 ABOUT ARC FABS

ARC Fabs has made a name for itself in the list of top suppliers of in India. The company
is located in Nilakottai, Tamil Nadu and it is one of the leading sellers of listed products. ARC
Fabs is a quality driven organization offering a wide range of sheet metal fabricators. Registered
in 2018, the firm supplies sheet metal fabricators within present time limit.

ARC Fabs was founded in 2018 as a sub-contract fabricator to provide a skilled labour
force that enables our clients throughout the Ennore and Hosur to meet their targets. Our expertise
has assisted on multiple projects and is relied upon as an extension of many companies own
facilities. We pride ourselves on maintaining a consistent high standard of work and achieving
the critical deadlines demanded in our industry.

Metal fabrication is the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending and assembling
processes. It is a value-added process involving the creation of machines, parts, and structures
from various raw materials. Typically, a fabrication shop bids on a job, usually based on
engineering drawings, and if awarded the contract, builds the product. Large fab shops employ a
multitude of value-added processes, including welding, cutting, forming and machining. As with
other manufacturing processes, both human labour and automation are commonly used. A
fabricated product may be called a fabrication, and shops specializing in this type of work are
called fab shops. The end products of other common types of metalworking, such as machining,
metal stamping, forging, and casting, may be similar in shape and function, but those processes
are not classified as fabrication.

Fabrication shops and machine shops have overlapping capabilities, but fabrication shops
generally concentrate on metal preparation and assembly. Machine shops cut metal, but focus
primarily on the machining of parts on machine tools. Some firms do both fab work and
machining. Welder-produced products, often referred to as weldments, are examples of
fabrication.

A variety of tools are used to cut raw material. The most common cutting method is
shearing. Special band saws for cutting metal have hardened blades and feed mechanisms for
even cutting. Abrasive cut-off saws, also known as chop saws, are similar to meter saws but have
a steel-cutting abrasive disk. Cutting torches can cut large sections of steel with little effort.

7
 Burn tables are CNC (computer-operated) cutting torches, usually powered by natural gas.
Plasma and laser cutting tables, and water jet cutters, are also common. Plate steel is loaded on
the table and the parts are cut out as programmed. The support table consists of a grid of bars that
can be replaced when worn. Higher-end burn tables may include CNC punch capability using a
carousel of punches and taps. In fabrication of structural steel by plasma and laser cutting, robots
move the cutting head in three dimensions around the cut material. Forming converts flat sheet
metal into 3-D parts by applying force without adding or removing material. The force must be
great enough to change the metal's initial shape.

Forming can be controlled with tools such as punches and dies. Machinery can regulate
force magnitude and direction. Machine-based forming can combine forming and welding to
produce lengths of fabricated sheeting.

Factory layout

A shop floor is the area of a factory, machine shop, etc. where people work on machines,
or the space in a retail establishment where goods are sold to consumers. The term shop floor is
in contrast to office, which is a space that provides accommodation to the business's management.

The area in a manufacturing facility where assembly or production is carried out, either by
an automated system or by workers or a combination of both. The shop floor may include
equipment, inventory and storage areas.

Depending on the sector of production, there are various mechanical, electrical, electronic
and thermal equipment along with various tools used on the shop floor. This factor speeds up the
production and improves productivity of the business.

5S METHODOLOGY

5S is the name of a workplace organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words:
seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. Transliterated or translated into English, they all start
with the letter "S".

The list describes how to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by
identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new
order. The decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which
builds understanding among employees of how they should do the work.

The 5 S's:

• Seiri (sort)
• Seiton (straighten or streamline)
• Seiso (shine)
• Seiketsu (standardize)
• Shitsuke (sustain)

Additional S's:

• Safety
• Security

The 5 S’s:

There are five primary 5S phases: They can be translated from the Japanese as Sort,
Systematize, Shine, Standardize and Self-Discipline. Other translations are possible.

