HISTORY

Laxmi precision screws limited was started back in 1958 and is a creation of Seth/ b.c.Jain under the

name of navbharat industries as a small industry. The plant was initially set op for indigenous

manufacture of nuts & bolts of come limited sizes. It was one of the few industries producing nuts and

bolts.

Growth in decade:-

1. In 1960 the company turned into a limited and Seth. B.C. Jain was proposed as the chairman of the

company. After turned into limited the company raised its products and variety in products and

achieves the turnover around 10 crores.

2. IN 70`s & 80`s

In 70`s under the name navbharat industries it adopted new developed techniques and equipments

and updated its products technology to confirm that adopted by leading producers of nuts and

bolts. After the death of Seth B.C. Jain his elder son Seth R.K. Jain took the charge of the

company as Chairman and renamed the company a LAKSHMI PRECISION SCREWS LTD. As

L.P.S. the company becomes the market leader in screws and nuts and bolts. Lakshmi Precision

Screws Ltd.

L.P.S. Company which is famous in all over world was started in rohtak. Its owners were lived in

rohtak in starting and as the knowing persons are telling that they were owners of a bicycle shop.

They were started there company with a very small place and having three or four machines. Now a

days L.P.S. Company having their plants in all our India.

PLANT LAYOUT

Plant layout of any company is important because it is one of that factors which increases the profits and

decreases the inputs of the company. Good or bad arrangement of a company decided that company goes

towards profits or not.

Taking small area of land and making it more useful is the one of the forward steps towards success.

The layout may be designed to reduce increasing production costs that gradually evolve from piecemeal

expansion or to introduce an entire new process. Re-layout strikes for the maximizing production flow

and labour effectiveness.

PLANT INTERNAL LAYOUT OF L.P.S

According to the plant layout we know that there is a Security room, Reception room, Electrical control

room, Office, Sampling room, Storage room, Workshop ,Generator room, Raw material room and other

room like Canteen also. The small description is given below:

SECURITY GUARD ROOM:-

It is a small room, which is present on the main door, where a man sits who is known as security guard.

As anyone comes, he makes contact to office and asks to permit. If he allow then open the gate and

allow the guest to enter. The guard checks everyone before entering the industry and before leaving the

industry.

ELECTRIC ROOM:-

In this room electric supply is maintained and controlled .there are many electricians are so that they can

maintain the supply to the industry. If the supply s not complete the machine cant work. Every machine

has to work for full hours.

RECEPTION ROOM:-

This is a very important place in the industry because all the people entering in the industry directly

contact on the reception counter. All customers can call to the reception to know about the timing and

dealing.

OFFICE:-

It is a place where al the official work is done such as maintaining accounts etc. There is a waiting room

also and a separate room for manager and Director. The office is fully A.C. and the staffs members are

behave very well to me.

RAW MATERIAL ROOM:-

It is basically a godown where different types of raw materials are stored. All the raw material is quickly

send to the required machine by small tractors. So there is no problem to labour on a machine regularly.

15

STORAGE ROOM:-

Storage room is that room where all complete products are store for send them to their working places.

Store room is dry from water and other different types of corrosion conditions. Products are very safe

from any bad conditions.

DISTRIBUTOR ROOM:-

The LPS is a famous company in Haryana. It distributes the materials for making the jobs in small

workshops in the city. Different Workshops do different work such as drilling, turning, packing etc. So

before giving the material for making the jobs note and it is done in that room.

FABRICATION YARD:-

It is a big hall where many machines are installed. The latest technology machines are also present such

as CNC machine etc. there are different workshops for different works like drilling, turning, threading,

shaping, cold forging etc. there be many workers who worked continuously for many hours. A

supervisor is appointed who controls all the work done in the workshop. In the workshop there are many

ventilators and fans.

GENRATOR ROOM:-

It is a room where generators are installed, these generator are heavy power generator, which used when

there is a power cut ff o r any disturbances by the electricity.

If there is not sufficient electricity to run machine then it will not give it complete there is loss of time

and economy.

