About the Project
About the Tata Nano-
29
The Tata Nano is a city car manufactured by Tata Motors. One of the smallest as well as lowest powered (35 PS (26 kW)) cars in the world, it was designed to be the cheapest car in India aimed mainly at the lowest price segment in the Indian domestic market.[5]
The Nano sold in India is a 624cc, rear-engine (for a less complex and hence cheaper transmission), manual transmission, four-passenger, four-door car. The car lacks power steering and safety features like air-bags and ABS.
The car was launched in the Indian market in March, 2009. With a pre-launch price offer of 100,000 (US$ 2100). Among other reasons, new emission regulation forced Tata to refine the engine with a higher price tag.
History of Tata Nano –
Seeing an opportunity in the great number of Indian families with two-wheeled rather than four-wheeled vehicles, Tata Motors began development of an affordable car in 2003. The purchase price of this no frills auto was brought down by dispensing with most nonessential features, reducing the amount of steel used in its construction, and relying on low-cost Indian labour.
The introduction of the Nano received much media attention due to its low price and the car was available to buy throughout India in early 2011.
The Nano's development was foreshadowed by the 2005 success of the affordable, 4-wheeled Tata Ace truck.
Expectation of Tata Nano -
In 2008 the Financial Times reported: "If ever there were a symbol of India’s ambitions to become a modern nation, it would surely be the Nano, the tiny car with the even tinier price-tag. A triumph of homegrown engineering, the Nano encapsulates the dream of millions of Indians groping for a shot at urban prosperity. Homegrown engineering" is a relative term here as many of the systems and parts used in the Nano may not have been developed or produced in India.
Many have had great expectations for this small car, some perhaps going a bit too far. One study, by Indian rating agency CRISIL, thought the Nano would expand the nation's car market by 65%. It was also anticipated that the 2009 launch of the car would greatly affect the used-car market, with prices dropping 25-30% in the lead up to the launch. However, due to limited supply (customers had a waiting period of up to one year) used-car prices reverted to their
30
former figures.
Sales of new Suzuki Alto-based Maruti 800s (considered the Nano's nearest competitor) dropped by 20%, and used ones by 30% immediately following the unveiling of the Nano. As Autocar journalist Mark Rainford summarizes: “People are asking themselves—and us—why they should pay, say, 250,000 Rupees for a Maruti Alto, when they can wait and get a brand new Nano for less in a few months’ time, a car that is actually bigger.
Cost Cutting Features of Tata Nano –
The Nano's design implements many cost-reducing measures.
The Nano's trunk is only accessible from inside the car, as the rear hatch does not open One windscreen wiper instead of the usual pairNo power steering, unnecessary due to its light weightThree lug nuts on the wheels instead of the usual fourOnly one wing mirrorRadio or CD player is optionalNo airbags on any model. 624cc rear engine has only 2 cylindersNo air conditioning in base model

(1) Guidelines for conducting Brainstorming –
Guidelines for conducting Brainstorming in a structured manner –
Keep the participants, preferably, between six to ten.Give required time for incubation.Make it very clear to all the participants on what subject the Brainstorming is done.Enter the points on Black Broadly Flip Chart or in a Transparency for all to see.Explain the guidelines.One idea only at a time. Contribution in turn.You may pass.Clarify the point but don’t explain the ideas.No criticism.If session losses grip, have a break or change.To bring creativity use five Ws and one H (When, Where, What, Who And Why and How)Get maximum number or ideas.Clarify each rule.Agree on an evaluation criteria.
(2) Guidelines for Data Collection –
Useful points for Data Collection –
41
Be clear in mind about the objective.Prepare the question which will make it clear and precise.Collect data relevant to that.Use data sheet, check sheet and/or check list as per the requirement.Keep them simple and easy.Reduce opportunities for error.Capture data for analysis, reference and traceability.Form should be self explanatory.Analyze the collected data for its creditability and relevance.Present data in a way that clearly answer the questions.
(3) Guidelines of Cause and Effect Diagram –
How to use Cause and Effect Diagram –Preparing itself is an education process.It can be used as a guide for discussion.You can use it to find out reasons behind the causes in a systematic manner.A detailed Cause and Effect Diagram making exercise helps to have an in-depth knowledge about the process. It can be used for any kind of a process.

(6) Guidelines for constructing Control Chart –Collect samples at fixed internal and record the measurement.Total the value for each subgroup. Calculate the average for each subgroup (X). Calculate the overall average. This is called X.Determine the range for each subgroup.Calculate the average range.Calculate the control limit for XDetermine the scale for the graph and plot the graph.
(7) Guidelines for Stratifications –Try to have the clarity of the problem. This will normally help to identify the stratification variables to be selected.If we have ready information and if they are reliable they can be straightaway used, otherwise start collecting data needed.Make sure that all stratifications variables are identified for data collection.Data collected may be enormous, which will call for establishing categories for each stratification variable.The categories may be discrete values or range of values.Sort out the data into the categories of stratification variables.Now summarize the number then total them.If it is arrange of values and need further classification provide it.Present the result in graphic form to enable effective communication.Study the display.

LIMITATIONS
73
LIMITATIONS
The following are the limitations with this report
Limited time available for study.
Difficulty in getting data as data provider (staff) where quick busy in their work.
The research is confined to a certain parts of Pune and does not necessarily shows a pattern applicable to all of Country. Thus, the study might not produce absolutely accurate results as it was based on small sample taken from the population.
Some respondents were reluctant to divulge personal information which can affect the validity of all responses.
In a rapidly changing industry, analysis on one day or in one segment can change very quickly. The environmental changes are vital to be considered in order to assimilate the findings.
