TATA CUMMINS AT A GLANCE

Tata Cummins Ltd. is a 50-50 joint venture between Tata Motors and Cummins

Engine Co., Inc banker/investor W G Irwin supplied the capital for a local self taught

mechanic and inventor Clessie Cummins to begin manufacturing diesel engines.

Working out of an old cereal mill in Columbus, the first engine made by Cummins was a

Dutch designed, six horsepower, farm type diesel. By 1925, the company had begun

producing its own design with enough success that operations were relocated to a new

larger site where the Columbus Engine Plant is now located. It was here that Cummins

created the breakthroughs that solved critical problems of injection timing and

introduced a successful marine engine, originally installed in shrimp boats. The engine

proved so economical that its popularity soon spread to other applications, including

generator sets, drills, power shovels and air compressors.

Today with 45 manufacturing units in 13 countries, and worldwide distribution,

Cummins Engine Company Inc. is a largest independent manufacturer of dieselengines. The company provides products and services for customers in markets

worldwide for engines, power generation and filtration, including engine components,

natural gas engines, filtration systems and information products and services.

Our other partner Tata Motors is the largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles

in India. Tata Motors was established in Jamshedpur in 1945, with the agenda of 

manufacturing steam locomotives. In 1954, the company expanded into automobile

manufacturing, through collaboration with Daimler-Benz of Germany. By the end of the

collaboration in 1969, Tata Motors had fully developed the capacity of designing and

manufacturing Medium Commercial Vehicles– taking the first step towardsindigenization. Tata Motors manufactures an entire range of Heavy, Medium and Light

Commercial Vehicles, Multi-Utility Vehicles and Passenger Cars. Tata Motors occupies

70% of the market share. Tata Motors has 4 plants: Jamshedpur, Pune, Lucknow, and

at Dharwad. The Tata Motors Plant at Jamshedpur Plant commenced production on

June 1, 1945.

Tata Cummins is a joint venture between these two world leaders. The agreement was

signed in July 1993 with plant construction starting in the industrial township of 

Jharkhand-Jamshedpur in April 1994 and commercial production commenced on

January 1 1996. The entire organization has been set up from scratch at a Greenfield

Page 7: Nitin Project Report2

PRODUCT ENGINEERING 

TCL builds Cummins’ B series mechanical engines. The design of the base engine is

controlled by Cummins. Many of the external components are specific for each customer.

Therefore, each plant may have some variations on these components. To tie it all back to

Cummins centre database, these parts are released through Cummins. This ensures all

components are known to all Cummins plants, which reduces design proliferation and

evaluation time and costs. When TCL requires special parts or options based on customer 

requirement, these are introduced into Cummins database through the release process

with new part numbers. PE is equipped with a Pro E workstation and AutoCAD facilities.

Design validation, simulation and pilot studies are carried out in a mechanical test lab

having noise and vibration equipment and strain gauging facilities. Two test cells andequipment for combustion optimisation enable the performance rating development.

Rating and performance development are taken from DEP and indigenised at TCL as per 

customer requirements. PE Department is also responsible for mechanical development

of parts and source approval of components; product change management and

engineering releases; engine and vehicle type approval in collaboration with OE.

CUSTOMER ENGINEERING 

The vision of Customer Engineering department is to” Reach out to wider cross section of 

users and make life better by unleashing the power of CUMMINS”. This department’s

main function is to increase market acceptability of Tata Cummins engine, make a

presence in the non-auto segment (marine, industrial, powergen & agriculture). Proper 

integration of the engine into OEM’s equipment is critical for the equipment performance,

which is enabled by following Cummins Application Engineering Procedures and work

practices. Critical functional aspects like engine air induction system, engine-cooling

system, aspects of equipment peripherals that affect durability and reliability areaddressed through the application engineering procedure. Application engineering

MATERIALS 

The Materials Department in TCL is broadly categorised into three sets of distinct

functions namely Procurement, Stores and Production Planning function. The

procurement functions is responsible for providing support to the manufacturing workflow

process by ensuring the timely procurement of raw materials (forgings/ casting for MIW

lines) and other quality components (direct materials), which are almost 70 % of the

product. This is also significant in terms of finalising the strategic price of the product.

These direct parts sourced from 70 suppliers and an effective management of supply

chain and inventory and supplier relations becomes very important as these directly affect

the profitability of the company. Ensuring the timely supply of quality components, its

testing and validations, needs a very close co-ordination between this function of the

department, Product Engineering department and Sourcing department.

The stores function of this department is responsible for Production planning & control

and ensuring the dispatch of final product to the customer based on their requirement.