12
Seiri (sort):

• Remove unnecessary items and dispose of them properly

• Make work easier by eliminating obstacles
• Reduce chance of being disturbed with unnecessary items
• Prevent accumulation of unnecessary items
• Evaluate necessary items with regard to dept/cost/other factors.

Seiton (straighten or streamline):

• Arrange all necessary items in order so they can be easily picked for use
• Prevent loss and waste of time
• Make it easy to find and pick up necessary items
• Ensure first-come-first-serve basis
• Make work flow smooth and easy
• Can also be translated as "set in order"

Seiso (shine):

• Clean your workplace completely

• Use cleaning as inspection
• Prevent machinery and equipment deterioration
• Keep workplace safe and easy to work
• Can also be translated as "sweep"

Seiketsu (standardize):

• Maintain high standards of housekeeping and workplace organization at all times

• Maintain cleanliness and orderliness
• Maintain everything in order and according to its standard.

Shitsuke (sustain):

• To keep in working order

• Also translates to "Self-Discipline" meaning to do without being told Additional
S's

13
Safety:

The phase, "Safety", is sometimes added. There is debate over whether including this sixth
"S" promotes safety by stating this value explicitly, or if a comprehensive safety program is
undermined when it is relegated to a single item in an efficiency-focused business methodology.

Security:

The phase, "Security", can also be added. To leverage security as an investment rather than
an expense, the seventh "S" identifies and addresses risks to key business categories including
fixed assets (PP&E), material, human capital, brand equity, intellectual property, information
technology, assets-in-transit and the extended supply chain. Techniques adapted from those
detailed in Total security management (TSM) or the business practice of developing and
implementing comprehensive risk management and security practices for a firm’s entire value
chain.

The Origins of 5S:

5S was developed in Japan and was identified as one of the techniques that enabled Just in
Time manufacturing.

Two major frameworks for understanding and applying 5S to business environments have
arisen, one proposed by Osada, the other by Hirano. Hirano provided a structure for improvement
programs with a series of identifiable steps, each building on its predecessor. As noted by John
Bicheno, Toyota's adoption of the Hirano approach, was '4S', with Seiton and Seiso combined.
However, Toyota now uses the 5S as a standard.

Although the origins of the 5S methodology are in manufacturing, it can also be applied to
knowledge-economy work, with information, software, or media in the place of physical product.

FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS

Introduction:

Just as different functions in the human body are performed & regulated by different
organs, different functions within a business are performed & controlled by different parts of the
business. One of the reasons for separating business operations into functional areas is to allow
each to operate within its area of expertise, thus building efficiency & effectiveness across the
business as a whole. The key functional areas of a business are the following:

Purchase Department

Finance & Auditing

Production Department
Department

Human Resource
Marketing Department
Department

PURCHASE DEPARTMENT

Introduction:

The first function of any industry is purchasing the raw materials. Raw materials include
purchasing of metal sheet. Before purchasing the raw material, the sample will be tested after
checking the order send to concerned. The purchase is done through the brokers, commission
agents or through the direct dealing of the industry. Here Ashok Leyland will supply the raw
material While receiving the raw material manager has to check for the quality. Then after
receiving the metal sheet the weight is checked.

16
 The purchase nearly 200 Sheet at one time. They are using tempos as their mode of
transport for delivery of raw materials. basically, the purchase department is one of the major
departments by purchasing the raw materials for production. They buy raw material and some
machinery spares and some services which play a major role in production process this
department is very important in the entire organization. purchase department also working in
same procedure and this department is controlled by administration office. And the raw-
materials are purchased from Ashok Leyland.

Functions of purchase department are following:

 To purchase and receive the raw materials from suppliers.

