RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is the process of systematic and in-depth study or research for any
particular topic, subject or area of investigation ,backed by collection, compilation,
presentation and interpretation of relevant details or data. It is a careful search or inquiry
into any subject or subject matter, which is an endeavor to discover or find out valuable
facts, which would be useful for further application or utilization. Research may
involved a scientific study or experimentation and result in discover or invention, which
would aid either scientific development or decision making. It may also established
relationship between variable and identified the ways and means for problem solving.
In this project the following type of research is to be done.
Descriptive research aims a fact-finding and more often is based on survey, its
purpose to descriptive the present state of affairs of the topic of study. Data are
collected by one or more of the method of – observation, interview.
Diagnostic research
This type of study is similar to a descriptive study but emphasizes on discovery
of what is happening, why is it happening and what can be done about it. It
attempts to identify the causes of a problem and its possible solution. it used case
study method or in-depth approach to discover the casual relations. It uses small
sample sizes and very deep probing data gathering devices.
XXXX
Sources of data collection
It includes primary and secondary data.
Primary data
Primary data can be collected either through experiment or survey. If the research
conducts an experiment, he observes some quantity measurements, or the data ,
with the help of which he examines the truth contained in his hypothesis.

IT APPLICATION IN MANUFACTURING
AT MAHINDRA AND MAHINDRA
Today India is leading towards financial superpower. This happened only due to
the wide increase in the industrial growth of India. Today production sector stands rank
has a major share in development of Indian economic. Day by day this sector is
increasing with great pace. It is been notice that though there is a tremendous growth in
industrial sector. In many firms the process of production and manufacturing is older and
ancient in order to cope up with increased composition in global level. India should go
for the automation of manufacturing process. This can be achieved with the help of
proper used of IT technology and MIS.
This makes easier the following things.
1. Transfer of information.
2. Increased speed of manufacturing.
3. Optimum use of resources.
4. Simplification of complex processes.
5. Cost reduction
6. Decrease in scrap and wastage.
7. Quality Control.

Manufacturing Environment
Computer-aided design (CAD) involves creating computer models defined by geometrical parameters.
These models typically appear on a computer monitor as a three-dimensional representation of a part or
a system of parts, which can be readily altered by changing relevant parameters. CAD systems enable
designers to view objects under a wide variety of representations and to test these objects by simulating
real-world conditions.
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) uses geometrical design data to control automated machinery.
CAM systems are associated with computer numerical control (CNC) or direct numerical control (DNC)
systems. These systems differ from older forms of numerical control (NC) in that geometrical data is
encoded mechanically. Since both CAD and CAM use computer-based methods for encoding geometrical
data, it is possible for the processes of design and manufacture to be highly integrated. Computer-aided
design and manufacturing systems are commonly referred to as CAD/CAM.
Advantages
• CAD is faster and more accurate
• Model development and associated activities like Drafting are easy and accurate
• Manipulation of dimensions, attributes are easy
• Repetition of entities is eliminated
• Model accuracy reduces assembly problems
• Usage of standard components, sub assemblies speed up design
• Enhances 3D visualization greatly
• Design modification is easy and less time consuming
CAD is used throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and layout,
through detailed engineering and analysis of components to definition of manufacturing methods.
Dominantly, the automotive and aerospace industries form the leading forces for CAD
development.
Mahindras provides complete range of CAD services specific to industries like
Aerospace, Automotive and General Engineering. The team possesses expertise in initial
feasibility study, layout preparation, detailed design and manufacturing techniques. The added
advantage of familiarity with international designs and practices makes us the right partner when
you wish to offload your jobs or need to augment your design teams. We have numerous team
members who have worked overseas for automotive and aerospace giants and constitute a
veritable knowledge base of international design practices and work culture.
The design group primarily works on CATIA, I-DEAS, Pro/Engineer, CADDs5, PDGS,
ICEM-SURF and Unigraphics and offers a broad range of specialized services:
• Class A Surfacing
• 3D Modeling
• 2D Detailing
• Packaging Studies
• BIW/Trim Development
• CFD Model Preparation
• Reverse Engineering
• PDM Drawings
Manufacturing Processes
• Mass Production
• Batch Production
• Job Shop or One off production
Mass Production
• Large lots of production
– High volume production, from thousands to millions
– Specialized manufacturing or assembly lines
– Short production time
– High production efficiency
– Higher initial costs
– Lower running costs
EX: Automobiles, two wheelers, Consumer products
Batch Production
• Medium Lots
– Typical batch size is from 100 to few thousands
– Special purpose machines are employed
– High productivity
– Can handle product variety with ease
– High job satisfaction
– Fairly lower product costs
EX: machine tools, Aircrafts, Vitrified tiles,
Advantages of CAM
Engineering design and manufacturing use CAD/CAM software for three distinctly
different purposes:
Definition
Computer Integrated Manufacturing, known as CIM, is the phrase used to describe the
complete automation of a manufacturing plant, with all processes functioning under
computer control and digital information tying them together. It was promoted by
machine tool manufacturers in the 1980's and the Society for Manufacturing Engineers
(CASA/SME). Quite often it was mistaken for the concept of a "lights out" factory. It
includes CAD/CAM, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, CAPP,
computer-aided process planning, CNC, computer numerical control machine tools,
DNC, direct numerical control machine tools, FMS, flexible machining systems, ASRS,
automated storage and retrieval systems, AGV, automated guided vehicles, use of
robotics and automated conveyance, computerized scheduling and production control,
and a business system integrated by a common data base.
