 . Description of the company/institution

PARSAT PISTON DAGITIM TİCARET SANAYİ A.Ş. has been established in 1968.

PARSAT has made a licensing agreement in 1970 with the famous German firm

KOLBENSCHMIDT and started its productions. Within years, it has become so mature that it

was able to produce its own molds and sets. Thanks to the advancements in technology, it is

now one of the leading piston producers worldwide.

As a result of a continuous growth for thirty years, PARSAT now has the capacity to

produce 2 millions of pistons and piston pins. The company has adopted and implemented

modern and flexible production principles. Thanks to this understanding and the global

competitive power of 800 different types of pistons, forty percent of PARSAT's total

production is being exported. For the same reason, when it receives demands for new types of

pistons, PARSAT has the capability to produce what is demanded in the shortest time without

making concession of its firm high quality standards. Behind the success of this companş

possessing the RWTUW ISO 9002 certificate lies the superior union of high technology and

highly qualified workforce. Other than piston the firm produces many more products.

Demirören Group produces its own high quality LPG cylinders and increases its capacity

more every passing year. Thanks to this production, Demirören Group has the ability to

control all of its LPG-related services at any stage and to meet the consumer's needs with the

highest quality products at any stage. DEMİRÖREN TÜP A.Ş.'s facilities in İzmir Pınarbaşı

neighborhood extends on an area of 21 thousand square meter and production is fully

automatic. As a result of its hard work, Demirören Group of Companies has earned to receive

TSE and ISO 9002 certifications thanks to the high standards it has achieved.

DEMİRÖREN TÜP A.Ş. factory produces:

a) 2500 units of 2 kg picnic-type gas LPG cylinders in 8 hours

b) 2500 units of 12 kg kitchen-type gas LPG cylinders in 8 hours

c) 150 units of 45 kg industrial-type gas LPG cylinders in 8 hours

d) 250 units of 24 kg small industrial-type gas LPG cylinders in 8 hours

e) 250 units of 60 liter auto gas tanks for automobiles in 8 hours.

Overview of the Internship Project

During the internship i did not concentrate on a specific project. I started with learning

drawing pistons in pro- engineer and after that i started helping the engineers with the

drawings. During the internship my main aim was to design a piston which is relatively easy

to produce as well as robust and inexpensive. There were different types of pistons and i

concentrated on modelling car pistons. The contribition of the project to the company was

good because the main aim of the project was to produce more robust pistons. I believe that
after making some modifications on my project, it will definetly increase the productivity of

the firm.

Experience gained during the internship period

In the internship i gained a lot of experiences about how pistons are

modelled are drawn in pro- engineer. First ı was given some small projects like

drawing some basic prototypes of pistons and testing them under hardest

conditions by using a software. Even though i was familiar with the program

that i used in Parsat, first i had some trouble with the drawings and the

modelling part. After drawing some basic prototypes, i was given more

responsibilities and started to help the enginners in their drawings. In Parsat i

saw how the projects are handled and the long processes that the engineers

cope with before the automation of the pistons. I believe that i gained a lot of

enginnering skills by working together with the enginners. I learned important

details about how the projects should be handled and the things i need to give

heed. Other than modelling pistons, i examined the other fields of the firm like

the production systems and the marketing strategy of the firm.

Objectives/Expectations and Achievements/Reality of the internship.

İnternship in Parsat was beter than ı expected and it was a great

experience for me. I used my classroom knowledge a lot when modelling the

pistons but it was not enough. I had to learn different things like advance

modelling techniques and i learned the importance of analysing every detais of

the project. Before my internship my objective was to get some important

informations about how the systems work and what processes are done to

increase the reliability of the projects. I believe that i learned and gained more

than i expected for sure.
