INDUSTRY PROFILE

Sri Krishna Arts & Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

INDUSTRY PROFILE:

The automobile industry is one of the leading industries at the global level. It plays a crucial
role in the development of the global economy because of the high revenues and increased
customer demands. The automobile industry helps to foster economic development of the
country; therefore, it is widely recognized as a major economic sector. The automobile industry
consists of multiple companies specialized in car manufacturing, as well as the ones involved
in marketing and distribution of automobile products, such as cars, buses, vans, trucks,
motorcycles, mopeds and motorized bicycles.

Automobile industry use the strategy tools and theories, such as Porter’s five forces and
PESTEL analysis and other approaches.

POSTER’S FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

1. Bargaining Power of Suppliers

The bargaining power of suppliers is low for the reason of the availability of multiple suppliers
in the auto-parts industry. Nevertheless, due to the growth of the supply system and its
specialization, supported by new technological advancements, manufacturers have an
opportunity to reject the delivery of materials because of poor quality.

2. Bargaining Power of Customers

The bargaining power of customers is moderate because in the automobile industry, customers
need to have enough information about automobile products’ characteristics, as well as other
factors that influence their decision making: price, quality, product image, brand, and
environmental impact of the product. Many car manufactures produce products with the same
characteristics and sell them at the same price.

3. Rivalry between Existing Players

The rivalry between the car manufacturers is focused on addressing the demands of customers
in terms of lower prices, better product differentiation, more effective distribution strategies,
and stronger business relationship with supply system. Currently, the existing players in the
automobile industry are BMW, Ford, Audi, Honda, Mercedes Benz, Fiat, Lexus, Infiniti,
Acura, Toyota, Volkswagen and others.

4. Threat of Substitutes

The threat of substitutes is moderate because automobile products vary, although they have the
same purpose. Due to product differentiation, customers have an opportunity to select products
considering such factors as price, quality and design.

10 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts & Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

5. Threat of New Entrants

The automobile industry has high level of barriers to entry. It needs specific machinery,
facilities, equipment, human resources, technological devices, distribution channels, etc. The
automobile industry is attractive to new entrants, but requires them to solve a number of
problems, like customer preferences, industry demands, environmental demands, and others.
Thus, the threat of new entrants is low.

PESTEL ANALYSIS

Political and legal factors

Political factors have a strong impact on the development and growth of the automobile
industry. The production of hybrid vehicles requires more financial support from local
governments because of the environment friendliness. The production of new vehicles must
comply with the established vehicle emission standards. Governments across the globe should
provide financial support to favour the distribution of vehicles with lower CO2 emissions.
Besides, taxes and import laws affect the automobile industry growth. In fact, there are some
legal requirements that should be met by the car manufacturers, including environmental
regulations aimed at reduction CO2 emissions.

Economic factors

The increased prices for cars are associated with the inflation rate and economic crisis. Besides,
the industry is dependent on oil prices. The following factors play an important role in the
industry’s shifting in supply demands and price elasticity: local government taxes, prices for
materials and resources, population growth, buying capacity, types of economic activities,
commercial usage of vehicles, fuel economy dependence, and other factors. The profitability
of the automobile industry is related to the financial opportunities of customers.

Socio-cultural factors

Socio-cultural factors that influence the development and growth of the automobile industry
include population growth rate, education level, lifestyles, safety issues, cultural differences,
and the effects of consumer buying habits, their attitudes toward “green” or ecological
automobile products. The automobile industry growth is dependent on the preferences of
customers, most of whom need to purchase cars for families. They consider the space available
in the car, safety and price.

Technological factors

Technological innovations play a crucial role in the development of the automobile industry.
Due to the use of new technologies it is possible to enhance standards of driving. Besides,
currently, the automobile industry is experiencing the problem of fuel consumption. The
innovation of new cars, which are characterized as environment friendly vehicles, is aimed at
reduction of fuel consumption. Besides, technological innovations are aimed at meeting the
requirements of customer safety. New seat belts, air bags and other devices help to avoid
injuries sustained in collisions. Anti-Brake Systems help to increase the stopping distance even
on slippery pavement. The automobile industry needs investments in research and development

11 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts & Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

to ensure that new technologies are useful and meet the demands of customers .The production
of high performance vehicles by car manufactures is increasing due to the benefits provided to
customers: higher engine output, more innovative braking and suspension systems and other
technical characteristics that guarantee high quality of products.

Environmental factors

There are some environment factors that affect industry development and growth, including
fuel economy and air pollution caused by CO2 emissions. Environmental concerns make car
manufactures use innovative technologies. The production of environment friendly vehicles,
such as hybrid cars and electric vehicles, allows changing customer demands and preferences
in the future. The advantages of these vehicles over gasoline cars include low emission and
high energy efficiency.

