Executive Summary
Yamaha Motor Escorts Limited (YMEL) is a joint venture company formed by the
alliance of Escorts Limited, the flagship company of the Rs. 3600 crores Escorts
Group, a major in the two-wheeler business and Yamaha Motor Company Limited
(YMCL), Japan.
Recently YMEL launched a new bike - Yamaha Crux in December, 2000. My
project was aimed at investigating about the awareness level of Crux from the
owners of the competitive brands. These competitive brand names are Hero
Honda’s Splendor & CD 100/SS and Bajaj’s Caliber. My project also aimed at
determining the primary factors which influence scooter owners to shift from
scooters to motorcycles. My project was restricted to New Delhi only and the sample
size was 250 including 100 for scooter owners and the rest 150 divided equally
among the three competitive brands, that is, Splendor - 50, Caliber - 50 and CD 100/
SS - 50. Questionnaires were made and were filled by the respondents and the data
collected was analyzed to get some useful results.
After analyzing the data, we discovered the primary factors influencing scooter
owners to shift from scooters to motorcycles. The prominent among these factors
were that motorcycles have a better fuel economy, motorcycles are more stylish and
the engine power of motorcycles is more as compared to scooters. We also
discovered that the awareness level of Yamaha Crux was very low and this was
primarily due to lack of advertisements and other promotional activities. Thus, in
the end some recommendations were also given to Yamaha Motor Escorts Limited
so that they could take the required preventive measures.

Introduction
The Escorts Group, with Escorts Limited as its flagship company, is among India's
largest corporations operating in the diverse fields of agri-machinery,
telecommunications, information technology, healthcare, bi-wheelers, construction
& material handling equipment, automotive & railway ancillaries and financial
services. The Group has 19 modern manufacturing facilities & an extensive
marketing network spread across the country. The major global alliances of the
Group include : JCB - UK, Yamaha - Japan, Claas, Mahle and Goetze - Germany,
Carraro - Italy, Long CA, Vistaar & i2 - USA, First Pacific - Hong Kong, IFS -
Sweden and POL-MOT - Poland.
Creation
The genesis of Escorts goes back to 1944 when two brothers, Mr. H. P. Nanda and
Mr. Yudi Nanda, launched a small agency house, Escorts Agents Ltd. in Lahore.
The next 50 years saw Escorts surge ahead and become one of India's largest
conglomerates.
Rajan Nanda (The Legacy of a Vision)
H.P.
Nanda
(1917-99)

7. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
Escorts gauged the need for modernising agriculture and pioneered farm
mechanisation in the country. In 1948 Mr. H.P. Nanda established Escorts Agri -
Machinery Limited, to market tractors and farm implements. It set up the first
dealer network of its kind to market tractors for import purpose. Escorts soon
became the number one tractor selling company in India. Meanwhile, the company
branched into manufacturing piston rings in India in collaboration with GOETZE
WERKE of Germany.
Present Scenario
On assuming the Chairmanship of the Group, in April 1994, Mr. Rajan Nanda,
undertook a major restructuring programme to give sharper focus to the businesses.
This involved building alliances with global players and improving market
capitalization, which resulted in each business becoming an independent entity with
defined partnerships, technology, customers and business economics.
The recent past also witnessed a major shift in Escorts' business focus, when it
broke away from its traditional identity of being a purely engineering company and
made its foray into the service sector of telecom and information technology. The
Group has since re-evaluated its focus with thrust on areas of high growth namely
agri machinery, telecom, software and healthcare. Towards this end, the Group has
recently launched a major initiative in Internet and E-commerce. The remaining
businesses are strategic investments for generating value.

