Introduction
The IGEP (Indian-German Exchange Programme) was established in spring 2013 as the first
cooperation and exchange between Indian and German students in technical and vocational
education and training respective their school Jamnabei Narsee School, India and RudolfEberle-School, Germany. The Eumind project TVET1 (Technical and Vocational Education
and Training 1) was added as a part of small international studies for the students in this
field to the exchange programme.
These studies are a part of the Eumind project TVET1. This year’s topic (2015) is ‘Production
Lines – Challenge for companies’. This topic follows the last year’s topic ‘History of TVET in
Germany and India’.
The Indian-German Exchange Programme (IGEP) between Jamnabai Narsee School and
Rudolf-Eberle-Schule has been initiated to study and to analyse the features of production
lines of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Mercedes Benz AG automobile plant during their
exchange programme of each 16 days as one of the points of the itineraries in India and
Germany.
Both groups of exchange students visited Mercedes Benz AG plant in Sindelfingen and the
German exchange students visited the Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. automobile plant in
Mumbai.
The report outlines the interdisciplinary approach with comparative study on history of
production lines, environmental studies, design of new technology and products, business
features, economic implications and automobile engineering.
This project impels students to develop an insight and acumen to understand the needs of
respective countries. The best of the features can be proposed to the automobile industry
for both countries.
It ignites passion in students to consider automobile engineering as their career.
The report highlights and features the current facts and figures, reinforming on sustainable
developments.

Visit to Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
Mumbai, 13th Feb 2015. Mahindra &
Mahindra Ltd. Limited plant was founded
in 1945 and is headquartered in Mumbai,
India. There are about 200.000 employees
in over 100 countries out of which only
14.5% are women and it is the largest
multinational automobile manufacturing
corporation in India. It has sold over 2.1
million tractors annually and it is a part of
the Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. group which
is an Indian conglomerate.
When we first entered the factory we were offered an Indian refreshing drink called “nimbu
pani” and were led to the presentation room where general information about the number
of workers, different production methods, emergency rules, security plans ecsp. fire fighters
and other information about the plant was given. After this a long buggy took us to the production area.
It is noticable that Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. products are usually SUVs, commercial vehicles, two-wheeled motor cycles as well as tractors, a wide range of differing products. The
company also makes cars for the military which helps society. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.

also provides society with grid products such as power packs, roof setups and street lighting
systems.
We were also informed about how they provide a safe environment for their workers so that
they are motivated enough to work. They also pay non-financial benefits to selected and deserving workers. What differs between Mercedes Benz AG and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is
the methods of production. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. produces for the masses and has a
target market of all kinds of people of all income groups and hence their cars are affordable
by most of the population. To produce such large amounts, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. uses
flow production. They have adopted various marketing techniques such as advertising in the
newspaper and large boarding accompanied with celebrity support and customer service to
build up a good image and a famous brand name.
After walking through the production area it was noticed that the factory was more labor
intensive than capital intensive, which increases that flexibility but at the same time brings in
chances for more error. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. also uses equipment for the car making
from other countries-similar to Mercedes Benz AG and labor for quality check and making
the interiors of the car.
After this, we gained the pleasure of travelling in a brand new Mahindra car which dropped
us at a factory cafeteria. Here we enjoyed a small meal and then proceeded home.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. Limited is a very eminent company and will remain for many
years to come.

Visit to Mercedes Benz AG
Sindelfingen, 3rd Jun 2015. When people enter the automobile plant of Mercedes Benz AG in
Sindelfingen they are led to the cinema hall where a short 10 minute clip is viewed by all the
visitors. This plant was founded in 1915 and the film creates a vivid picture of the map of the
plant, types of Mercedes cars produced and method of production. This film is shown to potential customers to encourage them to make a purchase. Before entering the main factory,
we were provided with safety goggles as well as headphones with which we could hear all
the necessary information about the factory.
It is the biggest Mercedes Benz AG plant - 2.9 km² and they have an annual production of
about 376,000 automobiles with more than 3,500 employees work in approximately 800
technology centers. Methods of direct production where there are different plants for the
body and then assembling hence clear division of labor and workplace is observed. This plant
is not only capital intensive but also employs various human labor for sections of the plant
such as finishing of the car, stitching leather to the steering wheel as well as managing the
interiors of the car. With 9 different car models and 4 days to make one, Mercedes Benz AG
also uses the technique of just in time production or in other words produced by the order
of the people. These four days also include the buffer time and the transport time. While
observing the plant it is acknowledged that it is capital intensive and hence mistakes are
limited.
It is also observed that a lot of human work force as well as machinery is used in quality control and body parts are checked at random points every 10 minutes to ensure their reliability
as well as quality. Another thing observed is the different stays of production such as laser
cutting, usage of glue and pressure accompanied by welding. With such potential hazardous
Eumind Project: TVET – Technical and Vocational Training and Education – IGEP 2015

