dig up important information as to Total Quality Management of Honda Atlas. We floated the

Questionnaires among all the employees from top to bottom. They participated actively in our survey

for their own company’s goodwill. One of the attendants appreciated our survey owing to it rests on the

significance of quality for a multinational organization.

Moreover, we have used a lot of other resources to enrich our research. We delved into different books

as to Total Quality Management for Large Organizations. Also, we exploited the consumption of internet

so as to augment our research as to Honda International.

Six basic concepts of Total Quality Management:

Tqm requires six basic concepts:

1.  A committed and involved management to provide long term top to bottom organizational

support.

2.  An unwavering focus on the customer, both internally and externally.

3.  Effective involvement and utilization of the entire work force

4.  Continuous improvement of the business and production process.

profit shares as well as designing, development ideas and costs are bear by Honda

motor company Japan ltd. In all over the world, engines of almost of all kinds of 

product Honda is a “giant” manufactures in the engine industry. Honda produces boats

and generators also.

Honda atlas cars company Pakistan limited is really well known motor vehicle company.

We found no contradiction when we compare the statement of Honda staff with general

dealers and customers.

Honda atlas cars, especially consumer’s cars, sells due to brand name of  Honda. So

Honda is enjoying a sound reputation in the market. Honda cars regarded as # 1 due to

high quality engines and several other features. Whereas, the most efficient cars (diesel

cars) are being produced by Honda’s important competitor “Toyota”. 

Honda has contributed a lot in gas efficient cars, by introducing the Honda civic hybrid,

stand at # 2 after the Toyota in gas efficient cars. The prices of the few models of 

Honda atlas cars are lower as compared to the prices of their competitors.

Honda atlas cars maintains quality standards. Most of the depreciation is computerized.

Products are manufactured according to scientific standards.

Honda atlas cars gives priority to consumer satisfaction and it is the constant endeavor 

of the Honda atlas cars of Pakistan is to

1: What is TQM:

TQM is a management approach to long-term success, through achieving complete

customer satisfaction. TQM is the complete approach to improve organizational

performance and effectiveness. "A way of life for an organization as a whole, committed

to total customer satisfaction through continuous process of improvement, and the

contribution and involvement of people" TQM is a participative management style that

stresses total staff commitment to "customer satisfaction". TQM is the part management

organized for the use of creating and implementing a continuous improvement process

that constantly improves on the organization's effectiveness and also their efficiency.

The main responsibility of quality lies not on the workers but on the management on all

levels.

2: Implication of TQM in Industry:

Success of TQM depends on how well a company evaluates the processes, products,

and the markets of today to try and find out what the customer of tomorrow wants. It has

been evident from past marketplaces that companies show more support to short-term

interests that even if they do have a long-term strategy if often lacks commitment from

top management.

Implementation and the success of TQM can be seen clearly using the example of 

Honda. Many other Japanese car manufacturers have also followed pursuit. When

trying to implement TQM it requires both behavioral and cultural change. A successful

TQM brings together management, behavioral and cultural commitment to customer 

quality.

Approaches to Implementing TQM: 

There are three approaches to implementing TQM.

Firstly there is the "concept of management". This basically fine tunes andrevitalizes management in producing bottom line products or services resulting

hopefully in customer satisfaction. With this approach management and individuals of 

the organization are usually operating at fairly effective levels and have already taken

the idea of TQM aboard. Kawamoto CEO of Honda implemented TQM with the advice

from the founder of the company, Soichiro. When TQM was implemented at Honda

production lines were reconfigured to speed the process and allow greater flexibility.

Engineers were expected to create designs that could be manufactured more efficiently.

Honda's new strategy, which the CEO describes as "customer focused", has increased

sales and improved profit.

The second approach can be seen as a "system of management". This approach is

used when TQM is already in place but needs to be brought up to speed. The basic

area of this approach is to decide conflict, decision-making, meeting management as

well as traditional areas of measurement and continuous learning. With this approach

the Q-STEP is used. The Q-STEP simplifies quality into five basic competencies.

Q-Quality Maximization,

S-Skill Maximization,

T-Team Participation,

E-Excellence for customers,

P-Prevention of waste.

