Infect, it is the lone(prenominal) Indian company with kayoed a foreign collaboration in the two-wheeler industry. When the company opted unwrap of the collaboration with Suzuki in 2002, many believed that TVS was headed towards extinction. But the company proved the doomsayers faulty and came out with a very successful TVS Victor. TVS Motors Ltd. originally incorporated in 1982 to even off two-wheelers in collaboration with Suzuki Motors of Japan, T VS was one of the leaders in two-wheeler industry.It is the memory company for the TVS Group of companies engaged in the manufacturing of various automotive components, two wheelers and a few other industrial products. They are also into the monetary services sector. The turnover of the entire group was close to $2 gazillion in 2003. TVS was founded by T. V. Sundaram Iyengar in 1911. It is the barely automotive manufacturer in India to get the prestigious Deming Prize. One of its subsidiaries Sundaram Clayton was the first company in India to own the Deming followed by Sundaram Brake Linings also getting the Deming Prize.This prize is given to organizations or divisions of organizations that have achieved distinctive performance improvement with the application of TQM in a designingated year. Sundaram Clayton went on to be awarded the Japan tonicity Medal. The TVS group of companies is in general situated in Padi, Tamil Nadu, in the outskirts of Chennai (formerly Madras) T ype Private manifold (BSE) Founded in 1911 by Shri.T V Sundaram Iyengar Headquarters Chennai, Tamilnadu, India Key people Mr. Venu Srinivasan Chairman Products Motorcycles,Mopeds,Ungeared scooters, Automotive components Revenue USD 3. billion (FY 2009) Employees 5,633 (2007) Website www. tvsmotor. in TVS Motors- TVS Motor break in halfship has its origin in SUndaram Clayton Limited, Moped Division, started in 1980. The factory was started in Hosur, Tamil Nadu in southern India. The first product launched was a 50 cc moped, which appealed to the asses because of its capability to carry two people. In the same location, the same promoters started other company in 1984, in collaboration with Suzuki Motor mint of Japan, for the manufacture of 100 cc motorcycles under the brand ready of Ind-Suzuki Motorcycles. Subsequently in the moped division was bought by Ind Suzuki Motorcycles in 1987 and the company changed its name to TVS Suzuki Ltd. stock-still though the company s tarted producing all kinds of two wheelers like mopeds, scooters and motorcycles, the collaboration with Suzuki move for the motorcycles only.The collaboration with Suzuki Motor Corporation ended in 2001 and since then the name of the company changed to TVS Motor Company. The company now develops all types of two-wheelers finished with(predicate) its own in house R&D facility and manufactures in three locations in India, Hosur in Tamil Nadu, Mysore in Karnataka and Baddi in Himachal Pradesh. It has recently started a new manufacturing plant in Indonesia to cater to the South East Asian market. The Chairman and Managing Director of the Company is Mr. Venu Srinivasan who is the grandson of TV Sundaram Iyengar. OPERATIONS REVIEWQuality The Company has importantly improved the quality performance of all its products through a remainsatic task force approach. The fact that the Company came out with Industry first five year extended warranty computer programme on Star brand is a test imony to its manufacturing quality. TQM The Company continues to make headway from 100% participation of employees in TQM activities. The employees have completed more than 1,200 projects through QC Circles and Cross Functional Teams. The average number of suggestions implemented per employee was 69 during 2007-08. follow managementThe Company continues its rigorous focus on costs through an effective deployment system. Value engineering and aggressive global sourcing projects are universe pursued to reduce material costs and also to partially even off input material cost subjoin. TPM is practiced in all the plants to reckon significant improvement in productivity and reduction in manufacturing cost. During 2007-08, the Hosur and Mysore plants were awarded the TPM excellence certificate by the Japanese Institute of Plant Management (JIPM). leaving forward- Going forward, the road for TVS appears to be bumpy.Automobile industry is the most tinted industry with competition o n all fronts viz. pricing, innovations, lend chain, efficiency etc. The situation is further aggravated by rise in sensitive materials like steel, rubber, plastics etc, as the company is not able to increase the selling price in proportion, thereby affecting the net hit growth. This is evident from the fact that though in FY04 sales grew by 4%, operating profit fell by 1%. Though the raw material prices have cooled off from their peaks, we expect margins to remain under push in near future.Riding on significant growth in the two-wheeler segment over the years, coupled with strong cash position and prevision of buoyant economy, two wheeler companies have been planning capacity expansions. Hero Honda has embarked on a green field expansion plan (initial enthronisation of Rs 2. 