MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LIMITED PROFILE
1.1 Introduction
Maruti Suzuki is one of India's leading automobile manufacturers and the market leader in
the car segment, both in terms of volume of vehicles sold and revenue earned. The Indian
government held an initial public offering of 25% of the company in June 2003. As of May
10, 2007, Govt. of India sold its complete share to Indian financial institutions. With this,
Govt. of India no longer has stake in Maruti Udyog.
Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in February 1981, though the actual
production commenced in 1983 with the Maruti 800, based on the Suzuki Alto kei car which
at the time was the only modern car available in India, its' only competitors- the Hindustan
Ambassador and Premier Padmini were both around 25 years out of date at that point. Maruti
are sold in India and various several other countries, depending upon export orders. Cars
similar to Maruti (but not manufactured by Maruti Udyog) are sold by Suzuki and
manufactured in Pakistan and other South Asian countries.
The company annually exports more than 50,000 cars and has an extremely large domestic
market in India selling over 730,000 cars annually. Maruti 800, till 2004, was the India's
largest selling compact car ever since it was launched in 1983. More than a million units of
this car have been sold worldwide. Currently, Maruti Alto tops the sales charts and Maruti
Swift is the largest selling in A2 segment.
Due to the large number of Maruti 800s sold in the Indian market, the term "Maruti" is
commonly used to refer to this compact car model. Till recently the term "Maruti", in popular
Indian culture, was associated to the Maruti 800 model.
Its manufacturing facilities are located at two facilities Gurgaon and Manesar, south of New
Delhi. Marutis Gurgaon facility has an installed capacity of 350,000 units per annum. The
Manesar facilities, launched in February 2007 comprise a vehicle assembly plant with a
capacity of 100,000 units per year and a Diesel Engine plant with an annual capacity of
100,000 engines and transmissions. Manesar and Gurgaon facilities have a combined
capability to produce over 700,000 units annually.

Although the Indian car industry was established in the late forties, there was little growth or
technical progress, as passenger cars were given very low priority in the scheme of
Centralized Economic Planning. In the 1980s, the car industry was undergoing technological
stagnation and was characterized by low production volumes, high cost and low productivity.
The consumer had very little choice and the market was selling just around 30,000 cars per
year.
There was a clear need to provide a cost effective, reliable and quality car to the customers.
Maruti Suzuki India Limited was incorporated in such a scenario as a fully owned
Government Company on February 24, 1981 with a resolve to bring about expansion and
technological modernization, of the automobile sector. Thus MSIL, when started was
entrusted with the task of achieving the following policy objectives:
To achieve the above objectives, one of the foremost tasks before, Maruti Suzuki
India Limited was to determine the most suitable product mix and to select the most
suitable foreign partner who would be willing to accept MSILs requirements in terms
of product mix, technology transfer, and equality participation and had the required
technological expertise and experience in producing high quality, reliable and fuel
efficient vehicles.
After extensive discussion with several major European and Japanese car
manufacturers, MUL chose Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) further increased its
equity holding to 50% in the year 1992, converting . Maruti Suzuki India Limited,
into a Non-Government Company with a total Equity base of Rs. 1322.92 million.

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.
Welding jigs
Spot welding guns
Kawasaki welding robots
Hemming machines
Punching machines
PROCESS OUTLINE: The shop has different lines for different models, each of, which is
further divided into three parts:
UNDER BODY: Here different underbody panels are welded together. These comprise of
rear underbody, central underbody, and front engine room panel. These underbodies are put
on the conveyor and welded together to give the underbody.
MAIN BODY: As the body moves on, the conveyor roof and side body panels (prepared on
the sub lines) are welded to it to give the main body. The chassis number is punched on the
cowl top and it is welded to the front engine room panel.
WHITE BODY: The doors, hood and back door are attached on the main body with the help
of bolts and screws 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.

Pre-treatment (PT): The body is thoroughly washed to remove the dirt and oil
scales. Then the body is treated with ZnPO4 (phosphating) to prevent corroding of the
body.
ED coat: This is done by electric deposition method, at 240V-DC supply. After
applying the ED coat the body is baked in oven.
Sol-sealer and under coat: Here the left in the body (due to welding) are filled with
sol-sealer to provide water proofing. Under coat is done on the surface above wheels
to prevent damage of body in that portion.
Intermediate coat: This is done by spray-painting method using 10 Kawasaki
Robots. After applying the coat, the body is dried in the oven. Painting done is
basically an intermediate coating to provide base for the final coat.
Top coat: This is done by spray-painting method using 20 Kawasaki Robots. For
metallic coating, double coats are applied and aluminum flakes are provided to shine
the metallic paints.
After inspection and touch up, the PBOK, i.e. the paint body ok is sent to the assembly shop.
In paint shop II, only ZEN and ALTO are painted. Paint used is Nerolac. There are 4 coatings
of paint.

