Executive summary
Internship the core of new curriculum is one of the main changes that were introduced to help students to integrate a thought and to provide dynamic linkage between the industry and the universities institutions of technology to meet the demands of the ever growing economy of Ethiopia. As being one of the beneficiaries of this program we were able to incubate new ideas and meet the demands of the internship we were assigned for. Internship is also without a shadow of doubt will place the students a dynamic environment and make students test and smell a new working environment. This strange environment shines a new light on our life to cultivate our theoretical backgrounds and made us to know the hidden secretes of this world.
The overall structure of the report takes a form of five chapters including this introductory chapter.

CHAPTER TWO Background of the company Around 51 years ago in Addis Ababa Mexico area MOENCO was established for the first time in the form of small garage with the capital of 200,000 Ethiopian birr. It was founded by Mr. Y.D .Lappine in small rented house. His far sighted vision became reality with the help of other resourceful people such as Ato Minase Lemma, the then governor of the national bank of Ethiopia and the boss of imperial Insurance Company.
Cont MOENCO is began to be established nine years later by taking Toyota Franchise business for Ethiopia when inch cape which is London based international organization became a major share holder injected a considerable amount of capital. This was the milestone moment in the firms journey to become the MOENCO of today. In addition to TOYOTA business, at different times MOENCO used to represents general motors for various type of vehicles and trucks of American and England like Ingersoll-rand, WABCO, Pettibow, Universal, Dupont, and General tire, Fregidire, Zanussi and Thomas Delarue All the challenge in work gives MOENCO a great experience and makes to focus on people, service and innovation over the past five decades. The strength they have acquired in these years has also endowed MOENCO with the resilience to survive during the many difficult times.
Cont Now MOENCO has five operational sites are two in Addis Ababa, One in Awasa which is launched in 1998, third in Bahirdar launched in 2004, and another one in ADAMA which is launched in 2010. Their networks include 13 major dealers across the country. Currently the company employed more than 600 employees and has annual turnover of over one billion Ethiopian birr. Besides the famous TOYOTA brand; MOENCO is currently distributing Daihatsu vehicles, komatsu construction equipment, Suzuki bikes, listerpetter diesel engines case, new Holland and etc. MOENCO Adama is one of the branches of MOENCO that we spent our internship program.

Cont Their parts operation is one of their primary value chain systems. It is based on JIT operation system (Just in time) which in turn is based on sell one buy one philosophy. In effect, their parts operation is backed up by extensive inbound and outbound logistic activities Their electronic parts catalogue system (EPC) has enabled their salespersons to identify part numbers easily and accurately. This computerized sales and inventory control system has helped increase productivity and efficiency of staff.
They are continuously improving their services to their customers using the concept of kaizen which is a Japanese term for continuous improvement. They apply kaizen at every step in the parts logistics activity (inventory control, parts sales, warehousing, parts marketing, etc.)
Cont
In this regard, technology has a big role in simplifying different processes, cost saving, promptness and accuracy, which lead to higher customer satisfaction. They apply improved system (software and hardware) in the inventory control process, sales and warehouse activity.
Inventory control Stock items to be replenished and new items to be ordered are automatically generated by the computer on bi-monthly basis. In addition, they also place small frequent emergency orders to address their customers urgent needs. By this combination of ordering they are able to achieve very high service rate (availability) and by utilizing the kaizen concept, they are able to reduce the lead-time considerably. Warehouse They use storage Kaizen (continuous improvement in warehouse operation) which has created an attractive and convenient layout, an efficient and safe storage technique the 7 Toyota storage techniques and a fast and efficient picking and delivering operation.

