INTRODUCTION
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of
Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by the lack
of an efficient public transport system.
Suzuki Motor Company was chosen from seven prospective partners worldwide. This was
done not only due to their undisputed leadership in small cars but also to their commitment
to actively bring to MSIL, contemporary technology and Japanese management practices
(which had catapulted Japan over USA to the status of the top auto manufacturing country in
the world).
A license and a Joint Venture agreement were signed between Govt. of India and Suzuki
Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982.
Maruti revolutionized the way Indians looked at cars. "No other car company so completely
dominates its home market" - (The Economist). Despite there being 11 companies now in
the passenger car market, Maruti holds about 60% of the total market share. MUL is also the
first and only car company in the world to lead its home market in terms of both market
share and in the JD Power Customer Satisfaction study (JD Power Asia Pacific 2000 India
Customer Satisfaction studies).
1.2 SHAREHOLDING
Maruti Suzuki India Limited was set up as a deemed public limited company in 1981 by an
Act of Parliament. MSIL was classified in the Public Sector as long as the equity of
Government of India remained over 51%. A License and Joint Venture Agreement was signed
in 1982, with Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) acquiring 26% of the equity. SMC increased
its equity to 40% in 1989.
In 1992, Maruti ceased to be a government company, as SMC's equity holding went up to
50%. In 2002, SMC's share went up to 54.2%, making MSIL a subsidiary of SMC. The
Govt. of India holds 46.6%, and employees trust holds the balance 0.2%.
In 2005, SMC's share went up to about 74%, making MSIL a subsidiary of SMC. The Govt.
of India holds about 26%, and employees trust holding the balance.
It has always been Maruti’s endeavor to achieve customer satisfaction through continuous
improvement of its product and services by following ‘PDCA’ (Plan-Do-Check-Act) in all
functions of its organization.
At Maruti, the approach to quality is in keeping with the Japanese practice-“build it into the
product”. Technicians themselves inspect the quality of the work. Supervisors educate and
instruct technicians to continually improve the productivity and quality. The movement of
quality indicators is reviewed in weekly meetings by the top management.
In 2001, Maruti Suzuki India Limited became the first automobile sector in the world to get
an ISO: 9001:2001 certifications. AV Belgium, global auditors for the International
Organization for standardization (ISO), certified Maruti after a four day long audit, covering
varied parameters like Customer focused organization, Leadership, Involvement of people,
Process approach, System approach management, continual improvement etc.
In May 1995, Maruti got ISO-9002 certification. The audit for this covered Quality
Assurance, production installation, marketing and sales as well as after sales services. Maruti
was also one of the first companies in the world to pioneer ISO 9000 certification for its
dealers.
In October 1993, MSIL passed the Conformity of Production (cop) audit, which is based on
a European Union directive. This authenticated its quality systems and testing facilities for
export to Europe.

Mart’s emphasis is on total quality has meant that today it is in a position to guide vendors
and dealers in establishing and consolidating their individual quality systems. This
commitment to quality has ensured a consistently satisfying product and world class sales and
after sales services.
“Quality circles are a group of five to eight members from a particular work area who work
as a team to identify the priorities and solve work related problems in the area. Maruti
believes that it is this unwavering commitment to quality that will lead to the further growth
of the organization as competition increases.
Maruti had a successful fiscal in 2003-04. Maruti's Total Income (net of excise) during the