ED is electro deposition. Vehicle is dipped in the ED solution. In this around 300V is passed
to make paint to be attached. ED is 17% of paint rest is water and some additives (EDD, M).
PROCESS
The whole solution of ED acts as electrolytic solution. Vehicle before coming to ED dip, it
undergoes pre treatment. In that phosphating is done, in which Zn phosphate is made to
attach vehicle body which help in electro deposition, in this, vehicle acts as cathode and paint
as positive ions. When current is passed paint will be attracted by vehicle till its thickness
will be covered. ED is very accurate to apply. This is about whole process. Rinsing is done

CHAPTER 3
3.1 INTRODUCTION
As we know, the spots of a car are the most prcised work done on a car as their failure can
cause accident. So, the company prefers to check the spots of car as it directly refer us to the
company quality. But, it was not possible for the company to check the spots of every car as
it was a very time consumable process as the processes done to check the spots were
hammering test and peeling test. Till now, Maruti Suzuki India Limited was checking the
spots of every export car and every 10th import car. But this does not give assurance to the
customer for the best quality car as there was no tool for analysis of weld spot quality. So,
there was a need to implement a method which would help the company in providing the best
quality car. Due to this reason, weld information control system came to being in use.
Weld information control system is a non-destructive testing technique to check the spots. In
this technique, a spot id is given to every spot of the car. The datas of welding parameters
are noted. These data have been fed to the PLC (programmable logic controller). IT
department has implemented a server which would be directly linked with the PLC. PLC
provides a graphical characteristic of every spot in computer screen with the help of server
from which we could ensure defective spots on line. Also, the robot line would stop in which
problem has occurred i.e. if the spots does not have the same characteristics as provided to
the PLC, the robot would stop working itself and show faults on computer screen. So that, we
can correct the spot by taking counter measure. Also, this technique will help us in having a
control on NG welding flow.

NG welding flow occurs at a point where the robot is not able to weld the spot correctly i.e.
the weld does not took properly due to following reasons:-
a) Spatter control
b) Spot Miss
c) Gun alignment NG
e) Half spot
g) Gun shunting

The methodology on which W.I.C.S. depends is to study about the resistance waves as the
reason for the spot failure could be known by this methodology.
RESISTANCE WAVES
Resistance waves are the graphical representation between resistance values and the weld
time to show that the nugget formed is absolutely correct.
As we can see from the above figure 3.2, the resistance value first decreases but as the temp.
of base metal is raised the resistance value climb up and form a nugget and as the nugget
expansion takes place with the increase in electrical path, the resistance value again decline.
31

By observing the resistance waves, we could get to know the various methods because of
which the NG Welding Flow occurs.

From the above fig. 3.3, we can clearly see that the nugget formation takes place at any other
position than required.
From the above fig. 3.4, we can clearly see that the nugget formation does not took place
correctly as the parts in which the spot was to be applied was bent.

From the above fig. 3.5, we can clearly see that the nugget formation was formed slightly

Fault occurs due to low quantity of heat, Tip diameter expansion, Lack or 2sets of work, Shift
of weld position, Gun touch, terrible expulsion etc.
-Be cautious that when same control no. and same condition has been used continuously,
judgment will not be done.
When you returns weld points before more than 1 weld point by manual operation and you
re-welded the weld points, it is possibility existence to stop by fault again.

-Timers output E80 when it detect resistance value ahead of a threshold of high resistance
and it doesnt send weld current according to the setting value.
- We can reset the fault at a reset box, but it occurs again till the fault state is removed

WELD SPOT CHECKING PROCESS STANDARDIZATION
To measure the transition of resistance value in every 0.5 cycle in welding, we have to
calculate the parameter 1 to 4 and supervise them. The parameter to be calculated are as
follows:-
38
WORLD COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT
DATA COLLECTION FOR W.I.C.S. &
WELD SPOT CHECKING PROCESS STANDARDIZATION
Resistance limits refers us to a position after which alarm would rang. Resistance limits are
classified in two levels: -
1. Alarm Level: - When the nugget formation does not take properly, limit of alarm level
is reached and the alarm rang so that the worker or engineer could take the counter
measure.
2. Fault level: - When the engineer or worker does not take counter measure after the
alarm, then the line would automatically spot.
There is a case when there is not a change of resistance. In this case, only the thin
sheet side is weld NG on sheet combination such as thin- thick-thick sheets and in the
case of sheet combination of thin-thin sheets. Therefore, there is the case that NG
points cannot stop.
Whether fault stops or not depend on a limit setting. Misjudgment occur a lot of times,
when limit setting is too rigorous. But it cannot detect weld NG, when limit setting is too
indulgent.
Now, we set limits from average and unevenness of the present data which WICS system
collect.

provide satisfaction to the customer. As the satisfaction of customer would increase, he/
she would increase their faith on the company as a result more customers would come to
buy the car.

main body, main body pit, white body, cowl box, etc. and their cycles.
The first thing that an engineer should know in welding department is the layout of
department.
He should know that which robot is working on which car.
He should know which spots can be checked and which cannot be checked.
He should know how many men are needed for checking the spots in a given
component.
