Page 10: Yamaha motor company project

The Indian two-wheeler sector is the largest in terms of volumes among the

entire segment in Automobiles Industry. The Indian two-wheeler market has a

size of over Rs 100 billion with sales of more than 3.7 million units in 2000-

2001 and has been growing at 7% rate over 1887-2001.

Five players mainly dominate the two-wheeler segment. All these companies

have foreign collaboration mainly with well known Japanese firms. All these

players have been expanding capacity and widening their product base which

confirm to Euro Environment norms.

Indian is one of the lowest cost production bases for two-wheelers. In the last

four to five yrs, the two wheeler market has witnessed a marked shift towards

motorcycles at the expense of scoters. In the process the share of motorcycle

segment has grown from 48% to 58%.

The urban customers are aspiring to possess the latest in terms of looks,

technology, energy efficient and sleeker looking models that replaced the staid

ones in the market. In rural areas, consumers have come to prefer sturdier

bikes to withstand the bad road conditions.

Marketing is a dynamic field. In past few years, many important and dynamic

changes have taken place in marketing field as a result of rapid technological

changes, globalization as well as unemployment and stagnation, etc. The

marketing executives have been forced to assume wide range of

responsibilities. The companies have been more market driven in their

strategic decision-making.

To cater this need of decision-making, a formalized means of acquiring

information is necessary. This is need is by “Market Research”. The American

Marketing Association Defines Market Research as “The systematic gathering,

recording and analyzing of data about problem relating to marketing of goods

and services.” The subjects to which companies apply their marketing research

10

are markets, products, sales force problems, distribution channel, advertising

and other problems broader than marketing such as Business and short-term

1.2 PRODUCT – OVERVIEW

Yamaha R15 11

Page 12: Yamaha motor company project

The R Concept:

The YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 are equipped with under cowls that are based on the

image of a diffuser, to give them the best form for aero-management. These are

not cowls for simply enclosing the engine, but forms composed of blade

surfaces that actively control airflow. This spirit has been directly inherited by

the YZF-R15.

“Harmony between rider and machine.” YAMAHA's Human Technology

involves studying the form of the motorcycle actually in motion with the rider

on it. The R series is the embodiment of

1) A wide frontal space that protects the rider,

2) An easy to ride seating area that gives riders the freedom of movement and

allows them to steer effectively,

3) The glamorous tail treatment that takes into account the management of

airflow behind the rider, and

4) A sensual racing form that brings all 3 of these elements together in a

harmonious package. These characteristics have been splendidly reproduced in

the YZF-R15.Additionally; the designs were developed in the same modelling

12

Page 13: Yamaha motor company project

room where YZF-R1 designers worked. Information was shared, ensuring that

the R lineage would be transmitted. In addition, the model also incorporates a

multitude of adjustments for the Indian market including seat shape that allows

for tandem riding (integrated with the main seat).

Page 17: Yamaha motor company project

The bike on test with me is the base version without disc brakes or self start,

costing Rs.55, 185/-. If you add Rs.9,000/- to it for disc brake and self start, it

still is only Rs.64,000/-, which is still Rs.25,000/- less than the Eliminator

which comes with self start and disc as standard.

While the Enticer entices aspirants with its price, the Eliminator eliminates most

aspirants with its price.

So, what is it like? Looks it has in plenty. Raised handlebar. Long wheel-base.

Yamaha RXG 135

26

Page 27: Yamaha motor company project

Note: Company does not manufacture this model.

The present models of Yamaha are cashing in on the popularity gained by the

Yamaha RX100. Yamaha decided to launch upgraded models after the earlier

model could not conform to the emission standards. The first was the RXG 135.

It made up for the power loss due to improvement in the engine to tackle

emission norms. However, it could not match the performance and the

expectation that people had developed about Yamaha because of the RX 100.

Then came the YEIS 135. There is a considerable difference in performance due

to changed gear ratio and tuning. The styling has also been adapted to reflect a

more contemporary ethos. This is finally a bike that Yamaha lovers love to call

their own.

Escorts Ace

27

Page 28: Yamaha motor company project

Note: Company does not manufacture this model.

A product of contemporary technology, it has a happy blend of hi-power hi-pick

up 175cc, 10bhp engine with ecolube and alfine cylinder for better cooling and

longer engine life-ideal for tropical climate. Its aerodynamic, modern styling

reflects right from the front fairing to the rear trims with integrated lights. Its

longer wheel base, wide tyres, better ground clearance and bigger brake drums

make it a safe bike for the Indian roads.

Yamaha RXZ

Note: Company does not manufacture this model.

This is an entirely new look Yamaha, achieved with the help of the side panel,

matching headlight cover, engine guard and fuel tank has enhanced the sale and

the look of the bike. To go with the new style is the 135cc engine that the

Yamaha introduced with the RX 135. The engine along with its styling changes

brought the spirit of the RX 100 back into the Yamaha RXZ. The addition of a

tachometer to the Speedo consloe looks a bit incomplete but has made up for the

lack of instrumentation in the earlier models. An addition is the headlight,

which improves the styling, and also the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

Research Methodology:

31

Page 32: Yamaha motor company project

2.1 Research Design:

Research Design is a arrangement of conditions and analysis of data in a

manner that companies relevance of data to be collected. The sample to be

selected in a manner in which the data so collected is to be organized. It

constitutes the main body of the research design. The present study conducted

through a survey method using a well-formed and framed questionnaire.

The research design is the conceptual structure within which research is

conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and

analysis of data. As such the design includes an outline of what the researcher

will do from writing the Hypothesis and its operational implications to the final

analysis of data.

