for welding at the bottom side. Now the air brake cylinder and the

pipe line is fitted and clamped . The side body and end body is attached and

riverted and welded to the frame . This complete box is kept on the wheel .

78

FINISHING SHOP

After assembling the wagon is sent to the finishing shop. In this the wagon is

brought to the shot blaster chamber. In this chamber small iron particle is

allowed to strike on the wagon to remove the extra welding deposit and the

rust formed on it. The high pressure air helps the iron particle to come out

from the gun and to strike rapidly. In this chamber the working condition are

very hazardous. So the worker wears oxygen mask before doing work inside

the chamber. After this the wagon is painted and the specification are written

on the wagon is painted and the specifications are written on the wagon and

then dispatched to Indian railway.

TEMPLATE SHOP

Before describing the template t is worth while to elaborate the word

“template”. This is a pattern or gauge a time in mass scale. This saves a lot of

time, as no marking is necessary when using template . Basically templates are

of two types :

1. Marking Template

2. Checking Template

The main objective of this shop is making templates of all the consigned wagon

components where a certain profile cutting is necessary.

The manufacturing of template is done with the help of the design and

drawing provided by R.D.S.O. Lucknow . Also the allowances for different tools

are taken into consideration during marketing the template. The varies

machine to machine. The templates here are usually made of mild steel . They

are of small thicknesses.Working in this shop needs greatest accuracy because

shapes all the components made with the help of template depends upon the

template. Thus a minor fault cans a great fault in the production.

is materials. Discarded from manufacturing operations that may be suitable for

re processing. Scrap is a term used to describe the recycling of metal. Old

unwanted metal such as left out iron sheets, building supplies, surplus materials,

useless equipment, safety appliances, wornout tools machine part etc.

Sometimes some raw material which is basically to be used for some special

purpose but on due inspection it is observed that material does not meet

required specifications, or is of of poor quality and is not suitable for the

purpose, such material is also considered as scrap. Scrap is material that has

been found to be unfit for further processing. Here in BWEL muzaffarpur

SCRAP MANAGEMENT AND IMPORTANCE Such a large quantity of scrap needs a proper way of management and

disposal. Otherwise it would create wastage and environmental hazards. The proper utilization, processing, disposal and other type of related

maintainance of various types of scraps is broadly termed as scrap management.

Scrap management process differs from industry to industry. Scrap from large and big industry usually serves as raw materials for small scale industries and factories .

In case of small industries like in case iron or sheet metal industry scrap management simply consists of activity in which scrap material is taken from workshop to a scrap yard, where they are processed for later melting into new products.

But in case of a large industry where different types of raw material is used and different processes and operations are carried out a very comprehensive method of scrap management is necessary for the betterment of industry.

Thus we see that scrap management plays an indispensable role in upliftment of the industry. Now we are going discuss the scrap management in context of BWEL MUZAFFARPUR.

SCRAP MANAGEMENT IN BWEL MUZAFFARPUR

86

Scrap production in BWEL MUZAFFARPUR is one of largest in the North India. Every year crores of scrap is produced in various workshops of BWEL MUZAFFARPUR, whose proper management and disposal is very necessary. That’s why scrap Management is very important aspect in proper functioning of BWEL MUZAFFARPUR.

Specially for this purpose there is a scrap depot in the factory campus where all the scrap and waste material is dumped and whole process of scrap management is carried out from there.

Various poles and bins are designated and number for arranging different types of scrap.

Different type of scrap is distributed at different places in scrap yard according to the requirement and auction requirement.

Dy. CMM of scrap Depot is incharge of all the proceedings carried out related to scrap in the factory.

Now the management of scrap starts right from the workshops. In each and every workshop scrap bins are suitably placed where

different types of scrap is placed. This scrap is before hand distributed according to its type, such that there is no need of differentiating scrap after it reaches the scrap depot. These bins are actually large containers which can be suitably installed on truck.

A large crane picks up these containers and puts it upon the trucks which carries these scrap upto the scrap depot and unload them in the scrap depot according to the designated place.

These places are actually designated according to the pole number or heap number.

Now there is form known as Advise Note on which all the paper work related to the transportation of scrap from the workshop to the scrap depot takes place.