 To receive the raw materials invoice papers.
 To maintain the stock in the inventory.
 And finally issue the raw material to production department and invoice papers to
accounts department for next process of work

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

Introduction:

A production department means a sector of the company that is responsible for

manufacturing products or services.The production department is responsible for the production
of product. The various processes in production section are

Process:

Raw Material Shearing Press Brake

Finished Goods Inspection Welding

Raw material:
Raw materials are materials or substances used in the primary production or
manufacturing of goods. Raw material is supplied by Ashok Leyland to the ARC fabs
company.

17
Shearing:

If the cutting blades are straight the process is called shearing; If the cutting blades are
curved then they are shearing-type operations. The most commonly sheared materials are in
the form of sheet metal or plates; however, rods can also be sheared. Shearing-type operations
include: blanking, piercing, roll slitting, and trimming. It is used for metal, fabric, paper and
plastics.

Press brake:

A press brake is a machine pressing tool for bending sheet and plate material, most
commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a
matching punch and die.

Welding:

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics,

by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion.

18
Welding is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and
soldering, which do not melt the base metal.

Inspection:

An inspection and test plan, or inspection test plan, is a document or series of document
used for quality assurance purposes. An inspection and test plan outline how the quality of a
particular object will be ensured both at its beginning and throughout its service life.

Finished good:

The fabrication process being by cutting blank shapes a third dimension. Next, we
assemble the pieces, usually by welding although riveting, screwing and adhesives are
possible. Finally, we have assembled product finished with an attractive and durable outer

Present customer:
Ashok Leyland is the second-largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles in India, the
third-largest manufacturer of buses in the world, and the tenth-largest manufacturers of trucks.
Headquartered in Chennai, its manufacturing facilities are spread across the country namely
Ennore (Tamil Nadu), Bhandara (Maharashtra), Hosur (two units), Alwar (Rajasthan) and
Pantnagar (Uttarakhand). Ashok Leyland also has manufacturing units spread across the globe
with a bus manufacturing facility in Ras Al Khaimah (UAE), one at Leeds, United Kingdom and
a joint venture with the Al teams’ group for the manufacture of high-press die-casting extruded
aluminium components for the automotive and telecommunications sectors. Ashok Leyland has
recently been ranked as 34th best brand in India. The manufactured product will be sent to the
Ennore and Hosur warehouse. Ashok Leyland's technical centre, at in the outskirts of North
Chennai near Minjur, is a state-of-the-art product development facility, that apart from modern
test tracks and component test labs, also houses India's one and only six poster testing equipment.

Focus:
Our company focusing the company of TAFE and TVS to build the relationship for their
trading. Their approach will be a top-level management communication with both companies.
They influenced the top-level management to deal with the customer order. So, there is no
methodology till now to get customer through marketing sector.

FINANCE AND AUDITING DEPARTMENT

Introduction:

Financial department do this efficient and effectively management of money(funds) in such

a manner as to accomplish the objectives of the organization. It is the specialized function directly
associated with the top-level management.

• Fund allocation
• Ledger maintenance
• Auditing and Purchase plan

Fund allocation:

An asset allocation fund is a fund that provides investors with a diversified portfolio of
investments across various asset classes. Popular asset categories for asset allocation fund include

26
stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents that may also be spread out geographically for additional
diversification.

Ledger maintenance:

Ledger maintenance and the maintenance of financial records in general are vital to a
company's success. Managers cannot make well-informed decisions if they don't know how
much money the company currently has at its disposal, how much debt it has and how much
revenue it makes. For instance, poor record maintenance might cause a small business owner to
think that his company has more cash available than it does, so he might spend on advertising
only to realize he doesn't have the money to pay for other expenses when he needs it. Good record
maintenance can also help businesses justify tax deductions and file accurate tax returns.