This department manages the movement of total materials, both direct and indirect and

the disposal of scrap within the factory premises. This includes the timely supply of raw

materials and bought out component to different workstations in the concerned BUs to

ensure effective workflow of manufacturing processes.

ENGINEERING 

Engineering department in Tata Cummins comprises of three function units- Tooling

Planning and Maintenance. Tooling as a function unit caters to approximately 2000

tools, jigs & fixtures throughout the plant, which is the critical part of the manufacturing

process in terms of time, quality, and cost of production. Planning looks after Industrial

Engineering, Planning & Procurement of capital. Maintenance Function looks after 

Maintenance of the Utilities (Electrical, Air Conditioner, Compressed Air, Water System),

Page 15: Nitin Project Report2

material Handling Equipments, Labs and Spare Parts Division of the Plant and also looks

after the procurement, storage and issue of machinery spares.

  QUALITY 

Ensuring the quality of outgoing products, implementing adequate quality systems and

processes in-house and with the suppliers, training and development in quality skills,

leading improvements in internal and external failure resolution are the keyresponsibilities of the quality function. These are achieved through two functional units

viz. Manufacturing Quality and Sourcing.

1

The Manufacturing Quality  functional unit assures quality of the five in-house

components manufactured on over 160 machines, over 500 bought out components,

about 2000 items used as tooling, about 2000 gages and bulk fluids such as engine oil,diesel, cutting and hydraulic oils; through product audits and through in-house

manufacturing process audits. The unit drives the quality systems implementation

throughout the plant and carries out regular audits to ensure the robustness of the

system. This unit has the quality engineering skill sets for problem, process and product

analysis and provides this support to the Business Units. The function drives all problem

resolution efforts related to the manufacturing process, both internal as well as external.

This functional unit also assures the outgoing quality of the final product i.e. engines

through process and product audits in the production line, at final delivery stage and

through reliable testing and evaluation of engines. They also conduct major enginerepairs and lead engine failure analysis and resolution.

SOURCING 

The Sourcing functional unit is responsible for ensuring the quality of bought out parts by

locating potential suppliers, training and developing the sources, assuring and approving

their processes. They lead all problem resolution efforts related to suppliers

manufacturing processes and support their capability improvement. The unit plays a key

role in developing a part locally, which reduces the overall cost of an engine. They deal

with around 800 active parts and 74 suppliers.

 AFTER MARKET 

 After Market Support is a function of Tata Cummins, which deals with the support to the

OEMs in terms of providing engine spares, technical know-how of the product and gathers

product related feedback from customers for improvement. There are seven major and

regular customers that is Tata Motors (4 registered ware house), CASL, CDSS and TIL.Other customers also get support from this division on need basis like Tata Motors, Pune

Page 16: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 16/63

and Lucknow. This function mainly contributes by effective management of engine spares

(approximately 500 nos.) right from receiving orders from customer, giving indent for 

procurement and finally delivering the materials to the indenter within schedule. It

provides technical support and information to customer on their queries and also by

publishing a bi-monthly in-house technical Journal. From management point of view

delivery of spares on time,

supporting the customer with technical know-how and knowing customer’s requirement

are critical and play an important role in ensuring customer’s confidence, faith in the

product reliability and in total organisation’s commitment to “put customer first”. Thisdepartment also provides market related data and inputs to Finance for finalising strategic

pricing of spares,

provides key customer requirements to Product Engineering for product modification as

per the customer’s requirements. Warehouse is equipped with necessary machines and

equipment to help people working there in material handling, packing and delivery to the

customer. It also contributes in maintaining a very low cost of the inventory and ensuring

maximum customer orders.

WORK SYSTEMS AT TATA CUMMINS:

TEAM BASED WORK SYSTEM: 

The basic working in Tata Cummins is team based, i.e., all the shop floor associates are

organized into teams. It is a socio-technical approach to job design and aims at optimizing

the technical and the social requirements in the organization. Teams have been created

depending on distinctive output / product, job design principles, geographical proximity,

optimal number of members (8-10), identified suppliers and customers (internal).Teams are empowered to manage their day-to-day working within the parameters of team

goals, process and output measures. Managers are actively involved as coaches and

facilitators in the process. Care is taken that these activities are structured, focused and

systematic. The ultimate objective is to become a self managed team where the team can

function on their own without the help of any managers.

• We follow a 3-point triangular model to define the role of each individual in the team.

Page 17: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 17/63

Each team has a team coordinator (who is also a member of the team and not in a

supervisory position) and 3 “point-leaders”. These point leaders have the lead

responsibility for the activity at each point of the triangle depicted below.

