bought-out and man-power deployment.
Establishing time for all the processes, as per norms.
Monitoring utilization of men and machines and informing to the management.
Monitoring improvement projects.
Tool planning- the “enabling” process
Provisioning of tools projected by the process planner.
Maintenance of existing tools.
Estimation and procurement planning for consumable tools.
Facilities planning- the “asset creating” process
Provisioning of necessary machinery, welfare equipment, building and pc.
Looking for up gradation or modernization of existing facilities
Subcontracting/Outsourcing- the “let me help you” process
Assisting production shops by taking out parts for operations.
Arranging and executing work contracts.
Facilitate cost reduction throughout sourcing.
PURCHASE/OUT SOURCING
In order to build a product numbers of items are required. These items can be either
manufactured in home environment or purchased from the vendors.
Items which cannot be manufactured or if done its economically costs high have to be
purchased.
MRP (Material Resource Planning) is calculated based on Bill of Material. System with
SAP technique will recreate requirements and further planning will generate PR.
After this step the actual work of purchase department starts.
Supplier Relationship Management Software (SRM) enquiry is done and bid invitation is
given.
Preparatory and limited tender are called off. All quotes by different vendors are
compared and Purchase Order (PO) is sent back to approved organization. This PO
contains list of items, delivery schedule etc.
GR is made once ordered goods are received in the gate as per delivery schedule.
As soon as GR is generated the stores is updated with arrived items.
Next quality engineering shop checks for correctness of quality and quantity. Later
distributes for required shops.
Purchase shop should follow up about materials that are needed, rejected and one which
has to be re-delivered.
This department co-ordinates with planning (for PR), security (for intake of items) ,
finance (bill issue) , quality (checking of items).
PROGRESS
Major, light assembly, major assembly, plate, fabrication shop etc. needs raw materials
which are listed and stored in stores.
Keeping track of material movement between shops and giving materials to individual
shops is responsibility of progress department.
Job cards are printed and given to subsequent jobs. This card will have information such
as, time required to complete the job, completed jobs etc.
This department will deposit back issued items to the stores and also keep track of
availabilities in stores.
STORES
Receiving stores
These receive materials through the gate pass, and are sent to the concerned departments.
Project stores
For identification each product in the stores has a BIN card. The BIN card indicates the date of
arrival and withdrawal of the product from the stores, net quantity and location in the stores.
Every product has a reference number. This system is common for all the factories of BEML.
SHIPPING
The first step is to select the appropriate packaging for the item that is to be shipped.
Once that is done a trucking company arrives at the factory, loads the order into a container,
which is bolted shut and fitted with a security seal.
The container will not be opened until it reaches its destination. Customs official armed with
careful evaluation of each container’s documentation, select those containers for specific
inspection. Once cleared by customs, workers unload the container and the items are now
dispatched and assembled in the destination place.

MOTOR GRADERS
When computers are used to control a Numerical Control (NC) machine tool than the
machine is called CNC machine. In other words the use of computers to control machine tools
like lathe, mills, shaper etc is called CNC machine, wherein a software program is designated to
control an object. The language behind CNC machining is alternately referred to as G-code.
code file is a series of instructions that come together to produce different movements and events
on a CNC machine.
(i) Input Devices: These are the devices which are used to input the part program in the CNC
machine.
(ii) Machine Control Unit (MCU): It is the heart of the CNC machine. It performs all the
controlling action of the CNC machine, the various functions performed by the MCU are
It reads the coded instructions fed into it and decodes the coded instruction.
It implements interpolation (linear, circular and helical) to generate axis motion commands.
It feeds the axis motion commands to the amplifier circuits for driving the axis mechanisms.
It receives the feedback signals of position and speed for each drive axis.
It implements the auxiliary control functions such as coolant or spindle on/off and tool
change.
(iii) Machine Tool: A CNC machine tool always has a slide table and a spindle to control of the
position and speed. The machine table is controlled in X and Y axis direction and the spindle is
controlled in the Z axis direction.
(iv) Driving System: The driving system of a CNC machine consists of amplifier circuits, drive
motors and ball lead screw. The MCU feeds the signals (i.e. of position and speed) of each axis
to the amplifier circuits. The control signals are than augmented (increased) to actuate the drive
motors. And the actuated drive motors rotate the ball lead screw to position the machine table.
(v) Feedback System: This system consists of transducers that acts like sensors. It is also called
as measuring system. It contains position and speed transducers that continuously monitor the
position and speed of the cutting tool located at any instant. The MCU receives the signals from
these transducers and it uses the difference between the reference signals and feedback signals to
generate the control signals for correcting the position and speed errors.
(vi) Display Unit: A monitor is used to display the programs, commands and other useful data of
CNC machine.
First the part program is inserted into the MCU of the CNC.
