FULL BODY & CHASSIS BUS PLANT
[EIRI/EDPR/1076] J.C. 9720
INTRODUCTION
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.
Thus over a dozen potential departments and members of all these departments work in a team spirit in order to run an auto body building factory successfully specials when the factory undertakes heavy commercial vehicles like trucks and buses for new body to replace the old one on the chassis it becomes more important to create a coherent atmosphere in the factory. It is so the because the owners of an individual truck or fleet of trucks and buses authorize robust and hardly type of persons to supervise such works who are very shrewed as well as rough in behaviour, but they know the quality of work being offered by the body builders. Thus if not convineed they can create a seene. It requires a most tactful handling of such customers and also a quality work . It is possible only when fool proof systems have been developed in the factory.