TRIANGULAR POINT MODEL

1

5

On each of the six working days of the week there is either a meeting of the team (team

meeting) or of the point leaders of a particular point from each of the teams. This ensures

that learning and improvement initiatives are spread across the plant very quickly. The team

meetings are structured and facilitated by a manager. Minutes are kept of each meeting for 

follow-up to resolution and it is treated as an inseparable part of their regular work. The

organization provides facilities for the various meetings and additional resources for 

covering the absence of 1 member at any point of time either to attend meetings or follow-up on improvement projects. Time is provided during regular working hours to drive home

the point that improvement activities in teams are very much a part of regular work.

Comprehensive inputs are provided to the associates in the form of training on problem

solving, communication, technical subjects, consensus process, conflict resolution,

statistical techniques and behavioral sciences to enable them to participate effectively in

team activities.

The managers and senior management regularly review improvement projects completed

and ongoing in each team. Recognition is accorded to teams and individuals for contributions and efforts.

TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE:

Tata Cummins has adopted TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM) to achieveoperational excellence through involvement of all employees. TPM leads to achievingzero breakdown, zero defect and zero accidents by eliminating losses, implementingkaizens and maintaining the optimal conditions of the machines. All the employees are

involved in TPM implementation including the employees working in office who are

Crankshaft Business Unit (CRBU) :

Crankshaft Business Unit (CRBU) of Tata Cummins Limited produces thecrankshaft, which is then sent to the assembly for fitting into the engine. Like theconnecting rod, the raw material here is also obtained form Bharat Forge, Pune in the

form of a forging. A number of crucial and intricate operations on the crankshaft finallygive the finished product. The machining operations in CRBU are carried out across 35machines, which are divided into two lines:

• Soft Line

• Hard Line

In Soft Line, conventional machining operations like milling, facing, turning, grinding etc.are carried out The final operation in this line is Induction Hardening of the crankshaftdue to which its material becomes very hard. Further, all the stock can’t be removed inthe soft line only, as the shape of the crankshaft gets deformed due to hardening andfinishing of surfaces has to be again carried out.

Cylinder Block Business Unit (CBHU)

This is the largest business unit in the Tata Cummins limited. Cylinders blocks aremanufactured in this unit which are then send to assembly line. The raw material used iscast iron, which is bought from Tata Motors Jamshedpur. Due to heavy chip removalintense dust formation is the problem with this line. Most of the operations performed onthe block are without using coolant.

In this business unit cylinder heads are manufactured which send to assemblyline. CHBU is a fully automated line having least number of associates in TCL. The rawmaterial is Cast Iron casting and it comes from Tata Motors, Jamshedpur. The entire lineis divided into different cells depending on similarity of the operations performed on themachines.

Assembly, Testing & Painting Business Unit (ATP BU):

The Assembly, Testing and Painting Business Unit at TCL houses one of themost sophisticated assembling and testing facilities among the Indian industries. It is atthis unit that the various Made in Works (MIW) components and the Bought Out Finished(BOF) components are assembled to produce the engine, which then undergoes throughthe processes of testing and painting before being delivered to the customer. This unit isthe biggest BU in TCL in terms of manpower employed and is broadly divided into threeloops as per the operations performed. ATPBU has several unique features which arenot found in most assembling units, which include the use of Automated ElectricMonorails (AEM), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), In-Process Verifications (IPV),

 Assembly Management System (AMS) etc. The whole layout is essentially line-type andall the loops are further subdivided into stations and each team is assigned theresponsibility of a particular group of stations.

PROJECT TITLE

“IMBALANCE PATTERN GENERATED IN CRANK SHAFTTHROUGH VARIOUS MACHINING OPERATIONS”

PROJECT BEGINNING

For analyzing imbalance of mass generated in crank, one should be familiar with allthe machining processes performed and then decide what process is affecting crankshaft the most.

To fulfill the above requirement my initial plans were:

• To know the crank properly.a. What is its geometry?b. What is its role in the engine?c. What type of motion it is going to be in?

• To know various operations in details.

Page 30: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 30/63

• To decide what operation is affecting it the most.

• To suggest methods of control.

28

 WHAT IS UNBALANCE?

 Any rotating body which is having uneven distribution of mass about its axis of rotation is said to have an unbalance in it. This unbalance in the body plays a major rolewhen body has to perform a rotatory motion. The unbalance is generally caused by anextra mass ‘m’ present in the body. A similar effect is created by out –of-centremachining, non-uniform winding in armature blades of different sizes on rotors, internalflaws in casting, uneven density of material, etc.

TYPES OF UNBALANCE

The Unbalance generally is of following types:

I. STATIC UNBALANCE;

II. DYNAMIC UNBALANCE;

III. COMBINED UNBALANCE.

STATIC UNBALANCE:

When the distribution of mass is uneven but only on one side of the rotor then it iscalled as static unbalance.