SWOT ANALYSIS

 Evolving industry due to popularity of cars among consumers;


 Contribution to changes in lifestyles;

 Environmental concerns;
 High costs of research and development opportunities.

Opportunities

PROTECTING OCCUPANTS AND PEDESTRIANS

Based on analysis of actual accidents, Toyota develops safe vehicle body structures and
occupant protection devices. When a vehicle collides, the vehicle’s body absorbs and disperses
the impact to secure cabin space. Simultaneously, seatbelts and airbags are activated to protect
the occupants. Pedestrian safety is also taken into consideration in developing body structures.

TOWARDS A SAFER TRAFFIC ENVIRONMENT

Toyota is undertaking various initiatives to realize intelligent transport systems as a


way of reducing traffic accidents. The initiatives involve the creation of a traffic system
that views people, vehicles and roads as an integrated whole, and the fusion of vehicles
and information communication systems.

Vehicle-infrastructure cooperative systems, which use direct roadside-sensor-to-


vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-topedestrian communications, are aimed at
preventing collisions that are difficult to prevent using a vehicle’s standalone systems,
such as collisions at intersections with poor visibility and those during turns that cross-
opposing lanes. Toyota is promoting widespread use of such systems to achieve a world
of safe and comfortable mobility.

15 | P a g e

Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

Toyota provides drivers with safe-driving education, presents children with traffic-safety
learning aids and carries out activities to heighten awareness among pedestrians of the
importance of reflective materials.

They celebrate the World Environmental Day every year by not using two-wheeler and
four-wheeler for about 12 hrs to reduce the smoke and to create awareness. The employees
use only the public transport on this day. This shows their care towards the environment.

They also celebrate World Water Day & World Yoga Day. The company have no running

2) STORES DEPARTMENT

The inventory department plays a vital role in maintaining the stocks of the department. They
maintain the up-to-date record of all materials issued and received. The goods that are
necessary for future use are kept in the warehouse. Material Received Record is maintained in
the warehouse to have the control over the stock. No material is allowed to go in and out of the

There are certain steps followed by Anaamalais Toyota to have efficient control over their
inventories. They are;

 Preservation
 Handling
 Audit
 Cycle Counting
 Package improvement.

PRESERVATION

They preserve their goods/ parts in an efficient manner. And they have control over
them. So that there couldn’t be damage occurred to the spare parts. The loss in case of damage
during the transit or defective parts. It must be borne by suppliers. The concern does not have
any responsibility over that.

HANDLING

They handle their products with such a manner. So that the workers could handle
with extra care. In case there is a damage occurred the goods/ parts. That damage is also borne
by the suppliers.

AUDITING

They do audit at the end of every month to have check over the total stock. So that
it would be easy for concern while planning for the next year’s stock /next month ‘s stock. It is
the best way so that there won’t be any error occurred without the concern’s knowledge.

26 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

CYCLE COUNTING

A cycle count is an inventory auditing process, which falls under inventory


management, where a small subset inventory in a specific location, is counted on a specific
day. This happens after every day the concern will have count after their daily target has been
achieved.

PACKAGE IMPROVEMENT

They would improve the package of the inventory if the supplier has sent best
quality from the beginning for their contract and improve their package. This would give the
supplier encouragement.

METHODOLOGIES OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

STOCK REVIEW

Stock review, which is the simplest inventory management methodology. Stock


review involves a regular analysis of stock on hand versus projected future needs. It primarily
uses manual effort, although there can be automated stock review to define a minimum stock
level that then enables regular inventory inspections and reordering of supplies to meet the
minimum levels. Stock review can provide a measure of control over the inventory
management process, but it can be labour-intensive and prone to errors.

JUST-IN-TIME METHODOLOGY

Just-in-time (JIT) methodology, in which products arrive as they are ordered by


customers, and which is based on analysing customer behaviour. This approach involves
researching buying patterns, seasonal demand and location-based factors that present an
accurate picture of what goods are needed at certain times and places. The advantage of JIT is
that customer demand can be met without needing to keep quantities of products on hand, but
the risks include misreading the market demand or having distribution problems with suppliers,
which can lead to out-of-stock issues.

27 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

ABC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY

ABC analysis methodology, which classifies inventory into three categories that
represent the inventory values and cost significance of the goods. Category A represents high-
value and low-quantity goods, category B represents moderate-value and moderate-quantity
goods, and category C represents low-value and high-quantity goods. Each category can be
managed separately by an inventory management system, and it's important to know which
items are the best sellers in order to keep quantities of buffer stock on hand. For example, more
expensive category A items may take longer to sell, but they may not need to be kept in large
quantities. One of the advantages of ABC analysis is that it provides better control over high-
value goods, but a disadvantage is that it can require a considerable amount of resources to
continually analyse the inventory levels of all the categories.

3) MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Marketing department promotes the business and create an awareness about the product in the
minds of the customers through the advertisement. It acts as the key to increase the profit of
the company by increasing the level of sales.