Person concerned in workshop fills the advice note and sends it along with the scrap to the scrap depot. In scrap depot the concerned official receives the scrap truck and further fills the advice note.

Pole number or heap number where scrap is unlocated is noted down. Advise note is kept in records.

The size of scrap heap in depot is kept, keeping in mind various factors. When the amoumt of scrap is large enough auction of this scrap is done. Before auction various beforehead preparation are done.

87

Size of scrap heap is kept such that it is easier for the trader to carry the scrap easily. If the scrap heap is smaller it will be easier for the trader or the dealer carried to desired position, moreover less scrap heap means less weight and less transportation costs for the trader and he will be more encouraged to buy the scrap.

Certain minimum price is selected beforehand by the depot officials by reviewing the present market prices of iron and other such kind of scrap.

Sometime special scrap such scrap of Mynmar wagons, include the taxes also. Various traders or dealers are informed beforehand by various means.

A special catalogue of scrap available is distributed among these traders and dealers.

This catalogue tells aqbout the different types of scraps available, their weight, minimum piece before auction and position where they are placed in the scrap depot.

These traders are either from some small scale industries or just moderators who further sell these scrap to other people.

The highest bidder or particular scrap gets to have that scrap. This scraps serves as raw materials for these small factories. Some scrap such that of iron and other metallic scrap is often remelted

and cast into other useful products. Other miscellaneous scrap such as tubes, plastic, etc are also useful for some small scale.

VARIOUS LOCATIONS FOR SCRAP IN SCRAP DEPOT

88

In scrap Depot large amount of scrap is to placed in distributed manner so that it is easy to distinguish various types of scrap and other information related with it.

For this purpose scrap depot following type of division are done :A) SectorsB) PolesC) Bins

Sectors: These are the broad classification of a certain area that has certain amount and certain type of scrap lying there. These are alphabetically numbered. There are sectors numbered from sector A to sector H in scrap depot.

Poles: There are many poles which are numerically numbered. Below these poles heaps and lots of scrap are placed.

Bins: These are cemented scrap bines where whole of scrap is dumped. These again are numbered.

All of these are simply identification to know where and what type of scrap is placed in the scrap depot.

In the catalogue also it is given that so much kg of scrap placed in given secto or near the given pole or in certain beam.

This also helps the bidders and purchasers during the auction to easily and properly identify and inspect the scrap.

SCRAP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (S.M.S.)

Scrap management system (S.M.S.) is specially designed computer software that is used for almost full management of scrap in scrap depot of BWEL Muzaffarpur.

94

Almost all the operations from making of advicer not to keeping auction records is vdone through S.M.S.

It has simplified the process of scrap management by decreasing the manual labour.

It is better way of keeping records safe and easily approachable then through files etc.

All the information regarding the scrap lot like weight, type, quantity, location etc is feeded into the S.M.S. for further processing.

S.M.S. is password protected, so only the incharge of scrap depot or some designated person can operate this program. So no body else can temper with the records. Thus it is good system with the respect to the security also.

A printer has been attached to the computer. Thus we can easily print out details and reports from the S.M.S.

Although there are numerous operations that are performed through the S.M.S., few of the important one are as follows:

A. Preparing the advise noteB. Preparing staff gate passC. Preparing Bidder Gate Pass during auctionD. Preparation of auction catalogueE. Various types of reportsF. Keeping record of payments and balance records during auction.

Main Menu of S.M.S. consists of following sub-menus :A. MasterB. DespatchC. LotD. AuctionE. DeliveryF. ReportsG. Exit Master has been sub divided into following parts :1. Codes2. PL Master Dispatch has following sub menus :1. Dispatch2. Bin Detail

TARGETS

Every Year BWEL, MUZAFFARPUR decides certain target for scrap sale. His helps in performing more efficiently in Scrap Mangement. This year target for scrap sale is Rs 16 crores.

97

CONCLUSION

Even though the scrap management in BWEL MUZAFFARPUR is fully efficient and capable in itself, that it needs no more alterations. I think few minor improvement in its functioning may slightly help in better management of scrap.

Better communication link between the workshops and the scrap depot can be developed for faster and efficient transportation of scrap. Copmputors at workshop and the scrap depot should be linked through networking such that there is no need of advice note and all formalities could be done on computer only. This surely will result in faster scrap management.