This move reflects our goals of achieving sustainable growth and acquiring
management resources in a focused and proactive manner.
The Yamaha Group will continue to strive to provide satisfaction to our customers

Corporate Citizenship
Products and Services Attuned to People's Needs, in Harmony with the Environment
At Yamaha, we believe that our most fundamental reason for being is to contribute
to the enhancement of the quality of life everywhere we do business. Here are three
of the most important ways we work to achieve that goal.
Making Music Around the World: The Yamaha Music Foundation
Since its creation in 1966, the Yamaha Music Foundation has coordinated an
enormous range of Yamaha corporate endeavors, all dedicated to nurturing and
enhancing the love of music around the world. In addition to our network of
Yamaha Music Schools, now operating in more than 40 countries, we sponsor
concert series and special events that include Junior Original Concerts and the
International Electone Concours/Festival.
Placing Top Priority on Environmental Issues
Recognizing our relationship with the environment as a vital aspect of our corporate
activities, Yamaha is committed to environmental preservation. In 1993, we
formulated our Environmental Action Plan, adopting voluntary management
standards stricter than legally mandated ones. Our numerous environmental
preservation initiatives include the elimination of ozone-depleting substances from
our manufacturing processes, the adoption of energy conservation policies, the
reduction of waste products, and commercialization of environmentally sound
products.
Projectsformba.blogspot.com
59. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
By March 2003, all of our production facilities in Japan and overseas and the
majority of our resort facilities had acquired ISO14001 environmental management
certification, and we are working to extend this certification throughout our
organization.
Yamaha's Global Commitment
Although Yamaha was "born" in Japan, we are today one of the most cosmopolitan
and international companies in our industry, with a network of subsidiaries and
joint ventures in some 20 countries in the Americas, Asia, the Pacific and Europe.
Our manufacturing facilities are spread over 15 locations in seven different
countries. And our products and services are enjoyed by people in virtually every
nation and region on the planet.
At Yamaha, we believe that the love of music is shared by all people. In all our
activities, we are committed to making the world a better, more enjoyable place to
live by enhancing and extending the joys of music to every corner of the globe.
That's why our corporate credo is Creating 'Kando' Together.

Distribution Network
Yamaha Motor Limited has a very systematic and well developed distribution
network. It uses a very simple, Two-way distribution system, to reach out to its
customers which is as follows :
There are two movements involved in the above distribution system :
1. Primary Movement - From the Plant to the Depot
2. Secondary Movement - From the Depot to the Dealer
Its distribution network covers 500 dealers (which consists of 250 main dealers and
other sub-dealers and stockists) through 22 depots spread all over the country. With
such an extensive distribution network, Yamaha Motor Limited is sure to reach
every part of the country.
Working of the Distribution Network
The working of the distribution network is quite easy to understand. Before the
motorcycles leave the plant, they are levied with the excise, after that they are
transported safely to the depots from where they are transported to the retailers
and then finally to the customers.
Special Cases
There are some special cases in which the delivery of the motorcycles is to be
hurried due to increased demand in a short span of time. Here the distribution
network, which is followed, is as follows:
Projectsformba.blogspot.com
64. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
Over a span of few decades, Yamaha has developed a sound and efficient
distribution system by building good and healthy relations with the depot incharges
and the retailers. Yamaha also provides the necessary incentives to the depots and
the dealers when required.
Benefits from summer training at yamaha motors limited
Summer training in Yamaha Motor Limited was my first step into the corporate
world. It was a great learning experience for me and helped me to a great extent in
acquiring skills that are essential for working in an organisation. This exposure also
helped me in improving my interpersonal and communication skills. I have now
understood the importance of discipline in life and strongly feel that to be successful
in life, one has to be disciplined and focused.
The training proved to be very beneficial for me as it helped me in inculcating
various skills which are as follows:
Team Working
The work environment at Yamaha Motor Escorts Limited gave me an opportunity
to explore my team working skills and gave me a better understanding of how to
work in co-ordination with my colleagues as a team which is a pre-requisite for any
successful corporate house.
Communication Skills
There was a lot of interaction with all types of people working in the organization.
These people included my colleagues, my project guide and other employees. This
helped in improving my interpersonal skills as I learnt to put forward my ideas and
Projectsformba.blogspot.com
65. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
suggestions using the right words and phrases. For the collection of the primary
information on motorcycle segment, I had to communicate with the dealers which
improved my verbal skills. For getting the questionnaires filled by the respondents,
sometimes I had to interact with them in the local language.
After the completion of the project, I submitted a formal report to Yamaha Motor
Escorts Limited, which improved my writing skills.
Time Management
“Waste of time is a waste of money”. I realized the importance of this phrase during
my one and a half months of summer training. The organization environment,
which I was exposed to, enhanced my time sensitivity and taught me how useful it is
to manage your time and finish the work assigned in time. Regular going to
workplace and reporting on time helped me use my time in the most efficient
manner.
Data Analyzing Skills
The data collected by me through questionnaires had to be analysed and put in a
desired manner. I was required to present the data in the form of diagrams
including pie charts, bar diagrams, multiple bar diagrams, which greatly helped me
enhance my analytical skills.
Computer Skills
In the course of my training, I got an opportunity to work on different computer
programs like MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, etc., which helped me improve my
knowledge about computers. Also for the collection of some primary data, I had to
surf the net, whereby I learnt to work my way around the net.