Competitive analysis in the Marketing strategy of Toyota

The automotive market is overcrowded with a large number of automotive companies eating
up each other’s market share. Factors affecting the competition in the industry are product
features, price safety, fuel economy, customer service standards, Downward demand, a
decrease in prices and competition in automotive financing resulted in shrinking margin due to
which there was no significant growth in the company in the year 2016. It competes with a
company like Suzuki, Honda, Nissan, Ford, General Motors and many others in the automotive
industry in one or more segments.

Security guards will comes under this department. They use to receive the customer from gate

7) CRM DEPARTMENT:

Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to manage a company's


interaction with current and potential customers. It uses data analysis about customers' history
with a company to improve business relationships with customers, specifically focusing on
customer retention and ultimately driving sales growth.

One important aspect of the CRM approach is the systems of CRM that compile data from a
range of different communication channels, including a company's website, telephone, email,
live chat, marketing materials and more recently, social media. Through the CRM approach
and the systems used to facilitate it, businesses learn more about their target audiences and how
to best cater to their needs.

Customer pull

The marketing guides prospective buyers to the Toyota web site, where they can learn more
and request further information. Requesting information is an example of "customer pull,"
where Toyota responds directly to the customer. It is the first point at which the customer
becomes known to Toyota, and it triggers a check to see if Toyota already knows the customer.
What the company already knows about the customer guides how future touch-points to that
customer are delivered.

Toyota push

As Toyota guides the customer through the purchase process, the auto company uses what it
knows about the customer to provide just the right information that Toyota leadership thinks
will help him or her make the right choice. This is an example of "smart Toyota push." In
addition to more vehicle information, Toyota might send out a customized offer, maybe even
a pre-approved credit offer if the customer’s credit record with Toyota is good. Statistical
models are widely used to help identify which customers should have which information
pushed to them. Where models are not available or not appropriate, simple data analyses or
Toyota best practices are used, instead.

HR FUNCTIONS

The six main function of HR are recruitment, workplace safety, employee relations,
compensation planning, labour law compliance and training.

Recruiting the Right People for the Right Job

The success of recruiters and employment specialists generally is measured by the number of
positions they fill and the time it takes to fill those positions. Recruiters who work in-house –
as opposed to companies that provide recruiting and staffing services – play a key role in
developing the employer's workforce. They advertise job postings, source candidates, screen
applicants, conduct preliminary interviews and coordinate hiring efforts with managers
responsible for making the final selection of candidates.

Maintaining a Safe Environment

Workplace safety is an important factor. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970, employers have an obligation to provide a safe working environment for employees. One
of the main functions of HR is to support workplace safety training and maintain federally
mandated logs for workplace injury and fatality reporting. In addition, HR safety and risk
specialists often work closely with HR benefits specialists to manage the company's workers
compensation issues.

Employer-Employee Relations

In a unionized work environment, the employee and labour relations functions of HR may be
combined and handled by one specialist or be entirely separate functions managed by two HR
specialists with specific expertise in each area. Employee relations is the HR discipline
concerned with strengthening the employer-employee relationship through measuring job
satisfaction, employee engagement and resolving workplace conflict. Labour relations
functions may include developing management response to union organizing campaigns,
38 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

negotiating collective bargaining agreements and rendering interpretations of labour union


contract issues.

Compensation and Benefits

Like employee and labour relations, the compensation and benefits functions of HR often can
be handled by one HR specialist with dual expertise. On the compensation side, the HR
functions include setting compensation structures and evaluating competitive pay practices. A
comp and benefits specialist also may negotiate group health coverage rates with insurers and
coordinate activities with the retirement savings fund administrator. Payroll can be a
component of the compensation and benefits section of HR; however, in many cases,
employers outsource such administrative functions as payroll.

Labour Law Compliance

Compliance with labour and employment laws is a critical HR function. Noncompliance can
result in workplace complaints based on unfair employment practices, unsafe working
conditions and general dissatisfaction with working conditions that can affect productivity and
ultimately, profitability. HR staff must be aware of federal and state employment laws such as
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labour Standards Act, the National Labour Relations
Act and many other rules and regulations.

Training and Development

Employers must provide employees with the tools necessary for their success which, in many
cases, means giving new employees extensive orientation training to help them transition into
a new organizational culture. Many HR departments also provide leadership training and
professional development. Leadership training may be required of newly hired and promoted
supervisors and managers on topics such as performance management and how to handle
employee relations matters at the department level.

Professional development opportunities are for employees looking for promotional


opportunities or employees who want to achieve personal goals such as finishing a college
degree. Programs such as tuition assistance and tuition reimbursement programs often are
within the purview of the HR training and development area.

THREE KEYS OF HRM ACTIVITIES

I would like to work in private sector organizations, and Toyota is one of these organizations.
Their Human Resources Department Functions are interesting because it includes a variety of
activities and they can manage all the HR functions.