16

CANTEEN:-

It is a room where the staff members or workers get refreshments such as tea, coffee and lunch etc.

Outside of industry many Dhaba are present where also workers do lunch, tea etc

INTRODUCTION OF MACHINES

L.P.S. is manufacturing nuts and bolts and other products using different types of operations by different

machines. That`s why it is important to know the introduction of machines (parts, purpose of machines)

before knowing manufacturing procedure.

MACHNES USED IN L.P.S. PLANT 1:-

Machines are the main parts of a company. To construct a company we need to provide all important

need to the company and machines are the one of main needs of a company. Actually machines and

other needs are relative to each other, they cannot work without each other.

The following machines are used in L.P.S. plant 1, rohtak to manufacture nuts & bolts and other

products.

THREADS AND THREAD CUTTING

The subject of threads and threading is of the prime importance to an Engineer, because nearly every

piece of equipment will have some form of screw Thread or other in it. Most of the machine parts are

held together, adjusted or moved by threads of many sizes and kinds.

Threads are commonly used for the following Purposes:

(1) as fasteners

(2) to transmit power or motion

(3) for adjustment

SOME OF THE MACHINE USED IN THREAD MAKING

(1) Threading machine hart fort hopper feeding u.s.a.

(2) Threading machine chun zu vibratory feeding Taiwan

(3) Threading machine national vibratory feeding japan

And other machines from main companies of India e.g. H.M.T. Kirloskar, pragma ltd. With automatic

feeding or manually controlled

20

MILLING

When threads are cut by milling, the thread is formed by a revolving milling Cutter shaped to conform to

the sharp to thread desired. Either single or multiple Cutters may be used. In the case of single cutter, all

the cutting edges lie in one plane.

The multiple cutters consist of several annular rows of cutting teeth. A hob may be used for cutting

threads, in which case the teeth lie along a helix. The disadvantage of the hob type cutter is that is must

revolve with a fixed relation to the work; this is Not true of the cutter with annular teeth.

Milled threads may be external or internal. The only in station being the size of hole in which a cutter

may be inserted. The threads cut b this method are more?

Accurate than those cut by a die but not as accurate as those cut with grinding Wheel.

Some of the milling machines used in milling operation in tool room is:

(1) Milling m/c vertical f 1-v bfw

(2) Milling m/c vertical m2-v hmt

(3) Milling m/c horizontal f1-h brw

(4) Milling m/c horizontal m2-h hmt

(5) Milling m/c horizontal m2ph hmt

GRINDING

Internal or external threads can be finish ground by means or a single or multiple edge-grinding wheels.

The threads are cut as grinding wheel (having Annular thread grooves formed around its periphery) and

work rotate. A vitrified bond is generally used with a fine grit of about 60, the process is carried on a

special grinding machine having a master led screw and gears and means of holding the work.

21

The wheel rotates at 30 m/sec. and work is rotated slowly. In the case of hardened stock probably

grinding is the only means of forming threads. The accuracy of grinding exceeds that of any other

method and finish is exceeded only by good thread rolling pitch diameter can be ground to an accuracy

of +0.002 mm per 2.5 cm and accuracy of lead may be maintained within 0.007mm in 50 cm of thread

length, grinding eliminates tiny cracks due to hardening and also tearing is always present to some

extent in any material removal method.

Some of the grinding machine uses in grinding operation in tool room are:-

1. Universal Tool & Cutter 3A-6A Stanlso Import

Grinder 0200*500

2. Off-hand pedestal double wheel Net

Net 12 grinder 0300

3. Surface grinding m/c 200*600 SFW 200 WMW

4. Internal Grinder FORT VNA

5. Cylindrical Grinder G13-11 HMT

22

HEAT TREATMENT

Heat treatment is an important operation in the manufacturing process of machine parts and tools. It may

be defined as an operation of heating and cooling of metals in the solid state to induce certain desired

properties into them Heat treatment can after the mechanical properties of steel by changing the size and

shape of the grains of which it is composed, or by changing its micro constituents.

