Production Administration; Production Planning and


Production Control Department
Purpose:
The purpose of this department is production planning and capacity planning of the plant.

Function:
 The basic function of this department is project monitoring, capacity planning of the plant,
ordering of material, inspection of shortage.
 To make monthly rundown on the basis of discussion done in production meeting.
 To make production plan on the basis of CKD order.

The department is following (N-2) (N-4) (N) cycles for ordering the raw material. Material is being
ordered two or four months prior to dispatch from the global suppliers.

 They prepare plan on the basis of market demand and availability of material.

The above figure shows the parts that are needed to produce a vehicle and in which cycle we
ordered them and on what basis.

Page | 5
Internship Report-Indus Motor Company

MSP is multi source part which is imported from Thailand and Singapore. JSP is Japan source part
which is imported from Japan. These are the kits that are imported in lot form.

Steel sheets are imported from Japan and Thailand on the basis of production requirement.

Part by Part (PxP) items are imported from KUO Taiwan, TLI & TAP Philippines, TMT Thailand,
TMI Indonesia, and UMWT Singapore. These are the materials that are needed to fulfill local
aspects of IMC. For e.g.; painted smart entry door handles are imported that are used in corolla 1.8
because these handles can’t be painted in IMC.

Direct consumable are ordered in N-4, N-2 and N cycles on the basis of production requirement.
There is no fixed standard for the ordering of DC due to the reason that their usage varies
depending upon the operating conditions. DC is either shipped by sea or plane depending upon the
shelf life of the items.

IMC logic:

According to IMC after production, availability of stock for hot moving variant should be available
for 7 days and for slow moving variant stock should be of 3 days.

PAM’s logic:

PAMS create a link between supplier and importer to parts needed for N-month production
incorporating shipment lead time, Exporter working days, IMC working days, Exporter capacity and
long holidays. IMC operates manually due to unavailability of this system, because this is only
applicable for part by part.

Getsudo (ordering month) (N-2)

Ordering Packaging Production

N-2 cycle illustrate the production month that occurs two months after
the order is being made. It works in a way that if IMC has to produce in month of February so it has to
order in December, packing proceed in January and production will start in February.

The above figure shows the detailed information of the ordering schedule.

D-18 is the first production day of Japan that is 18 days before months end, where Kiehen that is
the special order request can be done for the previous getsudo.

D-17 maximum capacity guide meeting is observed in which IMC discuss the production capacity,
production days for the smooth flow of production

D-14 the GWSS that is the working sheet is circulated to different parts as mentioned. GWSS is a
working sheet in which IMC placed order then this order runs into SAP which will be send to all
suppliers. On D-14 IMC place 6 months Lots tentative varaint wise order.

D-14T is noted as half production day or No production day which is observed as to balance
production capacity.

Blanket Order
Blanket order is the purchase order is the order made by the customer from the supplier which
contain multiple delivery dates over a period of time. It is usefeul to save cost on the items that are
needed to use in a long term.

Reorder Point
Reorder point is the specific level at which stock needs to be replenshed. If the purchasing process
and supplier fulfillment work as planned, the reorder point should result in the replenishment
inventory arriving just as the last of the on-hand inventory is used up.

Figure 5: Reorder Point

The reorder point set between the maximum and minimum point of inventory which varies on per
product basis. When the quantity reaches to the set point where the order need to be placed , the
system (SAP) generate PR which is further send to supplier and order is placed. The quantity drops
till the minimum but not be zero and the hence the shipment is arrived.

quantity he could supply
 PO is purchase order that is made in system to store all information that has been
mentioned in PFI.
 Finance department of IMC issued LC to the bank which assures that payment is going to be
released when order is received.
 Talex is verification of bank which provide communication to supplier that IMC has made
the payment
 Shipping invoice is now forwaded to importer to know about shipping details
 Inbound is made to inform the logistics that shipment is going to be arrived on certain date.
 calculation of duties has been made which then paid to receive the order
 After port process order received by the IMC.