Compensation and Benefits

Salaries, bonuses, sick leave pay, compensations of workers and insurance such as dental and
life are covered by compensation and benefits. Developing and administrating a benefits
compensation system are the responsibilities of TMC HR Dept. this system serves as an
inducement and make them to guarantee that the recruitment and the retirement of talented and
skilled employees will stay in the organization. The compensation and benefit manager
explains for the hired employees their benefits package by meeting one by one or in small
groups. Finally, employees are obligated to make an informed decision and their signature is
needed for processing purposes.

Employee and Labour Relations

These days the unethical practices and misbehaviour has increased in workplace, this includes
race, gender, religion discrimination and sexual harassments. TMC ensures that all of the
employees are fairly treated according to their compulsory abidance to the law rules and
regulations. Concisely, if there were any authority abuses by the supervisor to lower
employees, they have a place to turn on and the TMC HR Department will get involved as
arbitrator and liaison the employees and legal entity to solve this issue in a proper way.

Safety and Health

TMC is concerned for their employees overall physical and mental well-being and believes
that healthy employees will provide the cornerstone for better quality of life. So, they do their
best to provide them with additional opportunities and their families to receive medical
treatment which will contribute to life quality for employees and maintain the effective
contribution to the organization.

9) U TRUST DEPARTMENT

Toyota U Trust allows customers an opportunity to sell car, to exchange the old cars of any
brand. Toyota U Trust, a certified used car program was started by Toyota Kirloskar Motors

experience to Customers.

Toyota which is synonym for Quality, Durability & Reliability in new car extends the same
offering in used cars through U Trust. At Toyota U Trust you can Buy, Sell or Exchange used
car of any brand with complete peace of mind.

In used car industry, each car is unique and its quality and price differ, hence no two identical
cars will have same price and quality. At U Trust, we bring in a systematic approach to evaluate
& price our cars.

Each car is evaluated through a comprehensive 203 check point where every aspect of vehicle:
Interior, Exterior, Engine and vehicle Frame is inspected by our trained technicians which is
unique to U Trust. The price is then derived through Toyota U Trust pricing app.

Once the vehicle is procured, a team of trained technicians scrutinize overall car quality and
come up with a detailed refurbishment plan so that the next owner can get the best ownership
experience (close to owning a new car). U Trust certified
cars comes with 2years/30000 kms warranty which is the best in the industry.

9) SALES DEPARTMENT
Sales department is the division of a business that is responsible for selling products or services.
They are mainly responsible for increasing the profit of the organization by increasing the level
of sales. A person or organization expressing an interest in acquiring the offered item of value
is referred to as a potential buyer, prospective customer, or prospect.

ROLE OF SALES DEPARTMENT


 Understand the Customer Expectation
 Customer Satisfaction is their Ultimate Goal
 Maintaining Good Relationship with Customer.

FUNCTION OF SALES DEPARTMENT

The various functions of sales department are:

1. Market Research

2. Advertising

3. Sales Correspondence

4. Sales

42 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

5. Service

6. Packaging

7. Warehouse.

1. Market Research:

It means study of market, which includes forecasting, intelligence and statistics. It is an


important factor for the sale of products. Failure to do this accurately may lead to the production
of more goods that the market can absorb. This may mean financial losses to the firm. It may
also lead to under-production, the results of which are equally unpleasant.

In estimating sales for a future period, number of factors has to be considered, the most
important of these are:

(a) Secular Trends

Means due to increase of population, the demand of products may also increase in proportion.

(b) Cyclical Changes

These are changes due to agricultural crops, wars, inventions, discoveries etc.

(c) Seasonal Fluctuations

These are changes in the volume of sales due to climatic conditions or festive buying. There
are many products like umbrellas, woollen wears, neckties etc. which have a seasonal demand
while products like soap, tooth paste, blades etc. are free from such seasonal fluctuations.

(d) Nature of Products

Products are classified as consumer goods and capital goods. Articles of food, toiletries, shoes,
toys, papers, pencils come in the first category while machinery, machine tools etc. come in
the second category.

43 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

Consumer goods such as shoes are rapidly used and must be continually replaced. So there is
more regular demand for them. But capital goods, such as lathe whose life is long enough, have
more fluctuations in their demand than consumer goods.

Hence in estimating future sales, a manufacturer must take into account the nature of his
product and study how changing business conditions will affect the demand for his product,

(e) Competition

This makes it necessary to study the recent or proposed production, sales and pricing policies
of the competitors. Most important of these is the analysis of the quality of the competitor’s
products to ascertain how a potential customer would compare with one’s product.

The sales department should ask its salesmen to report and comment by a potential customer
about the firm’s product or the products of its competitors. It should also study the research
and product development work that the competitor may be carrying on in order to forecast as
to how these will affect future sales.

