Project Outline and Accomplishments:

  1. Optimizing and improving design of 79 parts for cost reduction, customer satisfaction and quality enhancement.

  2. Rs. 612 saved per unit motorcycle (cost reduction) by optimizing designs of various parts.

  3. Rs. 22, Rs. 33, Rs. 36, Rs. 37, Rs. 5 and Rs. 69 saved per unit motorcycle against “Sleeve RR Wheel”, “Head pipe”, “Stay cover”, “Cowl front”, “Stay winker” and “Side covers” respectively by negotiations with vendors. Overall Rs. 1423 saved per unit motorcycle by price negotiations with respective vendors.

  4. Warranty claims reduction from 0.593% to 0.441 % of annual production by improving design of parts. So 34.47% improvement in terms of warranty claims as compared to base model.

  5. Direct pass growth from 87.67% to 91.33 % of annual production. So 4.18% improvement in terms of direct pass as compared to base model.

  6. Tail light Assembly and Rear Fender Assembly jig design and fabrication in coordination with Assembly plant.

  7. Designing and fabrication of “process and inspection fixtures” for stay cover of frame body in coordination with frame body welding plant.

  8. Designing and fabrication of “front cowl” and “side covers” painting jigs in coordination with “ABS paint Plant”.

  9. Designing and supervising training of all manpower of “Frame body welding plant”, “Frame assembly plant” and “Fuel tank painting plant” for all the design change parts and processes.

  10. Successfully conducting and managing all major events (like PP1, PP3 and MP etc) as per guidelines of Honda Motors Japan.

  11. Taking counter-measures and closing all product problems (Hinanhyo’s) raised during PP1 & PP3 and getting it approved from Honda Motors Japan.

  12. Compiling and finalizing SAP based BOM “Bill of material” in coordination of PPC (Production planning department).
