Chapter one

1.1Brief history
Hibret manufacturing democratic machine building industry is a part of federal democratic republic of
Ethiopia metal Engineering Corporation. It is one of the biggest branch of metal engineering corporation
(METEC). METEC has different factory around all over Addis Ababa. Such as Kality basic metal industry,
Gafat engineering etc… are company located under METEC.

Hibret manufacturing and machine building industry s located in Addis Ababa, Lideta Kifle
Ketema,Kebele 07,around Mexico square and it cover an area of 97,025 square meters. This industry
was established between the agreement of our country and the Czechoslovakian government here at
Addis in 1945E.C at an estimated cost of birr 2,000,000.00. it was expand in 1977E.C with the expense
of birr 82,000,000.00.the main objective was to produce different type of ammunition of simple bullet,
woodwork and metal work, medals and badges, and tools and spare part.

Before the current name given as hibret manufacture and machine building industry, it was described
name at different time frame by different time frame by different groups. The names of the industry
were:

 His majestic H/Silassie ammunition factory

 Addis machine tools factory
 Addis metal pressing enterprise
 Tools and spare part of design and manufacturing center
 Addis engineering center
 Hibret machine tool engineering complex

The current HHMBI officially known in new name in 2000E.C re-structure itself by applying new
management concepts to add some value to the countries staggering manufacturing industry. Coming
out of its past history, currently the complex was stretched to industry. It is now given the new vision
and direction from the Ethiopian government and restructured itself, under the metal and engineering
corporation to meet the target it was established for.

It has a great purpose developed and implemented a quality management system in order to document
the industry’s best business practices, and better satisfy the requirements and expectations of its
customers and improve the overall management of the industry.
1.2 The main product of the company
HMMBI is worked to safety costumer needs and to develop our country. It produce the part of lathe and
milling machine and for the new sugar company and for great ranacanses dam produce the row
material like fasteners (bolt and nut) and also long traded parts. the most customers are the company
under METTEC such us metal fabrication industry they work combine together for need work

2.1How I entered to the company
I get to the company, first my uncle advice me apply to in this company and help to improving my skill
and they have good mechanical Shop. But I was go to different company to choice by myself like rise
engineering, Volvo and Akaka basic metal. Based on same factor like near from my home and availability
the company placed for intern student. Then we apply together and diced to work.

When in the summer time our school gives later those apply to the company and with my two friends
we apply together.

2.2which area I have been working

Our company has different station are listed as follow:

 Conventional factory
 Precision factory
 Machine building factory
 Mechanical
 Material treatment factory

From those factories I have been worked in conventional factory. I entered this factory from those
because of human resource manager, he appoint all of as by dividing in group with five shops than i get
chance in to conventional shop with my two friends.

In conventional shop there are around five parts those are design room, quality control, martial
preparation, lath and milling machine shop and grinding room. Those part of conventional shop are
listed briefly below.

2.2.1Design Room
Mechanical design means the design of things and system of a mechanical nature, such as machines,
products, strictures devices and instrumentation . Machine design utilizes mathematics, the material
science and the engineering mechanics sciences.

In design room there are ten computers that have to catia software. In these room design operations
and technology description will be prepared about the work procedure.

From my school knowledge I knew that there are design calcifications:

 Adaptive design- this means the designer‘s work is concerned with adaptation of exciting
design. There is no need of special skill and attempted by designers of ordinary technical
training. The designer only makes minor modification in exciting design of the product.
 Development design- under this type needs scientific training and design ability in order to
modify the exciting design into a new idea even by changing the material and method of
manufacturing.
 New design-this type of design need research, technical ability and creative thinking. Those
designers have a personal quality of the work of a new design.

In this design section the performance of the designers sometime used to design new idea or developed
design but most of time they receiving a sample to do the design. The customers come with some
sample that may be damage in machine part and the order can be in huge amount. For the similar work
only one design is done.

The next process after design done by CATIA is writing technology. Technology is a procedure that
describes the operations in machine. Technology and drawing is attracted together give for machinist,
the operation to be simple. Technology is like flow chart but it does not including each part of the
operations by drawing. Rather than my description sample of one drawing technology is below in the
table:

Make chamfer as
per the drawing.
 M Make the two
large keyways by
0
180 distance. And
the other 3 small
keyways by
1200distance.
S grind the material

I have seen to see how design are prepared with description and when I compare my school theoretical
knowledge I will see the problem on the technology in machining time which they give not correct they
give by suggestion. If the engineer gives three hours to performed one task but the actual time it take is
one hour it show that the wastage of time. This is caused because of the machining time is not
calculated it simply by guess.

2.2.2Lathe and Milling Shop

In this shop there are around 60 lath machine and 30 milling machine have different operation like
turning, facing , tapering, drilling, boring, learning, grooving etc .other the operation I get chance to see
internal part lath machine during maintenance. In addition to these I learn more about part of lath
machine’s show bellow in fiuger

The part of lath machine and there function:

Chuck to handle the work piece

Carriage contains tool post, cross slide and communed rust
Head stoke contain chuck gear box and electrical motor(power on /off, speed controller)
Tail stoke contain life or dead center .it differ as process to be worked
Chip pan collect the chips during operation time
Tool post used to handle the cutter
Bad contain the tail stoke and carriage
Led screw and feed rod to be a machine automatic ti is mostly used to threading operation
The working principle of lath is the cutting is carried out by creating relative motion between work piece
and the tool in which the work piece in rotating and tool made to move parallel to the axis of rotation of
the work piece.

2.2.3Materal Preparation
Material preparation is preparing material for some purpose that is used to needed faction. these room
supply for all of the factory in these company

2.2.4Quality Control
Quality control also available in conventional shop it is very important according to keeping the qualities
of products of the factory. After finishing each operation work pieces are come and measuring
operations are take place. if it is accepted pieces it goes to next operation but if there is an error on the
worked piece the work starts again and the machinist sign in the reject from, this form used to measure
the machinists quality and also performance. In other case option of pieces are back to rework if errors
are minor or able to corrected. By this type of flow pieces are checked after final operations takes place
in the work pieces.

In quality control room they use different measuring tools that used to know the correct dimension of
the work pieces.

2.2.5Grainding Room
Grinding is sharping tool and smooth finished surface. In conventional shop there is grainding machine
that used to only sharping cutter.
