Riyanka Sharma, Jyoti Soni

Abstract: Manufacturing Engineering is a branch of professional engineering concerned with the understanding and application of Engineering Procedures in Manufacturing Processes and Production Methods. Manufacturing Engineering requires the ability to plan the practices of manufacturing; to research and to develop tools, processes, machines and equipment; and to integrate the facilities and systems for producing quality product with the optimum expenditure of capital. The aim of this project is to improve the productivity with correcting the work standards and work practices. Manufacturing engineering is an important function/ department for any manufacturing industry. An automobile is a combination of thousands of parts; hence the manufacturing engineering department of an auto industry is always complex and has lot of scope of increasing productivity. Production of parts and assembly in the units have been studied in this project regarding the guidelines of the techniques.