(f) Government Action

Effect of large government buying, levy, excise duties, policy regarding taxation of personnel
income, monetary policy of deficit finance etc.

2. ADVERTISING FOR SALES

Advertising is the publication of information regarding articles (products) put up for sales and
is a method to bring the producer into touch with customers. This informs the customers about
the product and the place from where they can get it.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Advertising promotes trade and creates demand and hence it is the pivot of modern trade,
commerce and business. The most appealing definition of advertising is- “advertising bring to
the greater number of people, actual knowledge concerning useful things, thus it is essentially
a form of education of the people about the product.”

44 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

Functions of Advertising

Following are the main important functions (or objects) of advertising:

(i) Advertising is the powerful media of demand creation by reaching to the customers and
telling them about good qualities of the product.

(ii) To prepare ground for a new product by way of introducing its product to the public,

(iii) It enhances the goodwill of the company among customers.

(iv) Advertising helps the product to stand against its competitor products.

Advantages of Advertising

(A) To Manufacturers:

(i) It increases sales by way of increasing demand.

(ii) Helps salesmen by preparing ground for them.

(iii) Creates good-will by telling customers about the quality and service.

(iv) Lower costs can be achieved by way of increasing the turnover due to advertising.

(B) To Customers:

(i) Facility in purchasing a product is felt by the consumer because he can decide that what he
should purchase,

(ii) Better quality is available to the customer.

(iii) Because of the direct contact between manufacturer and the customer, middlemen cannot
charge more profit.

45 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

(C) To Society:

(i) Advertisements help the newspapers in keeping their rates low, so that the newspapers are
well within the reach of common men.

(ii) These, by way of increasing the production, raise standards of living.

(iii) Provides employment, encourage artists etc.

(iv) To remain in the market and to advertise specialties of the product, manufacturer has to
pay attention on research so as to get new improved and better products.

Economic Implications of Advertising

Advertising has following main economic implications:

(i) Informing Consumers

An advertisement informs the consumer about the market condition, namely, the goods
available in the market, their characteristics, the model best suited to the needs of the consumer
and so on.

(ii) Broadening the Market

Advertising broadens the market by familiarizing the consumer with new products, increasing
the number of dealers. All this tends to increase the production and hence lower the cost due
to mass production. Advertising reduces the scope for earning local monopoly profits.

(iii) Lowering Selling Costs

Its main advantage is to lower the cost per contact e.g. one newspaper advertisement places the
product before the eyes of many more prospective buyers that the equivalent expenditure on
salesmen. Thus efforts for retail sales are reduced, which reduces per unit expenditure on sales.

(iv) Encouraging Competition

With the help of advertising new firms can introduce their products, more rapidly than would
be possible without advertising.
46 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

(v) Criticism

Advertisement has been criticized for (a) misinforming the consumers and (b) concentrating
the market in the hands of few, who can invest heavily on the advertisements, this creates
problems in establishing new business with limited resources, even if the product is good.

3. SALES

All the activities of the Sales department are for selling to earn maximum profit. For this
purpose continuous search is made for profitable markets. Various agencies are opened
throughout the country and if possible in foreign markets also.

Sales Promotion

Sales promotion is a direct and immediate inducement that adds an extra value to the product
so that it prompts the dealers, distributors or ultimate consumers to buy the product. Sales
promotion activities are complementary to advertising and personal selling efforts.

Objectives of Sales Promotions:

Sales promotion objectives are:

(i) For introducing new products

(ii) For unloading accumulated inventory.

(iii) For overcoming a competitive situation.

(iv) For overcoming seasonal slumps/decline,

(v) As a support to the advertising effort.

47 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

4. SALES CORRESPONDENCE

Any incoming letter must be replied in a short time. The letter should be tactful, simple in
language, helpful and every customer must feel that his enquiries are being considered.

Quotations for the supply of products should be sent to large number of customers and try to
capture large markets.

If the promises cannot be kept with regard to delivery date or other matters, the customers
should be informed immediately and whenever practicable reasons for the delay should be
given.

5. SERVICE

Industry is rapidly adopting the principle that service is an essential part of the sales itself.
Manufacturers often find it essential to see that their products are properly installed. This is not
only a service to the customers but also a protection against complaints and general dissat-
isfaction of the customers.

The manufacturers, therefore, maintain a staff of skilled engineers and mechanics, who carry
out tests at the customer works, give technical help and advice and see that everything is
functioning properly.

6. PACKING

Packing is nothing but wrapping the product to keep the product very safe. Packing depends
upon the type of product that is to be packed.

Following are the few types of packing of industrial products

1. Paper wrapper

2. Tin container

3. Cloth packing

4. Card Board Packets

48 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

5. Plywood Boxes

6. Plastic packing’s and

7. Wooden packing

Packing also has an important role in the sale of product. With the help of good packing, the
products can reach to the customer in same form and quality as they were before despatch.
Good packing also helps in advertising and attracts more number of customers.

