OVERVIEW OF TWO- WHEELERS MOTORS

History:
-2-
The Britannica Encyclopedia describes a motorcycle or tricycle propelled by an internal- combustion engine (or less often by an electric engine). The motors as mini bikes, scooters, & mopeds or motorized velocipedes, are usually air-cooled and range from 100 to 250 cc (1.5 to 15 cubic inches) in displacement, the multiple-cylinder motorcycles have displacements of more then 1300 cc. The automobile was the reply to the 19th century dream of self-propelling the horse-drawn carriage. Similarly the invention of the motorcycle created the self-propelled bicycle. The first commercial design was a three wheeler built by Edward Butler in Great Britain in 1884. This employed a horizontal single-cylinder gasoline mounted between two steer able front wheels and connected by a drive chain to the rear wheel.
The 1900s saw the conversion of many bicycles, or pedal cycle by adding small, centrally mounted spark ignition engines. There was then felt the need for reliable
-3-
constructions. This led to road trail tests & competition between manufacturers. Tourist trophy (TT) races were held on the Isle of Man in 1907 as reliability or endurance races. Such were the proving ground for many new ideas from twostroke-cycle designs to supercharge, multivalve engine mounted on aerodynamic, carbon fiber reinforced bodywork
Origin of Motor - Scooters.

Edward Butler, an Englishman, built the 1st motor tricycle in 1884. The 1st gasoline-engine motorcycle to appear
-4-
publicly was built by Gottlieb Daimler, of Bad Cannstatt, Germany in1885. The French and Belgians, followed by British, German, Italian, & American makers, designed the 1st practical engines and motorcycles. The popularity of the vehicle grew, especially after 1910. During World War I all branches of the armed forces in Europe, principally for dispatching, used the motorcycle. After the war it enjoyed a sport vague until the Great Depression began in 1929. After World War II a revival of interest in motorcycles lasted into the late 20th century, with the vehicle being of high-speed touring & sport competitions. The practice of attaching auxiliary engines to bicycles in Western Europe & parts of US led to the development during the 1950s of a new type of light motorcycle, the moped. Originating in Germany as a 50 cc machine with simple controls & low initial costs, it was largely, free of licensing and insurance regulations except in Great Britain.
The more sophisticated motor scooter originated in Italy soon World War II, led by manufacture of a 125cc mode. Despite strong
-5-
competition Austrian, &

Germany, the Italian

Britain,
maintained the lead in the diminishing market. The scooter has small wheels from 20 to 36 cm (8 to 14 inches) in diameter, and the rider sits inside the frame. Power units are placed low & close to the rear wheel, which does level gearing or chain drive. Capacities vary from 100 to 250 cc & four- speed gearing is common.
INTRODUCTION TO HERO HONDA AUTO LTD

The HERO HONDA Group came into existence during the turmoil & the euphoria of Indias freedom struggle. Jamnalal j, founder of the HERO HONDA group, was a
-6-
confidant & disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, & was deeply involved in the effort for freedom. The integrity dedication resourcefulness & the determination and to succeed which are the characteristics of the company today, are often tracked back to its births during those long days of relentless devotion to a common cause. Kamalnayan, the eldest son of Jamnalalj, succeeded his father in 1942, at the age of twenty-seven. Putting the nation before business, he devoted himself to the latter only after India achieved Independence in 1947, but when he did so, put his heart and soul into it. Within a short while, he not only consolidated the Group, but also diversified into various manufacturing activities, elevating the Group to the status it enjoys till this day. Rahul today heads the Group. He has been the Chief Executive Officer of Hero Honda since 1968 and is recognized as one of the most outstanding business leaders in India. As dynamic and ambitious as his illustrious predecessors, he has been recognized for his achievements at various national and international forums. Hero Honda is currently Indias largest two and threewheeler manufacturer and one of the biggest in the world. Hero Honda has long left behind its annual turnover of Rs.72
-7-
million (1968), to currently register an impressive figure of Rs.42.16 billion (US$ 936 million).

PROFILE OF ILKAL TOWN

About 30 years ago ILKAL known for the handloom silk sarees where every house had handloom industry. This saree is a prime requirement in all marriage in northern part of Karnataka and some parts of Maharastra. By the time the whole world was fascinated by lustrous and unmatched look of Balakundi pink granite. Initially only few companies who are pioneer in granites have started exploration & export of granites. Slowly people got awareness about granite quarrying export market and high profit margin have entered into granite quarrying. Now there are about 150 quarries situated around ILKAL town & contributing more then 30% share of total granite export of INDIA. Hence ILKAL is well-progressed town since its name is well known in the international market. Besides there are about 30 to 40 granite tile cutting and polishing factories at outskirts of ILKAL & nearby villages. As all the quarries are situated at interior places. Four wheelers cannot go to operating areas hence two wheelers have become inevitable of all quarry owners. Besides all these the population of the town is more then 85000 & it is the major growing town in Hungund taluk
- 23 -
Due to above all, life standards of people is above average & hence has a better purchase capacity. And ILKAL is attached to about 15 major villages and thereby floating population is highly appreciable. Hence ILKAL is the proposed town of taluk therefore there is a strong feeling with public that there is a huge scope for sales promotion of Hero honda vehicles and hence good opportunity for after sales service and sales. At present there are two dealers of motor vehicle at ILKAL, one is BAJAJ sales and service showroom and another one is TVS SUZUKI sub dealer. Therefore it is an opportunity for us to people in a better way through HERO HONDA (i.e. DESH KI DHADKAN).

