HYUNDAI MANUFACTURING PLANT CHENNAI
 FLOORS.

Mainly there are 4 floors in Hyundai manufacturing plants which are

known as shops :-

• Engine shop
• Press and body shops
• Paint shop
• final assembly shop.
 1. ENGINE SHOP
• There would be no point talking about the Automotive Production without
talking about the Heart of the Vehicle, i.e. the Engine and along with it the
TransAxle.

• The birth or identity of an engine is given when the Engine Block gets
machined and the the EIN (Engine Identification Number) is punched into the
Engine Block.
• The assembly process of the Engine is again precision controlled with various
stages of machining the Pistons, fitment of the Piston rings and then lowering
the assembly into the Engine Block.
• Finally the Engine Head comes and then the engine undergoes a series of
tests. One of the most significant being the Leak Test and pressure tests.
• The engines are then "pre-run" in some cases before getting mated to the
TransAxle.
• The TransAxle, consisting of the Gear Box assembly is typically made ready
and made available at the marriage point. The Sequence of production of the
Engine closely follows the Production of the Vehicle Body and that of the
TransAxle closely follows the sequence of engine production.
 2. PRESS AND BODY SHOPS
• This is where the production process starts, with most of the Metal parts getting pressed
out of Steel Sheets. Mainly by robots as the parts are quit heavier and difficult to operate
by humans.

• The door panels, Roof, Bonnet, Boot Lid etc are typically pressed in to form the basic
structure of the automobile.

• Most of the robots used are manufacture by Hyundai itself only.

 3. PAINT SHOP

The output of the Weld Shop is called as a BIW or a Body In White. These are the
cabs that enter into the Paint Shop. The painting process is one of the most complex
and cleanest of process. The Paint booths for example have to be completely dust free.
 4. FINAL ASSEMBLY SHOP
• This is the last and final stop for the automobile in the production process. When out of it, the
vehicle is roadworthy with all its parts working in unison providing locomotion!!!
•
This part of the production process is where most of the fitment is actually done by human hands.

• Most of the components of the car like the windshields, trims, Steering Column, electronics and
the engine - vehicle marriage happens here.

• Finally after the wheels come in, the vehicle becomes capable of moving by its own power.

• Before getting dispatched out of production, the Vehicle undergoes stringent quality tests as well
as the various important component information of the vehicle is captured and stored into the
production databases.

• Following the drive test, the vehicle reaches the yard from where they are dispatched to the
dealership and finally to waiting customers 
• Coming to the car making process,
• Engines and T.Axel are assembled and sent
Engine Shop
further.

• All the panels of the car are pressed at the Press & Body Shop
Press shop and welded together at the Body
shop mostly controlled by robots making the
human intervention less and to ensure
consistent build quality. Paint Shop

• The finished body then goes to the Paint

shop where environment friendly water Assembly Shop
based process is employed.
• From the Paint shop, the painted bodies are sent to the Assembly shop into the
Trim line first.

• From the Trim line, the car goes to the Chassis line where engine and suspension
parts are fitted and sent on to the Final line.
• When all the parts are fitted, the car goes to the OK line for inspection and is sent to the
Roll & Brake testing. After this comes the real road test. The car goes through the
showers afterwards and sent to the Final Inspection line.
 HMC R&D CENTRE
 R&D Center is focused on research and
development based on three themes: safety,
eco-friendliness, and customer values.

 To achieve Zero Accident, this center has not

been only applying active safety technology
but is also establishing a lineup of all the
electrically powered models to realize Zero
Emission through the development of
environmental cars such as hybrid, electric,
and hydrogen-fuelled cars. Moreover, to
increase customer values, it has been exerting
countless efforts into developing incredibly
durable vehicles with the highest fuel
efficiency.
 HYUNDAI belives on ,

Creating shared value through

the realization of energy justice

Because it is our duty to pass-on a clean environment to our next

generation, global automotive companies need to develop eco-friendly
cars and reduce carbon emissions. Hyundai Motor Company will stay in
the forefront of environmental issues and spearhead efforts to realize zero

Benefits to society

Reduce air pollution Reduce energy consumption

Reduce CO2 emissions Innovations for future growth

And Hyundai research centers works on it

The R & D centers do all the researchers and innovations which are required for
the industries to grow and compete the future and Hyundai also do the same .