Auditing and Purchase plan:

The audit process is nearly identical to the audit of any other business. However, the audit
process in manufacturing companies revolves around inventory balances. During the initial stage
of the audit process, auditors must observe and physically calculate the company’s inventory.
This procedure is required to avoid accounting frauds caused by falsification of inventory
records. The inventory balance in the company’s financial statements is a function of the amount
and value of inventory held by the company. After conducting an inventory observation that
focuses more on the quantity of inventory, the auditor must then test the costs on the company’s
inventory. After conducting the inventory observation and price testing, the auditor must then
analyse the results. From there, they can find out whether there are errors in the company’s
financial statements or losses that have been experienced by the company. After the analysis
process is complete, then the auditor must make an evaluation report of all audit activities carried
out. The report must be submitted to the party who appointed them to carry out the audit. In this
report, the auditor must also provide advice and recommendations that help improve the
company’s financial management.

MACHINERY & TOOLS

Introduction:
A machine is a thing that is created by people to make work easier. It is a tool or invention
which multiplies the effect of human effort. The machine produces a mechanical advantage.
Often a machine will change one form of energy to another form of energy. Simple machines
increase or change the direction of a force.

Shearing Machine:
Shearing machines are multipurpose devices used in the cutting of alloys and another sheet
metal. Some shearing machines use a scissor-like, angular shear action to cut metal into sheets
or strips. Other, larger machines use a straight shear action with the blade fixed at an angle as
opposed to the angular movement.

Press Brake Machine:

A press brake is a machine tool used for bending metal parts and sheets up to 20 mm thick.
It is a composed of V-shaped or U-shaped die and a punch. The material to be bent is placed on
the die and pressed by the punch which then bends the sheet to the selected degree.

Welding Machines:
A welding machine is a device used to join materials together. Welding machines produce
heat that melts metal parts so that these parts can be joined. Thus, when it cools, it becomes a
fixed & resistant joint.

31
Tools Rack:
Rack or racking, one of the fundamental tools in material handling industry, is a steel
structure composed of two or more upright frames, beams, and connectors for the purpose of
supporting materials in storage. Most commonly they are assembled by welding, bolting or
clipping. Steel pallet rack structures are designed to facilitate the maximum storage of product,
provide accessibility for order picking, protect the product, organize the flow of product within
a warehouse.

GOVERNMENT POLICY’S

Introduction:

A government policy is a rule or principle that hopefully better guide decisions, resulting
in positive outcomes that enhance the business. Government policies contain the reasons things
are to be done in certain way.

National Steel Policy (NSP):

Finalized by the Ministry of Steel and notified on 8th May 2017, the NSP laid down key
imperatives to ensure that the Indian steel sector is prepared to service the growing requirements
of modern India and to promote a healthy sustainable growth for the sector.

Steel Scrap Policy (SSP):

To ensure adequate availability of scrap for steel manufacturers which will reduce imports
and improve competitiveness of Indian steel sector. Steel scrap policy has been notified on 7th

SWOT ANALYSIS

Introduction:

A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic
planning process. Environmental factors internal to the firm usually can be classified as strengths
(S) or weaknesses (W), and those external to the firm can be classified as opportunities (O) or
threats (T). Such an analysis of the strategic environment is referred to as a SWOT analysis.

SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own weaknesses. For
example, it may tend to persuade companies to compile lists rather than think about what is
actually important in achieving objectives. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and
without clear prioritization so that, for example, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong
threats.

33

CONCLUSION

As a postgraduate of the Gandhigram University, we would like to say this internship

program is an excellent opportunity for us to get to ground level and experience the things that
we would have never gained through going straight into a job. I am grateful to the Gandhigram
university and ARC Fabs for giving us this wonderful opportunity.

This internship experience is very helpful in gaining practical knowledge. It helped in

gaining knowledge about the contribution of various departments to the company. Organizational
structure is clearly understood and the values of the industry were clearly studied. The work
allotted in the various departments helped to gain knowledge in that particular one and how it is
interconnected with other departments and to the company. The basics and the various details
about the manufacturing industry were completely learned. It helped to develop work habits and
attitudes necessary for job success. It also helped to develop some interpersonal skills that are
required in work environment.