It is generally employed for the following purpose

a) To improve machinability

b) To change or refine grain size.

c) To relieve the stresses of the metal induced during cold or hot working.

d) To improve mechanical properties. E.g. tensile strength, hardness, ductility, shock resistance to

corrosion etc.

e) To improve magnetic and electrical properties.

f) To increase resistance to wear, heat and corrosions.

g) To produce a hard surface of ductile interior.

The most commonly used operations of heat treatment are:

I. annealing

II. normalizing

III. hardening

IV. quenching

V. isothermal hardening

VI. tempering

VII. austempering

VIII. case hardening

23

I. ANNEALING

It is one of the widely used operations is heat treatment of iron and steel and is defined as the softening

process in which iron base alloys are heated above the transformation range in the furnace itself .

Alternatively, the steel may be transferred into pearlite (final cooling can be done instill air). The

success of annealing depends upon controlling the formation of austenite, and the subsequent

transformation of the austenite at high sub critical temp. Various types of any annealing treatments are:-

a) process annealing

b) patenting

c) full annealing

d) spheroidising

e) isothermal hardening

II. NORMALIZING

According to American society of material testing, it is defined as the process in which iron base alloys

ate heated 40 to 50 degree C above the upper transformation range and held there for a specified period (

to ensure that a fully austenite structure is produced) and followed by cooling in still air at room

temperature.

The heating or hypo-eutectoid steel is done above the upper critical temp/ the normalized steel consists

of ferrite and pearlite for hypo-eutectoid, and pearlite and cementite for hypo-eutectoid steel.

Normalizing operation of steel is carried out to improve the machining characteristics, define grain size

and homogenize microstructure modify and refine cost dendritic structure and provide desired

properties.

24

III. HARDENING

According to A.S.M.T. it is defined as the heat-treatment process in which steel is heated to 200C above

the transformation range, soaking at this temperature for a considerable period to ensure through

penetration of the

Temperature inside the components, followed by continuous cooling to room temperature by quenching

in water, oil or brine solution the rate of cooling is controlled by quenching medium.

The mediums are:-

Solution of salt or caustic soda. High flash point/clean water from grease of soap. Blast by dry air.

IV. QUENCHING

Quenching can be desirable as an operation that provides for the rapid cooling as steel from as high

temperature such as room temperature.

Media can be classified into five categories:-

a) brine

b) water

c) solution of special compound oils (NAOH& HCL in water)

d) air

V. ISOTHERMAL HARDENING

It is conducted similar to broken hardening; the only difference that in the first operation. The part

treated is kept in fused salt until the AR transformation is completed. Line table in fig. represent

isothermal hardening operation. The steel subjected to isothermal hardening as a structure consisting of

acicular true stile. The hardness obtained by this process is lover the in case of broken hardening

process. The fact that is some ease there is no need to carry out tempering after the isothermal hardening

operation constitutes one important advantage isothermal hardening.

25

A new method of hardening, the so-called bright hardening, is of great Practical interest. In this method

the metal is heated in salt baths and subsequently cooled in fused alkalis (NAOH, koh & their other

mixtures). The surface before treatment is well cleaned and no oxide formation takes place afterwards. It

is used for bolts and small parts.

VI. TEMPERING

According to A.S.M.T. it is defined as the reheat process, reheating being carried out under sub critical

temperature. Such a reheating permitting the trapped marten site to transform into true stole or sorbet

depending on the tempering temperature and relieve the internal stresses. Toughness and strength. It is

an operation used to modify the properties of steel hardened by quenching for the purpose of increasing

its usefulness.