Here are some of the researches of Hyundai motors labs which they make true
with their cars:-

1. Autonomous Vehicles (AV)

Autonomous vehicles aim to minimize the need for human drivers and look
poised to transform everyday transportation. Fleets of AVs expand the scope of
last-mile deliveries, reduce downtime, and aim to make public transportation
relatively safer. For example, by reducing accidents caused due to driver fatigue
or negligence. AVs are equipped with advanced recognition technologies, such
as AI-enhanced computer vision to identify obstacles along the route.

 
 Hyundai is far outpacing the competition in the development of connected car technologies
for the hyper-connected society of the future.

Their goal is to provide the widest possible variety of smart cars that can connect people
seamlessly with their homes and offices, as well as with urban infrastructures.

HYUNDAI HAVE THERE OWN AI APPLICATION CALLED BY THE NAME

BLUELINK

Now Hyundai car will be more than just a utility. Because it will now be equipped with Blue
Link, a platform that enables an easy flow of critical information between you and your car. It
is an Artificial Intelligence based technology, with inbuilt SIM card and a 24x7 call center that
enhances our safety, security and convenience. It can perform a range of functions with ease. In
short, Blue Link is designed to enhance the connected driving experience.
our voice is our command. With the voice controlled AI technology, you will have an
enhanced driving experience. It become possible because only of the research labs.

Again many operation we can do by Artificial Intelligence through Voice Assistance

like:-

. VAD (Voice Assist Dialing)

This AI based feature provides Voice Assistance for the simple tasks you would
like your car to perform. For instance, calling a number or a name, e.g. “Please
call / I want to call Rahul”.

. Vehicle Navigation Control

Simply ask your car to search and locate your Point of Interest (POI). Be it a
petrol pump, bank or restaurant, you will get an AI enabled Voice Response to
guide you there with real-time traffic information.
Not only by making our ride luxurious but it help in the side of safety also Because it is
equipped with intuitive technology that helps you in case of any emergency.

It provide the facilities like,

Auto Crash Notification

Hope for the best but be prepare for the worst. Which is why, in case of an accident, our
call center is instantly notified to Support you. Your emergency contacts (upto 5 people)
will also be immediately notified via SMS, with your GPS location.

SOS / Emergency Assistance

Your safety is our top priority. And to ensure that you aren’t alone in any grave situation,
we have provided an SOS button (1st from left) on the inside rear view mirror. On
pressing it, the call centre will contact your car and send you immediate Support.

RSA (Road Side Assistance)

Now you will not be left stranded due to a car breakdown in a deserted place. The RSA
button (middle button) on the inside rear view mirror will help you notify the call centre,
which will immediately get in touch with you and dispatch urgent assistance, after
getting your details. Again many more.
 2. Also R&D labs do all the testings on new materials for the better manufacturing of
cars
The process is named as,
THE MATERIAL QUALIFICATION PROCESS

Introduction of a new material in a vehicle is a 3-step process shown in the graphic below.

The development phase is applicable only when a new material with specific properties in
mind needs to be developed.

This phase involves mostly the R&D division at the material supplier and also the automaker if
it is a joint development effort.

Before the new developed material can be used in an automobile component, it needs to be
evaluated and qualified by the OEM. The qualification phase is followed by the validation
phase which involves part prototyping and performance testing.

