Background for the intended Project:

This project has been initiated to comply with the UN Climate action summit 2019 in
conjunction with the effective working of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). The
CCA (Clean Air Act) in line with other European stringent standards in ensuring the
enforcement of concrete, realistic plans for the industrial emissions to be implemented in
2022 has greatly forced to control the exhaust emissions by reducing particularly, harmful gas
emissions, bringing them down to 80% by controlling and lowering NO (Oxide of Nitrogen)
and Particulate Matter to almost zero percent.

Being the market leader there is a need to be innovative in modifying and incorporating the
innovative technological changes in the engine design and the manufacturing techniques that
focus greatly on controlling and reducing exhaust emissions.

The greater volume of sales is acquired from the European market then the OEM’s and lastly,
the Asian market that is also developing with the time. Therefore, the engines are being
provided, they should comply with the new regulations along with the high quality and
efficiency. It is a challenge for the GlobalEX to introduce and launch the product that are
aligned with new environmental legislation and work for both the existing and emerging
Asian market. 

Project Definition:

The purpose of the project is to give the innovative solution to control the hazard gases in the
emission from the engine. The purposed solution is to develop and component that is called
ratrofitted system it will work both with existing engine and future generation of the
company’s product.

Project Scope:

GlobalEX is adopted the strategy to facilitate the both the existing and potential customers by
the introducing an innovative solution to control the emission of environmental hazard
particle and gases.

The company will consider the changing dynamics of the market and follow the new
regulations strictly for offering a dynamic solution to both the existing customers with older
versions of engines and potential customers. There is an alteration in engines operation
mechanism with new electronic sensors and equipment to control harmful emission
efficiently.it optimizes the air-fuel ratio that minimizes the unburnt fuel and generation of the
other harmful emissions of the gases in an engine exhaust.

 The company is aiming to adopt a customer-focused strategy towards different


regions, as different regional markets have different regulations and legislation.
Therefore, there is a need of market research for the EU and US and it is also required
to take the input from the growing Asian market.
 The project will cover R&D to provide the suitable solution of the problem, also for
the mechanism design modification to adjust the new component in existing engine
blocks.
 The production of new engine by defaulting the proposed system in the engine block.
The redundancy in manufacturing time that incur extra cost.
 The modification and upgradation of production lines for each region to incorporate
new electronic gadgets and sensors and replace it with the conventional mechanical or
older versions or parts, that are offering better efficiency and control over the required
parameters and by monitoring in real-time and Improvising the different factors
resulting in these harmful emissions.

R&D department in this regard has been given timeframe of 12 months to design and propose
a suitable retrofitting exhaust system which could work with both the existing/old and new
engines to be produced in the market with minimum changes in terms of the previously
designed structure of the engines and which will be controlled by the ECM and sensors to
minimize the emissions.

The next 12 months will be required for the up gradation and automation of the assembly
lines capable to handle and produce retrofitted engines packaged completely under different
assembly lines to be shipped to the customers in different regions.

Project Objectives:

The aim of the project is to develop a new system for engine operation to control the harmful
emission from the engine. There is also modification and upgradation of the assembly line
to assemble the new parts in engine blocks to expedite the manufacturing process
emission in the exhaust

The environmentally smart objectives are aimed and worked upon as follows:

 To provide the innovative solution for the problem carry out research at different
technique to develop a relay that control the engine operation to control harmful
emission.
 Up-gradation and provision of old and new engines designed to be retrofitted with
exhaust systems and other sensors that comply with the new stringent regulations to
reduce the NO and PM close to zero percent by 2022
 Automation of the assembly lines to be able to package the engine blocks with the
newly developed retrofitted system components and electrical gadgets with minimum
changes in order to reduce the engine development time hence decreasing the cost and
extensive testing procedures and manufacture time
 Breakdown of the packaged systems and providing a range of power ratings with
various standard features and other additional features to be later added or customized
as per the customer requirements and based on their demands and volume of sales in
different regions

Deliverables:

the main deliverables for the projects are following:

i) To design and develop a relay system for the engine block


ii) Revision of Engine Blocks designs
iii) Revision of assembly line design

iv) Installation of new robotic arms on assembly line

v) Modification and upgradation of assembly line

Project Methodology and Exclusions:

As different countries around the world have different operational standards and operating
legislation. First the detail study will be conduct by the marketing department to find the
discrepancies of legislations for each regional county.GlobalEx will not only focus on modification of
the design for new engines but also consider to upgrade the already installed system to facilitate the
existing customers.

To become the key player in the market, the GoblEx consider the emerging Asian markets and their
requirements, so that the product will be lunched in other except European and US market timely,
to take the benefits of early lunch in the market.

To sustain the long-term business relationship with the existing customers, the system will be
developed that can be assembled with old engines to upgrade them, so they can align with the new
atmospheric standard.Furthermore,the assembly line will be upgrade so that the principal of lean
manufacturing for the new engines .

The GlobalEx has the strategy to facilitate different industires aroungd the globe,therefore product is
divided in two categories standard and customised product.the standard product will further
divided on the energy output of the engines,therefore, to get the certification there is excvessive
need of testing for each prototype of engine.these prototype have differet engy rating that are
following:

I) Class 1 prototpe has rated power 8.2 KW to 1886nKW


II) Class 2 has prototype has rated power 8.2KW to 700Kw
III) Class 3 Prototpe has power 650KW to 1300KW
IV) Class 4 prototpe has output from 1300KW to 1886KW
V) Class 5 will be customised product that has power more the 3000KW.

There are two world renowed methodoly that guide to manage the project from initation to closing
it.PM Book and Price 2 Methodlogy.in this the Price 2 Methodolgy will adopted during all phases of
the project.

There are many things that related with project but it is falling within the domain of the project

GlobEX in this project, aiming for the launch of the new legislation compliant engine series
has divided the deliverables into 3 stages. 1 stage is the detailed product specifications and
st

that the assembled product should be as per the regulations to be implemented in 2022 and
the design and manufacturing of retrofit system by the R&D department should also be
compatible on the older versions along with ensuring and guaranteeing the efficiency and the
emissions of the harmful gases at the minimal level and kept as specified in the regulations.

The product ranges will be divided into five categories 

8.2-450

450-495

495-945

945-1395

1395-1886

And further divided into 2 product categories as follows:

Standard Product Line

Premium Product Line

with each category to have a prototype being manufactured and packaged that will undergo
an extensive series of tests and certification to ensure compliance with the regulations. The
existing older versions will also undergo extensive testing to analyze and evaluate the
customized retrofitting kit which could also mean the existing customers can also benefit by
having the engines working under the same conditions with the same efficiency and
compliance to the updated legislation.

The Product ranges would be

There is always trade off among the time cost and performance .For the trade-off there must
be setting the priorities by understanding the nature of the project. Need to define the
priorities matrix for the engine design project for the project to identify the which criterion
constrained ,which should be enhanced and which should be accepted.in assignment the
constrained will be on the time, cost need to reduced and quality will be accepted.