CHAPTER FOUR Main Activity (Technical Content, Industry-based problem solving and originality). Workshop cleaning
This is the worst scenario that hesitate the cleaners. We perceived the situation at first glance. Since the workshop is very wide only two cleaners have the responsibilities of cleaning every time a vehicle parts are disassembled (dismantled) and oils are discharged. The impact of cleaning the floor and oil manually hesitate the cleaners much. Finally through an extensive study and works the machine is designed and developed.
We gave a proposal to the company managers, to do some project on air filter that may reduce the chance of being caught by a cancer that claims lives of thousands death. But, the company could not give attention, and facility to provide for us to proceed with the project. As a result we fail to do nothing better.
Engine washing
This is another dangerous issue that may be considered. Engine and its internal parts are washed by the benzene and its internal parts are washed by the use of petrol with pressurized air. Since the carbon droplets will mix with the atmosphere, while inhaled may cause a great and catastrophic damage to health.
Even if there are many problems as micro level these are only identified as problem identification. This problem identification may seem exaggerated and someone may think, people working in that area may die. They really die but it does not kill workers over night it is a matter of years.
Specifications
The top of the power wrench that rotates the plate has Torque = 610 nm Angular speed = 7000 rpm
The lever is made 600inclined with the horizontal. The radius of the disc is 15mm The diameter of the plate is 30 mm
Principles of operation
The cleaning machine works by rotation. The power of rotation comes from the pneumatic operating impact wrench. When the wrench began to operate the upper plate is welded to the long 600 inclined pipes so that the lower plate only rotates relative to the impact wrench. In the lower plate the cleaner rag (stratchew) is inserted by wire lock (clamper) made from the copper. Using the rotating motion of the plate the oil is cleaned.
The plate rotates when the tip of the impact power wrench rotates at 7000 rpm the tip of the power wrench meshes with socket number 21 which is welded to the inner race of ball bearing and lower plate the upper plates is made fixed, while the bottom plate is made to rotate.
The rotation of the tip of the impact power wrench do not directly transferred to the bottom plate, so that the rotation of the tip of the power wrench due to the inertia of rotation of the plate and socket and bearing decreases the rotation. The diameter of the socket is 5mm while the diameter of the plate is 30cm.
Cont Therefore the rpm can be calculated from the following relation N1= 7000 rpm
This shows that the plate rotates at 122.2 rad/s so that the inertia of rotation decreases rotation of impact operated power wrench by this amount.
Cont Tangential speed of the plate can be found from the fundamental equation as follows
Torque
A torque is a net turning effect that is used to rotate the circular plate. A torque of 610 Nm with 7000 rpm rotation of the tip of the power wrench as specified in the specification A torque is also the total moment acting about the axis of rotation It is given by Torque = Force x perpendicular distance
F= 40.67 KN
Cont
This tells us that 40.67 KN of force is provided to rotate the given circular plate together with the socket.
Centripetal force
It is the net force needed to make the plate to follow a circular path As the velocity is changing the object must be accelerating R(Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity) According to Newtons second law, acceleration requires a net force and the direction of the acceleration is the same direction as the net force. Centripetal force always acts towards the center of the circle. The centripetal force required to rotate the plate can be found as.
This amount of force is required to move the plate. Factors affecting the size of the centripetal force
Cont
The mass of the object Velocity and Radius of the carried path followed by the object affected the centripetal force. The centripetal force Fc is also required to keep the plate from slipping If the friction is not large enough or in another way if the centripetal force is not large enough the plate may skid or slide or produce noise
Cont This shows that only0.05142 seconds required making one complete revolution The frequency of the plate can be calculated from this relation This frequency must be less than the resonant frequency that produces noise.
Moment of inertia of the plate
The moment of inertia of a body is a measure of the object resistance to changes to rotation. It depends on the mass of the object and its distance from its center. It can be seen that increasing the mass and the distance from the center increase the moments of inertia. The mass of the plates is 0.5 Kg and radius is 15cm
Cont
This briefly illustrates that the moment of inertia of the plate is so small that it can easily rotate at high speed Rotational kinetic energy of the plate Spinning plate posses a kinetic rotational energy KE rotation. Which is due to the rotation of the plate
The maximum power the rotating plate posses would be found as follows

Conclusion
During internship period we tried to work and learn some of the duties and tasks in repair and service shop. We have acquired adequate knowledge about the mechanics of automobile, its systems and sub-systems in a simplified manner. We have also dealt with the essential construction and principles of operation of various components as a part of total vehicle system. Moreover, we tried to grasp basic knowledge and skill that are necessary and sufficient to maintain and provide service for modern automobiles. The design of workshop cleaning mop is also an important component in this company Finally, at the last but not the least the spray holder is designed and put into effect during our time of working in body and paint workshop.
Recommendation
Since there is only one working Oxy-acetylene welding cylinders; two or more workers may simultaneously need the machine. This may force the workers to wait each other and delay the working hour The delays of hours being counted by computer, as a result the customer have to pay for the delay. The arc welding and MIG welding machines which are not operating should be maintained and used as an alternative. Safety materials for all the welding types, sanding, and grinding such as gloves, goggles and others are not enough. Otherwise the workers that are carelessly doing their job may face a series internal and external injury and may lose his precious life. The painters in the painting shop sometimes knowingly paint outside the recommended painting room. They obliviously protect themselves but other innocent workers may be injured.
Cont
The main issues about washing engine by benzene and cleaning air filter by using pressurized air is also have to be addressed well. The safety of the supporting stand that is used during car maintenance the company should give attention to the university students by giving them safety clothes and shoes for their safety And also the company should share ideas that support the project such as air filter cleaning The rigidity of the company is not limited but extended to not to provide resource and facilities such as library, internet access and other reference materials for the intern students to progress for any type of intended project for further insight should be fulfilled.
On the other hand, neither no pocket money is given by the company nor the pocket money given by the university to the internship students is enough. It may be difficult to survive for students from poor background. The serious of sense of punctuality and team working in the company should be admired and promoted for further success.
