The main function of this production dept. is to produce the buses which
are fit to travel. The whole stretch of the functions that they perform goes this
way, right from the beginning. First the Traffic dept puts up requisition with the
production with the production dept. The number of buses they need to deploy it
into the routes scheduled. These buses will be newly built and send to the traffic
dept. within the said date. This is called “ARGUMENTATION” The buses
which are due for repair, the buses which are partly obsolete, the buses which are
partly damaged due to an accident and the buses which are scrap ( scrap means
the buses which have run 7.5 lakhs Kms will be considered scrap) will be looked
into. By the engineers and will be reconstructed again. This is called
“Reconstruction”.
So by taking orders from both the areas I.e. ‘Argumentation’ and
‘Reconstruction’ they start their function. Suppose if the orders and up to say
around 1500 buses. This Traffic dept. make out the feasible solution by
considering the resources and the time available to meet the requirement and will
 take up and finish off only those orders which the production dept. Thinks it can
and remaining orders it will call the national level tender and will grant them the
tender who meets their specifications and bids at L! price.
For this year, from both the areas, the order has added up to 1809 buses.
This production dept. produce only the body of the bus, which will be build over
the chassis and rest of the things such as seats, chassis, wheels etc. they will
outsource. They will outsource to those organization that did the L1 price in the
tender and they should not only quote or did L1 price in the tender call but also
have to meet certain specifications given by the production dept.
It is companies like Tata Motors, and Ashok Leyland who is producing the chassis
for the
BMTC buses in the recent past years by winning the bid for most of the times