7. WAREHOUSE

These are the go-downs, for storing finished products after they are packed in a systematic
manner. These are built in such a way that materials can be kept in them for a period till they
are sold. For easy transportation, these are generally situated near the factory main gate.

SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENT

In ANAAMALAIS TOYOTA, Body & Paint department is the most specialised department.

BODY & PAINT DEPARTMENT

Role of this department is to water wash every vehicle which are supposed to be deliver in that
particular day. They also work in extra fitting dept.

 I was narrated from how a vehicle is brought into the organisation to how it is serviced
and delivered back to the customer to their fullest satisfaction.
 I was taught about the job order (RO) and estimation
 Then I was narrated how an invoice can be generated from CTDMS software for a
vehicle.
 The invoices consisted of two sections-Labour and Parts and their corresponding CGST
and SGST.
 In labour, there are charges like tinkering, painting charges, mechanical, electrical, A/C
labour charges, VAS (Value Added Service), washing and other charges.

49 | P a g e

 In parts, there are charges like parts TGP, TGP accessories, parts oil, sealant, parts
others and paint material.

Three Important Benefits of Regular Car Servicing:

When your car is overdue for a service but you are too busy or short on cash, sometimes you
may choose to let the vehicle run for a few hundred miles before bringing it in the repair shop.
However, you should know that it is in your best interest to get your vehicle an oil change as
soon as it’s time. If you wish to keep the performance of your car at an optimal level and extend
the life of the engine, don’t wait to take your car in.

Boosts your safety

One of the primary reasons for having your car serviced is to ensure that it is safe for driving.
Getting a regular oil change is vital, and during that time the mechanics should also perform a
routine check to make sure there are no other underlying issues that may arise while you drive.
This includes checking the brakes, your air and cabin filters, and the air pressure in your tires.
If they discover an issue that needs immediate attention, you will be glad you took your vehicle
in for servicing rather than continuing to drive a potentially dangerous car.

Maintains the value of your vehicle

There is a noticeable difference between a well-maintained car and one that appears neglected.
If you plan on using the car’s trade-in value sometime in your future when purchasing a new
car, how well you took care if it, not just aesthetically, will be taken into consideration. If you
have taken good care of the car, it will have a high market value and you’ll get a better trade-
in value rather than just scrap parts.

50 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

Lowers your running costs

Any experienced motorist can appreciate the value of car maintenance. They understand that
if problems are diagnosed and rectified on time, it can save a lot of money, time, and most
importantly, stress! Getting your vehicle regularly serviced means you won’t be running it
down like so many other motorists do. Running on low fuel, running on tires with little to no
treading, running with no coolant – these are things that can and will increase the amount of
money you put into your car over time.

fluctuation can be minimized to keep constant speed as much as possible.

FREE-WHEELING

 As soon as you see the red signal in the eco drive indicator, release the accelerator
quickly.
 Release the accelerator as soon as possible so that the car runs on inertia as far as
possible.
 Slow down by releasing the accelerator instead of brake.
 Apply the brake only at the last stage.

SAP:

SAP is the world’s largest enterprise applications software company - as measured by


software and service-related revenue - with 172,000 customers around the globe. Unlike many
of its competitors, SAP has mostly grown organically and has just a few significant acquisitions
under its belt. Much of SAP’s customer base consists of very large enterprise accounts.
However, they have made significant gains in the small and medium enterprise (SME) market
with their Business All-in-One, Business by design and Business One product lines.

SAP offers a wide range of enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications including customer
relationship management (CRM), financial management, human capital management, product
lifecycle management, and supply chain management. They also have a large network of

81 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

partners (i.e. the SAP Ecosystem) that provide unique integration and customization offerings
for specific markets. For example, Et Alia has developed CREW All-in-One for the
construction industry, which is built on SAP Business All-in-One.

In addition to its ERP products, SAP offers several business analytics applications as part of
its Business Objects product line. Business Objects is one of SAP’s more notable acquisitions
which was announced back in 2007. This acquisition pushed SAP into the business intelligence
(BI) leaders circle with IBM, Oracle and Microsoft. They are reinforcing their position with
recent innovations such as SAP HANA, their in-memory technology that allows organizations
to run queries from multiple data sources in real time. Click on one of the links below to learn

SAP is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software by the same name of the company.
SAP is a German acronym which is spelled in English as “Systems, Applications and Products
in data processing”. The best place to study SAP is through its certification programs. The SAP
website (SAP Software Solutions | Business Applications and Technology) gives complete
details of it. You can browse to your country and find the registered training institutes. There
are various modules of SAP. You may choose any module as per your expertise and plan a
training.

An ERP is simply a logical representation of the business which is centrally connected, helps
in doing the necessary transactions and real time reporting.