Logistics
Purpose
To maintain smooth flow of material logistics need to plan, implement and evaluate the effective
forward, and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the
point of origin and point of consumption to meet customer's requirement. The proper handling of
material and to maintain the balance between the overstocking and shortage of material.

Material Flow of Logistics

Figure 7: Material Flow of Inbound & Outbound Logistics

The above material flow of both inbound and outbound logistics and the supply of material till the
production line are evaluated in the material flow. Toyota Pakistan focuses on JIT that is just in time
which is hard to maintain if some abnormalities occur. There are total 50 deliveries in single shift in
IMC on average. Local deliveries are scheduled according to the part that the supplier is carrying.
Like supply of seats have 32 frequencies in a day.

Warehouse Management
Warehouse is a place where the inventory is stored. IMC operates with two warehouses first is in
vicinity of IMC while other is Perani warehouse where the major imports is devane. After the CCR
call which is about 3 days before the production the material is transferred to warehouse one that
is in IMC. The inventory received by the organization in warehouse one is from local suppliers.
Warehouse one also deals with the supply of raw material to production line on reservation made
by CCR.

Material is issued systematically as well as physically. Material is placed on racks in warehouse one.
Each rack is assigned with different name. A material placement chart is pasted on each rack to
ease the process of identifying that where the required material is placed. First In First out (FIFO)
process is practiced in warehouse.

SAP is the warehouse management system that is used to maintain the proper check and balance of
the inventory that is in the either in warehouse or on line site.

Proper PC racks and dollies with proper tags are managed for the proper handling of material in the
warehouse.

Line site Management


To create a balance between overflow of material and shortage of part on the production line is the
major challenge for the logistics to handle. For this purpose different planning has been done by
using 5s approach that is (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke in Japanese terminology Sort, Set in
Order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain) but the difficult part is to sustain what is being evaluated.

On production line PC racks , returnable bins and dollies are used to carry parts, since the
production is heijunka so the exclusive parts that is the parts used in some variants are carried on
the CCR call that is central control room, the lots are in 10x10 form while the common parts are
carried on the daily production plan basis.

Figure 11: Racks at Final Line

Recommendations

Flexibility in the racks can be added to manage the flow of materials and to avoid the overflow of
parts on the line site which is the ultimate goal of logistics. Racks can be design in a way to reduce
the manpower and create easiness in the workflow

By using Jidoka approach, computerized system can be installed on line which creates easiness in
the flow of parts and doesn’t affect the heijunka production.

CKD flow

Figure 12: CKD Flow Chart

The above flow chart illustrate the shipment flow, after placement of order and shipment of CKD
exporter send shipping document to the clearance agent and insurance company for the insurance
in parallel the goods declaration process is being done that is the document in which detailed
information about goods that is being imported to the country is noted and the custom authorities
can control over the goods. CPC is the custom procedure code that is used to know about how
shipment is processed and ultimately if, how, when and from whom duties and taxes are collected.
After the GD, clearance agent sent request for the pay order after the payment terms the custom
house appraisement is being done (if the examination report matches the declaration by importer),
Port process in which arrangement of transport and payment of wharfage is done and CKD
transported to the plant

Payment terms:
Payment is done through LC through bank channels

Letter of credit (LC): letter of credit is a document that is issued by the bank assures the
buyer's payment to the sellers. It ensures the timely and full payment to the seller.

There are two types of LC

 LC @ sight: LC at sight is a letter of credit (LC) that is payable immediately (within five
to ten days) after the seller meets the requirements of the letter of credit.
 LC @ usance: LC at usance is the letter of credit that is payable when the conforming
documents are submitted by the seller.

Production
Press shop:
In order to create Corolla and Yaris, process starts in press shop. The basic function of press shop is
to press the steel sheets in order to form the desired shapes that are further welded to form a basic
structure. The process starts from the arrival of order to form the molds and storage.