equipment, Mercedes Benz AG ensures that their workplace is safe and the environment for
the workers is ideal – 85 fire men and 14 qualified doctors. Employees gain from perks offered such as 11,000 meals per day from 5 different restaurants (plant canteens) which is also
located in the plant itself.
Mercedes Benz AG is also seen as a plant that employs women in production, which is currently now about 13%. In the medical center about 50% of the medical staff are women.
Other things that are striking about this plant is the floor space and its arrangement. It is a
cell arrangement with ample space in between and this reduces the floor space needed as
well as transport costs, machinery collision is also prevented due to the safe and sufficient
distance between them. The usage of labor allows flexibility of jobs and the fact that they
have 700 different suppliers also allows them to always have a backup when resources are in
need. The use of job production prevents overproduction and hence the need for large
storage space.
Mercedes Benz AG is known for its quality and its brand name and will remain elite in the
years to come for the market.

History of production lines
A production line is a set of consecutive operations used in a factory where materials are put
through a refining process to produce finished products that are suitable for consumption by
the economy
Adam Smith (16 June 1723 - 17 July 1790)
Adam Smith1 is the founder of the theory of capitalism and economic liberalism and one of the most famous economic minds of the
18th century.
One of the theories of Adam Smith was that workers should do only
one step of the production to increase the capacity and produce the
best results possible. Implementing this theory in the process led to
the duty circle increasing in productivity.
He said if an uneducated worker produced a pin on his own he could
only make one per day. If the work was split between the workers and machines, they would
be able to produce 4,000 needles per day and reach optimum capacity. This would provide
specialized tasks to the workers with the subsequent skills. This was the beginning of cooperative division of labor and Smith’s theories led to economic growth in Europe and America.
Henry Ford (30 July 1863 - 7 April 1947)
2
Henry Ford developed and manufactured the first automobile
model T (“Tin Lizzy”) that middle class Americans could afford.
He revolutionized the industry by making low cost cars with the
help of mechanized production lines. This resulted in higher wages
for the workers and improved the standard of living and the economy.
Ford's philosophy was one of economic independence for the
United States. Ford's goal was to produce a vehicle from the scratch without reliance on international trade. He believed in the global growth of his company and international trade
and cooperation. He was involved in the assembly line process in car production and implemented it in the manufacturing of model T.

All major car manufacturers followed his principle as it was an innovative way to increase
profits in the 20th century.
The negative aspect of this system is that the tasks are repetitive and do not use its labor to
their optimum capability. Since the motivation of the workers was reduced due to repetitive
tasks, the efficiency and output decreased drastically leading to higher costs of production.
Current situation
Today line production is capital
intensive3 and not labor intensive
to reduce average cost of production.
Mainly engineers are employed to
facilitate the assembly line production and ensure a continuous output of optimum quality. They have
cyclical jobs to motivate the workers and ensure that the workers
don’t get bored with repetitive
tasks.
This is a crucial point to ensure that efficiency and productivity of the assembly line does not
reduce and affect the sales of the company.
The ‘One piece flow’ is a spin of the line production and has the goal to motivate all workers.
For example they work on one car from start to end of the line. Their “islands” (work station)
are specialized for a certain function of the process. Right now Toyota and Mercedes Benz
AG are using this system.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. uses a labor intensive process as labor is cheap and makes it economical and more productive than capital intensive foreign industries. The large workforce
and specialized workers present an opportunity to Mahindra. This is the difference between
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Mercedes Benz AG.

Future of production lines – Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 identified the networking and automation of machine systems and equipment
in industrial production; what is important here are communication, production and the
managing of clients. Because of that the companies can quickly and flexibly respond aggregate demands and individual customer needs.
The wireless machines take contact to the robotics and working machines which also work
wireless to determine the next step of the production. They ask the warehouse for prefabricated parts and initiate orders. Modern constructions adapt fast to product modification
and demand fluctuation.
According to a PWC study the German industrial companies in the next 5 years will invest 40
billion euros in industrial 4.0-products annually, machine builders around 8.5 billion euros.
For them (the machine manufacturers) it comes already now to participate in this process at
an early stage to stand with their own product offerings for 4.0-part solutions.
For the world of work this means that even fewer workers are needed, manufacturers are
more and more automated. Therefore, the automation industry in the form of 4.0 leads to
unemployment to a great extent. In spite of this, the new systems of work organization are
needed. The current systems of work organization, job enlargement and job enrichment, are
obsolete and will be replaced in industry by 4.0 robots.