This paper focuses primarily on the material qualification step but also touches on the material
development and validation process.
Hyundai have various testing labs for several testing and research like:-
• Metals Mechanical Testing Lab
• Plastics Mechanical Testing Lab
• Composite Mechanical Testing Lab
• Component Mechanical Testing Lab
• Joining lab
• Textile Testing Lab
• Temperature Testing Lab

Conclusion
The automotive industry continues to see growth year on year, with high
competition and tough regulations influencing vehicle manufacturers. We
can expect to see further research and development into more advanced
materials. Working with automotive suppliers, the mechanical testing
industry will continue to develop standardization and testing solutions for
the wide spectrum of required testing.
 R&D CENTER IN INDIA

 ADMIN SECTION OF HYUNDAI MOTORS.

• The automotive industry is an exciting marketplace in which to work. There's a huge

variety of different jobs that you can get, in a wide array of interrelated businesses. For
example, we could work at a major car manufacturer, we can work at a dealership that
sells cars, or we could work at an autobody shop that fixes cars.

• There are plenty of automotive jobs that pertain to design, engineering, sales, and repair
work. But if we're more of a business-minded person, then we'll be happy to know that we
can also find a wealth of jobs in business administration. Here are 5 business
administration roles in the automotive industry that could be perfect for we.

• Dealership Management

There are lots of business administration roles in dealership management. When we're in a
management role at a car dealership, we'll generally be tasked with overseeing the
salespeople who work at the dealership, and we'l be responsible for maximizing their sales.
How exactly do we do that? we'll have to develop effective training methods and sales
procedures that convert
 ADMIN SECTION OF HYUNDAI MOTORS.
• Auto Shop Management

There's a huge amount of autobody shops around the world, which means there's
plenty of jobs in auto shop management. As an auto shop manager, we'll have to
manage our staff of auto technicians we'll do scheduling and we'll also evaluate
their work and make sure it's top quality. we also may be in charge of ordering
parts that are needed for repairs. If we're going to succeed as an auto shop
manager, we'll definitely need to have a thorough understanding of how vehicles
work. Otherwise, we may have difficulty assisting our staff with complicated
problems.

The toughest thing about being an auto shop manager is dealing with the
customers. Understandably, many people are wary about auto shops and believe
that repair services are overpriced or misleading we'll have to do everything in our
power to make customers happy so they'll keep coming back and so they spread
the word about our business
 ADMIN SECTION OF HYUNDAI MOTORS.
• Marketing

Marketing is an integral part of the automotive industry and there's plenty of work to be
found. If we're going to be doing marketing for an auto manufacturer, then we'll be
involved with planning marketing campaigns across a variety of mediums: television, print,
online, etc

If we're working for a dealership, we'll be more involved with doing local-based marketing.
Be sure to do research on local SEO marketing strategies if we're going to be doing online
marketing. For example, if we're working at an Orlando-based dealership than we'd want to
use a local keyword like, "lease a new Audi in Orlando." SEO is the most cost-effective
way to do marketing for local businesses.

• Accounting

accounting is a very important job in any automotive-based business. as an accountant,

we'll be doing bookkeeping for your company, in other words, keeping track of all
transactions so we have accurate data on the company's profitability and your company
needs accurate data so it can file an accurate tax return.
 ADMIN SECTION OF HYUNDAI MOTORS.

we'll also be responsible for maxing out your company's tax deductions, and to look for areas
in the company where profitability can be improved or where costs can be cut. accounting
usually requires a college degree, and it's best suited for people who love numbers.

• Parts retail

when we work in the back office of an auto parts store, then we'll be tasked with managing the
store's inventory of auto parts, setting prices, hiring employees, and ensuring that your
employees provide the best possible customer service. this is great work for auto enthusiasts
who'd rather not do the tough labor that's required of technicians. but it's still challenging in its
own way. auto parts stores have a massive inventory. so we're going to have to keep a keen
eye on what we've got stocked and make sure we're offering the most competitive prices on
the market to draw business.

Again there are many positions in admin section.
