SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT:
On my first day of internship Mr. Digvijay Ingale explained me about supply chain
department of Kirloskar. Department, structure, Buffer penetration report and overall
working
Kirloskar Supply chain management works in following way:
Supply chain Management:
Company’s SCM activities are operated from two places and it is consist of two main parts
1. Sourcing and Vendor development
2. Procurement
1. SOURCING:
� The first step in sourcing is to check the design for manufacturing. This department
takes designs from manufacturer and checks it for feasibility and costs.
� The next step is supplier or vendor selection. According to the requirement of the
design of products the material required are determined and the supplies for these
materials are selected. This is decided by the Supplier Quality Inspection (SQI)
department. It studies the design and decides the supplier on the basis of costs,
quality and accuracy required for the particular design of product.
� The third step is to pilot the design for regular production. The design is forwarded
to PPC department for planning the assembly of product according to the demand
and estimated time required for production.
After sourcing and vendor development the next job of this department is procurement
of the product.
2. PROCUREMENT:
� The first step in procurement is receiving the assembly plan from PPC (Planning
production and control) department. PPC department plans the assembly of the
product according to the design requirement and the cost reduction and forward
production plan to purchase department.
� The second step is to run the MRP (Material Resource Planning).
According the assembly plan received from PPC, the requirement of raw material is
decided. Also some specific parts that cannot be manufactured in the plant are
identified and suppliers are shortlisted according to quality requirement of the
product.
� The R&D (Research and development) department of the company is not much
stressed. But the critical tests for specific parts are carried out by this department.
� The third step is to obtain and analyze the output of MRP.
� According to the output of MRP, the requirement of material and the schedules of
the production are generated by this department. This is done by considering many
factors such as product takt-time, time for completion of assembly for one sample,
demand in market, availability of materials etc.
This department is also responsible for the communication of quality problem to the
suppliers. If there is any problem with the material casted or the precision of finished
product bought, this department communicates the problems to the suppliers the necessary
measures are taken by suppliers to improve the quality.
STORES:
It is one of the important links in supply chain management. The basic function of
this department is handling the material from the time is received up to it is sold.
The working of this department is broadly classified into five major functions:
1. RECEIPT: In this function a symmetric and standard approach is used to check and record
all the instructions. This includes making of GRR (Good receiving receipt), checking invoice at
the gate and also producing documents like OFB (Original for buyer), DFT (Duplicate for
transfer). Sometimes acknowledgement copy and extra copy is required for different
purpose like cashing and excise duty etc.
2. UNLOADING: During invoice verification, every vehicle is given a tracker which tracks the
position of the vehicle throughout the plant. This helps in determining the time taken for
unloading. There are three gates where material is unloaded.
3. STORAGE: After material is unloaded it is taken to different places through trolleys,
Forklifts, caskets, bins etc. Different storage methods are used to store different materials.
For e.g. low value and low volumes items are stored according to ‘Two Bin System’. Each bin
contains the material for 3 days. When a bin pets emptied it is taken for replenishment.
Meanwhile the other bin is used for production.
4. ACCOUNTABILITY: After the storage, the materials are issued for different lines according
to the plan issued by PPC. Accountability section verifies the product physically and also
checks for daily consumption of the materials.
5. DISPATCH: The main aim of this process is to inspect or check the final product. Scrap
disposal is also managed by this process.
Overall flowchart of this department is:
Fig: Store department flowchart
The department also maintains a buffer stock for each line. The various factors influencing
this process are
1. Lead time
2. Lack time
3. Total replenishment time
4. Production volume per line

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
To study and ensure the availability of material handling equipments in engine plant one.
OBJECTIVES:
Keep record of material handling system in engine plant one that will help in setting up new
material handling system in engine plant two.
To reduce the number of handlings as well as the overall cost of material handling
equipment and reducing the distances through which the materials are handled.
Improved working conditions and greater safety in movement of materials
Contribute to better quality by avoiding damage to products by inefficient handling.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Efficient material handling is important to manufacturing operations. Materials sent
by vendors must be unloaded, moved through inspections and production
operations to stores and finally to the shipping department
Material handling principles:
Eliminate handling
If not, make handling distance as short as possible
Keep moving
If not, reduce the time spent at terminal points of a route as short as possible
Use simple patterns of material flow
The simplest path is a straight line, if not, avoid back tracking, crossovers
Carry pay loads both ways
If not, minimize time spent on transport empty by changing speed in return route
Carry full loads
If not, decrease carrying capacity by lowering the speed
Use gravity
If not use, use a cheaper power source.
Equipment selection principle:
� Why? What? Where? When? How? Who?
� If we answer these questions about each move, the solution will become
evident.
The maintenance principle:
� Plan for preventive maintenance and scheduled repairs of all handling
equipment.
� Pallets and storage facilities need repair too.
The dead weight principle
� Try to reduce the ratio of equipment weight to product weight. Don’t buy
equipment that is bigger than necessary.
� Reduce tare weight and save money.
The capacity principle
� Use handling equipment to help achieve desired production capacity that is
material handling equipment can help to maximize production equipment
utilization.
These movements do not add value to the product but they do add value to the
cost
• Material handling analysis is a subset of plant layout. Method study, plant
layout and material handling are all part of the design of a production facility
• Material handling system and plant layout enhance effectiveness of each
other.
• Efficient operation of appropriate material handling methods reduces costs
and enables maximum capabilities to be derived from a given production
facility.