The Q-STEP works with existing culture and takes advantage of current "good

practices".

The final approach is usually the most common and is also the cause of most failure.

This approach usually aims mainly at changing behavior not culture that drives or 

supports that behavior. TQM has in the past failed however there here have been many

reasons why, but the most common are

1. Lack of management commitment- executives may demand TQM because they

may see it as purely a cost-cutting strategy.

2. Poor timing and pacing-organizations sometimes implement TQM when there is

no compelling need.

3. Wasted education and training- TQM can fail because organizations are not

committed enough on the training of the individual.

4. Lack of TQM concepts being implemented such as Just in Time, Quality Circles

and Lean manufacturing.

It is a management concept that could help weakening organizations achieves both a

competitive advantage over others, as well as increasing sales, customer satisfaction

and profit levels; similarly TQM can help a successful company build a better 

relationship with its customers, supply base and inevitably increase its bottom line. Theprincipal emphasis of modern business with its products and services is quality. The

total quality management (TQM) approach is summarized as gradually enhancing

the product and/or service quality. The focus is to “get things right first time, all of the

time”. In the long run, the cost of this approach will be less than rectifying quality failures

after they have been found. It reflects that TQM relies on the inputs of management,

workers, suppliers, and even customers, so as to match these with customer 

requirements. In TQM, all manufacturing and business transactions are involved in a

continuous process of quality enhancement. Nowadays, TQM has extended from the

statistical monitoring of manufacturing processes to customer-oriented processes of 

service improvement. It emphasizes providing high-quality products or services

consistently.

motorcycles annually. By 2006 this figure had reduced to around 550,000 but was still

higher than its three domestic competitors

During the 1960s, when it was a small manufacturer, Honda broke out of the Japanese

motorcycle market and began exporting to the U.S. Working with the advertising

agency Grey Advertising, Honda created an innovative marketing campaign, using the

slogan "You meet the nicest people on a Honda. This campaign suggested that Honda

motorcycles were made for the everyman. The campaign was hugely successful; the

ads ran for three years, and by the end of 1963 alone, Honda had sold 90,000

Aggressively ensuring quality in both design and manufacturing

Working in partnership with suppliers, Honda is involved in a companywide effort to

deliver products with a new level of enhanced quality. To ensure high quality, Honda

conducts aggressive quality assurance activities from the dual perspectives of design

and manufacturing

1. Assuring quality through drawings

Honda's R&D departments create drawings for maximum ease of manufacture in order 

to limit process variability and prevent human error during the manufacturing process.

These drawings serve as the basis of our quality assurance efforts. Specifically,

engineers utilize a database of measures and techniques for preventing past market

quality issues and other information as they communicate closely with manufacturing

departments during the initial development stage.

HONDA (Automobile Industry) 2013

Group #2

H.Zeeshan Aslam Page 16

2. Assuring quality through production processes

Honda's production departments establish manufacturing control items and standards

for each part, process, and work task based on designers' intentions in order to prevent

product quality issues. Engineers then use these manufacturing control items and

standards to verify manufacturing variability as they work to prevent quality issues.

3. Assuring part quality through supplier audits

 Assuring the quality of procured parts is an important element in delivering high-quality

products. Honda visits its suppliers' manufacturing facilities to conduct quality audits

based on the

"Three Reality Principle," which emphasizes "going to the actual place," "knowing the

actual situation," and "being realistic." These audit activities are conducted for both the

production preparation and mass-production stages of supplier operations. Experts in

the development and production of individual parts visit manufacturing facilities and

conduct audits of suppliers' quality systems and their implementation.

Honda then works to improve part quality through activities that emphasize

communication with suppliers, for example by sharing audit results and cooperating to

discover measures for improving quality.

Using second-generation line end testers (LETs) to inspect electronic control

systems

Use of electronic control systems in vehicles has grown dramatically in recent years as

part of an effort to achieve more environmentally friendly designs and improve driver 

and passenger convenience and comfort, creating a need for efficient inspection

methods to assure the quality of these components.

To this end, Honda has installed line end testers (LETs), an inspection and diagnostic

system developed in-house, at production plants in Japan and overseas.
