Notes off the Cuff ………

Gary Hand, VP

Hello to all HTM associates.

It is amazing that already we are at the mid point of 2013.

Some thoughts on some current activities……..

1. Industry update, sales results through May 2013. The U.S. market continues to remain strong, at a 15.3 million average annual sales rate (seventh straight month greater than 15 million). American Honda sales results were +4.5% for the month and +5.6% year to date, as compared to May 2012. Best sellers are the Accord ( no. 4 in overall vehicle sales), Civic (no. 7) and CRV (no. 11) Inventory of Accord L4 is at 37 days and CRV at 36 days (ideal level is between 45 ~60 days). Our production schedules will continue to be strong to satisfy sales expectations. I find the following of interest in regards to our competitive position. One of our friendly competitors (Co. T) has just introduced their full model change vehicle for the compact segment. In the race for fuel efficiency, this model will use CVT mission. It is my understanding this mission will be imported, and therefore at presumably a premium cost. We (Honda) have already localized our CVT capability, and will provide us the opportunity to applying to specific models.

2. More on CVT. To continue to improve our competitiveness of CVT, we will soon be localizing key components of the mission. The Pulley Assy will be made at AEP and will begin delivery to HTM in August. Also, the HPDC expansion is complete and two new die cast machines are installed and trials are ongoing. HPDC will begin to supply TC and M cases in December. Thanks to all associates that have been working on these projects.

3. 4WD is on the move. As you know, in April, the Rear Diff Assembly line moved to the south end of the new Assembly Bldg. Next step, detail plans are being developed to move Front Transfer Assembly (in September) to the same bay location. The purpose of this move is to provide more floor space to expand our gear production.

4. On June 19, we held our NH Circle Main Event. It was a very exciting time as each team presented their theme. I congratulate each team member for completing their theme, learning and improving their skills. At the same time, I thank each team for continuing to improve our company. I encourage every associate to engage in this type of activity to continue to make our company competitive.

Everyone, please have a safe and enjoyable Summer shutdown.

As we have been saying all along, Vision making & implementation requires a clear plan. But once that’s made, then what? A plan is only a plan – a description of what to do. There are several other important steps in the cycle we refer to as “PDCA”, that need to be followed to insure success – they are summarized in the diagram below. I did a little research on the origins of “PDCA” & found out more about two key individuals – Walter Shewhart and William Deming. Both were instrumental in creating practices for continuous improvement to achieve high quality & customer satisfaction.

In Honda, we previously promoted the “SA-PDCA” cycle (S.A. = Situation Appraisal). Then, with the introduction of TQM, we enhanced “SA” by clarifying its 3 steps as “DST”. So, as you prepare and implement your Vision, please remember to always utilize the “DST-PDCA Cycle”, because, continuous improvement requires it!

William Edwards Deming – “Father of Modern Quality Control”

Perhaps best known for the PDCA Circle named after

him, Dr. Deming taught mgmt. to improve design,

quality, testing, & sales by applying statistical

methods. He made major contributions to Japan's

reputation for high-quality goods & economic power.

In 1947, he helped with planning the 1951 Japanese

Census. While in Japan, his expertise in quality

control, brought him an invitation from the Japanese

Union of Scientists & Engineers (J.U.S.E.). J.U.S.E.

members sought an expert to teach statistical control,

so in 1950, invited him to train 100’s of engineers,

managers, scholars, & some top mgmt., on S.P.C.

quality concepts. His message: improving quality will

reduce expenses, increase productivity, & market share. Several Japanese

manufacturers applied his techniques widely & experienced heretofore unheard

of levels of quality & productivity. Improved quality & lowered cost Japanese

products did Indeed create new demand. Deming declined to get royalties from

the transcripts of his lectures, so J.U.S.E. Board of Directors created the

Deming Prize” to re-pay him for his friendship & kindness. Within Japan, the

“Deming Prize” continues to have great influence.

Walter Shewhart – “Grandfather of Total Quality Mgmt. (T.Q.M.)”

Original notions of T.Q.M. & continuous

improvement trace back to a Bell Telephone

employee – Dr. Shewhart. As a teacher for Dr.

Deming, he preached the importance of mgmt.

adapting processes to create profitable situations

for both business & consumers, & promoted the

use of one of his creations – Statistical Process

Control (S.P.C.) Charts. Dr. Shewhart believed

that lack of information greatly hampered efforts

to control processes, so he developed S.P.C. to

aid managers to make efficient, economical

decisions. Many modern ideas on quality owe

their inspiration to Dr. Shewhart. He also developed

the “Learning & Improvement PDSA Cycle”, that combines both creative

mgmt. thinking with statistical analysis. This Cycle contains 4 continuous

steps: Plan, Do, Study and Act. These steps, he believed, ultimately lead to

total quality improvement. It draws structure from the notion that constant

evaluation of mgmt. practices - as well as willingness to adopt new ideas &

disregard unsupported ideas – are keys to evolution of successful enterprises.