Customer Satisfaction
- 26 -
Defining customer value & satisfaction. Over 38 years ago, Peter Dhuker observed that a companys first task is To create customers However, customers face a vast array of products and brand choices, price & suppliers. How do they make their choices? We believe that our customers estimate which offer will deliver the most value. Customer are value maximizes within the bounds rich costs & limited knowledge, whether or not the offer lives up to value expectation affects both satisfaction and repurchase probability.
Customer Perceived Value:

Our premise is that customer will buy from the firm that they see as offering the highest perceived value. Customer perceived value (CPV) is the difference between the prospective customers evaluation of all the benefits and all the costs of an offering & the perceived alternatives. Total customer value is the perceived monetary value of the bundle of economic, functional & psychological benefits customers expect from a given market offering. Total customers cost is the bundle of costs customers expect to incur in evaluating, obtaining, using & disposing of the given market offering.
- 27 -
Total Customer Satisfaction:

Whether the buyer is satisfied after the purchase depends on the offers performance in relation to the buyers expectations. In, general satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from compiling a products perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted The link between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is not proportional. Suppose customer satisfaction is rated on a scale from one to five. At a very low level of customer satisfaction (level one), customers are likely to abandon the company and even bad mouth it. At levels two to four, customers are fairly satisfied but still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. At level five, the customer is very likely to repurchase & even spread good word or delight creators an emotional bond with the brand or company not just a rational preference. Measuring satisfaction although the customer centered firm seek to create high customer satisfaction, that is not its
- 28 -
main goal. If the company increases customer satisfaction by lowering its price or increasing its service, the result may be lower profits. The company may be able to increase its profitability by means other than increased satisfaction (for example, by improving manufacturing processes or investing more in R&D) Also, the company has many stake holders including employers, dealers, suppliers, & stock holder. Spending more to increase customer satisfaction might divert funds from increasing the satisfaction of their Partners. Ultimately, the company must operate on the philosophy that it is trying to deliver a high level of customer satisfaction subject to delivering acceptable levels of satisfaction to the other stakeholders, given its total resources.
Attracting customers:
Today customers are becoming harder to please. They are smarter, more price conscious, more demanding, less forgiving, & they are approached by many more competitors
- 29 -
with equal or better offers. The challenge, according to Jeffery Gitomer is not to produce statistical customers; several competitors can do this. The challenge is to produce delighted & loyal customers. Companies seeking to expand their profits & sales have to spend considerable time and resources searching for new customer. To generate leads, the company develops ads & places them in media that will reach new prospects, it sends direct mail & makes phone calls to possible new prospects; its sales people participate in made shows where they might find new leads; & so on. All this activity produces a list of suspects. To motivate its employees to serve the customers well, it displays the following poster prominently around its office.
Who is a customer? A customer is the most important person ever in this office. In personal by mail. A customer is not dependent on us.. We are dependent on him
- 30 -
A customer is not an interruption at our work . He is the purpose of it. We are not doing a favor by serving him .. he is doing a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so. A customer is not someone to argue. Or match wins with. Nobody ever won an argument with the customer. A customer is a person who brings us his wants. It is our job to handle them profitably & to ourselves.
Forming strong customer bonds: The Basics

Companies that want to form strong customer bonds need to attend to the following basics. Get cross-departmental participation in planning and managing the customer satisfaction and retention process. Integrate the voice of the customers in all business decisions. Create superior products, services, and experiences for the target market. Organize & make accessible a database of information on individual customer needs, preferences, contacts, purchase frequency & satisfaction.
- 31 -
Make it easy for customer to reach appropriate company personnel and express their needs perceptions and complaints. Tools for tracking & measuring customer satisfaction: -Complaint & suggestion systems: A customer-centered organization makes it easy for customer to register suggestion and complaints. Some customer-centered companies- P&G, General Electric, and Whirlpool- establish hotlines with toll free numbers. Companies are also using web & E-mail for quick, two- way communication. -Customer satisfaction surveys: Studies show that although customers are dissatisfied with one out of every four purchases, less than 5% will complain, most customers will buy test or switch suppliers. Responsive companies measure customer satisfaction directly by conducting periodic surveys while collecting C.S data, it is also useful to ask additional questions to measure repurchase intention & to measure the likelihood or willingness to recommend the company and brand to others. Host shopping:
- 32 -
Companies can hire people to pose as potential buyers to report on strong & weak points experienced in buying the companys & competitor products. These shoppers can even test how the companies sales person handles various situations. Managers themselves should leave their offices from time to time, entire company and competitors sales situations where they are unknown, & experience first hand treatment they receive. A variant of this is for managers to phone their own company with questions & complaints to see company with questions & complaints to see how the calls are handled. Lost customer analysis: Companies should contact customers who have switched to another supplier to learn why this happened. Not only this, it is also important to conduct exit interviews when customers first stop buying, it is also necessary to monitor the customer lost rate.

Provide better post-services to customers. Provide accessories & any materials if possible at the time of purchasing the vehicle. Customers expect delivery at promised period of time & spare parts are maintained in stock. There should be proper advertising of an introducing or issue the new scheme of the company.
