    INTRODUCTION

    The concept of the word wheel is not of recent origin. Right form the dayswhen man started his living, to this day where there is tremendous technologicalimprovement, the importance of wheel is growing at a greater pace.

    A growing economy, expanding cities and an increasing work load demandtime and resource management. Right from the executive to a collage going student,there is a need for a set of wheels, which grant him/her easy mobility not only, whichis efficient and reliable but also affordable.

    A four-wheeler is and affordable solution that will grant good mobility. To

    satisfy the needs of the consume, a large number of companies have come up with agood number of vehicle. In this aspect it is rather essential for any buyer to know thefiner parts, which give4s a good look, the performance, the driving, handling,reliability, and above all, the affordability of a particular vehicle, before he owns it.Most manufactures have understood this, and therefore developed different kinks ofcars.

    As there are different kinds of consumers existing in each market for every product, there is a need produce a wide range of products to satisfy all thesecustomers.

    This classification was made on the grounds of better mileage, oilconsumption, pollution factors etc.

    As we all know, for any organization to survive, in this highly competitiveworld. It should take cadre of customers who are the backbone of it. To make itsservices available to everyone Tata moters also have so many dealers in various

    places. It is offering its valuable services to the people of Nellore district through oneof its dealers M.G. Brothers. Hence we felt the need of knowing about Customersatisfaction on the products of Tata moters and the services of M.G. Brothers, in our

    study.

    INDUSTRY PROFILE

    The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor.The history of the automobile reflects an evolution that took place worldwide. It isestimated that over 100,000 patents created the modern automobile.

    However, we can point to the many first that occurred along the way. Starting with thefirst theoretical plans for a motor vehicle that had been drawn up by both Leonardo daVinci and Isaac Newton.

    In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented byFrench engineer and mechanic, Nicolas joseph Cugnot (1725 1804). Cugnot used asteam engine to power his instructions at the paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It wasused by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 mph on only

    three wheels. The vehicle has to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steampower. The steam engine and boiler were separate form the rest of the vehicle andplaced in the front. The following year (1770), Cugnot built a steam-powered tricyclecarried four passengers.

    In 1771, Cugnot drove one of his road vehicles into a stone wall, makingCugnot the first person to get into a motor vehicle accident. This was the beginning of

    bad luck for the inventor. After one of Cugnots patrons died and the other was exiled,the money for Cugnots road vehicle experiments ended

    Steam engines powered cars by burning fuel that heated water in a boiler,creating steam that expanded and pushed pistons that turned the crankshaft, whichthen turned the wheels. During the early history of self-propelled vehicles-both roadand railroad vehicles were being developed with steam engines. (Cugnot also designedtwo steam locomotives that they proved a poor design road vehicles; however, steamengines were very successfully used in locomotives. Historians, who accept that earlysteam-powered road vehicles were automobiles, feel that Nicolas Cugnot was theinventor of the first automobile.

    After Cugnot Several Other Inventors Designed Steam-Powered Road

    Vehicles

    Cugnots vehicle was imporved by Frenchman, Onesiphore Pecqueur, who alsoinvented the first differential gear, improved Cugnots vehicle.

    In 1789, the first U.S. patent for a steam-powered land vehicle was granted toOliver Evans.

    In 1801, Richard Trevithick built a road carriage powered by steam-the first inGreat Britain.

    In Britain, form 1820 to 1840, steam-powered stagecoaches were in regularservice. These were later banned from public roads and Britains railroad system.

    Steam-driven road tractors (built by Charles Deitz) pulled passenger carriagesaround Paris and Bordeaux up to 1850.

    In the United States, numerous steam coaches were built from 1860 to 1880.Inventors included. Harrison Dyer, Joseph Dixon, Rufus Porter, and WilliamT.James.

    Amedee Bollee Sr. built advanced steam cars form 1873 to 1883. TheLa Mnacelle built in 1878, had a front-mounted engine, shaft drive to hedifferential, chain drive to the rear wheels, steering wheel on a vertical shaft anddrivers seat behind the engine. The boiler was carried behind the passengercompartment.

    In1871, Dr.J.W. Carhart, professor of physics at Wisconsin State University, andthe J.I. Case Company built a working steam car that won a 200-mile race.

