CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Objective of Industrial Training:
The main objective of the Industrial Training is to experience and understand real life situations in industrial organizations and their related environments and accelerating the learning process of how students knowledge could be used in a realistic way. In addition to that, industrial training also makes one understand the formal and informal relationships in an industrial organization so as to promote favorable human relations and teamwork.Industrial training also provides a systematic introduction to the ways of industry and developing talent and attitudes, so that one can understand how Human Resource Development works. Moreover, students can gain hands-on experience that is related to the students majoring so that the student can relate to and widen the skills that have been learnt while being in university. Industrial training also exposes the students to the real career world and accustoms them to an organizational structure, business operation and administrative functions. In conclusion, there is strong evidence that industrial training is highly beneficial to students development, and it is highly valued. The students are well equipped to manage the period of industrial training successfully and undoubtedly gain useful experience of applying their specialist and technical skills, as well as developing their personal and communications skills. This internship also help student to prepare for the work environment and also teach the ergonomics of organizations in the real world. In brief:

To understand the organization structure of an industry. To understand Management skills. To understand the functions and responsibilities of different departments.

1.2 Methods of Industrial Training

There are many methods used to assist me in gathering sufficient information for my report. The main source of information was gathered through interviews with particular employees and managers. They were very approachable and assisted me in providing information and knowledge. Next, I also used discussion method to gather information. I discussed with the staffs on certain task that I was not sure and they helped me by explanation briefly about their job description and also about the organization.

Apart from that, I also used observation method to gather information for my project. I observed how the operations are carried out, how the employees interact among themselves, how the working culture is practiced, how the relationship between the manager and the sub ordinates is and the how the working environment is.

1.3 Scope of Industrial Training:

Industrial Training is very important for student learning process in order to understand the theory that already learned and relate it with practical which have been done in practical work at sites, labs, workshops and much more. Therefore, the trainee should be able:

To train at real working situation at industries before applied the real job. T o e xpose to a new technology and applications in engineering. T o respect and follow the companys rules. To involve in the real working environment. To i mprove students confidence and develop responsibility. To know how to solve a problem that occurs in a real work. To increase the creativity and innovative during the work. To improve working skill.

CHAPTER 4 MY OBSERVATIONS AND TASK

As a CIM student I studied the plant layout, cell layout and the process flow of a product of a particular variety (Customer Company)

Fig 4.1 Layout of SSLP (Not to scale)

4.1 CASE STUDY (ISHIKAWA PRODUCT MODULE):

In this cell the final part obtained is the drag link for cars like MARUTI 800 and OMNI. This final part is obtained by assembling ball pin and socket which are manufactured in this cell and then finally assembling them. A drag link converts rotary motion from a crank to a second crank or link in a different plane or axis. The term is commonly used in automotive technology for the link in a four bar steering linkage that converts rotation of a steering arm to a center link and eventually to tie
Dept of Mechanical engineering, PESCE, Mandya 14

Industrial Training At M/s Rane (Madras) Limited, Mysore.

rod links which pivot the wheels to be steered. A drag link is used when the steering arm operates in a plane above the other links. The drag link converts the sweeping arc of the steering arm to linear motion in the plane of the other steering links. Typically, one end of the drag link is connected via the Pitman arm and steering gearbox to the steering wheel (providing the connection between the driver and the steering system); the other end is attached to the vehicle frame by the idler arm.

Fig 4.2 Drag link assembly Ishikawa product module(Integrated cell) is as shown in the figure

CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSION
As a postgraduate student I would like to say that a training program like an industrial training is an excellent opportunity for me to get to the ground level and experience the things that we would have never gained through going straight into a job. I am grateful to my college PESCE and Dept of Mechanical Engineering, for including training like this in the curriculum. The industrial exposure and learning is the best way to get the knowledge about the manufacturing world. It gives clear picture of the organization. The main objective of the industrial training is to provide an opportunity to postgraduates to identify, observe and practice how engineering is applicable in the real industry. It is not only to get experience on technical practices but also to observe management practices and to interact with fellow workers. During my stay at RML, I got hat experience and the feeling of responsibility. It was a great experience. Engineering personnel of the RML are people that have a lot of experience. All of them were willing to help in my training. They have a vast knowledge about the fields they are work with. So it was easy to learn from them. The 2 months training that I received at Rane (Madras) Ltd., was great experience for me not only on technical terms but also in terms of interaction with other workers. I learnt a great deal on applying the knowledge I have gained at the college. Learning something from books and lectures is nothing like having firsthand experience. At Rane I got to apply my knowledge. The company gives the full freedom for the trainee. The trainees are allowed to ask and do anything relevant to the training. Engineers are always very enthusiastic on giving us the best training experience.