Decision-Making Skills
As I was given the authority to frame the questionnaires, some important decisions
regarding the framework of questionnaires had to be taken by me. This made me
realize that decision-making is an integral part at every level in the corporate
hierarchy and helped me to take quicker and wiser decisions.
Listening Skills
I also developed very good listening skills during my summer training project. I had
to be very attentive while listening to the instructions given by my project guide. I
also learnt the art of listening to other people’s suggestions and taking them into
account.
Personality Development
Above all the skills that I have acquired working at Yamaha Motor Escorts Limited,
the most important is the overall development in my personality. I learnt how to be
patient and tolerant towards the varied moods of the respondents. Taking decisions
and handling responsibilities boosted my self-confidence. The encouragement and
continuous support of my superiors and colleagues made me more determined and
motivated towards my work, inspite of the difficulties faced by me at every step.
Scope for Improvement
I feel that there is still a lot of scope for improvement in my personality and my
interpersonal skills. I should learn more on the art of interacting with people.
I would like to conclude by saying that my summer training experience helped me in
preparing for my future pursuits and encouraged me to believe in my abilities. The
Projectsformba.blogspot.com
67. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
constant encouragement by my superiors motivated me to do the best and helped
me to look at every obstacle as a springboard to success.

Competitors Key Players
The key players in the motorcycle segment are as follows :
The motorcycle majors - Hero Honda, Yamaha Motor Ltd., TVS -Suzuki &
Kawasaki Bajaj dominate the industry. These players account for about 92% of the
total motorcycle sales. These four players cover both categories of motorcycles, the 2
- stroke and the 4 - stroke models. Hero Honda and Kawasaki Bajaj industries are
involved in the production of 4-stroke models only. TVS - Suzuki is providing only 2
- stroke models. Whereas Yamaha Motor Ltd. is the only group to produce both 2
-stroke and 4 - stroke models.
In present scenario, the Hero Honda group is the market leader in motorbike
industry. They are producing models which are highly appreciated by the customers
and match with the market demand and requirements.

Low sales of Yamaha crux
An ambitious target of doubling sales this year to three lakh motorcycles
The Yamaha Crux made a very quiet and unannounced entry, without much
fanfare as a first taste of Japanese strategy after Yamaha took 100% control over
the joint venture with Escorts. The bike therefore does not carry the latter name.
Obviously they felt that price alone was the sole criterion. At almost 9,000 rupees
less than their earlier offering –the YBX, there is some sense in this and the Crux
has crossed in 2 months the sales figure of the YBX, even without any advertising.

