    THE INDUSTRY:

    Here the researcher explains about two industries the first one is automobile

    industry and the second is logistics industry of concerned company depends on

    automobile industry.

    AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

    This is the most important industry in India. It is biggest industry in India. It

    has strong employment potential both directly and indirectly. It employs both skilled

    and unskilled labour society. So the customer division of Suzuki is a derived industry

    by the automobile industry.

    The domestic automobile industry would like to believe it is the barometer of

    the economy. Such a belief is line with international trends since in most mature

    economics the automobile industrys performance is viewed as a reflection of the

    economys health.

    Going by depth and diversity, the Indian automobile industry is effectively

    still in its infancy and companies, through many of them have been around for long,

    have reached a respectable size only in the past decade or so. The opening up of the

    industry to competition has also accelerated the growth of domestic companies.

    In terms of size, the automobile industry, with a gross turnover of about

    Rs.49,202 crores, constituted 4.12 % of the gross turnover of about the estimated

    total auto industry size of Rs. 54,000 crores for 2006-07 is only a marginal

    improvement over the previous year in in terms of share in the sector are based on the

    fact that in developed economics, the average contribution by the auto industry to

    GDP exceeds 7 percent.

    6

    7/74

    The stock market has traditionally held an attraction for automobile stocks.

    Listed automobile stocks outperformed the market on a number of occasions in the

    past four years a period when activity in the sector peacked.

    Today with a market capitalization of Rs.15.665 crore, transport stocks

    constitute about 5.73% of the total market cap of the Bombay stock exchange(BSE)

    Sensitive index and about 2.5 % of the total market cap of the BSE.

    The total market cap of automobile stocks, at Rs.9,960.56 crore at the end of

    the 2006-07 fiscal, constituted less than two percent of the BSEs total market

    capitalization. This was lower than the end of the industry market cap of Rs.22,126

    crore at the end of 1997-98, representing 3.95% of the total market cap of all BSE

    stocks as on march 31,1998.

    Through now they are not considered bellwether stocks, nevertheless, given the

    pivotal position of the automobile industry in the economy, companies in the sector

    usually enjoy better valuations than their counterparts in many other sectors. That is

    the case even internationally.

    A comparison with the sensex, a smaller sample of six top performing

    automobile stocks was considered for a more realistic assessment. They are Tata

    Engineering. Which has a presence in the commercial vehicle(cv) and passenger car

    segments; Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra; and the twowheeler manufacturers

    Bajaj Auto, TVS, SUZUKI and HeroHonda Motors.

    On these valuation parameters, the major automobile stocks appear to have

    reached their respective upside potential or, at best, the room for further increase in

    their valuations is marginal . having said that, the historic price movements of these

    stocks indicate that the market trends to, more readily, discount earnings potential in

    7

  • 7/28/2019 Kannan Customersat Suzuki Final

    8/74

    automobile stocks. As a result, turn around cases, especially among the top

    companies, have led to a sharp rebound in those stocks.

    Apart from the potential of company specific news these stocks, their overallpeformance potential depends on a few growth drivers. These could include factors

    such as the continued growth of thw economy and consequently, disposable incomes,

    good monsoons, greater diversity in products and in some cases, the ability of

    companies to perform consistenly even after snapping ties with their joint venture

    partners.

    CHAPTER III

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    Who is Customer?

    A Customer is the most important person ever in this office in person or by mail.

    A Customer is not dependent on us we are dependent on him.

    A Customer is not an interruption of our work he is the purpose of it. We are

    not doing a favour by serving him he is doing us a favour by giving us the

    opportunity to do so.

    14

  • 7/28/2019 Kannan Customersat Suzuki Final

    15/74

    A Customer is not someone to argue or match wits with. Nobody ever won an

    argument with a Customer.

    A Customer is a person who brings us his wants. It is our job to handle themprofitably to him and to ourselves.

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

    Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers

    performance in relation to the buyers expectations. In General:

    Satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from

    comparing a products perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her

    expectations.

    As this definition makes clear, satisfaction is function of perceived

    performance and expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the

    customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is

    satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or

    delighted.

