CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION1.1. OVERVIEW - INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRYOver a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobileindustry has been driving its own growth through phases. The entryof Suzuki Corporation in Indian passenger car manufacturing isoften pointed as the first sign of India turning to a marketeconomy. Since then the automobile sector witnessed rapid growthyear after year. By late-90's the industry reached self reliance inengine and component manufacturing from the status of largescale importer.With comparatively higher rate of economic growth rate indexagainst that of great global powers, India has become a hub of

domestic and exports business. The automobile sector has beencontributing its share to the shining economic performance of Indiain the recent years.With the Indian middle class earning higher per capita income, morepeople are ready to own private vehicles including cars and two-wheelers. Product movements and manned services have boosted inthe sales of medium and sized commercial vehicles for passenger andgoods transport. Side by side with fresh vehicle sales growth, theautomotive components sector has witnessed big growth. The domesticauto components consumption has crossed rupees 9000 crores and anexport of one half size of this figureOverview Of Automobile IndustryThe Indian automobile industry is going through a technologicalchange where each firm is engaged in changing its processes andtechnologies to sustain the competitive advantage and provide

Moreover,

the automobile companies are coming up with financial schemessuch as easy EMI repayment systems to boost sales.There have been exhibitions like Auto-expo at Pragati Maidan, NewDelhi to share the technological advancements. Besides, there aremany new projects coming up in the automobile industry leading tothe growth of the sector.The Government of India has liberalized the foreign exchange andequity regulations and has also reduced the tariff on imports,contributing significantly to the growth of the sector.

1.2. History of the OrganizationHISTORY------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yamaha's history goes back over a hundred years to 1887 whenTorakusu Yamaha founded the company, which began producingreed organs. The Yamaha Corporation in Japan (then Nippon GakkiCo., Ltd.) has grown to become the world's largest manufacturer of

Page 12: Project Report on Yamaha

a full line of musical instruments, and a leading producer ofaudio/visual products, semiconductors and other computer relatedproducts, sporting goods, home appliances and furniture, specialtymetals, machine tools, and industrial robots.The Yamaha Motor Corporation, Ltd., begun on July 1, 1955, is amajor part of the entire Yamaha group, but is a separatelymanaged business entity from the Yamaha Corporation. TheYamaha Motor Corporation is the second largest manufacturer ofmotorcycles in the world. Yamaha Motor Corporation owns itswholly-owned subsidiary in the U.S. called Yamaha MotorCorporation, USA, that is handling not only motorcycles, but alsosnow mobiles, golf carts, outboard engines, and water vehicles,under the brand name of Yamaha as well.In 1954 production of the first motorcycles began, a simple 125cc

Page 13: Project Report on Yamaha

single-cylinder two-stroke. It was a copy of the German DKWdesign, which the British BSA Company had also copied in thepost-war era and manufactured as the Bantam.The first Yamaha, the YAI, known to Japanese enthusiasts asAkatombo, the "Red Dragonfly", established a reputation as a wellbuiltand reliable machine. Racing successes helped boost itspopularity and a second machine, the 175cc YCI was soon inproduction.The first Yamaha-designed motorcycle was the twin-cylinder YDIproduced in 1957. The racing version, producing 20bhp, won theMount Asama race that year. Production was still modest at 15,811motorcycles, far less than Honda or Suzuki.The company grew rapidly over the next three years and in 1959introduced the first sports model to be offered by a Japanese

Page 14: Project Report on Yamaha

factory, the twin-cylinder YDSI with five-speed gearbox. Ownerswho wanted to compete in road racing or motocross could buy kitsto convert the machine for both road and motocross racing.By 1960 production had increased 600% to 138,000 motorcycles. InJapan a period of recession followed during which Yamaha, and theother major Japanese manufacturers, increased their exports so thatthey would not be so dependent on the home market.To help boost export sales, Yamaha sent a team to theEuropean Grand Prix in 1961, but it was not until the 1963 seasonthat results were achieved.After the Korean War the American economy was booming andJapanese exports were increasing. In 1962 Yamaha exported 12,000motorcycles. The next year it was 36,000 and in 1964 productionrose to 87,000.

Page 15: Project Report on Yamaha

In 1963 Yamaha had produced a small batch of 250CC roadracing motorcycles for sale, the air-cooled, twin-cylinder TDI. Eversince then Yamaha has built and sold motorcycles that could beraced successfully "straight out of the crate", and as aconsequence Yamaha machines have won more road races thanany other make, exposing Yamaha to a good deal of publicity.1965 244,000 By production was units, split about 50/50 betweenhome and export sales. One of the biggest drawbacks to the salesof two-strokes was that the rider had to mix oil with their gas.Yamaha technicians accomplished a major technical feat by thedevelopment and introduction of a new Autolube system.Basically an oil tank that fed lubricant to a pump that meteredoil to the big ends, main bearings and cylinder barrels. It proved

Page 16: Project Report on Yamaha

very reliable and did away with mixing oil and gas at every fill up.The first overseas factory was opened in Siam in 1966 to supplySoutheast Asia. In 1967 Yamaha production surpassed that of Suzukiby 4,000 at 406,000 units. Yamaha established a lead with theintroduction of the first true trail bike "the 250cc single-cylinderDTI". The company also developed a two-liter, six-cylinder, doubleoverhead-camshaft sports car unit for Toyota Motor. This provedhelpful when Yamaha produced their own high-performance fourstrokemotorcycles.In 1969 Yamaha built a full size road racingcircuit near their main factory at Iwata.By 1970 the number of models had expanded to 20 ranging from50cc to 350cc, with production up to 574,000 machines, 60% of whichwere for export. That year Yamaha broke their two-stroke traditionby launching their first four-stroke motorcycle, the 650cc XSI

Page 17: Project Report on Yamaha

vertical twin modeled on the famous Triumph twins.In 1973 production topped one million (1,000,000) motorcycles peryear for the first time, leaving Suzuki way behind at 642,000 andcatching up on Honda's 1,836,000. During the 1970's Yamahatechnicians concentrated on development of four-stroke modelsthat were designed to pass the ever-increasing exhaust emissionlaws and to be more economical than the two-strokes that hadmade Yamaha's fortune.Over the years Yamaha produced some less successfulmotorcycles:The TX750 twin of 1972.The TX500 double overhead-camshaft, four-valve per cylinder,twin of 1973.The XS750 shaft-drive, double overhead-camshaft, threecylinder of 1976.And the XS Eleven, four-cylinder of 1977, was at the time the

Page 18: Project Report on Yamaha

biggest bike produced by a Japanese manufacturer.Other four-strokes were more successful, notably.The XT500 single-cylinder trail bike of 1976.And the XS350 single overhead-camshaft, twin.In the 70's the RD twin cylinder sports models were a big successas well as the RD250LC and RD350LC water-cooled versions thatreplaced them in the eighties which were based on the famous TZrace bikes.Production in 1980 was 2,214,000, with export sales of 1,383,000. Inthe 1980's the company introduced the compact XJ four cylindermodels, ranging from 550cc to 1100cc. Not wanting to miss anythingthe company also introduced the 750cc and 1000cc air-cooled Vtwinmodels followed by the XZ550 water-cooled, mid-weight sportsbike.Yamaha motor vehicles:Two wheelers