For example, suppose you are working with Amex and Amex has various divisions. e.g. Risk
Analysis, Accounts Payables, Sales & Marketing, CRM, etc. If there is an ERP (SAP), it will
have the necessary ‘specific’ screens to capture the transactions happening in various
departments and the access is also restricted. i.e. A CRM person cannot access the Risk
Analysis screen, etc. And when your MD or MIS team wants to review the performance at various
levels, they can simply pull out various reports of the transactions happened in various functions.

To conclude, with the help of an ERP, the organizational teams are able to work independently,
with the necessary access controls and approvals and finally the management is able to
consolidate and integrate organizational performance reporting.

To add to the following, SAP is divided into different modules which are ideally specific to a
business function. e.g. SD module for Sales & Distribution (Logistics), MM (Materials
Management) for Purchase & Stores, CRM module for Customer Relationship Management,
and many more modules are available which you can easily get on SAP and other related
websites. There is a BI/BO tool of SAP which is specifically used for analysis. These are
standard packages meaning it does not need coding to configure. This is called the functional
part of SAP.

You can do customization in SAP through a language called ABAP. This requires coding
knowledge. This is called the technical part of SAP.

SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT analysis is a useful method to know about the company performance, drawbacks,

88 | P a g e
Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Department of Commerce
Care for Environment of Anaamalais Agencies Pvt Ltd

Toyota’s global hierarchical organizational structure prevents maximum flexibility of


regional operations. Also, the company’s culture of secrecy is a weakness that reduces
response times in addressing emerging problems. In addition, Toyota implemented massive
product recalls starting in 2009. These recalls weaken the firm because the recall processes
consume business capacity that could be used for product distribution instead. This part of
the SWOT analysis shows that Toyota could improve its performance through adjustments
to reduce the weaknesses based on its organizational structure and culture.

OPPORTUNITIES

Toyota’s opportunities are mainly based on technological and economic trends. This element
of the SWOT analysis model identifies the external strategic factors that the firm could use

Developing markets present the opportunity for Toyota to increase revenues by further
penetrating these markets. Also, the current trends of increasing demand and interest for
higher fuel efficiency and advanced electronics present the opportunity for Toyota to focus
its innovation on these directions. In addition, the weaker Japanese Yen versus the U.S. Dollar
means higher competitiveness of products and components exported from Japan to the U.S.
This part of the SWOT analysis shows that Toyota must emphasize market penetration and
innovation to exploit its opportunities.

THREATS

The threats to Toyota’s business are based mainly on the competitive landscape. This element
of the SWOT analysis model determines the external strategic factors that could reduce the
firm’s performance. In Toyota’s case, the main threats are as follows:

1. Passenger health and safety issues

Toyota faces the threat of competition with low-cost automobiles from Korean, Chinese and
Indian manufacturers, which have been increasing their presence in foreign markets. Toyota
also experiences the threat of rapid innovation of competitors like GM, Honda, and Ford.
This part of the SWOT analysis shows that Toyota must ensure competitive advantage, such
as through innovation.

Recommendations based on Toyota’s SWOT Analysis

Toyota’s SWOT analysis identifies key issues, such as the effects of competition and the
company’s weaknesses based on its organizational structure and culture. To address the
threats based on competition, Toyota needs to maximize its competitive advantage based on
its innovative capabilities. The company can also further adjust its culture and structure to
optimize its flexibility in decision-making and problem solving.

(b) CASE STUDY

Client Name: Toyota

Toyota decides to replace business-critical systems with open source business applications

Toyota chooses open source and 1Tech

This case study describes how one of the world’s most successful companies selected an open
source solution to replace the core systems at Toyota (GB) PLC and chose 1Tech to advise on
and realise its implementation. Toyota GB had begun the initial phase of a long-term
transformation programme which aimed to replace all key systems within the context of a wider
strategy developed in conjunction with IBM Global Services.

Toyota and IBM identified open taps (open source enterprise applications suite) as the potential
strategic platform on which to build their systems and 1Tech as Europe’s leading open taps
specialist.

1Tech was initially engaged to justify the selection of opentaps and were given the challenge
of developing a working prototype of a system which would allow Toyota and Lexus dealers
to manage customers, configure vehicles, produce quotations, take and submit orders and
analyse activities and sales. The challenge was in the deadline, which 1Tech met by developing
and demonstrating the application in just several weeks.

Toyota (GB) PLC is part of Toyota Motor Corporation the world’s seventh largest company
and the second largest global car manufacturer. Importer and distributor for Toyota and Lexus
vehicles in the UK, the company is responsible for sales, marketing, after sales and customer
relations across its entire UK network of 200 Toyota Centres. 1Tech has been working with
Toyota GB plc for a number of years on Information Systems solutions that span the company’s
business applications portfolio.

