Abstract

This thesis aims to complete oil utilization during motoring test for manual transmission. This thesis is introduced by one of our automotive industry company, which is PERODUA Engine Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. This project is based on productivity improvement on oil utilization during motoring test for manual transmission in automotive company. The purpose of this thesis is to reduce 50% oil in usage and to reduce the oil consumption for 50%, which is from 49 drums of oil to 25 drums to reduce the oil cost for motoring test. Other than that, the effects of the frequent of the same oil usage need to be studied as this will bring problems in motoring test. For this thesis, scope of the project is in reducing the oil usage for manual transmission motoring test for PERODUA car models such as Kelisa 850 and 1.0, MyVi 1.0 and 1.3 and Kenari 1.0. The problem occurs when the sum of oil utilization for motoring test process is abundant. This happened when motoring test is implemented, some of the oil amount is trapped in the transmission, which is about 1.8L for each transmission. And because of this, company needs to spend more money in getting oil. In this improvement, the viscosity of the oil needs to be considered in order to know the frequent of oil can be used. As the solutions, trapped oil in the transmission needs to be removed by using pneumatic system and this can be done by using recycled parts from this company. From the findings or test, the result is gathered from the tests on three types of car models are succeeded and more than the targets. By checking the oil viscosity for used oil, it is proved that the used oil can be reuse as the result is according to the PERODUA viscosity measurement standard. By implementing this improvement idea, it is believed that PERODUA can save cost in production and by recommending viscometer to replace the current viscosity measurement method; PERODUA can improve their quality in management