Computer integrated manufacturing can include different combinations of the tools listed
above.
The Issues
One of the key issues regarding CIM is equipment incompatibility and difficulty of
integration of protocols. Integrating different brand equipment controllers with robots,
conveyors and supervisory controllers is a time-consuming task with a lot of pitfalls.
Quite often, the large investment and time required for software, hardware,
communications, and integration cannot be financially justified easily.
Another key issue is data integrity. Machines react clumsily to bad data, and the costs of
data upkeep as well as general information systems departmental costs is higher than in a
non-CIM facility.
Another issue is the attempt to program extensive logic to produce schedules and
optimize part sequence. There is no substitute for the human mind in reacting to a
dynamic day-to-day manufacturing schedule and changing priorities.
Pragmatic Applications
It might be more prudent for a company to begin the process of computer integration
with CAD/CAM and an integrated business data base. There are many reliable and
proven CAD/CAM software packages available, as there are integrated business software
systems. Taking small steps instead of a wholesale CIM approach is advisable.

wished to implement the SAP Business One system at their manufacturing units so as to
automate and integrate their disparate business systems. With the successful
implementation of the SAP Business One system Mahindra & Mahindra Industries are
integrating their business processes in a single framework thereby enabling them to
manage their business in a better and more efficient manner.
With the SAP Business One implementation at their manufacturing unit, Mahindra &
Mahindra Industries enjoys the following benefits:
• The SAP Business One system has enabled Mahindra & Mahindra Industries to
integrate their disparate business systems thereby enabling them to obtain an accurate
and complete view of their business. This in turn enables them to take more qualified and
profitable business decisions. .
• The SAP Business One system streamlines the flow of information between functional
departments thereby reducing data redundancy
• With the consolidation of business processes into a single framework, Mahindra &
Mahindra Industries can easily review the status and performance of their business at any
point in time. .
Summary
Mahindra & Mahindra Industries has successfully implemented the SAP Business One
solution at Mahindra & Mahindra Industries thereby providing them with a means to
integrate their business processes and streamline the flow of information between the
various functional departments.
With implementation of SAP the business process of Mahindra and Mahindra turn into
greater efficiency and productivity, Mahindra & Mahindra Industries has successfully
implemented ERP applications in various organizations.
In this report I am taking the following modules which are implemented by Mahindra
and Mahindra Ltd,
Quality Control for items is an essential activity as it helps in reducing the operational
costs and the delays and number of rejections in the production process.
The quality of the items can be verified against a set of parameters. The result of the
verification can be stored in the Quality Management module thereby enabling
organizations to maintain a record and conduct an analysis of the same.
The Quality Management module can be used to maintain a record of the quality levels
of the items being procured by an organization from various suppliers and vendors.
Performing a quality check at the incoming stage helps in ensuring that only approved
items sent for production thereby reducing the number of rejections and delays.
Additionally, a quality check can be performed on the finished goods and the results of
the same can be recorded in the Quality Management module. The Quality Management
module also handles and records the rejection of items from the shop floor.
The data pertaining to the items and their quality levels can be used to analyze the
performance and generate ratings for various suppliers and vendors. This in turn enables
managers to make decisions on the vendors/suppliers from whom the orders are to be
placed.
The Quality Management module can be used to record the quality levels of individual
or batch items. In case of batch items, quality checks can be performed on samples.
FEATURES
The Quality Management module includes the following elements and features:
Parameter Master.
The quality of the goods is measured against a set of parameters. Using the parameter
master, managers can create a database of quality parameters/attributes against which the
quality of an item can be verified. Apart from the name of the parameter, its unit or
measure can also be stored in the parameter master. Depending on the nature of the
attribute, a parameter can be qualitative or quantitative. The parameter master also
includes an option to disable specific parameters from the listing. A disabled parameter
cannot be associated with items.
Item-Parameter Association
The Quality Management module is integrated with the Inventory module of the SAP
Business One application. While adding the details of an item in the system, managers
can associate parameters, from the parameter master, against which the quality of the
item will be verified. The manger has the option to specify the maximum and minimum
permissible parameter limits for the item.