TPS:

TPS controls the container devanning that is offloading and receiving of supplies in Press shop,
Inventory management by maintaining inventory of desired products to maintain the flow of
material that is required in Weld shop.

Batch Production:

25 parts of Corolla and 28 parts of Yaris is stamping in press shop which follows the certain pattern
of production provided by PAD-PC according to the daily production plan. The parts of hot moving
variant are produced in ratio of 2:1 as slow moving variant.

Page | 17
Internship Report-Indus Motor Company

Quality Check:

Quality check of finished parts of the output is being done manually as well as by using Vectron
which is further transported to the warehouse.

Repair:

Defects that spotted after production is being repaired in the press shop.

Press Machines
Before the steel is shaped it has to be prepared, to get smooth particle free sheets it has to undergo
the washing process then passed into four press shop that is draw also called blanking which is used
to draw the desire shape then trim which is used to cut the sheet and then flanging and piercing
under different dies to get the desire shape to form the body. There are total 62 dies for Corolla
and 66 dies for Yaris. Some dies are used for stamping both parts of a vehicle for example door it
means that single die is used to stamp the both right and left hand side door this type of die is
called family die.

The above layout shows the distribution of manpower in press shop in a single shift. The press P1 is
used for blanking that is mechanical press, the loading is manual while offloading is automated that
is pneumatic the first two press has force of 2000 ton while the last two press has 1000 ton force
for stamping. Washing machine is used to get smooth and particle free sheets. The turnover
machine is used to change the symmetry of sheets for further used in blanking process. The sheets
are turned to 180 degree. For example the sheets used for making side member undergo the
turnover process.

Weld shop
In the weld shop, the pressed metal sheets are welded together to form a body shell. By Toyota
ordering system each body shell has their own identity tag that will remain with it throughout the
whole production process.

Figure 20: Weld Shop

Man and Machine


The process appears so smooth but it is so complex, it requires hundreds of skilled workers to
complete this process as this is manual process. Spot welding has been done where spots are
designed but still this process requires so much efficiency. Skilled worker bring their combine effort
to weld steel sheets to form the body shell.

Figure 21: Spot Welding

Page | 21
Internship Report-Indus Motor Company

Just in Time
In the weld shop there are many sub-assemblies that are connected to the final line where the
whole bodyshell is created to make a car. By using just in time it is difficult to maintain the exact
flow of parts on the main line in exact time.

Construction of Underbody track


Each car requires the separate welding machines and each of these connections serves of different
purpose. Each weld is differently design using different thicknesses, temperatures and techniques
some weld is used for welding side members while other for doors. It takes more than 3-4 minutes
to weld the side member with the cars underbody. At the end of the shell body line the bonnet and
boot are attached to the car by hand.

Figure 22: Underbody Track

Final Inspection
Both people and machine is backed by the quality assurance team to inspect the machine and parts
for the reduction of human and machine error. The team makes a final visual inspection, ensuring
that the bodywork is perfectly joined and that the panels are smooth. Then the body lifted on to a
conveyor that takes it into the Paint Shop.

Figure 23: Final Inspection

Paint Shop
Paint shop in Toyota Pakistan keeping it important to create dust free and clean environment for
the effective application of paint. It took 14 to 15 hours to treat Toyota vehicle in paint shop. Cars
directly entering after spot welding into the paint shop, the paint shop in Toyota Pakistan are
automated while some area still has worker for certain jobs.

PTD Process

Body arrives in paint shop after few minutes from the welding here the body undergoes to PTD
process that is pretreatment electrode deposition that is body undergoes to the process of
electrolysis for the prevention of corrosion and rusting which is of 45 minutes.

Sealer Application

Sealer application is the second stage, where sealer is applied on the panel joints of the two welded
metal sheets to prevent water and moisture to enter, after sealer application body undergoes to
baking. After baking body is now ready for first primer application. Since the welding process is
done manually so it is needed, to have 100% surety.

Final Coat

Primer application is the last stage. Top coat application of paint is by robots, total 15 robots are
installed in paint shop in which 9 robots are used for clear coat application while 6 robots are
installed for base coat application while the inner body is painted manually.