A Study - Scientific view upon Mercedes Benz AGAG
It was a great privilege to have been one of the 12 students
from India to make the most of the opportunity to visit the
Mercedes Benz AG production line situated in Sindelfingen.
This factory is the largest production facility at Daimler AG.
The technology centre - research and development departments are far more advanced than the others present. The
technology centre provides competence for upper- class
and luxury class vehicles. Strict procedures and safety protocols are followed by the authorities there.
The machines, especially the robots used for the manufacturing of the cars, are extraordinary as they are equipped
with cutting edge technology. The processes they carry out are efficient as well as ecofriendly. However, the workers are also an important part in the manufacturing process as
they supervise the machine work and also do a lot of work themselves. ”For some processes,
we are faster, but we are also very expensive”, said a worker when enquired about their efficiency against machinery.
The chemicals experimentally innovated in the R&D department of the Mercedes Benz AG
hold significance in the spray paints for the cars and adhesives used to join automobile parts
together, with strength, integrity and efficiency maximised for their purposes.
Humans are an integral part of even the most capital intensive automobile industry. This
industry involves the use of large amount of harmful chemicals, steel and huge body parts.
This environment leads to dangerous working conditions. The need of safety is needed from
the beginning of the manufacturing of the car to the end. These safety measures are not
only present or rather needed for the workers but also the customers buying the finished
products.
There are various stages in the production of the cars like molding, welding and spray painting and all of these involve threats and risks to human life. One of the major dangers is the
exposure to the manganese contained in fumes that are released during welding. Inhaling
manganese can cause prolonged damage to the brain and the nervous system of the workers, leading to major disorders like Parkinson’s disease and manganism that affect movement and balance. The cadmium coating done before welding give out fumes that can lead
to respiratory problems.
However at Mercedes Benz, it is ensured that the employees of all strata and departments
work under safe and conducive environments. A few chemical hazards may include volatile
organics from paints, fillers and solvents. However, the sophistication of this process in the
company includes conveyor belts that pass the body parts through paints with little need of
Eumind Project: TVET – Technical and Vocational Training and Education – IGEP 2015

Production Lines – Challenge for Companies
human contact. The welding processes inside
are taken over by robots, that largely reduces
the contact between the workers and the
processes. Moreover they are provided with
safety glasses, earplugs and protective clothing
which largely reduce the impact of the heat,
fumes and the noise.
However, the noise pollution is not completely eliminated, which affects the environment.
The company also has medical policies for its employees which takes care of their health at
work and provides them with regular check-ups and medical aid.
The need for doctors is not restricted within the medical centers. They are involved in the
production line of the cars too. Mercedes Benz AG is highly known for their luxurious and
highly comfortable cars. The reason for this is because they pay close attention to every
minute detail. A team of highly qualified doctors and engineers ensure the optimum safety
and performance of their cars and these
results in high customer satisfaction.
Considering the different cultural setting in
which this marvelous factory thrives, we did
encounter various aspects that differ compared to a similar factory in a contrasting
cultural setting such as the Indian
environment. Our scientific perspective of this
excursion extends not only to the three main
sciences, namely physics, biology and
chemistry, but also environment and human related sciences such as environmental studies
and psychology.
The smallest problem is taken care of, for example, since the worker population involves
people from different nationalities, maybe not to a large extent, they make sure that each
worker is comfortable in his own space and does not feel out of place. Being one of the leading manufacturers in their field, they use the most advanced technology and ensure optimum utilization of machines and robots to perform tasks that are not possible for humans to
perform or may cause them harm. There are various methodologies and ideas that India can
adopt from this factory such as the various safety protocols that are exercised, the utilization
of technology to its utmost, and the enforcement of strict rules and regulations regarding
the working and procedure.
The safety protocols implemented at the factory include distance from heavy machinery,
health checks and other medical facilities. Risky tasks are done by robots and regular
Eumind Project: TVET – Technical and Vocational Training and Education – IGEP 2015

Production Lines – Challenge for Companies
maintenance is provided for all machinery, as it is of utmost importance for the reputation
of the company to take great care of their workers. Although the safety protocols used in the
Mercedes Benz AG factory are exceptional, they could be improved a little bit by providing
noise cancellation headphones with better noise cutting for workers rather than ear plugs.
These procedures and methods that take care of the safety of the workers should also be in
practice in the Mahindra factory in Mumbai, India.