Tempering is divided into three classes according to the usefulness of steel required.

a) low temperature tempering (heated nearly 20 degree C)

b) medium temperature ( heated from 250degree to 550degree C)

c) high temperature tempering ( steel is heated from 350degree to 550 degree C)

VII. AUSTEMPERING

Austempering is a kind of tempering process which holding the steel in a molten salt bath having

temperature of 250 to 500 C above the critical temperature when the structure consists purely of

austenite. The part is then quenched at sufficient rate to a void transformation to ferrite and partite and is

held at quenching temperature for a time sufficient to give complete transformation to intermediate

structures referred as binate. It is then cooled to room temperature.

26

VIII. CASE HARDENING

This process is used to produce a high surface hardness for wear resistance supported by a tough shock-

resisting core it is the process of carbonization such that saturating the surface layer of steel with carbon

to about 0.9% or some other process by which case is hardened and core remains soft. The carbonized

steel is then heated and quenched, so that only the surface layers will respond, and the core remaining

soft and though since, its carbon content is low.

Various processes of case hardening are:

a) Carburization

b) Nitrating

c) Cyaniding

d) Induction hardening

e) Flame hardening

MATERIAL USED TO MANUFACTURE SCREWS AND BOLTS

1) COPPER- SILICON ALLOYS

2) COPPER-ZINC ALLOYS

(61.5%CU, 35.5%ZN, 3%LEAD)

3) IS: 1679-1960 mild steel wire suitable for manufacture of machine

Screws by Cold heading process.

4) Wrought iron

PACKAGING

In the modern world most of the goods are available in packages. The packaging protects and preserves

the goods and offer convenience in transport, handling and sales also. The goods in packaging should

retain then original form, shape and properties, the packages should be convenient and attractive. A

primary package is the one, which comes in contact with the product. Therefore, the selection of

material plays a vital role and it should be compatible with the product to be packed. The main function

of a transport package is to give the required protection to the packaged commodity against incidental

hazards during transportation handling and storage.

The fundamental factors affecting the design of packages are:-

a) Product characteristics

b) Modes of distribution

c) Marketing consideration

The technical considerations which influence the packages design ate hazards during transportation,

such as shocks, and vibrations, transmitted to the product during transportation by rail, road, sea and air.

Hazards during handling, such as impact due to drop, compression and puncture. Hazards during storage

(for e.g. the greater the tacking height in a warehouse, the more the need for strong and rigid package to

with stand compression) and; hazards due to climate change. The packaging should be of best quality

can be produced at competitive price. Various materials used for packaging are plastics, metal, glass,

wood and paper (including corrugated packaging).

Now mechanical packing times ate employed and folly automated high speed productions systems are

being introduced. Traditional packaging materials like tin and glass ate being forced to give way to

plastics and paper the whole concept is to give the consumer the most economical packaging material.

29

PACKAGING SYSTEM

There are three major in any packaging operation.

1) the package

2) the packaging machinery

3) the operating and maintenance personnel

MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT

Basically the reason for operating a maintenance-engineering group is to attend the day to day problems

of keeping the physical plant machinery, building, services in goods operating condition

SCOPE

Although in practice the scope of the activities of maintenance Eng. Dept. is different in each plant or in

institution and is enhanced by plant size and type, company policy and industry- wide and sectional

precedent, its possible to group these activities into the two general classification-primary function,

secondary function that are assigned to the dept. for the reasons of expediency, know how as precedent.

PRIMARY FUCTION

1) Maintenance of existing plant equipment.

2) Maintenance of existing plant building and groups.

3) Equipments inspections and distribution.

4) Utilization generation and distribution.

5) Alternation to existing equipment and building.

6) New installations of equipment and the buildings.

SECONDARY FUNCTION

1) store keeping

2) plant protection

30

3) waste disposal

4) salvage

5) Other services just like property accounting pollution and noise control the maintenance egg. Dept.

seems to be cure for many other odd activities that no other single dept. can handle. Although its

human increase the scope of ones dept., care must be taken not to dilute the primary responsibilities

of the maintenance area to handle their secondary services.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

One of the most important tool in minimizing down time, whether as not a conventional preventive

maintenance program impossible is called preventive engg. Although this would appear to be the

application of common sense of equipment design maintenance engineers its the field which is often

neglected often maintenance engineers are so busy handling emergency repair as in other day to day

activities that they found no opportunity to analyze the cause for breakdown which keeps them so fully

occupied while most engineers keep their eye open in details such as better packing longer wearing and

improvised lubrication system, true preventive engineering goes further than this and consists of actually

setting as idea specific amount of technical man power of analyze accidents of breakdown and

determine where the real effort is needed, then though redesign substitution changes and specification or

other similar reducing the frequency of breakdown and cost repairs.

