Details of Work Done :

1. Introduction

Wireless network communication has become an indispensable part of our personal and professional lives. Be it the use of mobile phones, or air-traffic control, or remote industrial monitoring, or military tracking- …wireless communication is a must. But wireless communication, though it makes lives so easy, is not a simple process at all. The establishment and use of wireless networks requires the installation and proper working of several equipments in several areas. For instance, taking the case of mobile communication, the process of data transfer from the sender to the receiver requires one or more of ‘base transceiver stations’(BTS), a ‘ main switching center’(MSC), ‘base switching station’(BSC) etc. at these sites, there are a number of equipments, such as transmitters, receivers,…etc.

These equipments generally run on a constant DC voltage, and are essential to be operative all the time, for their failure can shut down entire networks and can cause heavy monetary losses, in addition to the great inconveniences and time delays.

To make these equipments work flawlessly, it is essential that the power supply unit that provides them the correct amount of power, is designed and chosen with utmost care. This is where the Telecom Power System, or the DC Power Supply comes in handy. The systems are designed to provide DC power at a constant level, are expected to work continuously for long periods of time, are needed to provide back-up when needed, and are desired to give a warning in advance if there be any problem. In addition, they must be capable of working in

harsh environments, with greatly varying temperatures, humidity and dust.

Work was done with the collaboration of all the departments in the organization such as Supply chain management, planning production and control, purchase, warehouse etc. we been allotted the schedule during the internship to know about the working of each and every department and to know their importance. The work done in departments are explained in the report.

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT:

Store Receipt:

1. Stores directly receives all components after visual checking of material and this is entered in the incoming material gate entry register. A gate entry number is given to each invoice and warehouse in charge is responsible for this.

2. Stores compares the bill invoice with the purchase order placed on supplier, mainly item description and its quantity.

3. Store informs the quality and purchase department for inspection and availability of the raw material in store by updating the SAP. Quality confirms the receipt on same format.

4. The IQC is done by the quality department and then it is been informed to store about the quality check and stores ensures that the sticker is put on each of the raw material checked.

5. Stores keep the material at a specified rack and their location is specified for easy accessibility.

Material issue:

1. PPC informs to warehouse for issue of the raw material for given production order in form of kit.

2. Warehouse issues the raw material against that purchase order(PO) in SAP and give the print out of issue slip to operator for issuing material physically.

3. For issue of material other than production order, a requisition slip is filled by the intender with a proper approval.

4. Warehouse issues the material to the intender’s cost centre.

5. If any of the material is found to be faulty ie is been send back to the warehouse from the production and new one is issued.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT:

A supply chain, as opposed to supply chain management, is a set of organizations directly linked by one or more of the upstream and downstream flows of products, services, finances, and information from a source to a customer. Managing a supply chain is 'supply chain management'

Supply chain management is the most important department of the industry as it links from the time when a SO comes upto the time the production is not over.

The SCM flowchart of Delta electronics is as shown:

 

Apart from management through a common platform within the Group, each business group/unit also maintains its own supplier management system to meet requirements unique

to their operations. To ensure high quality products from our suppliers and reduce risk, our supplier management framework is based around “Key Suppliers” and “Critical Components”

PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL:

Production Planning and Control Functions:

The basic phases of control of manufacture are easily identified in production planning and control. The plan for the processing of materials through the plant is established by thefunctions of process planning, loading, and scheduling. The function of dispatching puts the plan into effect; that is, operations are started in accordance with the plant. Actual performance is then compared to the planned performance, and, when required, corrective action is taken. In some instances re-planning is necessary to ensure the effective utilization of the manufacturing facilities and personnel.(Appendix 2)

Process Planning (Routing):

The determination of where each operation on a component part, subassembly, or assembly is to be performed results in a route for the movement of a manufacturing lot through the factory. Prior determination of these routes is the job of the manufacturing engineering function.

Loading:

Once the route has been established, the work required can be loaded against the selected machine or workstation. The total time required to perform the operation is computed by multiplying the unit operation times given on the standard process sheet by the number of parts to be processed. This total time is then added to the work already planned for the workstation.This is the function of loading, and it results in a tabulated list or chart showing the planned utilization of the machines or workstations in the plant.

Scheduling:

Scheduling is the last of the planning functions. It determines when an operation is to be performed, or when work is to be completed; the difference lies in the detail of the scheduling procedure. In a centralized control situation - where all process planning, loading, and scheduling for the plant are done in a central office- the details of the schedule may specify the starting and finishing time for an operation. On the other hand, the central schedule may simply give a completion time for the work in a given department.

Combining Functions:

While it is easy to define “where” as process planning, “how much work” as loading, and “when as scheduling, in actual operations these three functions are often combined and

10

Page 11: Final Report

[Type text]

performed concurrently. How far in advance routes, loads, and schedules should be established always presents an interesting problem. Obviously, it is desirable that a minimum of changes be made after schedules are established. This objective can be approached if the amount of work scheduled for the factory or department is equal to or slightly greater than the manufacturing cycle. For optimum control, it should never be less than the manufacturing cycle.

Dispatching:

Authorizing the start of an operation on the shop floor is the function of dispatching. This function may be centralized or decentralized. Again using our machine-shop example, the departmental dispatcher would authorize the start of each of the three machine operations – three dispatch actions based on the foreman’s routing and scheduling of the work through his department. This is decentralized dispatching.