In MCU all the data process takes place and according to the program prepared, it
prepares all the motion commands and sends it to the driving system.
The drive system works as the motion commands are sent by MCU. Drive system
controls the motion and velocity of the machine tool.
Feedback system records the position and velocity measurement of the machine tool and
sends a feedback signal to the MCU.
In MCU, the feedback signals are compared with the reference signals and if there are
errors, it corrects it and sends new signals to the machine tool for the right operation to
happen.
A display unit is used to see all the commands, programs and other important data. It acts
as the eye of the machine.

Power transformer:
A static electrical machine used for transforming power from one circuit to another circuit
without changing frequency is termed as power transformer.The transformers are generally used
to step down or step up the voltage level of a system for transmission and generation purpose.
Circuit Breaker:
Capacitor bank:
Potential transformer:
Potential transformer is quite similar to the current transformer, but it is used for
taking samples of high voltages of a system for providing low-voltage to the relays of
protection system and also to the low –rating meter for voltage measurement. From this low-
voltage measurement, actual system’s high voltage can be calculated without measuring high
voltage directly to avoid the cost of the measuring system.
Current Tranformer:
Current transformer is used for measurement of the altering current by taking samples of
high current of the system.These reduced samples are in accurate proportions with actual high
current of system. These are used for installation and maintenance of current relay in substation
for protection purpose which are normally have low-current for their operation.
Bus Bar:
When numbers of generation or feeders operating at the same voltage have to be directly
connected electrically, bus bar is used as the common electrical component.bus bars are made up
of copper rods operate at constant voltage. Bus bars arrangements used at substations are:
1.single bus bar system.
2.duplicate bus bar system.
Lightening Arrester:
Relay:
Relays are used for disconnected the circuit by manual or automatic operation.Relay
consistes of coil which is excited or energized and such that the making the contacts of
relay closed,activates the relay to break or make the connection. There are different types of
relay such as current relay, microprocessor relay, mho relay, buchholz relay etc..,
Isolator:
Isolator is a manually operated mechanical switch that isolates a part of a circuit of
substation meant for repair from a healthy section in order to avoid occurrence of more fault.
Hence it is also called as disconnected. There are different types of isolators such as single-
break isolator, double-break isolator, bus isolator, line isolator etc..,
The substance which does not allow free movement of electron is called as insulator.
There are different types of insulators such as suspension type, strain type, pin type so on.
Insulator are used or insulation purpose while erecting electric poles with conductors to
avoid short circuit and for other purpose.
It is used to trap the high frequency communication signals sent on the line from the
remote substation and diverting them to the telecom/tele-protection panel in the substation
control room, line trap also is known as wave trap.
Control Room:
Bus voltages and frequencies, line loading, transformer loading, power factor,
temperature etc.., are the basic variables related with substation control and instrumentation. The
various supervision, control and protection function are preformed in substation control room.
The relay, Protection and control panels are installed in the controlled room.
LAYER-1 DEVICES.
a. REPEATERS
A network device used to regenerate or replicate a signal. Repeaters are used in transmission
systems to regenerate analog or digital signals distorted by transmission loss. Analog repeaters
frequently can only amplify the signal while digital repeaters can reconstruct a signal to near its
original quality.
b. HUB.
LAYER-2 DEVICES
A bridge is a type of computer network device that provides interconnection with other
bridge networks that use the same protocol. Bridge devices work at the data link layer of the
Open System Interconnect (OSI) model, connecting two different networks together and
providing communication between them.
A network interface controller (NIC), also known as a network interface card, network
adapter or physical network, and by similar terms is a computer hardware component that
connects a computer network. The NIC contains the electronic circuitry required to communicate
using a wired connection (e.g., Ethernet) or a wireless connection (e.g., wifi).
LAYER-3 DEVICES
A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC bridge) is a
computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network by using
packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device. Ethernet
interface is used to connect to connect local network to router, PC to switch, switch to switch,
switches to router. Ethernet interfaces uses UTP cable for connection.UTP (unshielded twisted
pair) cable has four pairs of wires twisted inside.
a. GATEWAY.
A Gateway is anode (router) in a computer network, a key stopping point for data on its
way to or from other networks .we is able to communicate and send data back and forth. The
internet wouldn’t be any use to us without gateways (as well as a lot of other hardware and
software).
While forwarding an IP packet to another network, the gateway might or might not perform
network address translation. A gateway is an essential features of most routers, although other
devices (such as any PC or sever) can function as a gateway.
b. MODEM.
Modem stands for modulator or demodulator which converts digital signals generated by the
computer into analog signals which can be transmitted over a telephone or cable lines. A Modem
is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over, for example, telephone or
cable lines. Computer information in stored digitally, whereas information is transmitted over
telephone lines is transmitted in the form of analog waves. A modem converts between these two
forms.
