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.

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.

natural calamities. They contributed Rs. 2 million to rehabilitate earthquake victims in
Latur.

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

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

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

been encouraging and about 130 mothers are attending it regularly.
ENVIRONMENT CONCERN:
Our environment Policy:

• 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

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.

MARUTI CULTURE:
Our employees are our greatest strength and asset. It is this underlying philosophy
that has molded our workforce into a team with common goals and objectives. Our
Employee-

Management relationship is therefore characterized by:
• Participative Management.
• Teamwork & Kaizen.
• Communication and information sharing.
• 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%.

CONCLUSION
The shantesha motors Pvt Ltd is one of the most prompt service center in Belgaum city
and it should give more effective post sale service to its customers through adopting
various new strategies and developments in organization. The organization should
search for the opportunities to grow in competitive world.