The research deign used for this project was exploratory in nature as there was

no hypothesis to test. The project provides some general information about

Insurance industry of Pune city and about customer’s preferences among the

alternatives. So these can be general information but not any specific result. It

provides information about the actual facts related to the target segment.

2.2 Types of Data:

32

Page 33: Yamaha motor company project

2.2.1 Primary Data:

Primary Data were collected by survey of customers in pune. Primary Data

were collected through personal interview with structure questionnaire. In all

the methods,

Personal interview method was most suitable for the market survey.

2.2.2 Secondary Data:

The Secondary Data are, on the other hand, are those which have already

been collected by someone else and which have already been passed through

statistical process.

Secondary Data were collected through Internet and Library.

2.3 Sources of Data:

The primary source was used in the research. The information gathered for

this project is differing from person to person as there is differences in each

human being. So the observation and the survey of the people are the primary

sources of data from this project. As such there is no secondary data available

for the information required for a particular matter. So the primary source of

data collection can only give the real and detailed information required for the

project.

2.4 Sample Plan:

Sample Plan may be defined as the selection of some part of an aggregate

or totality on the basis of which a judgment or inference about the aggregate or

33

Page 34: Yamaha motor company project

totality is made. In other words, it is the process of obtaining information about

an entire population by examining only a part of it.

2.4.1 Universe:

From a statistical point of view, the term ‘universe’ refers to the total of the

items or units in any field of inquiry or to the total of items about which

information is desired.

For the purpose of this study the universe has been defined as “The set

consisting of all the customer of Insurance in Pune city (Sinhgad institute and

sinhgad road)

2.4.2 Sample Size:

Sample Size means how many people should be surveyed. Large sample

size gives more reliable results than small one. Sampling is the method and

selecting sample for studying the position of universe in total.

As here, we selected 50 people for survey.

2.5 Methods of Data collection:

Methods by which data are collected. The type of data collection begins

after a research problem has been defined and research design chalked out.

34

Page 35: Yamaha motor company project

Here the data were collected through two methods.

1) Personal Interview Method.

2) Telephone Interview Method.

2.5.1 Questionnaire:

A questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed or typed in a

definite order on a form or set of forms. A questionnaire is sent to the persons

concerned with request to answer the question and return the questionnaire. The

questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are expected to read and understand

the questions and write down the reply in the space meant for the purpose in the

questionnaire itself. The respondents have to answer the questions on their own.

In this project questionnaire were given to the 50 customer and information

collected form those questionnaires were used for data processing and analysis.

2.5.2 Formation of Questionnaire:

Formation of questionnaire could be structured or un-structured

questionnaire. Structured questionnaire are those questionnaire in which there

are definite, concrete and pre-determined questions. The form of the question

may be either closed ended questions (giving option such as yes or no) and

open ended questions(inviting free response) but this should be stated in

advance and not during questioning. When this characteristics are not present in

a questionnaire it can be term as un-structured questionnaire.

35

Page 36: Yamaha motor company project

In this project structured questionnaire were used with closed and open ended

questions in it. As this form of questionnaire reduces the difficulty of the

respondent while answering the questions?

2.6 Field Work:

Field work is defined as the place where you have conducted your survey and

with whose help you have taken.

Field work for this project was performed by me without the help of any

people. My Field work consists of questionnaire which I have circulated among

50 customers so that I can get information that was required for the project.

2.7 Data Analysis Technique:

The data after collection has to be processed and analyzed in a accordance

with the outline laid down for the purpose at the tine of developing the

research plan. By Analysis we mean the computation of certain indices or

MAJOR FINDINGS

There is a large portion of the service class in the customer population

followed by student and business class.

52

Page 53: Yamaha motor company project

Yamaha Motor India Pvt. Ltd. has a market share of about 10% in the two

wheeler automobile industry.

Yamaha brand is perceived as having good power and technically sound\

less maintenance bikes. Many perceive its features as “just what I need”.

The dealer’s network is not strong and time to get bike service need is also

not satisfactory where as quality of service, availability of spares, service

cost and treatment by dealer are satisfactory.

The marketing efforts undertaken by Yamaha are not so aggressive as

compared t competitors in the market.

The awareness about Yamaha bikes is created through mainly broadcast

media and print.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUGGESTIONS

After looking into the finding of the survey! I would like to give some

suggestion to the company. So that Yamaha India Pvt. Ltd. can increase its

share in the two wheeler automobile market. It has been found in the survey that

Yamaha bikes are facing problems due to its features of motorcycle. The

customers are basically complaining about the mileage, which is the major

54

Page 55: Yamaha motor company project

problem the bike is facing. Apart from the survey, what I feel is that the reason

of motorcycle sale not picking up in the market as compared to other brands is

the lack of aggressive marketing

I would like to give 40% of the reasons of not picking up sales of bike to its

product and 60% to the improper marketing strategy which is the main reasons

as to why the company is not able to increase its share in the market.

Company must focus its attention on the marketing aspects of motorcycle

segment because I found to that there is still lack of awareness of the product in

the market which is a matter that has to be carefully looked upon strategically

and move forward to strive for excellence in the market.

In the end, I would say that the customer satisfaction should be the main target

and mission of the company of the company to create the brand loyalty among

the customer.

CONCLUSION

The Yamaha bikes are perceived as power bike in the market.

There is need to reposition Yamaha bikes as mileage is the most attractive

factor in the Indian Customer’s mind.

55

Page 56: Yamaha motor company project

The company needs aggressive marketing efforts.

The customer satisfaction level is up to the mark.

The company has about 10% market share in the two-wheeler segment of

automobile industry.