    Early Electric Cars

    Steam engines were not the only engines used in early automobiles. Vehicles withelectrical engines were also invented. Between 1832 and 1839 (the exact year isuncertain), Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first electric motor. The vehicleswere heavy, slow, expensive, and needed to stop for recharging frequently. Electricityfound greater success in tramways and streetcars, where a constant supply ofelectricity was possible.Around 1900, electric land vehicles in America outsold all other type of cars. Then inthe several years following 1900, sales of electric vehicles took a nosedive as newtype of vehicle came to dominate the consumer market.

    History of the Internal Combustion Engine The Heart of the Automobile

    An internal combustion engine is any that uses the explosive combustion of fuel topush a piston within a cylinder the pistons movement turns crankshaft that thenturns the car wheels via a chain or a drive shaft. The different types of fuel commonlyused for car combustion engines are gasoline (or petrol), diesel, and kerosene.A brief outline of the history of the internal combustion engine includes the followinghighlights.

    1680 - Dutch physicist, Christian Huygeness designed (but never built) an internalcombustion engine that was be fueled with gunpowder.

    1807 - Francois Isaac de Rivaz of Swizerland invented an internal combustionengine that used a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. Rivaz designed a carfor his engine the first internal combustion powered automobile. However, thiswas a very unsuccessful vehicle.

    1824 - English engineer, Sumuel Brown adapted an old Newcomen steam engineto burn gas, and he used it to briefly power a vehicle up Shooters Hill in London.

    1858 - Belgian born engineer, jean joseph Etienne Lenoir invented and patented(1860) a double-acting, electric spark-ignition internal combustion engine fueled

    by coal gas. In 1863, Lenoir attached an improved engine (using petroleum and a primitive carburetor) to a three-wheeled wagon that managed to complete anhistoric fifty-mile road trip. (See image at top)

    1862 - Alphonse Beau de Rochas, a French civil engineer, patentee but did notbuild a foru-stroke engine (French patent #52, 593, January 16, 1862).

    1864 Austrian engineer Siegfried Marcus*, built a one-cylinder engine with acrude carburetor, and attached his engine to a cart for a rocky 500-foot drive. Itwas the worlds first gasoline-powered vehicle. Several year later, Marcus wasable to design a vehicle that briefly ran at 10 mph that some historians considerwas the forerunner of the modern automobile.

    1873 George Brayton, an American engineer, developed an unsuccessful two-stroke kerosene engine (it used two external pumping cylinders). However, it wasconsidered that first safe and practical oil engine.

    1866 German engineers, Eugen Langen and Nikolaus August Otto improved onLenoirs and de Rochas designs and invented a more efficient gas engine.

    1876 Nikolaus August Otto invented and later patented a successful four strokeengine, known as the Otto Cycle.

    1876 The first successful two-stroke engine was invented by Sir Dougald Clerk. 1883 French engineer, Edouard Delamare Debouteville, built a single-cylinderfour-stroke engine that ran on stove gas. It is not certain if he did indeed build acar, however, Delamare-Deboutevilles designs were very advances for the time ahead of both Daimler and Benz in some ways at least on paper.

    1885 Gottlieb Daimler invented what is often recognized as the prototype of themodern gas engine with a vertical cylinder, and with gasoline injected through acarburetor (patented in 1887). Daimler first built a two-wheeled vehicle theReitwagen (Riding Carriage) with this engine and a year later built the worldsfirst four-wheeled motor vehicle.

    1886 On January 29, Karl Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for agas-fueled car.

    1889 Daimler built an improved four-stroke engine with mushroom-shapedvalves and two V-slant cylinders.

    1890 Wilhelm Maybach built the first four cylinder, four stroke engine.

    Engine design and car design were integral activities, almost all of the enginedesigners mentioned above also designed cars, and a few went on to become majormanufactures of automobiles.

    Hailed as the industry of industries by Peter Drucker, the founding father of thestudy of management, in 1946, the automobile industry had evolved continuously withchanging times from craft production in 1890s to mass production in 1910s to lean

    production techniques in the 1970s.

    The automotive industry in India grew at a computed annual growth rate (CAGR) of11.5 percent over the past five years, the Economic Survey 2008-09 tabled in

    parliament on 2nd July09 said.

    The industry has a strong multiplier effect on the economy due to its deep forward and

    backward linkages with several key segments of the economy, a finance ministrystatement said.

    The automobile industry, which was plagued by the economic downturn amidst acredit crisis, managed a growth of 0.7 percent in 2008-09 with passenger car salesregistering 1.31 percent growth while the commercial vehicles segment slumped 21.7

    percent.