June 21st ~ August 9th Theme Presentation Preparation

July 26th Theme/Team Submissions

August TBD Line Side Checks of Themes

August 19th HTM Tech Fest

September 17th HTM sub-Regional Event

September 19th Awards Luncheon

The Honda Young Professionals (HYP) is a group started in 89 Ki, and is targeted towards exempt associates with less than 3 years of experience. This group was started in an effort to improve new associate connection to HTM. It is hoped that this, along with other initiatives targeting new associates, will improve employee retention, resulting in a direct savings and increased productivity for HTM. The group will take part in both social and service events. This allows new associates to develop connections with one another and the local community. It also allows for suggestions from new employees to improve the onboarding process and increase utilization of new employees, as well as to promote knowledge of new associates in areas outside their department. It is hoped that this will have the effect of increasing inter-department communication as HTM continues to grow.

Events that have already taken place include a trip to a local restaurant, a trip to the Transportation Research Center (TRC), and a presentation by Vice President, Gary Hand. More events are planned for the future.

Honda Stands Out in Environmental Stewardship May 24, 2013 - Honda of America by Stacey Pond

Zero waste to landfill. Rainwater capture. Improving energy efficiency in our manufacturing operations. For Honda operations, every light switch turned off, every piece of cardboard in the recycle bin adds up. This week, those things added up to recognition by the Ohio EPA.

Honda in Ohio’s environmental team leadership from left to right: Lee Sanders (HTM), Jim Bayer (ELP), Dirk Nordberg (MAP), Mark Tufts (AEP) and Robert Bottom (HAM).

Plant Environmental representatives Eddie Briggs (MAP Forming) and Staci Vansky (MAP Assembly) proudly hold the environmental stewardship flag and award from the Ohio EPA.

Honda operations in Ohio were presented with a stewardship award by Ohio EPA Director, Scott Nally during the organization’s annual Ohio EPA Compliance Assistance Conference in Columbus. The silver level award in the Ohio Encouraging Environmental Excellence Program, also known as “E3”, recognized each of Honda’s manufacturing operations in the state, including HAM facilities in Marysville, East Liberty and Anna as well as the HTM facility in Russells Point. “As part of Honda’s efforts to be a company society wants to exist, we have initiatives in multiple areas of environmental impact,” said Robert Bottom, Green Factory leader at HAM. “Our zero waste to landfill waste reduction was achieved in 2011 as the result of a long-term, multi-year effort.” In addition to reducing landfill waste, Honda demonstrates environmental stewardship through its energy efficiency efforts like regulating air and greenhouse gas emissions. What does it mean to be a good environmental steward? The Ohio EPA says environmental stewardship is any activity that reduces the impact of business activities on the environment beyond measures required by any permit or rule, producing a better environment, conserving natural resources and resulting in long-term economic benefits. The E3 award looks at some specific attributes of a company’s environmental efforts. The environmental efforts need to be comprehensive or looking across a complete spectrum of environmental impacts and solutions, and they need to be innovative.

For Honda, innovation is a hallmark of the company. One of Honda in Ohio’s innovative environmental approaches is the avoidance of using over 24 million additional gallons of groundwater in FY12 with a 7 acre, 2-pond system to capture rainwater. Activities like this made Honda a candidate for the E3 award. The EPA award and flag pictured at right will be proudly displayed at each of the plants in the coming weeks. Stop by to see them and remember to tell your plant and department environmental represen- tatives thanks for the activities they help encourage that led to this important recognition.

Things seem to be improving. Why must I (we) do this?

Answer: Although things have stabilized to some degree, we must be more advanced, better priced, and

more attractive than our competition. Find and reduce or eliminate our inefficiencies.

I don’t think I have any impact at all, concerning Loss Reduction…do I?

Answer: Each associate can be involved and help eliminate loss. We all must make improvements in our

area of expertise as we depend on each other.

Is this just another cost down activity?

Answer: Due to our competitors becoming more efficient and able to reduce the prices of their vehicles, we

MUST continue to improve and become even more efficient to compete.

What does this mean to me?

Answer: You are the expert in your area asking for continuous thinking on how to improve. We need to be

more efficient than our competition! -10-