Page 31: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 31/63

DYNAMIC UNBALANCE

When the uneven distribution of mass is present on two different sides of axis of rotation then this type of unbalance is called as dynamic unbalance.

 

COMBINED UNBALANCE

When both the static & dynamic unbalance exist simultaneously ina rotating body then such an unbalance is called as combined unbalance. The abovetwo types of unbalance usually exist in theory only while in actual practice a large no. of static & dynamic unbalance exist simultaneously ina rotor.

29

RELATION B/W UNBALANCE & CENTRIFUGAL FORCE

The Unbalance ‘U’ in a rotor is directly proportional to the amount of Centrifugal force generated on rotating the rotor and also the Unbalance Isindependent of speed of the rotor and it exists even when the rotor is Stationary.

 When the Unbalance rotor rotates the centrifugal force is given by :

 

U=mr  

m=unbalance mass

 r=radius at which mass is located

F=mv2/r = mrw2 = Uw2 

V= linear velocity 

W= angular velocity

The above relation clearly shows that the centrifugal force is directly proportionate tothe Unbalance.

 

Page 32: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 32/63

 

LOCATION OF UNBALANCE

The amount of unbalance present in the rotor is as much important as thethelocation of that unbalance. The location of unbalance is is generally expressed interms of the angle at which the unbalance is located . So the unbalance is a measure of both the mass and the angle at which it is located.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASURING UNBALANCE

When a rotor is rotated, each unbalance on it gives rise to a centrifugal force . Assuming that the rotor under consideration is a rigid body, each force can be resolved into2 planes (Left Plane & Right Plane).

30

After all the forces in the two planes on these lines are being resolved, the result

that we obtain can be represented simply by unbalances at those points .

 

The case mentioned above is not the most usual case but it illustrates that

“the total unbalance of rigid rotor can always be represented b two weights (or 

unbalances) in any two planes desired”.

 

The dynamic balancing machine operates on the above principle . The rotor tobe balanced is placed on the two work supporting carriages of the balancing machine

and rotated . The centrifugal forces created due to the unbalances act on the carriages

and are measured . These two forces give us the total unbalance of the rotor in these

two planes ( planes in which we have the carriages ). While measuring the unbalance ,

we have to ensure that the rotor is rotated about its normal axis of rotation . If we rotate

the rotor about any other axis, spurious unbalance shall be created by the displaced

mass of the rotor .

Page 33: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 33/63

The simplest method of achieving the above mentioned objective is to rotate the

rotor while supporting it on its bearing surface .

CORRECTION OF UNBALANCE

A dynamic balancing machine measures unbalances in two planes . These are the

planes in which the rotor is supported on the balancing machine and generally these are

the planes in which the rotor has its bearings. However, the unbalance correction is made

in some other planes where it is convienent to add or remove weights. The former are

called Measurement planes, while the latter are known as correction planes.

Since the plane sin which we make corrections are different from those in which we

measure unbalance, the unbalance corrections to be made have different values

from the unbalances measured .

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 34/63

 

Figure 1Unbalance correction

The unbalance corrections to be made can be found out by taking moments aboutany two points and equating them to zero .

Taking moments about left correction plane :

 Urb = W2(b+c)-W1a OR

 UR = W2(b+c)/b - W1 a/b

UL = Unbalance correction needed in left correction plane

UR= Unbalance correction needed in right correction plane

W1= Unbalance in left measurement plane.

W2= Unbalance in right measurement plane

 After having found the unbalance correction to be made we have to find out theactual weight 'm' to be added, which is dependent on the radius 'r' at which correction

has to be made. This weight is given by (for the right plane). :

Page 35: Nitin Project Report2

7/29/2019 Nitin Project Report2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nitin-project-report2 35/63

mR= UR/rR

 A similar exercise has to be done for the left plane correction side to find outcorrection required in the left correction plane. The results are as follows:

UL = W1 (a+b)/b – W2 c/b

mL= UL/rR

mL= Mass correction needed in left correction plane

mR= Mass correction needed in right correction plane.

RL = Radius at which correction is made on left side

RR = Radius at which correction is made on right side.

Suggestions :-

• Plane 1 value obtained after mass centering should

be minimized

• Further study needs to be done for plane 2 valueand actions should be taken to bring the average value to amin. of 25gm as against 50gm

• On studying data(I-MR) for angle 1 & angle 2Findings are:-

a) If a bias is given on machine1(mass-centering)Then consistent readings can be obtained.

b)c) Variation is quite large in case of readings of  angles.
