INTRODUCTION:

Electrical energy is the primary energy source used for running equipment and machinery in modern industries.  However, in spite of the availability of highly innovative electrical drives and devices, realizing most of the mechanical movements in machines/equipment like even simple reciprocation (or, oscillation) of components, handling of heavy loads in confined spaces, etc is almost impossible by direct electrical means.  To achieve such actuation of machine components, drives run by pressurized fluids can be most conveniently employed – thus the fluid power drives or transmissions assume priority.

If the fluid is a gas like air, nitrogen, etc., it is called a pneumatic system.  And, if the fluid used is a liquid like water, oil, emulsion, etc., it is called a hydraulic system. The basic difference between the two is that whereas the gases are compressible the liquids are considered incompressible (in most practical applications).  Another contrast is while the gases are easily let out into the atmosphere from the system, the liquids are filtered/cleaned and recycled within the system.  A typical fluid power system begins with a pressurizing unit like an electrical pump, or compressor and essentially comprises of fluid preparation units, control valves, and actuators.

Over the period, the fluid power technology has evolved extensively, and into amazing sophistication and has become an inevitable part of almost any modern industrial machine.  Such applications include heavy excavators, hydraulic cranes, material handling equipment, jacks, brakes, packaging units, hazardous processes, clean processes, pharmacy, food processing, pick-and-place mechanisms, job feeders, stackers, robots, etc.

This programme covers the Hydraulic & Pneumatic systems, right from the theoretical concepts to the modern products available in the market, to their selection, installation, operational & maintenance issues, standards applicable, etc.

INTRODUCTION:

Since, engineering simulation helps companies avoid the cost of product failure; companies are investing in creating virtual simulation platforms. Big brands are driven by great products, and great products result mainly from realistic simulation.

Traditionally, companies would design parts or subsystems in different engineering silos, and then subject their prototypes to physical tests at the later stage of product design. However, this physical testing will not give enough data for companies that produce smart products: cars, cell phones, wind turbines, etc that use thousands of components. Hence, virtual engineering simulation is increasingly preferred. Knowing how to do it is an important engineering software skill.

ANSYS has a whole set of products for you to perform simulation of structural aspects of a single product or complex interactions of subsystems. It will help you understand how products would work not only in ideal environments but also changing user’s environments or during unexpected consumer usage.

ANSYS offers a suite of engineering simulation software for engineers and designers to virtually analyze how their products (and thousands of parts in them) work in real world environment, at an early stage of product design.

ANSYS software is being used across a wide range of industries to analyze various performance parameters such as signal integrity, electromagnetic interference, thermal issues, and mechanical failure.

OBJECTIVES:

• To generate awareness on ANSYS and significance of Design fundamentals
• To develop and sharpen Technical, Design & Simulation Aptitude of the participants
• To enable the participants understand Design & Analysis for Manufacturing
• To discuss the various issues that the participants face every day in Design Analysis and capacitate them with Error Correction and Problem Solving skill

INTRODUCTION

Understanding and application of Industrial Metrology assumes high importance as the Industry is progressing to high precision accuracy and automation at a very fast pace. Comparison and measurement against the intended dimensions and standards have led to many advances in the Measurement Technologies.

The present program aims at creating the knowledge base and engineering application for practicing personnel and managers in the field of Precision Engineering.

OBJECTIVES

The biggest world-wide challenge of any manufacturing Industry is of understanding the engineering drawing and applying same in manufacturing & measurement. Hardly people know that same drawing can be interpreted differently for different purposes; used for the purpose of product function or feedback to the manufacturing.  The best example is GD&T POSITION TOLERANCE.  It is used for the product function while manufacturing team need different output if TRUE POSITION is out of tolerance to apply correction on machine.

INTRODUCTION

Problem Solving, Conflict Resolving and Decision Making are the core competency of any effective executive. Understanding, learning and mastering these PS CM and DM skills, build potential of the executives towards a senior Leadership role. While the Environment, Education & Experience are on one axis of Business Success Matrix, Change Challenge and Communication are on the other Axis. The process of Interaction and integration of these parameters on the matrix, results in Problems Solving (PS), managing Conflicts (CM) and Decision Making (DM). Managing and mastering the art of PS CM and DM is the secret to Success Therefore, learning to manage PM CM and DM is integral to enhancing peak performance. Conflict may be defined as a struggle or contest between people with opposing needs, ideas, beliefs, values, or goals. Conflict is a conflict of values & interests. Conflict in teams and groups is inevitable and a part of growing process. Conflict not handled in time and properly, can escalate and lead to nonproductive results. Conflict handled properly can benefit the organization both in terms of growth and through put. Whereas conflict needs to be resolved, problems have to be solved. Both may look alike but differ in their nature and in details and hence needs different treatment. Symptoms of the problem often mislead us. Problem solving thus entails identifying the root cause and genesis of the problem. In any business or industry, the ability of an employee to solve problems can mean the difference between success and failure. Lacking the ability to solve problems effectively, can be a source of anxiety and stress for any individual. Problem solving is not an exact science, although there are guidelines that a person can follow to become a successful problem-solver. Flexibility and open-mindedness is an essential part of being able to solve problems, whether it is in our personal life or on-the-job. Possessing advantageous problem solving skills requires a person to understand the problem thoroughly, create a plan to solve the problem, seeing the plan through and reviewing the plan to ensure that the problem is solved and is not repeated. When a person has difficulty in imagining a solution to a problem, it is because he is overwhelmed with the details of the problem and lacks the ability to break down the problem or see the big picture. Decision-making is the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision maker. Decision-making is one of the central activities of management and is a huge part of any process of implementation.