The manager can also assign a separate rejection and approved warehouse for the item.
In case an item does not pass the quality check, it is assigned to the rejection warehouse
defined for the item. Similarly, an item passes the quality check is assigned to the
approved warehouse. The manger can enter his remarks pertaining to the
approval/rejection of the item.
We have also built a provision that enables the manger to set whether a quality check, for
an item, is mandatory or not. In case the quality check is mandatory, the invoice cannot
be raised till the quality check has been completed.
Quality Control
To record the quality levels of items, an interface displaying all the assigned quality
parameters with their maximum and minimum permissible limits, for an item, is
displayed to the manager. The manager can verify the quality of the item against the
parameters and record the results of the same, along with his comments. The item can
then accordingly be assigned to the approved or rejected warehouse.
• Incoming QC: An incoming quality check takes place when the goods are
received from a vendor/supplier. On receipt of the goods, a Goods Receipt
Purchase Order needs to be raised in the SAP system. In case a mandatory quality
check option has been set for an item/batch contained in the goods receipt
purchase order, the manager will not be able to raise the goods receipt order, till
the quality process for the incoming goods has been completed. The items that
are approved are sent for production.
• In Process QC: The Quality Management module can be used to record the
items that were rejected from the shop floor. The manager is provided with
options to record the reasons for the same and raise a shop floor rejection within
the application. A rejected item is sent to the assigned rejected warehouse.
• Final QC: Before the finished goods are sold to the customer a quality check of
the finished goods takes place. As in the same of incoming QC the manager can
record the results of the quality check in the system. Rejected goods are sent to
the assigned rejection warehouse. Conversely, approved goods are sent to the
dispatch warehouse where it awaits distribution.
The Quality Management module includes a reporting section that enables the evaluation
and analysis of the results of the quality checks performed on various items/batches. On
the basis of the results of the quality checks, the system also generates and assigns
ratings for the various vendors and suppliers. A review of the rating reports can help
managers in taking decisions.
ADVANTAGES
• With item/batch wise details of rejections and acceptances stored, it is easy for
managers to generate and view a rating of various vendors/suppliers thereby
enabling them to take decisions regarding the vendors/suppliers from whom
future orders are to be placed.
• Enforcing a quality check on items ensures that a quality check is performed and
only those goods that pass the quality checks are sent for production.
• The Quality Management module also helps in keeping track of the item/batch
rejections and the reasons for the same. Quality parameters and their permissible
limits are defined within the system. This in turn helps in judging and evaluating
the level and degree of rejections.
Based on the rejections, a rating report can be generated for all vendors and
suppliers. Based on these reports, managers can take decisions regarding which
vendor to place orders from.
Production Planning Module
Production Planning add-on for SAP Business One that enables organizations to track
and schedule the production on basis of the machine capacity and availability. Through
the Production Planning module managers can plan and forecast the utilization and
availability of resources for the production process thereby enabling organizations to
increase efficiency and productivity and at the same time minimizing production time
and costs.
Through the Production Planning module managers can determine which machines are
to be utilized. They can also prioritize the production schedule on the basis of the
availability of resources to determine the estimated date of delivery (i.e. forward
planning) or on the basis of the committed delivery date (i.e. backward planning).
Through the Production Planning module managers can effectively track the progress of
production orders through the various stages and can determine whether or not the
delivery schedules will be met. .
FEATURES
The features and elements available within the Production Planning add-on module are
as follows:
Masters
The Production Planning module enables managers to create and maintain a database of
parameters/attributes that are required for proper scheduling or the production orders.
The various masters available within the add-on are as follows:
• Setup: Managers can use this screen to define the working hours (i.e. start time and end
time) followed in the manufacturing unit. Through this screen managers can also define
the lead time to be taken into consideration while scheduling the production orders.
• Work shifts: Through the Work Shifts interface the managers can define and store the
various work shifts that are being followed in the unit.
• Machine Group Center: Multiple machines can be grouped together. The machine
group center interface enables managers to define machine group centers into which the
machines can be classified. . .
• Machine Calendar: A calendar for the machines (detailed the working days and the
holidays) can be created in the Production Planning add-on module. The calendar in turn
can be used to schedule the availability of the machines. Through the Machine Calendar
interface the manager can define the days of the week on which the machine will be
operated. For each day of the week that the machine will be operated the working hours
(i.e. start time and end time) can be defined. Through the interface the manager can also
define the holiday list (i.e. days on which the manufacturing unit is closed). The
production orders are scheduled keeping in mind the list of holidays.
