ORGANIZATION PROFILE

MARUTI UDYOG LIMITED

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW:

Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of

Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by the lack

of an efficient public transport system.

Suzuki Motor Company was chosen from se

ven prospective partners worldwide. This was due not only to their undisputed

leadership in small cars but also to their commitment to actively bring to MUL contemporary

technology and Japanese management practices (which had catapulted Japan over USA to

the status of the top auto manufacturing country in the world).

A licence and a Joint Venture agreement was signed between Govt of India and

Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982.

The objectives of MUL then were:

1 Modernization of the Indian Automobile Industry.

2 Production of fuel-efficient vehicles to conserve scarce resources.

3 Production of large number of motor vehicles which was necessary for economic

growth.

ORGANIZATION VISION:

"The Leader in The Indian Automobile Industry, creating Customer Delight

and

Shareholder's Wealth; A pride of India."

OUR CORE VALUES:

1 Customer Obsession

2 Fast, Flexible and First Mover

3 Innovation and Creativity

4 Networking and Partnership

5 Openness and Learning

TECHNOLOGICAL VANTAGE:

We have introduced the superior 16 * 4 Hypertech engines across the entire Maruti

Suzuki range. This new technology harnesses the power of a brainy 16-bit computer

to a fuel

efficient 4-valve engine to create optimum engine delivery. This means every Maruti

Suzuki

owner gets the ideal combination of power and performance from his car.

Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

Page 18: Project on automobile

SHANTESHA MOTORS PVT. LTD.

Our other innovation has been the introduction of Electronic Power Steering (EPS) in

select models. This results in better and greater maneuverability. In other words, our cars

have become even more pleasurable to drive.

PRDUCTIONI R & D:

Spread over a sprawling 297 acres with 3 fully-integrated production facilities, the

Maruti Udyog Plant has already rolled out over 4.3 million vehicles. In fact, on an average,

two vehicles roll out of the factory every minute. And it takes on an average, just 14 hours to

make a car. More importantly, with an incredible range of 11 models available in 50

variants, there's a Maruti Suzuki made here to fit every car-buyer's budget. And dream.

We also run a creche for the children of construction workers, which provides food

shelter and education for 85 children.

Education to underprivileged

DPS Maruti Shiksha Kendra, an education programme for the underprivileged, was

inaugurated at DPS, Maruti Kunj recently. The objective of his project is to educate the

children of below poverty line (BPL) families from the nearby villages of Gurgaon district.

120 students in the age group of 5-8 years have already enrolled. DPS Maruti Kunj is

providing books, writing material and uniforms, refreshment and transport facilities to these

children.

'Chetna', an education programme for mothers - is an another endeavour to provide

basic education to mothers of the students of DPS Maruti Kunj and surrounding villages.

Majority of students at the school is first generation learners. Therefore, the concept of

starting a movement of learning 'Chetna' for mothers has been promoted. The response has

been encouraging and about 130 mothers are attending it regularly.

ENVIRONMENT CONCERN:

Our environment Policy:

Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

Page 28: Project on automobile

SHANTESHA MOTORS PVT. LTD.

Prevent pollution.

Promote energy reduction and use of alternative energy.

Manage/ reduce those materials that put stress on environment.

Promote the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle).

Promote "Green" procurement.

Provide our employees with environmental education to

increase their awareness.

Since the commencement of operations in 1981 we've been committed to the

protection of the environment and conservation of non-renewable .energy sources. Our

proactive approach depends not only upon meeting the expectations of the regulatory

authorities but achieving the high standards that we've set as a responsible corporate citizen.

This philosophy of trying to make a difference to the environment penetrates

through our employees to the process of manufacture and finally into our products.

Pollution Control Camps

Our elaborate system of Free Pollution Check-Up Camps which run at regular

intervals, is designed at making the cars already on the road operate more efficiently. It also

inculcates awareness for environmental protection among the many car users of India.

MPFI

We have introduced Euro II compliant MPFI engines in all our models. Along with

our vendors, we've made investments of over Rs. 60 million for introducing MPFI

Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

SHANTESHA MOTORS PVT. LTD.

technology compliant cars.

CNG

Maruti is a strong advocate of CNG, a more eco-friendly fuel alternative to diesel and

petrol. In our endeavour to provide a cleaner and greener option to the customer, we are in

the process of equipping an extensive dealer network to assist Maruti owners in fitting CNG

kits.

Rain Water Harvesting

To recharge the aquifer, measures were taken to harvest the rain water through soak

pits, recharging shafts and water lagoons. These measures are capable of charging nearly

50% of the average annual rainfall at Maruti, into the Earth.

Post Script

Our social efforts were a key factor in the company being awarded the CII-EXIM

Business Excellence Award in November 1998. Maruti is only the second company to have

won this prestigious award which covers all aspects of a company's operation, and pays

considerable attention to the company's social and environmental efforts.

In recognition of our commitment to environment protection and conservation of

non

renewable energy sources, we were awarded the ISO 14001 Certificate for our Environment

Management Systems at the Gurgaon Plant. The ISO 14001 certification is applicable to all

our manufacturing activities, products and services.

Open office culture for easy accessibility

To implement this philosophy, we have taken several measures like a flat

organizational structure. There are only three levels of responsibilities ranging from the

Board Of Directors, Division Heads to Department Heads. Other visible features of this

philosophy are an open office, common uniforms (at all levels), and a common canteen for

all. This structure ensures better communication and speedy decision-making processes. It

also creates an environment that builds trust, transparency and a sense of belonging amongst

employees.

SUGGESTIONS:

1. The SMPL has been able to create good image in the minds of customer.

But as the customers are demanding reliable and timely service it is

recommended due importance to these factors.

2. Though the customer response is good about SMPL but there should be

continuous improvement in the customer care and follow up services, this

factor should treated as a journey not a destiny.

3. According to the respondents surveyed I found that most of the respondents

get their car service from the authorized service stations and few of

respondents are still unaware of Shantesha motors pvt ltd so the company

should concentrate on this customers with respect to there genuine service

providing to its customers.

4. As 76% of the respondents get their car serviced form authorized service

station and reaming 24% are still getting there cars serviced form

unauthorized and local garages so the company can look into the matter and

try to gain those 24%.
