Detailed Project Report on bus body fabrication

BUS BODY FABRICATION
 [code no.1923]


    Automobiles body building units generally specialize in a few types of vehicles for  example a body building workshop of small capacity can under take either trucks or buses of standard design or mini buses or delivery vans or similar other vehicles used for commercial transportation of goods &  passengers. But sufficiently big auto body building factories can under take a range of chassis's for constructing and mounting body on them.

Auto body building involves a lot of structural designs wood & metal working  processes fastening techniques surface production  measures arranging various  accessories and instruments electrical and safety devices at proper places  such a factory requires to be fully equipped with full range of wood/metal working machines and tools, treating and testing equipments high level of productivity and quality oriented team and much more facilities indeed.

Body building is a labour oriented work where all calibres of personnel's and hard  working labourers are treated as assets.

    The important departments of an auto body building factory can be as under:-

1.    Design and Development
2.    Wood working
3.    Sheet metal pressed components and panels
4.    Iron & steel structures
5.    Mechanical fittings and fabrication
6.    Electrical
7.    Quality control
8.    Paint shop along with pre & post treatments
9.    Initial cost estimation
10.    Liaison/purchase/sales/stores control departments
11.    Departmental & overall administration
12.    After sales services
13.    Tool room & machine shop etc.