• Machine Center: The Machine Center interface is used to define and store the details of
the machines that are available for use in the production process. Details such as the
machine name, cost of operating the machine (direct cost, indirect costs, and overheads),
machine capacity and efficiency can be stored. The machine can be assigned to a
machine center group. A machine calendar needs to be associated with the machine.
• Calendar Entries: The manager can generate a calendar for a machine, for a specific
time period. The system will use the working days and holidays (as mentioned in the
Machine Calendar) to generate the calendar for the specified date range. Details such as
machine name, work shift when the machine was used, the start date/time, the end
date/time, capacity, efficiency is displayed. The capacity of the machine will vary
according to the start and end times. The manager can enter the actual capacity of the
machine and his comments/reasoning for the same.
• Operation Master: The various operations that are to be performed on the machines can
be defined and stored in the Operation Master. The operations thus defined are then
associated with a machine. . .
• Routing Master: The Routing Master can be used to define a route i.e. various
operations to be included in a production process and the order in which they are to be
performed. A route is then associated with a production order.
Scheduling
After assigning a route to a production order the manager can now schedule the
production. The scheduling interface lists all the pending production orders. The
manager can set the priority of the production orders and schedule them according to the
start date of the production orders or on the basis of the date of delivery. In case the date
of delivery option has been selected, the lead time (as defined in the setup screen) will be
used to calculate the date.
The Reports generated through the Production Planning module enables managers to
track and monitor the production schedules and their progress. The reports that can be
generated are:
• Production Scheduling Report: The production scheduling report details all the
productions orders that have been scheduled. The report can be filtered according to
various criteria such as date, machines used, production orders etc.
• Job Card: The Job Card displays the details of all production processes that have been
completed. The manager can enter his comments on the same thereby enabling it to be
monitored.
ADVANTAGES
The Production Planning add-on module offers the following advantages:
• The Production Planning module provides real time information on the availability of
resources.
• It helps accurately determining the date or completion and start dates so as to ensure
timely delivery of the orders.
• Through the Production Planning module the various stages in the production process
can be scheduled.
WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
The spare parts required for Automotive & Farm Equipment Sector dealers are
managed through this warehouse. Wireless hand-held terminals are used to scan the bar-
codes on the component packs. The same is integrated with SAP R/3 System and being
used to track the material during Pre-packing, Binning, Picking & Packing and error-free
warehouse processes. This has facilitated substantial improvement in productivity and
efficiency of warehouse staff to support high volume needs of the business.
In the manufacturing environment of the 21st century, several trends will place increasing
pressure on manufacturers:
Larger numbers of product variants will be required to meet user demands for greater
product customization. This will lead to pressures to reduce production lot sizes while
maintaining unit costs at an economic level. Manufacturers will need production
facilities that are economic and profitable at very low volumes and that have low "fixed"
costs.
Shorter time to market will become even more important than it is today. One aspect of
this issue will be the ability to deploy technology rapidly. Another will be the ability to
execute customer orders rapidly. Manufacturing concerns will emphasize work force
skills and empowerment in order to meet marketplace needs for speed
Global environmental concerns seem certain to motivate the development of ''green" and
recyclable products and manufacturing systems that use fewer material resources.2
Manufacturing systems should be able to accept "used" products that they have
fabricated, disassemble the received items into component parts, and determine which
parts are reusable or which are convertible into recyclable raw material with the ultimate
goal of a product that leads to zero scrap material. Of course, products will need to be
designed with such goals in mind.
CONCLUSION
IT also has implications for the way we think about the skills required in a
manufacturing environment.
As the implementation of any IT application likewise SAP is may very costly for
the organization but the impact of these type of technology is for long term
benefits and help in business growth.
IT applications are driven with the objective of providing the best products and
services to the customer at optimal cost and simultaneously ensuring the value to
M&M's business partners
The adoption of Information Technology has moved up the value chain, from
cost savings to business enablement. The business benefits of various business
solutions implemented have resulted in standardization, synergistic operations,
inventory reduction, easier consolidation, cycle time reduction and optimized
business processes leading to faster operations and informed decision-making.
IT has impacted all the business functions and processes in the organization, the
value of which can be seen more in creation strategic capabilities - such as
anytime, anywhere availability of secured information, facilitating collaboration
and improved communication within and outside the organization, effective
leveraging knowledge within the organization for business benefits, enabling
organization to be more customer centric and agile.
From the research I can judge the very much secured future of the IT application
in the manufacturing sector in terms of robotics , MIS , automations of the
processes etc;
It will certainly help the Indian manufacturers to serve the consumers effectively
due to the proper and pragmatic use of the information technology in the systems.
LIMITATIONS OF PROJECTS
The study of this project has been constrained upto a single manufacturing unit.
i.e. Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd; Hence, the information obtained is
comparatively restricted.
As Information technology is dynamic in nature. Hence, this study will may
become obsolete soon.