    Indian automobile industry has come a long way to from the era of the Ambassadorcar to Maruti 800 to latest M&M Xylo. The industry is highly competitive with anumber of global and Indian companies present today. It is projected to be the thirdlargest auto industry by 2030 and just behind to US & China, according to a report.The industry is estimated to be a US$ 34 billion industry.

    Indian Automobile industry can be divided into three segments i.e. two wheeler, threewheeler & four wheeler segment. The domestic two-wheeler market is dominated byIndian as well as foreign players such as Hero Honda, Bajaj Auto, Honda Motors,TVS Motors, and Suzuki etc. Maruti Udyog and Tata Motors are the leading

    passenger car manufacturers in the country. AndIndia is considered as strategic market by Suzuki, Yamaha, etc. Commercial Vehiclemarket is catered by players like Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Volvo, Force Motors,Eicher Motors etc. The major players have not left any stone unturned to be global.Major of the players have got into the merger activities with their foreign counterparts.Like Maruti with Suzuki, Hero with Honda, Tata with Fiat, Mahindra with Renault,Force Motors with Mann.

    Some of the early events and milestones in the car industry in India. 1928 The first imported car on the Indian roads.

    1942 Hindustan Motors incorporated.

    1944 Premier Automobiles started.

    1948 First car manufactured in India.

    1953 The Govt. of India decreed that only those firms which have amanufacturing program should be allowed to operate.

    1955 Only 7 firms HM, API, SMPL, PAL, M & M, and TELCO receivedapproval.

    Key Facts about Indias automobile industry:

    India ranks 12th in the list of the worlds top 15 automakers.

    Entry of more international players.

    Contributes 5% to the GDP.

    Production of four wheelers in India has increased from 9.3 lakh units in 2002-

    03 to 23 lakh units in 2007-08.

    Targeted to be of $ 145 Billion by 2016.

  • 8/4/2019 51071747 Customer Satisfaction Towards Thetata Motor Service Four Wheeler Tata Motor Service Four Wheeler

    12/47

    Exports increased from 84,000 units in 2002-03 to 280,000 units in 2007-08

    The Liberalization in 1990 in India opened the doors for the entry of foreign productsinto the market. This made the market a consumer market with a lot of choices for theconsumers. The future of the products depends on the consumers satisfaction. The

    products, which are able to attract the consumers, are having a bright future and theothers are lost in the competition. So it is very important to know the pulse of thecustomers. The business people should always have correct information regarding thesatisfaction level in the customers. Different ways are to be implemented to increasethe satisfaction level in the customers.

    CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

    Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offers performance inrelation to the buyers expectations. In general.

    Satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure resulting from comparing a productsperceived performance (or outcome) in relation to his or her expectations.

    As this definition makes clear, satisfaction is a function of perceived performance andexpectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is

    dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. Ifthe performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

    Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are justsatisfied still find it easy to switch when a better comes along. Those who are highlysatisfied are much less ready to switch. High satisfaction are delight creates andemotional bond with the brand, not necessary a rational preference. The result is highcustomer loyalty.

    From past buying experience, friend and associates advice and marketers and

    competitors information and promises buyers form their expectations. Some oftodays most successful companies are raising expectations and delivering

    performance to match. These companies are aiming for TCS-total customersatisfaction. The key to generating high customer loyalty is to deliver high customervalue.

    In addition to tracking customer value expectation and satisfaction, companies needto monitor their competitors performance in these areas. For example, a company was

    pleased to find that 80 percent of it customers said they were satisfied. Then the CEOfound out that its leading competitors attained a 90 percent customer satisfactionscore. He was further dismayed when he learned that this competitors was aiming toreach a 95 percent satisfaction score.Tools for Tracking and measuring customer satisfaction

    Complaint andsuggestionssystems

    A customer-centered organization makes it easy for itscustomers to deliver suggestions and complaints. Manyrestaurants and hotels provide forms for guests to report likesand dislikes. Some customer-centered companies P&G,General Electric, Whirlpool establish hot lines with tool-free 800 telephone numbers. Companies are also adding web

    pages and email to facilitate two-way communication,. Theinformation flows provide companies with many good ideasand enable them to act quickly to resolve problems.

    CustomerSatisfactionsurveys

    Studies show that although customer are dissatisfied with oneout of every four purchases, less than 5 percent of dissatisfiedcustomers will complain. Most customers will buy less orswitch suppliers. Complaint levels are thu8s not a goodmeasure of customer satisfaction. Responsive companies

    measure of customer satisfaction directly by conducting periodic surveys,. They send questionnaires or maketelephone calls to a random sample of recent customers. Thealso solicit buyers views on their competitors performances.

