1) Survey of the company: 27 May 2010, 198-203.
Majorly the selected project is come under industrial field
influence, So In this phase we will do small scale industrial
visits, Feedback and problems faced by vendors also the view

2) Finding out problem faced by company:
In company’s they use the conventional screw jack which is
not easy to operate and time consuming and it need a much
more man power as compared the new technology.
3) Literature survey:
We visited the local garages to know which problem they are
facing. Mainly after knowing the problems of the company
we visited the tractor company to know the problems they are
facing
4) Purposing a solution to the problem:
To eliminate the conventional screw jack, we are searching
for another screw jack which is easy to operate and give the
comfort hence we go to the gear operated screw jack which
give us comfort and we use it up to long period.
5) Cad model design: -
In this phase we are going to do the design calculations by
referring the standards, catalogue and reference books. In this
work we will finalize the design and components dimensions.
We are also select the material according to parts and
components function and loading conditions. In this phase we
will decide the size and shape of components and its position
in the assembly. Also, we will decide the limit and tolerance
between components and also machining methods required to
select manufacturing component.
6) Fabrication: -
Manufacturing of various components and subassemblies
will be carried out by using suitable manufacturing processes.
The components will be assembled per the drawing.
Working trials of the project will be conducted to
confirm and testing parameters (Time and speed) we will
decide for to get best quality of product.