These can be handled by special group acting, as a cost of reduction unit or it can be included as one of

the function of the maintenance engineers. It should be emphasized however that this type of the

program required intelligent direction to ensure that time and money are expanded in the areas where the

most returns likely a particularly pump, operating under unusual conditions, show a high incidence of

failure but because of simplicity of design and repairs has a low total maintenance cost and if it were the

one of its type in plant, as intensive investigation for maintenance cost reduction would be difficult to

justify on the other hand a simple component such as capstan bearing on spinning machine, although

having a low unit replacement cost, can fail so often and on so many machines that the total cost per

year would turn to many thousand collars.

31

Here an investigation can controlled on the reasons for failure of one unit could be extremely be

profitable. Effective preventive engineering can result only when it is recognized as an independent

activity of is search nature.

PERSONAL DEPARTMENT

1) recruitment

2) general policy

3) reservation

4) training/placement

5) industrial relation

6) welfare activities

1) RECRUITMENT

It is based upon the workload for a predetermined target and is done with the consent of the managing

director. The qualification standard for each post is laid down as approved by the M.D.

2) GENERAL POLICY

According to the company all the promotion vacancies are fulfilled through internal recruitment. Usually

recruitment from outside is for the workmen grade category administration dept. and trainees in the

technical dept.

3) RESERVATION

For persons of project area and the state in which the project is situated are given some preferences for

recruitment for posts of lower grade. All the unskilled workers can be recruited from the project area and

32

first preference is given to the persons displaced from the project ate provided they satisfy all the other

conditions.

In the case of skilled workers, clerks and other staff member whose scale of pay are comparatively low

and whose basic qualification and experience are equal, preference can be given in order of priority as

mentioned above. The vacancies are also notified to the local employment exchange and they sponsor

candidates belonging to the state.

In the case of medium level technical and non-technical posts having high salaries. Recruitment is done

in all Indian basic.

4) TRAINING/PLACEMENT

The company has different types training programs. Trainees are trained to improve the basic skill and

work knowledge on the basic machine. After completion of the two years training the specialist trainees,

engineer trainees, technician trainees and trade trainees ate posted as foreman and two increments.

5) PROMOTION GUIDELINE

In almost all cases the vacant posts are fulfilled by promotion from the concerned for placement to

higher post by promotion principle. The promotion shall only be to the next higher post in the wage

section. Promotion shall be considered only when they have secured minimum period of eligibility in the

lower post. Change of trade on promotion will be permitted in exceptional cases on the basis tests and

interviews. Promotion of employee should be considered one month after the date of increment in the

lower scale. Promotion will be made on the merit and seniority basic.

6) WELFARE ACTIVITIES

As per factories act following are the welfare activities for worker and staff.

33

STATUTORY ACTIVITIES

1) provision of toilets

2) provision of drinking water

3) Separate washing facilities.

4) Sitting facilities inside the factory

5) First-aid and medical facilities

6) Subsidized canteen facilities

7) Rest room and lunch rooms

8) Apartments of welfare officers

For every 2000 employees there will be one welfare officer. For every additional 500 employees, one

additional officer is posted.

NON STATUTORY ACTIVITIES

1) transportation facilities

2) quarters/housing

3) house building allowance scheme

4) uniforms

5) recreation activities

6) death relief

STUDY OF PLANT INCENTIVE SCHEMES

The workers are encouraged to achieve more production through a cash incentive scheme. The amount

of cash incentive is directly proportional to increase production and different amounts are prescribed for

34