A Study - Economic impacts of the transformation of
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. Limited to a capitalintensive company and to India
In this report we will scrutinize the reasons why Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. could consider a
gradual transformation into a capital-intensive firm and its impact on the country.
Effect on Employment
Capital investment in robots and advanced automation
could aid in increasing productivity, accuracy and speed up
the production process, it would also lead the company to
make several existing employees redundant and this step
could result in structural unemployment in the short run.
To compensate for this negative impact and maintain their
corporate social responsibility the firm could channelize
resources to retrain employees. However, unskilled workers who are comparatively occupationally and geographically immobile will have adverse effects on their individual careers and
the standard of living.
It is thus imperative to consider these workers and provide them with vocational training for
other opportunities to earn a living. It should further be noted that adopting automation
would also create demand for new skills and various types of knowledge required for the
company’s functioning.
Technology could also increase the scope of
expansion thus enabling Mahindra &
Mahindra Ltd. to achieve greater
economies of scale and to become more
competitive in the long run. Apart from
lower prices and a wider target market,
technology would aid the firm develop and
enhance features and safety procedures
which could make them the first ones in the
market to introduce something new and
thus become a leader in the market. After
the Cost Benefit Analyses, it can be argued
of Scale
that while adoption of automation would be beneficialEconomies
the change
should be at a slower pace.

Advertising and production
Mercedes Benz AGAG is an eminent car company due to
its emphasis on advertising and marketing and therefore
it spends a major portion of its revenue on its brand
name propaganda.
Amongst the various advertising methods adopted by
this company, its promotion through the sponsorship of
the Silver stone rollercoaster in Europe’s largest Adventure Park – Europa Park, stands as a significant, innovative technique. Since this park is visited by thousands of
people from all around the world, it enables Mercedes
Benz AG to advertise to a wider spectrum of people.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. produce cars majorly for the
mass, thus it should continue advertising at public
platforms to enhance its brand recognition, since The Wall Street Journal named it in the Top
10 most innovative companies and hence it should try to keep up to their brand image.
Mercedes Benz AG uses a combination of Job and Mass Production. Job production involving
the customization of cars to the specific requirements of the customer (the material of the
interiors, color of interiors, color of car etc.). By using job production, Mercedes Benz AG
differentiates itself from other car companies in the industry as most car companies do not have the resources
to afford skilled workers to customize their cars, this not
only gives Mercedes Benz AGAG an edge over its competitors, but is also a main difference between Mercedes
Benz AG and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. Mercedes Benz
AG uses batch production to produce the parts of different cars as different cars have different requirements (engine, body of car etc.).
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. specializes in providing agricultural vehicles using mass production as a method of production to produce vehicles allowing Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. to
benefit from economies of scale; their vehicles are cheaper as they are engaged in mass
production.
While Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. uses batch production to manufacture cars for general use,
and its batch production is at a larger scale compared to Mercedes Benz AG, however its
limited customization puts it at a disadvantage against other firms in the car industry.

Management and Human Resources
Under human resources management, there were many differences in the way the workers
worked at each company. The employees at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. were not working on
the cars with any safety equipment on, therefore exposing themselves to hazardous material
that could possibly deteriorate the workers’ health. However, Mercedes Benz AG prioritized
on worker’s safety and even encouraged the visitors to wear safety glasses while visiting the
production factory. The production plant at Sindelfingen is a town itself therefore the Mercedes Benz AG employees are a community, therefore their social needs are satisfied thus
increasing their employee motivation level. It also meets the Maslow’s pyramid of human
resource motivation, thus the management style at Mercedes Benz AG did seek to motivate
their workers to a great extent. Even though Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. follows a different
management style, it is efficient in India because the company considers the priorities of its
workers. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. was also declared as the 2nd greatest place to work in
manufacturing and production was ranked 28 among the top 100 great places to work.
Impact on India
5% of the entire industrial production and 4% of India’s Gross Domestic Product depends on
the automobile sector, thus an advancement in this industry would aid India’s economic and
potential growth. A surplus in these productions of cars could result in an increase of export
and improve the country’s position of Balance of Payments. Unemployment benefits and
financial aids provided to these firms could however be an opportunity cost for the Government and there might also be additional expenses. Since Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is a
private sector firm, it would also use some resources for Research and Development, which
would lead to more ideas and further advancement in technology.
The introduction of robots and technology
would increase investment in India and
probably the export position that would
cause an increase in the Aggregate
Demand (C+I+G+ (X-M)). Also further
training will increase productivity and the
number of skilled employees thus resulting
in an increase in the long run aggregate
supply. (Diagram 1.2)