Reporting or Follow – up:

The manufacturing activity of a plant is said to be “in control” when the actual performance is within the objectives of the planned performance. When jobs are started and completed on schedule, there should be very little, if any, concern about the meeting of commitments. Optimum operation of the plant, however, is attained only if the original plan has been carefully prepared to utilize the manufacturing facilities fully and effectively.Corrective Action:

This is the keystone of any production planning and control activity. A plant in which all manufacturing activity runs on schedule in all probability is not being scheduled to its optimum productive capacity. With an optimum schedule, manufacturing delays are the rule, not the exception.

Re-planning:

Re-planning is not corrective action. Re-planning revise routes, loads, and schedules; a new plan is developed. In manufacturing this is often required. Changes in market conditions, manufacturing methods, or many other factors affecting the plant will often indicate that a new manufacturing plan is needed.

TYPE OF PRODUCTION SYSTEM:

Job or Unit production:

It involves production as per customer'sspecification each batch or order consists of a small lot of identical products and is different from other batches. The system requires comparatively smaller investment in machines and equipment. It is flexible and can be adapted to changes in product design and order size

11

Page 12: Final Report

[Type text]

without much inconvenience. This system is most suitable where heterogeneous products are produced against specific orders.

PLANNING:

To maintain uninterrupted flow of materials to support the development schedules purchase department is there. It procure materials economically at a cost consistent with the quality and service required. However, generally all purchases may be attempted at the lowest cost. It provides the necessary expertise, advice, information to the Curators and Education Officers with regard to the best quality of material available in the market, supplier capability and performance etc and develop and maintain good buyer-seller relationship.

FUNCTIONS :

The main functions of the Purchase Department are defined as follows:

1. Procurement of stores through indigenous and foreign sources as required in accordance with the rules in force

2. Checking of requisitions/purchase indents. 3. Selection of suppliers for issue of enquiries. 4. Issuing enquiries/tenders and obtaining quotations. 5. Analysing quotations and bids etc., and preparation of comparative statement (quotation

charts). 6.Accounts Officer for pre-audit. 7. Negotiating contracts. 8. Checking legal conditions of contracts. Consulting Administrative Officer or Secretary, NCSM – where necessary. 9. Issue of Purchase Orders. 10. Follow-up of purchase orders for delivery in due time 11. Verification and passing of suppliers’ bills to see that payments are made promptly. 12. Correspondence and dealing with suppliers, carriers etc., regarding shortages, rejections

etc., reported by the Stores Department. 13. Maintenance of purchase records. 14. Maintenance of progressive expenditure statement, sub-head wise. 15. Maintenance of vendor performance records/data. 16. Arrangement for Insurance Surveys, as and when necessary. 17. Clearance of foreign consignments.

SMPS WORKING

Block diagram of a mains operated AC-DC SMPS with output voltage regulation

Input rectifier stage:

If the SMPS has an AC input, then its first job is to convert the input to DC. This is called rectification. The rectifier produces an unregulated DC voltage which is then sent to a large filter capacitor. An SMPS with a DC input does not require this stage. An SMPS designed for AC input can often be run from a DC supply, as the DC passes through the rectifier stage unchanged.

13

Page 14: Final Report

[Type text]

Inverter stage:

The inverter stage converts DC, whether directly from the input or from the rectifier stage described above, to AC by running it through a power oscillator, whose output transformer is very small with few windings at a frequency of tens or hundreds of kilohertz (kHz). The frequency is usually chosen to be above 20 kHz, to make it inaudible to humans. The output voltage is optically coupled to the input and thus very tightly controlled. The switching is implemented as a multistage (to achieve high gain) MOSFET amplifier. This section refers to the block marked "Chopper" in the block diagram.

Voltage converter and output rectifier:

If the output is required to be isolated from the input, as is usually the case in mains power supplies, the inverted AC is used to drive the primary winding of a high-frequency transformer. This converts the voltage up or down to the required output level on its secondary winding. The output transformer in the block diagram serves this purpose.

If a DC output is required, the AC output from the transformer is rectified. For output voltages above ten volts or so, ordinary silicon diodes are commonly used. The rectified output is then smoothed by a filter consisting of inductors and capacitors.

Simpler, non-isolated power supplies contain an inductor instead of a transformer. This type includes boost converters, buck converters, and the so called buck-boost converters. These belong to the simplest class of single input, single output converters which utilize one inductor and one active switch (MOSFET). The buck converter reduces the input voltage, in direct proportion, to the ratio of the active switch "on" time to the total switching period, called the Duty Ratio. A feedback control loop is employed to maintain (regulate) the output voltage by varying the duty ratio to compensate for variations in input voltage. The output voltage of a boost converter is always greater than the input voltage and the buck-boost output voltage is inverted but can be greater than, equal to, or less than the magnitude of its input voltage.

A feedback circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it with a reference voltage, which is set manually or electronically to the desired output. If there is an error in the output voltage, the feedback circuit compensates by adjusting the timing with which the MOSFETs are switched on and off. This part of the power supply is called the switching regulator. The "Chopper controller" shown in the block diagram serves this purpose.

The feedback circuit needs power to run before it can generate power, so an additional non-switching power-supply for stand-by is added.

SMPS TOPOLOGIES

Different topologies of SMPS are referred to as forward or flyback.

- Feed forward SMPS circuits supply energy to the output capacitor when switching element (transistor) is ON.

- Flyback SMPS transfer energy to the output capacitor when the switching element is OFF.
