lOMoARcPSD|44080849

Satisfaction is a person‘s feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting


from a comparing perceived performance in relation to his or her
expectation. If the performance falls short of expectation, the consumer
is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the
consumer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectation, the
customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

The study widely concentrates on the level of satisfaction amongst


customers for which I did Research to check the satisfaction level
amongst the customers of Suzuki Gixxer & Access 125. This research
was conducted in the Malegaon city. This research was done during the
months of March-April. Hence the data displayed has been collected
during the before mentioned period.

To meet the research objectives, following activities have been


performed.

 An extensive search of relevant literature from news articles,


internet, books. This step guided the development of the methods
and instruments for collecting data.

HISTORY
Malegaon is located on the Mumbai-Agra national highway (N.H.03) at
the confluence of the Mausam and Girna rivers. Situated on the road
linking Mumbai and Agra — now National Highway No 3 — it used to
be a small junction known as Maliwadi (hamlet of gardens). It quickly
gained the reputation for being a source of employment in 1740 when a
local jahagirdar, Naro Shankar Raje Bahadur, started building a fort in
the area. As the fort took 25 years, a sizeable number of Muslim workers
and artisans from places like Surat and northern India settled in the area.
After the British capture of the Malegaon fort in 1818, Muslims from
Hyderabad migrated to the region. The 1857 revolt saw many Muslims
from the north locate themselves here, and the pattern kept repeating
itself over the years. Malegaon, with its growing Muslim presence,
became something of a shelter and a source of employment for the
community whenever it faced reversals. If famine in 1862 forced
Muslim weavers in the Varanasi area to move to Malegaon, the political

lOMoARcPSD|44080849

upheavals in the Hyderabad of the late 1940s and 1950s saw a similar
exodus to the town. Communal riots, specially from the 1960s onward,
have also undoubtedly contributed to swelling the number of Muslim
migrants to Malegaon.

INDUSRTY AND ECONOMY

Malegaon is major hub for cloth weaving using early twentieth century
power looms. The era of power looms in Malegaon emerged after 1935.
Malegaon was a traditional handloom-weaving centre in Maharashtra.
Most of the preparatory work before weaving like starching the yarn,
transferring it over the tubes, preparing tanabana was done by the
women. Even after power looms were introduced, women continued to
help their menfolk in the weaving procedure.
With the introduction of power looms, the cloth industry in Malegaon
flourished due to increased productivity. Many people bought power
looms and very few were left with handlooms.It has an estimated 3 lakh
power looms producing about 1 crore (10 million) meters of cloth every
day. It attracts workers from various part of India, majority of migrants
from U.P., Khandesh and Deccan, due to lower cost of living and
Muslim dominance.
Malegaon of late has been diversifying and new industries are rapidly
expanding. PVC pipe manufacturing is one such industry. Malegaon is
soon becoming a regional centre for PVC pipes.
In recent times,The power loom industry is going through difficult phase
due to various factors like fluctuating government policies, frequent
electricity outage, lack of political will, middleman at every stage and
reluctance to migrate to advanced machines.[4] Though it is still a major
source of employment, most of workers struggle to make a living. As a
result, the city has observed a change in migration pattern wherein the
worker prefer to move to Metros compared to Malegaon for better and
stable job opportunities.

SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES GLOBAL HISTORY

In 1909 Michio Suzuki founds the Suzuki Loom Company in


Hamamatsu, Japan. He builds industrial looms for the thriving Japanese
silk industry. 1937 To diversify activities, the company experiments
with several interesting small car prototypes, but none go into
production because the Japanese government declares civilian
automobiles ―non-essential commodities‖ at the onset of WWII.

In 1952 when due to financial problems Suzuki ventured into developing


clip on engines to bicycle frames. The first model was called the Power
Free (36cc) and the follow-up model was the Diamond Free (60cc).
Suzuki produced its first motorcycle in 1954 called the Colleda (90cc).
Suzuki built small capacity bikes during the 50s and 60s and had only
small export success until the introduction of the X6 (T20 super six),
which gave Suzuki much name credibility. In 1962Using MZ‘s
technology, Suzuki wins the newly created 50cc class in the World
Championship.

The company will win the class every year until ‘67, and win the 125cc
class twice in that period, too. With a well-established name Suzuki
dared enter the big bike market and in 1967 Suzuki introduced T500.
Which was known as the Titan in America and the Cobra in England?