PROBLEM

Each year, Toyota offers its worldwide marketing subsidiaries a range of vehicles with some
20 million configuration options. Each subsidiary can additionally market a range of locally
fitted options ranging from specialist upholstery and trim through to in-car entertainment and
navigation systems. From the options available, Toyota GB must create the range which is
most likely to succeed in the UK market.

Toyota GB provides a full range of service options, including customisation, which must be
supported by a production-like workflow, and the supply of spare parts across the full lifecycle
of each model.

To operate successfully, the company must be able to understand trends within the marketplace
and respond swiftly to opportunities and challenges. The objective was therefore to develop
systems which would support the decision-making process by integrating market intelligence,
sales (and lost sales) information and service requirements with brand development, range
definition and pricing. The complexity is in the sheer number of permutations available.

Such an objective cannot be attained overnight. It is not just a matter of replacing systems;
whilst that is not simple, the biggest challenge was in managing the business change which
accompanied it.

To meet these challenges, Toyota developed a progressive approach which would allow each
major component to be specified, implemented, verified and adopted before moving on to the
next. This supported the need for a sound business change strategy, but had significant
ramifications for the implementation of the systems themselves as each new or replaced

111 | P a g e

business application had to be absorbed by the user community whilst its predecessor and
supporting legacy applications remained operational behind the scenes.

It is vitally important that such an approach is driven by the business architecture so that
dependencies between components are recognised by the sequence of implementation. At the
core of the Toyota business architecture is the product lifecycle, around which all business
critical systems revolve. The development of a product model and support for Product
Lifecycle Management (PLM) was therefore the first priority. Having demonstrated the
capabilities of both open taps and its team, 1Tech were engaged to advise on and implement
Product Lifecycle Management, working with in-house legacy system teams to develop a
homogeneous solution.

SOLUTION

 Provide Product Lifecycle Management expertise to ensure that the architectural


approach will stand the test of time

 Develop a Product Model which is sufficiently flexible to support not only today’s
needs but also undefined future product strategies and the potential for ultimate
integration with external systems, whether in-house or elsewhere in the supply chain
 Demonstrate the suitability of opentaps as the long term strategic solution in terms of
functionality, architecture and development environment
 Understand user requirements in detail and define a software architecture to support
them by using standard opentaps entities and services with extensions and
customisations where necessary
 Design a user experience model which is intuitive and easy to use despite the underlying
complexity of product configuration
 Rapidly implement and test instances of all legacy system interfaces by means of
prototyping to ‘derisk’ the strategy
 Integrate the open source software open taps through implementing additional support
where needed to enable the applications to be deployed on Toyota’s strategic technical
architecture:

o DB2 (RDBMS)
o IBM WebSphere Application Server (Application Server)
o IBM WebSphere ESB 6.1 (SOA Enterprise Service Bus)
o IBM HTTP Server (Web Server)
o Linux OS
 Integrate the 1Tech implementation team with Toyota legacy teams, development
processes and programme management
 Accurately estimate the costs and effort required to achieve the solution
 Provide project management and architectural expertise to ensure the delivery of a
sound solution within budgeted costs and timescales
 Provide a full range of support services both during and after implementation

RESULT

 Tracing of a ‘concrete' product model based on vehicles, engines, colour, trim etc. to a
new, abstract, ISO-compliant, recursive product-part structure with the ability to
specify configuration ‘rules'

 Construction of a software architecture fully mapped to Toyota's business architecture


and legacy data model using UML models
 Construction of a prototype to prove all systems interfaces within the first two weeks
of the project
 Implementation of the Product Model in open taps, using and extending core open taps
entities
 Product maintenance using standard open taps services
 Integration with Legacy Systems via an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), using open taps
as the source of product data maintenance for the legacy systems with failsafe
mechanisms to ensure consistency of data
 Integration of 1Tech's assured Open Source Integration Methodology (1TechOSIM)
based on RUP with Toyota's Information Systems Methodology (ISM), Information
Systems Project Methodology (ISPM), and Development Process (RUP) to achieve
seamless interaction between 1Tech an in house teams
 Based on Toyota's exposure to 1Tech's approach and skills from an early stage, 1Tech
were additionally engaged to advise on, refine and integrate all related Toyota processes

and techniques. This is described in a separate Case Study, See Case Study Toyota
invest in 1Tech's process engineering expertise
 Implementation of a sound, flexible product model on which to build subsequent
components and applications
 No licence fees and the implementation of core functionality using standard
components, as well as out-of-the box administrative functions, led to the cost of the
new development being a fraction of the expected overall project costs

CONCLUSION

1Tech not only demonstrated the ability to deliver industrial strength, business critical
applications to a major and complex enterprise, but also to work within and contribute to a
disciplined, quality-oriented organization.

As a result, the strategy has created much interest within Toyota’s worldwide community and
we anticipate a long-term involvement in helping this already immensely successful
organisation continue to build on its capabilities and commercial achievements.