Functions Of The Various Departments In Yamaha Motor Limited
To understand the working of the complete plant, one has to know the working of
each department.
Functions have been divided into five important departments:
• Manufacturing Operations
• Marketing
• Product Engineering
• Finance
• Project
Manufacturing Operations
The group comprises of manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering,
planning and control, material, manufacturing, quality control and inspection, plant
engineering/maintenance, personnel, administration & finance.
Manufacturing Engineering
Manufacturing engineering comprises of process engineering, project planning , tool
room, tool maintenance, CNC machines and tooling S.P.M capital budgeting.
Usefulness Of The Project
The project carried out by me proved to be very beneficial. The parties which got
the benefits include :
Projectsformba.blogspot.com
82. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
Yamaha Motor limited
• We were able to identify the lack of awareness about Yamaha Crux. This would
certainly help Yamaha in framing its future promotional policies.
• The weaknesses and the threats, which Yamaha Crux is facing were also
identified in the SWOT Analysis. This would help YML in taking some
preventive measures.
• In the SWOT Analysis, some important opportunities were identified. This
would help YML as it could make use of these opportunities.
Customers
• Through the market survey, we were able to identify the reasons why people did
not like Crux. So this would invariably help the customers because they will get
a product, which suits their taste.
• With more promotional activities as suggested by me, the customers will be able
to identify the product.
Stakeholders
• With the increase in the awareness level of Yamaha Crux, more and more people
will buy it, thereby increasing the profits of the company, which will directly
benefit the shareholders.
Distributors
• They will now get more incentives than before.
• If the profit of the company increases, their profit will also increase.

Limitations
Although the research work carried out was successful, but there were some
limitations, which are as follows:
• Duration for the training was short.
• Respondents might not have given the correct information.
• The sample area was concentrated to New Delhi only and other cities could not
be covered due to lack of time.
• The sample size of the research was very small, which may have given some
wrong picture.

Conclusion (Switch Over Trends)
In the scooter market, our main objective was to find out the number of customers
who want to shift from scooters to motorcycles.
Analyzing the market survey, we concluded that:
34% of the scooter owners plan to buy a motorcycle in the future. Out of these 34%
customers:
33% customers want to buy within 1 year
33% customers want to buy after 1 year
19% customers want to buy within 6 months
10% customers want to buy within 3 months
5% customers want to buy within 1 month
66% of the scooter owners do not plan to buy a motorcycle in future. From these
66% customers, we enquired about the awareness of Yamaha Crux and the results
were as follows:
65% customers do not know about Yamaha Crux
35% customers know about Yamaha Crux

Recommendations
However the company implemented the change process effectively, but there were
still some weaknesses. So, I would recommend some ideas, which the company could
have implemented for a successful change process and I will also give some
recommendations on future measures, which the company can take to bring about
effective change. These are as follows:
• YMI went for the installation of new machinery to cope up with the
technological changes. Instead of installing the new machinery, they could have
got the old machinery upgraded. This would have saved a lot of extra cost
incurred.
• YMI must respond to changes in its environment quickly. When competitors
introduce new products or services, government agencies enact new laws,
important sources of supply go out of business, or similar environmental
changes take place, YMI should respond quickly and should make plans to
implement changes so as to bring about an effective and a planned change
process. This type of a change process will ensure less resistance from the
employees.
• YMI must try to build good relations between employees in the organization, as
the people working in the organization are a mixture of Japanese and Indians,
which are totally different cultures. So maximum co-ordination between the
Indians and the Japanese employees should be forced so as to improve the
overall efficiency of the employees.
Projectsformba.blogspot.com
89. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
• To improve the working environment within the organization, YMI should
organize cultural programmers so as to get the Japanese and the Indian culture
together. This would fill up the cultural gaps between employees in the
organization and they would respect each other’s cultures, which in turn is good
for a bright future of the company.
• They should do advertising of the Yamaha crux, as when this bike was
introduced there was no publicity at all so, I recommend there should high
level publicity so that it create awareness in the market. As awareness will
create demand automatically.