The name changed over the years to GT500 due to many improvements
but it was purely the sharp price and good reliability, which kept the GT
in production until 1977.

SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES INDIAN HISTORY

Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt., Ltd. engages in manufacturing two


wheelers. The company‘s products include motorcycles and scooters. It
offers its products through a network of dealers. The company was
incorporated in 1997 and is based in Gurgaon, India. Suzuki Motorcycle
India Pvt., Ltd. operates as the subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corp.

Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), a global giant of motorcycle


manufacturing is headquartered in Japan. It holds major stake in its
Indian subsidiary, Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIL).
SMIL was set up after Suzuki's re-entry into the Indian two-wheeler
market after it severed ties with partner TVS in 2000-01. Suzuki was
then the technology provider in the erstwhile joint venture company
TVS Suzuki.

Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd (SMIPL) is the latest entry into the
already crowded Indian two-wheeler segment with players like Hero
Honda, Bajaj Auto, Honda, and TVS. SMIPL have started their Indian
operations with a 125-cc mass-market motorcycle. It has made an initial
investment of Rs. 200 crores to start their Indian operations.

Company sources have revealed that Suzuki would follow up this 125cc
bike with a high performance 150-cc sibling sometime next year. And
for the budget segment, another 100cc bike is expected in the first
quarter of 2006. Mass market is the initial aim with plans to enter all the
segments rapidly. They have their facilities located in Gurgaon.

Suzuki had launched bike by diwali, which is the auspicious time for
buying a new vehicle in Indian families. Their setup in Gurgaon has the
capabilities of manufacturing one lakh motorcycles and they are ready to
step that up massively if the situation arises. They already have setup 40
dealerships around the country and are going to establish 4,000-5,000
sq.ft showroom and service stations to provide services to the customers.

INTRODUCTION

Satisfaction is a person‘s feelings of pleasure or disappointment


resulting from comparing a product‘s perceived performance (or
outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. Whether the buyer is
satisfied after purchase depends on the offer‘s performance in relation to
the buyer‘s expectations. If the performance falls short of the
expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the
expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds
expectations the customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

A company would be wise to measure customer satisfaction regularly


because one key to customer retention is customer satisfaction. A highly
satisfied customer generally stays loyal longer, buys more as the
company introduces new products and upgrades existing products, talks
favorably about the company and its products, pays less attention to
competing brands and is less sensitive to price, offers product or service
ideas to the company, and costs less to serve than new customers
because transactions are routine.

When customers rate their satisfaction with an element of the company‘s


performance - say, delivery. It could mean early delivery, on-time

Downloaded by Manju Bv (manjubv0431@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|44080849

delivery, order completeness, and so on. The company must also realize
that two customers can report being ―highly satisfied‖ for different
reasons. One may be easily satisfied most of the time and the other
might be hard to please but was pleased on this occasion. A number of
methods exist to measure customer satisfaction.

Periodic surveys can track customer satisfaction directly. Respondents


can also be asked additional questions to measure repurchase intention
and the likelihood or willingness to recommend the company and brand
to others. Companies that do achieve high customer satisfaction ratings
make sure their target market knows it. For customer centered
companies, customer satisfaction is both a goal and a marketing tool.
Although the customer-centered firm seeks to create high customer
satisfaction, that is not its ultimate goal.

If the company increases customer satisfaction by lowering its price or


increasing its services, the result may be lower profits. The company
might be able to increase its profitability by means other than increased
satisfaction (for example, by improving manufacturing processes or
investing more on R&D). Also, the company has many stakeholders,
including employees, dealers, suppliers and stock holders.
Spending more to increase customer satisfaction might divert funds
from increasing the satisfaction of other ―partners‖. Ultimately, the

Downloaded by Manju Bv (manjubv0431@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|44080849

company must operate on the philosophy that it is trying to deliver a


high level of customer satisfaction subject to delivering acceptable levels
of satisfaction to the other stakeholders, given its total resources.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP

It's a well known fact that no business can exist without customers. In
the business of Website design, it's important to work closely with your
customers to make sure the site or system you create for them is as close
to their requirements as you can manage. Because it's critical that you
form a close working relationship with your client, customer service is
of vital importance. What follows are a selection of tips that will make
your clients feel valued, wanted and loved.