5 bn). Bajaj Auto (BJAT. BO, news) is evaluate to increase its capacity by 33% by June 2005. Similarly Honda Motors and Scooters (SCOO. BO, news) India Ltd, 100% subsidiary of Honda Motors Japan is expec ted to fork-like its capacity in FY06.These developments are likely to create a significant increase in supply of two wheelers, changing the demand supply scenario and thus putting pressure on margins. As compared to TVS, its competitors are sitting with on a huge pile of cash. Hero Honda generated close to Rs 9 bn from trading operations, where as Bajaj Auto generated Rs 15 bn from operation in FY04, thereby are in a better position to execute expansion plans. TVS generated Rs 2 bn from operations in FY04. National Council for Applied and Economic Research (NCAER), in its report has projected that the demand for motorcycles leave behind be almost 10 times of that of the scooters by 2011-12.TVS, traditionally is considered to be a regional player with a strong hold in Southern region. As per NCAER report, major demand for Scooters is expected to come from northern region, which will depend for 50% of the total demand. Similarly the major demand for motorcycle is expected to be from Western region, which will account for 40% of the total demand. Thus it will require considerable effort on part of the management to significantly improve their presence in these regions. This may have an adverse touch on profits due to additional expenditure on account of advertising and publicity. Suzuki sees TVS Motor as main competitorSUZUKI MOTOR Corporation (SMC) and Venu Srinivasan-led TVS Group may have parted company. But the separation seems to be still working on the mind of the erstwhile foreign partner in the former joint venture TVS Suzuki Ltd. (now TVS Motor). SMC, which is now embarking the Indian two-wheeler segment independently, has sort of identified TVS Motor as its principal competitor. In a chat with the visiting Indian newspersons at Hamamatsu in Japan, Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director, had on more than one occasion indicated that their target would be TVS Motor. Suzuki would aim to match the production and sales of TVS. Otherwise, there is no mean ing for the divorce, he asserted. Suzuki is presently waiting for the cooling off stop consonant post-separation to end to launch head-on into the Indian two-wheeler market. The cooling-off spot ends in April 2004. Mr. Nakanishi indicated that the SMC joint venture with Integra Group would go on stream in the autumn of 2005. While declining to divulge the capacity of the proposed plant, he said the initial Suzuki investment in the venture would be approximately $10 million. To a question, he said, the joint venture would focus on producing products in the growing segments (100cc to 150cc four- blow vehicles).Suzuki had picked the plant location in Haryana in survey of the fact that Maruti Udyog had already established a large vendor secondary around that place. Mr. Nakanishi said Integra would function only as a facilitator for Suzuki to get into the two-wheeler business. It will be a gate for us. We will buy them out over a period, he added. Asked to comment on TVS Motors pro posal to enter the Southeast Asian market, Mr. Nakanishi was guarded nevertheless did not mince words. We will fight them out there as well, he asserted. The market in Southeast Asia was competitive, he said.And, Suzuki had presence in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

SCOOTY PEP + The TVS Scooty Pep prescribed is a modern 4 stroke 75cc scooty that is ideal for the ladies. Its powerful engine generates maximum power of 3. 68kw (5 bhp) 6500rpm and maximum torque of 5. 8 4000 rpm. pic Some of the best features of the Scooty Pep positivist are stone box headlamp, integrated tail lamp, chrome plated exhaust, multi reflector indicators, and the striking pillion overtake rail.Besides these, there are many other features to this scooterette that prove very user-friendly- auto choke, bag hooks, compartmentalized utility box, auto burn down tap, paw box push and pull bag holder among others. The Pep Plus Scooty comes in dual texture colors and arresting graphics. TVS Scooty has always been a uncorrupted looker. The Pep+ retains the familiar face with its friendly expr ession but gets a tangy new set of graphics. The grab-rail also now matches its body color. Dual-tone shades spruce up the scooter with a racy chequer look on the front apron and rear panels.Grips, levers, switchgear and mirrors are top-notch. The only drawback is absence of a rear brake-locking clamp. In a smart move, the key slot itself is florescent, so as to allow grope-free access in the dark. Theres also a new cell phone-charging point. Pep+ lights up its lockable under roll in the hay storage bay and offers yet another smart feature that would do well on any such scooterette, a spring at the mounting pivot prevents the seat from accidentally closing at a fuel station and crushing unsuspecting fingers. It retains its quality feel in pass alloy rims, both front and rear.The refreshed force air-cooled Plus motor feels safe as buzz-free and convenient in its automatic ways as before, but there is a difference with whole dozes of supplementary performance begging to be used. The Plus not only feels meaty where it matters most in its low- and midrange punch, but does manage a comparatively respectable top speed of 71kph delivered with refinement. Sitting on the Scooty is comfortable for all except the tallest and the heaviest, who will surely feel cramped. The Scooty was always bold offering twin telescopic forks as front suspension.While the rest of the industry sticks with diminutive and far less effective front dampers, the Pep Plus carries forward this handling-enhancing theme. At the rear, there is a single shock absorber doing responsibility in conjunction with its hinged engine. The alloy rim-shod Pep Plus is set just right for a ride quality that doesnt wallow overtly, nor feels too firm. Its a well-damped scooterette that offers as much stability as can be expected from any two-wheeler on 10-inch wheels. It steers accurately, turn-in to corners is feather-like and cornering manners satisfactory.The 110mm drum brakes are commensurate kit for t his vehicle, and offer fine feedback through their individual levers.
