Executive summary
Honda cars India ltd. (HCIL) is a subsidiary of the Honda of Japan for the production,
marketing and export of passenger cars in India. Formerly known as Honda Siel Cars India
Ltd, it began operations in 1995 as a joint venture between Honda Motor Company and Usha
International of Siddhartha Shriram Group.
The replenishment functionality is meant to help you acquire a basic overview of inventory
levels, along with expected supplies over time. This plays a major role in providing an
accurate delivery date for multiple items. You may make calculations of the item price for
specific clients.
Apart from that, basic measurements can be set up. This includes:
Maximum items in the stock
 Minimum items in the stock
 Delivery time
 Order package amounts or the number of items required for regular delivery
“Inventory management is a science primarily about specifying the shape and placement of
stocked goods. It is required at different locations within a facility or within many locations
of a supply network to precede the regular and planned course of production and stock of
materials.”
I study the supply chain of the company and after that collect the sales data and analysis its
In graphical form grand chart etc. and find out which zone sales is more where open a
regional stock yard because its help both customer and company basically RSY help to
reduced lead time of manufacture to customer
"Goods and Services Tax" would be a comprehensive indirect tax on manufacture, sale and
consumption of goods and services throughout India, to replace taxes levied by
the central and state governments. Goods and Services Tax would be levied and collected at
each stage of sale or purchase of goods or services based on the input tax credit method.
Study about positive impact of GST
 Bigger consolidation of demand at warehouses
 Reduced variation in demand at warehouses
 Improved inventory management
 Improved demand planning
 Reduced production complexity (less changeovers)
 Reduction in number of echelons in supply chain.
 Increase in truck load utilization (especially in primary freighting)
 Reduced cost for improving service level
The RSY would help the company reduced the time frame in distributing the vehicles to the
dealers and bring in more efficiency. At present it took at least 8-10 days to send vehicles
from Greater Noida

Introduction
Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) is a subsidiary of the Honda of Japan for the production,
marketing and export of passenger cars in India. Formerly known as Honda Siel Cars India
Ltd, it began operations in 1995 as a joint venture between Honda Motor Company and Usha
International of Siddharth Shriram Group.In August, 2012, Honda bought out Usha
International's entire 3.16 percent stake for ₹1.8 billion in the joint venture. The company
officially changed its name to Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) and became a 100% subsidiary
of Honda.
It operates production facilities at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh and
at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan. The company's total investment in its production facilities in India
as of 2010 was over ₹16.2 billion.
HCIL's first manufacturing unit at Greater Noida commenced operations in 1997. Setup at an
initial investment of over 4.5 billion, the plant is spread over 150 acres (0.61 km2). The
initial capacity of the plant was 30,000 cars per annum, which was thereafter increased to
50,000 cars on a two-shift basis. The capacity has further been enhanced to 100,000 units
annually as of 2008. This expansion led to an increase in the covered area in the plant from
107,000 m² to over 130,000 m².
Honda set up its second plant in India at tapukara in alwar district of Rajasthan, spread over
450 acres with an investment of RS 3526 cores.
The company invested 7.8 billion in Bhiwadi for its second production plant with an annual
production capacity of 50,000 units. It operates under the ISO 9001 standard for quality

and Honda Accord which are produced at the Greater Noida facility with an indigenization
level of 80%, 77%, 76%, 74% and 28% respectively. The CR-V is imported from Japan as
Completely Built Units.
Honda’s models are strongly associated with advanced design and technology, apart from its
established qualities of durability, reliability

12. [12]
Challenges being faced by Honda plant in India
The Thailand floods in November last year, disrupted Honda’s supply chain to some of its
key manufacturing facilities including its greater Noida plant in Delhi, as result of which
production volumes its passenger vehicles, including the refusing new Brio hatch have
experienced a major setback. However with the situation having now improved. Honda SIEL
cars India ltd. has now announced that it will resume normal production in gr. Noida plant
with two shift operations.
New challenges in 2011, Honda started to face new challenges in the form of increased
competition for and decreasing sales of all of its models sold in India from 2011. Some of
new competitors who entered the Indian automobile market started to post stiff competition
to the company and overtook it in some product segments where it had been a leader. In
2011, VW’S Vento replaced Honda city as top selling mid-size sedan in the India market
within 8 month of its launch.
TECHNOLOGY
HSPP benefits from the rich experience of Honda Motors, Japan, the second largest engine
manufacturer in the world, because of their strong emphasis on R&D and in-house technical
innovation. India’s first LPG based Generator along with the Super Silent Key Start
Generator portable kerosene generators are some of the products which exemplify Honda’s
pursuit of technological excellence. The product range of Generators conforms to the most
stringent phase II Noise & Emission norms as laid down by the Central Pollution Control
Board (CPCB), Government of India.
CERTIFICATION
It was in recognition of this that HSPP became the first power products manufacturing
company in India to have been awarded the ISO 9001:2000 Certifications for its Quality
Assurance Systems & ISO 14001 for its Environment Management Systems.
While maintaining its leadership position in the domestic generator market, HSPP, is making
active efforts in developing new applications for its General-Purpose Engines (GPE). The
business of GPE and Water Pump sets is expected to contribute significantly to the
company’s future growth plans. Besides, it also offers the customers in India a wide range of
end-use appliances such as Electric and Engine Lawnmowers.