Internship Report-Indus Motor Company

Final Inspection

Two quality inspections is done before body moves into the assembly, the minor defects repair at
the moment while the intensive repair takes time and then body stay back in paint shop

Wax Booth & Blackout tape

Application of wax on different parts of vehicles and blackout tape is applied on the wheel arches
and doors

Since the production is Heijunka so the lead time remain same no matter what car is painted
in the paint shop but vehicles having intensive repair in the paint shop causes the problem
in the assembly line.

Figure 25: Paint Shop

Assembly
The transformation begins; assembly shop is the heart of IMC. Two different production lines are
for passenger cars and commercial cars are here. For corolla and Yaris there are three lines in total
that is trim, chassis and final line while for Hilux there are total three lines as well but this is trim,
frame and final that is followed by QG that is quality gate for inspection at last in both.3000 parts
on an average is fitted into the cars during assembly process. There are total 35 stations in
Assembly including quality gate

Trim line
There are total 43 processes on trim line for Corolla and Yaris where the outer body part is being
ready. On trim line there is supply of common as well as exclusive parts that is being placed on
racks with proper tags for identification of parts. Exclusive parts that are only fitted in some
variants are supplied on CCR call. There are total 43 workers working on the trim line.

Figure 26: Trim Line Station T-11 LH

Internship Report-Indus Motor Company

Chassis Line
On chassis line there are 36 total processes for Corolla and Yaris here most of the underbody parts
or mechanical components are being fitted that is engine. Engine is transferred on CCR call for the
upcoming variant on chassis line. The front suspension, brakes and gearbox are sub-assembled in a
separate area and added to the car after the engine. Finally, the car is filled with fuel and coolant
liquids. The Takt time for Yaris and Corolla is 4.2 min

Final Line
There are total 24 process on final line where the all cosmetic part are being fitted , on final station
one tires are being fitted then as body moves forward different parts are fitted to add the value of
beauty from customer point of view. There are total 24 people working on final line.

New Commercial Line (NCL)


The commercial variants are assembled in the NCL. After the body comes out of the paint shop is
transferred to the NCL. In NCL there are total three lines that is trim frame and final line. This line is
M-shaped. The process on trim and frame is done in parallel. The takt time of the line 17.04 mins.

The frame is lifted by the scissor lifter that is then fitted onto the body which is further transferred
to the final line for the different processes

Figure 28: NCL Final Line

In the above shown picture the body is at the starting point of final line. The underbody is ready
which is transferred from the trim line and now the frame has to be adjusted. There are multiple
processes that have to be done on the final line.

Figure 29: NCL Final Line

The frame is being lifted by the scissor lifter which is then adjusted manually. Hilux comes in two
parts while the fortuner is in single which is adjusted and further transferred to the final station for
different process. In the last quality inspection is being done in QG for the reduction of errors

Internship Report-Indus Motor Company

Quality Assurance
At this point, each vehicle is almost at the end of its production journey. The journey started with
the pressing of metal sheets is converted in to a high-quality car worthy of a five-year warranty. But
still there are multiple work that has to be done which is really important. Every shop have their
own quality inspection area to minimize the defects and error but if any error has been missed so it
is the final check now.

Hands on the Job


As the car arrives from the assembly, the quality control department has started to work on each
and every vehicle before it passes to the factory. The team deals with the body panel and panel
gaps to check for imperfections. It is hard to find the fault because body has already passed through
the different quality checks. It took almost time for the quality check.

Operational checks
After the interior and exterior quality checks engine has started. The engine started multiple times
to check the quality then underbody is checked and further the bolts and fixings are double-
checked for security.

Under the Spot light


It is the last stop to make sure every vehicle is looking at it best. Now each and every vehicle hit the
light tunnel for the final check that is paint is up to mark and either are there any dents or
scratches. It took almost 72 hours from turning sheet steel and parts into a fully functioning, road-
legal car.