Vision of a new Mahindra car
Our new version of Mahindra with its advanced technology is
ecofriendly. Unlike normal cars this car works on electricity and
thereby it does not affect the environment by the release of
toxic gases. The car comprises of solar cells which will produce
electricity. The unused electricity is saved in the battery and
can be used any time later when needed.
The modern shape and the doors equipped with stylish lights is an eye catcher on every
road. Furthermore the car has the newest air condition system which is installed in the comfortable seats. Therefore we filter the air and clean it from the polluted environment. The
sliding doors are designed perfectly for the small parking places in big cities. For more comfort we developed the latest suspension, stereo and shock absorbers. The windows are sun
repellent to protect the passengers from the sun rays and to provide them with a comfortable ride. The new bumpers protect the car in road traffic and the sunroof gives a good driving feeling. The car has a high quality interior which is made of recycled cotton and recycled
plastics.
Furthermore the bodywork is made of recycled aluminum (for example from some drink
cans) and out of stainless steel. This metal mix makes the bodywork light and solid which is
perfect to drive and reduce the gas consumption. So the raw materials from the car are
made of trash. This recycling system can help to solve the trash problems we have recycled
trash to make new materials that are used to make these luxury cars. Besides the car will
have a big and roomy boot. In the boot two seats are integrated in the bottom of the car
which you can pull out if you need them. The new Mahindra of the future has a very powerful six-cylinder engine which develops an output of 740 PS.
If you buy the car, you will have a lot of options because you can choose the colour of the
car, the colour of the interior, if your car should have a switch or not and if you want extras.
As an extra you can have a load station for mobiles and laptops behind the front seats.

Furthermore you can have a GPS, drink holders which keep the drinks cool, an extra Wi-Fi
Station. In the sunroof you can have an integrated touch screen where you can watch DVD´s,
check your E-mails and you can skype with friends. As well you can have an autopilot and
you can take massage chair instead of normal seats.
Finally we are proud to present you the currently best car in the world.

Vision of a new Mercedes car
“The Best or Nothing”
Mercedes Benz AG is a German based multinational company. They are
known for their luxury and trustworthy automobiles. Our unique Future
Car has a sporty dynamic design; it is colored in authentic ice blue. And
it is made out of titanium which makes it shockproof and with a special
varnish which repels dirt. The eye catcher drives with electro energy
and is environmentally friendly.
The body of the car is made of titanium, a strong and light metal. Titanium is lighter and stronger
than steel, it is also non corrosive and thus serves as an advantage for our sports automobile. Titanium is also an infinitely recyclable metal and can be used over and over again, thereby reducing the
metal waste. However with all these benefits the major drawback for the customers is the high price
of titanium. For the seats we have used high quality cloth, which is both recyclable and comfortable.
We have maintained major features of the form of Mercedes; in the front, we have the typical
Mercedes form which then converts to give a more sporty look at the rear. This gives the car a more
conventional appearance and pleases the customers. The main details of the Mercedes are kept the
same, the logo (the star) is placed in the front of the car to distinguish that it is a Mercedes Benz. The
wheels are also in the shape of the star, to show the viewer at the first sight that it’s a Mercedes
automobile. The doors of the car open in an upward direction to give it a more conventional feel.
Inside the car, we have one of the best sound systems for our customers, and we have also added a
new innovation which increases the sound volume as the car becomes faster, so that the customers
get to enjoy their music even if the background noise is too much.

Our automobile runs on solar energy. The solar panels are placed on the roof of the car which absorb
the sunlight and run the engine. We have decided to take this step, because of the increasing global
warming and the increase in the temperature, in this way we can use the sunlight to help run the car.
Since sunlight is a major requirement for this form of energy, it might not always be a sunny day that
is why we have an electric battery back-up system. And if both fail, we also have a gasoline back-up;
this ensures that the car keeps running. This form of energy is renewable and also beneficial for the
environment.
For us the safety of our customers is of prime importance, for this reason we have installed a button
near the steering wheel. With the help of this button the customer can communicate with the
nearest Mercedes store if their car breaks down or any other such mishap takes place. Also if the
engine gets too hot, there is an automatic cooling system which cools down the engine and prevents
any accidents. The airbag system is also of very good quality.
Although we have added new innovations and technologies to this automobile, we have still
managed to maintain the basic theme and style of Mercedes Benz.