The press shop can be regarded as the starting point of the car manufacturing process.
Centrally located between weld 1, weld 2 and weld 3, it supplies components to all the three
plants. The press shop has a batch production system whereas the plants have a line
production system. The press shop maintains an inventory of at least two days. The weld
shop as per the requirements picks the finished body parts from the press shop. These may
be divided as A, B and C. ‘A’ components are large outer components as for example roof,
door panels etc. these components are manufactured in the press shop at Maruti. Due to
The raw material is in the form of cold rolled steel coils. It is specified in terms of steel
grade and width of coil required. The coils weigh about 15000 kg.
There are two blanking lines; ROSL (Rotary Oscillatory shear line) for rectangular shapes and
the others employing die cutting for irregular shapes. The sequence of the operations on the
blanking line is as follows:
1. Uncoiling
2. Cleaning
3. Leveling
4. Measuring
5. Shearing/ cutting
6. Piling/ stacking
The body panels produced in the press shop and the other small components are joined here
to give the “white body” or “shell”. In a typical car body 1400 different components are
welded together. The weld shops have the following facilities.
1. Welding jigs
2. Spot welding guns
3. Kawasaki welding robots
4. Hemming machines
5. Punching machines
Here different underbody panels are welded together. These comprises of rear underbody,
central underbody, front engine room panel. These underbody panels are prepared on sub line
starting from singular components. The sub lines have specific jigs for each. There are chain
hosts for transferring the jobs from one jig to another on sub lines. Finally these underbodies
are put on the conveyor and welded together to give the underbody.
The chassis no. is punched on the cowl top and it is welded to the front engine room panel.
As the body moves on the conveyor roof and side body panels are welded to it to give the
main body. The side body panels are prepared on the sub lines.
The doors, hood and back door are attached on the main body with the help of bolts and
screws to the main body to make it a “white body”. The body is checked for dent, burr and
spatter and these defects are repaired. After inspection and repairs the body is called WBOK.
It is sent to the paint shop thereafter.
2.3.1 Pre-treatment
The body is thoroughly washed to remove the dirt and oil scales.
2.3.2 ED coat
This is done by electric deposition method. After applying the ED coat the body is baked in
oven.
This is done by spray painting method. After applying the coat, the body is dried in the
oven.
For metallic coating, double coats are applied and aluminum flakes provide to shine the
metallic paints. This is also done by spray painting method.
The PBOK, i.e. the paint body ok is sent to the assembly shop.
There are four engine assembly shops out of which three assemble engines having cast iron
cylinder block and one having that made of aluminum.
The models produced in the four shops are as below.
Engine-1 - Car, Omni. (Established 1985)
Engine-2 (Al) - Zen, Esteem, Baleno, Gypsy, Versa (Established 1992)
Engine-3 - Alto, Wagon R(Established 1995)
Engine-4 - Currently not working. (Established 1999)
Main parts:
1. Inlet and exhaust valves
2. Cotter valves
3. Retainer springs
4. Rocker arm assembly
5. Throttle body
6. Inlet and exhaust manifold
Several sub-assemblies involved in making the input shaft, countershaft etc. supply to the
T/M line.
It starts where the cylinder block and cylinder head are joined.
Main parts are:
1. Camshaft
2. Pulley belt drive for valve timing
The assembly shop receives the PB-OK i.e. paint body ok from the paint shop. Here the
body is loaded on an overhead conveyor. As the conveyor moves the body, fitments are
made at various stations. Components of Zen, alto, wagon-r are fitted on a common assembly
line. The sequencing of models is done by PLC i.e. Programmable Logic Control. There are
three Assembly shops named ASSY-1, ASSY-2 and ASSY-3. Plant 2 and Plant 3 has similar
setup but in Plant-1 there are separate assembly lines for separate models. Altering the speed
of the conveyor can alter the capacity of production.
The Assy-2 conveyor runs at 3.23m/min. the conveyor belt can run at the maximum speed of
4m/min. the assembly shop has a continuous production system. The assembly lines in plant 2
and Plant 3 both rare basically U shaped multi production lines. The assembly line can be
subdivided into the followings:
1. Trim line
2. Chassis line
3. Final line
The machine shop is the source of all major components for the engine assembly shop. The
un-machined crankshaft and camshaft forgings, transmission case, cylinder head and cylinder
block castings are brought in the form of raw materials from the vendors. The cylinder heads
and transmission case is aluminum castings while crankshaft and camshaft are steel forgings.

In vehicle inspection the vehicle is checked at checkpoints. At each check point different
parameters are checked. Each vehicle is issued a check sheet in which the operator at check
points marks down the defects if any, otherwise he marks an OK stamp. After the road test
if the vehicle have no defects marked in the check sheet it goes to the final check conveyor
belt where it is again checked for overall appearance.
If a vehicle has any defect then it is sent to the respective repair areas depending upon the
type of defect to the following repair areas: Assembly repair, Weld repair, Paint repair,
Engine assembly repair area etc.
In a repairing station skilled repairmen are present to rectify the defects. A repairman training
module is essential because it provides the proper ways to inspect and repair specific parts
like steering column repairing, knuckle repairing, bumper repairing, brake fail repairing, drive
shaft repairing etc. and at the same time providing the various Do’s and Don’ts while
repairing the vehicle.
This in turn helps in reducing the flow of secondary defects by the repairman to the
customer end.
3.2 OBJECTIVES
The methodology we followed to carry out this project required patience and care. We
were first needed to study the Assembly Shop-3 and the various repairing area
1st challenging task was to interview each and every operator about various important
points that should be kept in mind while performing the operation which are not
mentioned in MOS. Then the suggestions of each operator were duly noted. Then the
next task was to sum up almost similar points as one point. Then they were grouped
together under many subgroups. Then the points were verified by supervisors for their
genuinity and were further modified if required.
After being sub grouped we were supposed to take a photo to be used as visual aid
for understanding the point in a better way. The repercussion if not followed is also
mentioned alongside the Do’s and Don’ts. Finally the above collected data were sorted
out and was documented in a proper way in Microsoft Excel sheet.
The Excel sheet which was prepared was sent to the Vendor shop to be printed out in
a flex and board to be displayed in various locations in assembly line and repairing
area.
Following are the Module prepared in Excel sheet and presented in the report as the
image of the sheet.
After the each excel sheet was prepared and completed, the data was sent to vendor so as to be
printed in flex and board. The sample image sent by the vender is given in fig 1.
Finally the module was printed in A0 size board and displayed for centralized
information flow in the assembly line. The image of the board installed in the assembly
line-3 after completion of project is provided below in fig 2.
CONCLUSION
Finally concluding the project I want to state that Maruti Suzuki India Limited has
provided me an opportunity to study and gain knowledge in vehicle production. During
the process of the project I came to learn the various effective techniques to avoid
defects in production line and the various ways of repairing a vehicle. But out of all
those the support and brotherhood given by the Marutians’ will always be memorable.