INTRODUCTION:

Viewed in the context of globalization and the globalized nature of procurement processes, in the present era, the Material and Supply Chain Management (SCM) is truly a crucial function for success of any organization. This function is not only an „in-bound' chain in terms of supply to the manufacturing units, but more importantly fast and timely supply to numerous outlets meant to reach every customer in the world. The 'out-bound' chain is thus the sustaining arm of the business and when these two are integrated the emerging picture indeed is crystal clear in terms of the significance of SCM to success of business. Many companies traditionally focused on increasing efficiency by addressing how they could improve each step in their core processes. Hence, in most organizations, the manufacturing function is now in a more matured state as compared to Materials and Supply Chain Management (SCM) functions, especially in „flow‟ type of processes of high volume. Supply Chain integration spells the difference between the view of logistics as amalgamation of discrete functions of transportation and distribution and the new vision of SCM that links all players and activities involved in converting the raw materials into products and delivering those products to ultimate users at the right time and the right place in the most efficient manner. In dynamic environments, characterized by demand uncertainty, significant seasonality, short product life cycles, intense competition, etc., companies that organize for functional integration outperform others who are not organized for functional excellence. Information and Communication Technology has also emerged as a force multiplier in this field. Solutions like SAP have also brought about a revolution in this field. Hence optimization of Material & SCM function in any organization has assumed greater importance in the present era.

INTRODUCTION:

The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others clearly and unambiguously. Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages often misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort, and missed opportunity. In fact, communication is only successful when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication. In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success. In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively – whether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace and stands in the way of career progression. This program is primarily conceived and designed to enhance and sharpen the communication and presentation skills of the participants through effective exposure using case studies method of instruction and interactive & practical sessions on the essential fundamentals of these skills and the associated intricacies, thereby helping them in acquiring the necessary skills to deliver one’s best in the organization. The program is primarily designed to enhance personal and organizational effectiveness.

Vibration refers to mechanical oscillations about an equilibrium point. The oscillations may be periodic such as the motion of a pendulum or random such as the movement of a tire on a gravel road. More often, vibration is undesirable, wasting energy and creating unwanted sound pollution. For example, the vibrational motions of engines, electric motors, or any mechanical device in operation are typically unwanted. Such vibrations can be caused by imbalances in the rotating parts. Imbalances in rotating parts are caused by unequal radial mass distribution on a rotor system, a shaft condition where the mass centerline does not coincide with the geometric centerline. Also, the effective mass causes the rotor to be out of balance. Other reasons may be uneven friction, the meshing of gear teeth, etc. Alignment also plays an important role in the health of the rotary equipment. While carrying alignment Skill, time management and place plays a vital role in upkeep, availability, and reliability of the rotating equipment. The Asset Effectiveness relates to extracting maximum profits from the minimum investment in plant and equipment, improving Equipment Reliability through the effective prediction (and then avoidance) of equipment failures and minimizing downtime through the integrated planning and scheduling of repairs indicated by Condition Monitoring techniques with those indicated by other techniques. The present program aims at attending to the above issues.

INTRODUCTION:

Successful organizations are built and sustained by great leaders. Leadership is not confined to people who occupy top positions in organizations, but it is needed at all levels in an organization and can be displayed even by a person who has not been assigned a formal position in the organization. However, rapid economic growth coupled with an unprecedented rate of technological development has led us to live in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment. Failures, Conflicts, stresses, work-life balance are affecting individual morale and performances. It is also deteriorating interpersonal Relationships. As a result, the efficiency and productivity of the individual & Organizations are getting severely affected both at professional as well as personal front. Hence it has become essential to lead self particularly, under adverse conditions when we are alone. This programme is primarily conceived and designed to generate awareness, enhance and sharpen the essential human skills through effective exposure using case studies as method of instruction and interactive & practical sessions on the essential fundamentals of these skills and the associated intricacies, thereby helping them in acquiring the necessary skills set, to acquire Inspiring Leadership methodologies and Enhancing Interpersonal Relationship

INTRODUCTION:

Worldwide, welding is a multi-billion dollar fabrication technology used extensively in the construction of building and bridges and in automobile, aircraft, aerospace, energy, shipbuilding, and electronic industries. Defects in welds (or) poor performance of weld can lead to catastrophic failures with costly consequences including loss of property and life. As materials are developed with increased strength, corrosion resistance and other performance factors, welding them are becoming more and more difficult. Special filler materials, pre and post weld heat treatment and advanced welding techniques make it feasible at a lowered cost. Virtually every manufacturing industry uses welding process at some stage of manufacturing or in repair or maintenance of process equipment like Industrial Boilers and to the heavy duty welding of steels plates for shipbuilding.

INTRODUCTION:

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns). The design has different connotations in different fields. In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to use design thinking. Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic, and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, products, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes, and even methods or processes of designing. Thus "design" may be a substantive referring to a categorical abstraction of a created thing or things (the design of something), or a verb for the process of creation as is made clear by grammatical context.