1.ENCOURAGE FACE-TO-FACE DEALINGS:

This is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a
customer. If you're not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-
wracking experience. Rest assured, though, it does get easier over time.
It's important to meet your customers face to face at least once or even
twice during the course of a project. Suzuki believes that if a potential
client spends over half the meeting doing the talking, you're well on
your way to a sale. In SMPIL always face to face dealing with customer

2. RESPOND TO MESSAGES PROMPTLY & KEEP YOUR


CLIENTS INFORMED:

Downloaded by Manju Bv (manjubv0431@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|44080849

This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait
message and you'll contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if
days for a response to an email or phone call. It might not always be
practical to deal with all customers' queries within the space of a few
hours, but at least email or call them back and let them know you've
received their you're not able to solve a problem right away, let the
customer know you're working on it.
Suzuki always listen customer problem and solve his queries and always
have communication with customer.

3. BE FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE:

It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel
like you're their friend and you're there to help them out. There will be
times when you want to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a
blunt object - it happens to all of us. It's vital that you keep a clear head,
respond to your clients' wishes as best you can, and at all times remain
polite and courteous.

In Suzuki showroom all workers are trained and well behave with
customer. Suzuki showroom‘s staff very friendly with clients.

4.HAVE A CLEARLY-DEFINED CUSTOMER SERVICE


POLICY:

Downloaded by Manju Bv (manjubv0431@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|44080849

This may not be too important when you're just starting out, but a clearly
defined customer service policy is going to save you a lot of time and
effort in the long run. If a customer has a problem, what should they do?
If the first option doesn't work, then what? Should they contact different
people for billing and technical enquiries? If they're not satisfied with
any aspect of your customer service, who should they tell?

There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from
person to person, or not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know
exactly what to do at each stage of their enquiry should be of utmost
importance. So make sure your customer service policy is present on
your site -- and anywhere else it may be useful.
In Suzuki all terms & conditions are clearly mentioned so that no doubt
in customer mind

5. ATTENTION TO DETAIL (ALSO KNOWN AS 'THE LITTLE


NICETIES'):

Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company
you were a client of? Have you ever had a personalized sign-up
confirmation email for a service that you could tell was typed from
scratch? These little niceties can be time consuming and aren't always
cost effective, but remember to do them.

Downloaded by Manju Bv (manjubv0431@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|44080849

Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your


customers, it's something. It shows you care; it shows there are real
people on the other end of that screen or telephone; and most
importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed, wanted and valued.

Suzuki has keep detail of all customers and make them happy on
specific occasion.

6. ANTICIPATE YOUR CLIENT'S NEEDS & GO OUT OF YOUR


WAY TO HELP THEM OUT:

Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this


supreme level of understanding with your clients will do wonders for
your working relationship.

Suzuki always tries to know about customer needs and make the product
according to them.

7. HONOUR YOUR PROMISES:

It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple
message: when you promise something, deliver. The most common
examplehere is project delivery dates.Clients don't like to be
disappointed. Sometimes, something may not get done, or you might
miss a deadline through no fault of your own. Projects can be late,
technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time.

two or more choice.

LIMITATIONS

 This research is geographically restricted to Malegaon city


only. Hence the result cannot be extrapolated to other places.
 The study is restricted only to the organized sector of two
wheeler industry
 The seriousness of the respondents and their ability to justify
their answers may also be a limitation.
 The sample size is small .
 Findings are based on sample survey.
 All interview questions were direct. Hence there is a scope for
the respondents to be biased or pretentious.
 During the survey most of the respondents contacted had newly
purchased the motorcycle thus they could not respond
accurately i.e. their satisfaction level and defects in the
motorcycles.
 The research is directly concerned with the study of human
preference and behavior and achieving absolute mathematical
accuracy towards this was not possible.

CONCLUSION

Indian 2-wheeler industry is the second largest in Asia after China. After
the separation with Tvs Motors the main focus of Suzuki has been to
capture the Indian Market through its Product which are Best In terms
Of Style & Design and is trying to achieve more target of which it has
laid down for the coming years its Recent Launched Bikes like Suzuki
Hayabusa, Gixxer / Gixxer SF and Scooter Suzuki Access 125 have
shaken the market leader Like Bajaj, Hero Honda & Honda is giving
them a tough competition & soon going Launch Few More Bikes in the
market. But in a country like India where customer generally appreciates
mileage it becomes necessary for a company like Suzuki which produces
Bikes whose prices are towards the higher end to focus on other factors
to which influence the consumer choice of Product like Prices, after sale
services and many more.

After deep research, analysis and getting information about customer of


Suzuki Access 125 as formulated that Suzuki Access has success in the
market and people satisfied this product.