ONLINE MATERIAL HANDLING:
HA AND R1040 ASSEMBLY LINE:
For HA and R1040 assembly line ram material other than 5C components is being provided
by kit trolleys. Each assembly line has 40 kit trolleys for carrying raw material.
R1040 ASSEMBLY LINE:
Each day PPC department (Production planning and control) decides quantity to be
assembled. Store people update targets for that day on board.
According to the target operator of kit trolley put raw material on separate trolley for each
engine. There are total 32 types of engines that are assembled in R1040 line. For each type
of engine separate data sheets are prepared, operator puts material on the kit trolleys
according to the data sheets.

After collecting these parts, for heavy material and other critical parts operator takes other
data sheet. This datasheet shows number of critical parts to be placed on kit trolleys. After
this same operator from store area checks whether all parts are properly placed. For this
purpose, one datasheet is there that shows application code and number of parts in
different position on kit trolleys.

MATERIAL HANDLING ON MACHINE SHOP LINES:
FORKLIFT:
Forklift provides raw castings to the machine shop lines. One forklift is entirely dedicated to
provide raw castings and 5C store. This forklift also provides help for placing rejected
material, finished goods to its position.
KIT TROLLEYS:
Kit trolleys are specially designed to fit 5C component. Forsome 5C component kit trolleys
are designed with different capacities.

shop line. This crane is useful for only HA and R1040 machine shop lines.
PROBLEMS AND SUGESTIONS:
Maintenance and quality problems of stackers (Mainy)
Stacker of Mainy company are being used for placing material on to the racks, These
stackers has forks which carries material boxes. But these forks are not good in terms of
safety and quality as compared to Toyota reach truck. Both Toyota reach truck and Mainy
stackers are helpful for placing material boxes on racks.
Safety issues:
Forks of Toyota reach trucks nicely adjust to the boxes and prevent boxes from falling by
forming slope. But forks of stacker cannot be adjusted and remains straight. So while
handling material with Reach truck operator feels safer as compared to stacker.
Maintenance Problems:
Stackers have more maintenance problems as compared to reach trucks. Forks of Stackers
were damaged in the past and they are not as good as reach trucks.
Due to these problems maintenance time required for stackers is more and its availability
reduces so reach truck is good option. And as maintenance of reach truck is easy and
convenient so reach truck of Toyota provide solution to this problem.
Missing Asset Numbers?
Company has given asset number to every useful instrument. Asset number is the unique
identifier for an asset.
But these asset numbers are missing from pallet trucks and also from some forklifts. It is also found
that two forklift has same asset number. This problem might because those asset number plates
were fell down.
Providing asset number will not increase availability of these instruments but it will matter the
company which believes in 5S and kaizen.
Problem of R1040 crankcase machine shop line
Raw castings of R1040 crankcase are very long from input conveyor, and it requires unnecessary
trips of forklifts. So if raw castings of R1040 are placed near input conveyor then these unnecessary
trips of forklifts could be avoided.
Raw castings can be placed in front of input conveyor, if they get some place from SE store then raw
castings could be stored at that place and it will be convenient for operators of R1040 line to put raw
castings on input conveyor.
CONCLUSION
The material handling is important activity in any manufacturing plant. The speed of the
material flow across the supply chain depends on the type of the material handling
equipment and the sophistication in the system. In daily operation the material handling
system is designed in and around the plant. Commonly, the following material handling
operations are performed in the EP1, unloading the incoming material from transport
equipment, moving the unloaded material to the assigned storage place, lift the material
from its storage place during order picking, move the material for inspection and packing,
and load the packages on to the transport vehicle. These operations are performed using
manual or mechanized controlled material handling equipment. The mechanized system
shifts the fatigue to machine and brings effectiveness to human efforts. The selection of the
appropriate system depends on the factors such as volumes to be handled, speed in
handling.
So as a conclusion I can say that material handling does not add value to the product
but they do add value to the cost.