    15

  • 7/28/2019 Kannan Customersat Suzuki Final

    16/74

    DELIVERING CUSTOMER VALUE AND SATISFACTION

    Every firm is a collection of activities that are performed to design, produce,

    market, deliver, and support its product. The value chain identifies nine strategically

    relevant activities that create value and cost in a specific business. These nine valuecreating activities consist of fie primary activities and four support activities.

    The primary activities represent the sequence of bringing materials into the business

    (inbound logistics), converting them into final products (operations), shipping out

    final products (outbound logistics), marketing them (Marketing and sales) and

    servicing them (service). The support activities procurement, technology

    development, human resource management, and firm infrastructure are handled in

    certain specialized departments, but not only there. For example, other departments

    may do some procurement and hiring of people. The firms infrastructure covers the

    costs of general management, planning, finance, accounting, legal and government

    affairs that are borne by all the primary and support activities.

    The firms task is to examine its costs and performance in each value creating activity

    and to look for ways to improve it. The firm should estimate its own costs and

    performances. To the extent that it can perform certain activities better than its

    competitors, it can achieve a competitive advantage.

    The firms success depends not only on how well each department performs its work

    but also on how well the various departmental activities are coordinated. Too often,

    company departments act to maximize their interests rather than the companys and

    customers interests. A credit department may take a long time to check a prospective

    customers credit so as not to incur bad debts. Meanwhile, the customer waits and the

    salesperson is frustrated. A traffic department chooses to ship the goods b rail to save

    money and again the customer waits. Each department has erected walls that slow

    down the delivery of quality customer service.

    16

    17/74

    ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS

    Companies seeking to grow their profits and sales have to spend considerable

    time and resources searching for new customers. Customer acquisition requiressubstantial skills in lead generation, lead qualification, and account conversion. To

    generate leads, the company develops ads and places them in media that will reach

    new prospects; it sends direct mail and makes phone calls to possible new prospects;

    it is salespeople participate in trade shows where they might find new leads; and so

    on. All this activity produces a list of suspects. The next task is to qualify which of

    the suspects are really good prospects, and this is done by interviewing them,

    checking on their financial standing and so on. The prospects may be graded as hot,

    warm, and cool. The sales people first contact the hot prospects and work on account

    conversion, which involves making presentations, answering objections, and

    negotiating final terms.

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

    This research report is a part of the partial fulfillment for the master degree in

    business administration. The Company selected by the researcher is Susee Auto,

    Tirunelveli, which deals in different brands of SUZUKI products. The Area assigned

    by the company for the researcher is the Cuddalore region; On discussion with the

    company, the researcher made a survey towards SUZUKI products about customer

    satisfaction.

    In Marketing, Customer is very often referred to as a KING:. Customers are

    value maximisers. Customer satisfaction is defined by Websters dictionary as

    FULFILLMENT OF A NEED OR WANT. Satisfaction is a persons feelings of

    pleasure or disappointment, resulting from comparison of a products perceived and

    actual performance in relation to his or her expectations. So, Customers Satisfaction

    is a function of the products perceived performance and the Customers expectation.

    17

  • 7/28/2019 Kannan Customersat Suzuki Final

    18/74

    Satisfaction is often a subjective phenomenon and depends on Customers state

    of mind both at the time of purchase and more importantly at the time of

    consumption. It is important because in a large number of cases, some degree of past

    purchase dissonance is evident among Customers. Many companies are aiming athigh satisfaction because customers who are just satisfied find it easy to switch when

    a better offer comes along. Those who are highly satisfied are much less ready to

    switch. Infact, emphasis has shifted from mere satisfaction to delight of customers.

    High satisfaction or delight creates an emotional affinity with the brand and the

    supplier, not just a rational preference. The result is high customer loyalty.

    Satisfied Customers lead to word of mouth publicity. In fact, it can spread

    faster than advertising. Besides, high value products, people may like to go by the

    experience of owners of particular brands. Hence, existing customers, if satisfied can

    be important ambassadors of positive brand image.

    So also feedback from the existing customers can be very rewarding. A

    company may not always be right in whatever it does. A feedback from customers can

    help the company restructure the various components of its marketing mix.

    Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers

    performance in relation to the buyers expectations.

    As the definition makes clear, Satisfaction is a function of perceived

    performance and expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the

    customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is

    satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied

    (or) delighted.

    18

  • 7/28/2019 Kannan Customersat Suzuki Final

    19/74

    How do buyers form their expectations?

    From the past buying experience, friends and associates advice, and

    marketers and competitors information and promises. If marketers raise expectations

    too high, the buyer is likely to be disappointed. For Example, Holiday Inn ran acampaign a few years ago called NO SURPRISES. Yet hotel guests still

    encountered a host of problems, and Holiday Inn had to withdraw the campaign.

    However, if the company sets expectations too low, it wont attract anough buyers

    (although it will satisfy those who do buy).

    Some of Todays most successful companies are raising expectations and

    delivering performances to match. These companies are aiming for TCS TOTAL

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

    The Essence of the modern marketing concept is that all elements of business

    be geared towards the satisfaction of Customers. Praline often referred to as the

    founder of Modern Marketing Research laid great emphasis on the Customer and

    remarked, We may talk as long as we may please about manufacturers, wholesalers

    and retailers, but in the last analysis, the Customer, manufacturers, jobbers and

    retailers. Whoever wins the confidence of the Customer wins the day; and whoever

    loses it, is lost.

    Any product produced needs to be consumed. Therefore the Customer is the

    all-important target of any economic activity and purpose of all service organizations.

    The Customer being the focal point and nerve center for the performance of the

    marketing functions it is essential to satisfy the customers needs.

    According to A.B.GILES, A valid factor in Marketing is to satisfy the

    customer, to leave him with the feeling, after the selling transaction has been

    completed, that the seller has rendered a valuable service which the buyer will be glad

    to use again.

    19

  • 7/28/2019 Kannan Customersat Suzuki Final

    20/74

    The success of the Marketing program depends on the product. Being tailor

    made to fit the final user. In a competitive economy it is the Customer who decides

    the success or failure of business either by buying or not buying a product.

    Con summers at present are well informed and they have wide knowledge of

    the availability of products, their price, quality and performance. They are providing

    with a wider choice of goods and are at liberty to choose from an array of product

    alternatives.

    Marketers aim, is therefore, a thorough understanding of the Customer and his

    needs. The satisfaction of the Customer and needs impact provides a rationale for a

    firms existence.

    Suggestions

    1. Since Suzuki is not the favorite of the youth one suggestion could be to

    enhance the vehicle with more power.

    2. people who opt for Suzuki are mostly from the middle strata of the society. If

    faith in their mind is installed that Suzuki is worth the money spent, many

    more customers can be won.

    3. More rural outlets will take the company more closer to the rural masses

    4. The company can offer a lower priced variant to bridge the price gap.

    5. Braking distance of the vehicle can be further enhanced.

    6. As far as Heal Alloy is concerned the promise on mileage of mileage of 100

    kmpl is not obtainable is the opinion of the people.

    55

    56/74

    Suggestions to Blue Diamond Motors:

    1. More rural sales point would definitely impact sales

    2. A still patient approach in the rural sales point would be advantageous.

    3. After a service is done the explanation regarding the parts in the bill can be

    given to the customer at the time of delivery.

    4. Timely delivery after service will add credibility.

    5. Participation in fairs will increase sales

    6. Enhanced propaganda and public relations will boost the image of SUZUKI

    7. The company can remind people of their service dates

    8. More competitive approach especially in Cuddalore and concentrating more

    on the sale of geared vehicles will take Suzuki to the No.1 position.

    CONCLUSION

    The Suzuki group known for its conservative approach has stood the rough weather

    after departure from its fold. Suzuki has managed to withhold the customers base

    despite a decline. The bikes from the TVS stable have as always been aimed at the

    middle class and this has been the success mantra of the Suzuki group. The right

    combination of power and mileage has taken Suzuki this distance. The Suzuki group

    has been able to successfully identify the indigenous parameters of this particular

    country, another notable feature of the Suzuki group is its adaptability and constant

    innovation to the need of the hour. If this trend continues the day Suzuki is crowned

    the king of bikes the world over is not far away.
