Maruti's Million


3/12

We began our operations way back in 1983, with the Maruti 800 - the vehiclewhich brought about a revolution in the Indian car market.

Today, one in every two cars in India is a product of Maruti Suzuki. Our scale andmanufacturing complexity have today moved to a different league from when it

began. We have reached a capacity of one million cars annual production this year.

This feat is entirely based on the company's constant endeavour to meet aspirations of a large anddiverse demography, by providing the best through innovative products and services.

Today, each car from the Maruti Suzuki factories at Gurgaon, and Manesar, Haryana, North Indiaare the tangible evidence of Quality, manufacturing standards and efficiency.

Maruti Production System or MPS draws learning's from its parent company Suzuki MotorCorporation's concepts on `lean manufacturing' under Suzuki Production System i.e. SPS.

Setting trends in new products and achieving customer delight starts with Manufacturing Excellenceand Maruti's manufacturing excellence hinges around four important pillars-Cost, Quality, Safety andProductivity.

Cost

LEAN MANUFACTURINGemployee working on the line is 'cost sensitive' and functions in capacity of a Cost Manager. He is akey contributor in suggesting how to keep costs of production under control.

Quality

A product of poor quality requires repeated inspections, entails wastage in terms of repairs andreplacements. "Do it right first time", is the principle followed to avoid wastage.

To ensure quality, robots were devices and deployed especially where they reduced worker fatigue andwere critical in delivering consistent quality. With consistent improvements in the plant the companywas able to manufacture over 600,000 vehicles in 2006-07 with an installed capacity of just 350,000vehicles per year.

Safety

"Home or work place; Safety takes First Place". This has beenthe motto of the company where safety is concerned. Marutiattaches great significance to safety of its people and stronglyadvocates that safety at work place adds to quality of the

products and improves productivity of the plant significantly.

In the Japanese manufacturing system, the central role isaccorded, not so much to Quality, Productivity or Cost, but toSafety. When process flow, lay-out and systems are designed formaximum safety, they automatically contribute to better qualityand productivity.

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Production Management System (PMS) is the next step towards moving ahead to sustain the

momentum. It is a strategy to achieve Manufacturing Excellence evolved through

participative approach. The system is people driven and ensures involvement of all levels

(Managers, Executives, and Supervisors).

The concept ensures participation and error free communication. The result is clarity of

content, better understanding and openness towards feedback. These values make PMS a

sustainable system. Having achieved the target of selling a million cars in the financial year

2009 - 2010, PMS has lead the production team towards greater enhanced productivity with

perfection.

MS is derived from the basic Japanese principles of 5S, 3G and 3K

In order to bring an improvement in overall processes and systems in Production Division

through involvement of all levels, PMS was launched in Maruti Suzuki. Through various

phases of PMS the company embarked on its journey of bring in a) Clarity of Role, Non-

duplication of work, Ownership, Commitment and Standardization in all our process and

systems across the production division.

At the injection moulding plant at Manesar, the rejected moulded bumpers are furthergranulated and reprocessed to new bumpers which are in keeping with the concept of the 3R's ( Reduce, Recycle, Reuse).. As a result there is yield improvement of castings, andmouldings

The suppliers are also involved in the yield improvement activities and share our own bestpractices with them for better resource utilization, cost reduction and productivityimprovement. Maruti Suzuki engineers guide them on how to adopt better operating

practices, improve operating efficiency, increase automation, introduce advance controlsystems, minimize scrap and increase capacity utilization.

ENERGYMarui Suzuki owns captive power plants to meet its power requirements. The power generated is also sharedwith JV partners located in the vicinity of the plant.Maruti Suzuki consciously adopts energy efficient technologies at the time of new project planning and

existing equipments are modified to reduce energy consumption.

Some initiatives taken by Maruti Suzuki

Energy Efficient Furnaces in Casting Plant

Maruti Suzuki has installed State of the art energy efficient furnaces at its newly built K-series castingengine plant in Gurgaon. In these furnaces, the waste heat generated from the melting furnace is used to

preheat Aluminum ingots thus improving energy efficiency.

Use of Variable Frequency Drivers in painting Booths has cut down energy consumption

Rationalisation of natural gas input by installation of air fogger in gas turbines

Energy efficient lightings

Down sizing and commonisation of electrical motors

Environment friendly concepts have been integrated not just in the engines but in buildings as well. As in thnew K-series engine casting shop. The shop has practically eliminated the use of electric lights in the shopfloor during day time. Such initiatives conceived of building design have helped in reduction of energyrequirements and GHG emissions.

Similarly, Maruti Suzuki's new corporate office and brand centre at Vasant Kunj are designed considering thgreen building concept and Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC). Following are the main features othe building:

Solar lighting system for landscape and basement lighting,

Energy efficient compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) lighting and fans.

VFD for motors to optimize power consumption.

Double layered glass wall to reduce heat penetration inside the building

Thermal insulation of roof etc.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICESMaruti Suzuki is concerned about the environment and is keenly working towards enhancingthe fuel efficiency and minimizing the CO2 emission of its products.