    While collecting customer satisfaction data, it is also useful toask additional questions to measure repurchased intention;this will normally be high if the customers satisfaction ishigh. It is also useful to measure the likelihood or willingnessto recommend the company and brand to others. A high

    positive word-of-mouth score indicates that the company isproducing high customer satisfaction.

    Ghostshopping

    Companies Can Hire Persons To Pose As Potential Buyers ToReport On Strong And Weak Points Experienced In BuyingThe Companies And Competitors Products. These mysteryshoppers can even these whether the companys sales

    personnel handle various situations well. Thus, a mysteryshopper can complain about a restaurants food to test howthe restaurant handles this complaint. Not only shouldcompanies hire mystery shoppers but managers themselves

    should leave their offices from time to time, enter companyand competitors sales situations where they are unknown, andexperience first hand the treatment they receive ascustomers. A variant of this is for managers to phone theirown company with questions and complaints to see how thecalls are handled.

    Lost customeranalysis

    Companies should contract customers who have stoppedbuying or who have switched to another supplier to learn whythis happened. When IBM loses a customer, it mounts a

  • 8/4/2019 51071747 Customer Satisfaction Towards Thetata Motor Service Four Wheeler Tata Motor Service Four Wheeler

    22/47

    thorough effort to learn where it failed. Not only is itimportant to conduct exit interviews when customers first stop

    buying, it is also necessary to monitor the customer loss rate.If it is increasing this clearly indicates that the company isfailing to satisfy customers.

    For customer-centered companies, customers satisfaction is both a goal and amarketing tool. Companies that achieve high customer satisfaction ratings make surethat their target market knows it.

    When customers rate their satisfaction with an element of the companys performance-say, delivery-the company needs to recognize that customers vary inhow they define good delivery. It could mean early delivery, on-time delivery, ordercompleteness, and so on. Yet if the company had to spell out every element in detail,

    customers would face a huge questionnaire. The company must also realize that twocustomers can report being highly satisfied for different reasons. One may be easilysatisfied most of the time and the other might be hard to please but was pleased on thisoccasion.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    INTRODUCTION :

    The first and foremost step in the research process consists of problem identification.

    One the problem is defined, the next is the research design becomes easier. The

    research design is the basic framework, which provides guideline for the rest of the

  • 8/4/2019 51071747 Customer Satisfaction Towards Thetata Motor Service Four Wheeler Tata Motor Service Four Wheeler

    26/47

    research process. The research design specifies the methods of data collection and

    analysis.

    I. Collection of Primary Data:

    Communication and observation are the two basic means used by me for collecting

    primary data. Communication involves questioning the respondents to secure the

    desired information by using data collection instrument called Questionnaire. The

    questionnaire used in my study is consisting of closed-end questions and one open

    ended question.

    Closed-end questions:

    Fixed alternative questions are used in the questionnaire. This consists of

    A. Dichotomous Questions: The respondent is given a choice between only

    two alternatives.

    B. Multiple-choice Questions: The respondents are given a set of

    alternatives to answer.

    Open-ended question:

    The customers are asked to give suggestions to improve the service in the form

    of open-ended question at the end of the questionnaire.

    II. Collection of Secondary Data:

    Internal and external secondary data is collected for the purpose of study. Internal

    secondary data is collected within the company. This data includes company records,

    previous research reports and other relevant information.

    External secondary data is generated from outside. This data includes publications,

    government records and Internet etc.

    III. Sampling Procedure:

    Sample Size: 100

    Sampling Procedure: Simple random sampling approach has been

    adopted.

    IV. Mode of communication:

    There arethree different methods of communications used by me.

    1. Personal interview

    2. Telephone interview

    3. Mail interview

    Among the three personal interview is the most versatile and flexible mode of

    communication. So the personal interview was more frequently for the study.

    Statistical analysis:

    Data analysis and interpretation are necessary ingredients to make the primary

    data obtained useful for tacking effective strategic moves. The primary data, which

    has been collected by survey using a structural questionnaire, has been systematically

    organized, tabulated and edited, so as to properly analyze and achieve the objectives.

    make cause more trouble in the future. So the problems need to be identified and

    solved immediately. Some of the main things are as follows.