4. Facility/location

24. [24]
Work Description:-
Stock management
Stock management is the function of understanding the stock mix of a company and the
different demand on that stock. The demands are influenced by both external and
internal factors and are balanced by the creation of purchase order requests to keep supplies at
a reasonable or prescribed level.
Stock management in the retail supply chain follows the following sequence:
1. Request for new stock from stores to head office
2. Head office issues purchase orders to the vendor
3. Vendor ships the goods
4. Warehouse receives the goods
5. Warehouse stocks and distributes to the stores
6. Stores receive the goods
7. Goods are sold to customers at the stores
The management of the inventory in the supply chain involves managing the physical
quantities as well as the costing of the goods as it flows through the supply chain.
In managing the cost prices of the goods throughout the supply chain, several costing
methods are employed:
1. Retail method
2. Weighted Average Price method
3. FIFO (First In First Out) method
4. LIFO (Last In First Out) method

 Service measure is a big concern.
Objectives of the Research
 To study the supply chain of Honda cars.
 To study the Honda cars RSY.
 To study how to select RSY.
 To study the zone wise sales of Honda cars.
 To study which models are more sales in which zone
 To study the benefits of GST in supply chain.
Data sources
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and a research
design has been checked out. While deciding about the methods of data collection, the
researcher should keep in the mind two types of data:-
 Primary data
 Secondary data
Primary data are those data which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus happen to be
original in the character.
Primary research involves the collection of original primary data by researchers. It is often
undertaken after researchers have gained some insight into an issue by reviewing secondary
research or by analyzing previously collected primary data.
The secondary data on the other hand, are those which have already been collected by
someone else and which have already been passing through the statistical process.
Data analysis and interpretation
Data analysis is an important part in any of the research as it fulfils the purpose for which
research is mode. In this part of my study the analysis of data is done from the basis of
information collected through the sales with the help of table and graphs.

Regional stock yard concept start in Honda car India ltd in May 2016. Honda cars first
Regional stock yard has been set up in Tamil Nadu and the stock yards would have a
capacity to stock 410 vehicles. In south amaze and city cars models are more sales.
Stock yard are structures that enclose an area to livestock within for a particular purpose
keep. Stock yards are built and used for a wide variety of purposes. Such purposes may
include loading out (for sales) or receiving (from purchases), for care (such as trimming
hooves, veterinary care, drenching, injecting etc), and stock take (counting). Stock yards can
be built of different materials, but usually would be of wood, wood and wire or metal
(reinforced steel) construction.
Stock yard is an act of storing the finished goods/cars so as to create maximum time utility at
minimum cost.
RSY means open the stock yards according to zone. The intention is to set up a least one
stock yard in each of the zone. Such a concept is important for vast country just like an India
and will reduce the waiting period for the customers.
Very often there is a mismatch between the variant and colour of a particular car that a
customer wants and the car that is available at the dealership. Setting up RSY will increasing
the availability of the car and reduced time of transports.
The concept of YMS holds a lot of potential and is fast establishing its roots in the country.
“Though the yard management is relatively new concept in it is now very well accepted. Ups
and downs in business cycles, seasonal fluctuations differences in demand and supplies, huge
variety, pressure to meet customer demand and severe competition have focused OEMs to
adopt the yard management concept gone after the pre delivery inspection were immediately
send to the customer and were rarely parked at the plant. Whether it is steel stock yard or auto
car sales stock yards, anticipating customer ‘demand sophisticated yard management is
gaining traction some companies manage their yard on their own and some are outsourcing to
3PLs”
The biggest challenges for the yard management in India are investment in real estates. Huge
land space in an easy to access location, close to highways and dust free area is needed.
Advantage of RSY
1) Speedy rolling of funding
2) Inventory planning
3) Lead time reduction
4) speedy deliver to the customer
5) Dealer stock reduction

36. [36]
Disadvantage of RSY
1) Increasing the cost of storing
2) Increasing the transportation cost
3) RSY Cars not back to plant yard.
4) Sell only RSY zone.
GST (goods and service tax)
What is goods and services tax?
GST is an evolution of the current tax regime, transforming the complex and cascading
structure into a unified value added system of taxation. Under value added tax would be levied
at every point of supply chain providing for credit for any / all taxes paid previously.
Keeping in line with the governance structure of the country GST would be levied
simultaneous by the centre and states (CGST AND SGCT respectively). All essential
characteristics in term of its structure, design applicability, etc would be common between
CGST AND SGST, across all states.
GST is expected to replace most of the current applicable indirect taxes as listed in the table
below.
TAXES SUBSUMED UNDER GST
Central taxes states taxes
1) Central excise duty 1) VAT/sales tax
2) Service tax 2) entertainment tax
3) Additional customs duty 3) entry tax
4) Surcharge and cesses 4) other tax and duties
Need of GST
 India needs GST to get rid of problems with the direct taxes. As multiple taxes like
CANVAT, central sales tax, states sales tax, octroi, etc. will not exist and will be
replaced by GST, and improve tax compliances.
 The complexity in determining the nature of transition, the inability of states to levy
tax on services, lack of uniformity in provision and rates, complexities in
administration, all could be withdrawn to an extent with the implementation of GST.
 More than 150 countries have adopted GST as it has the potential to raise revenue
with more transparency and neutrality.

37. [37]
There are three prime models of GST
 GST at central(union) government level only
 GST at state government level only
 GST at both, union and states government levels.
There are many positives and some negatives associated with this reduction in supply chain
Complexity.
Positives
 Bigger consolidation of demand at warehouses
 Reduced variation in demand at warehouses
 Improved inventory management
 Improved demand planning
 Reduced production complexity (less changeovers)
 Reduction in number of echelons in supply chain.
 Increase in truck load utilization (especially in primary freighting)
 Reduced cost for improving service level
Negatives
 Route planning becomes a challenge as warehouses have to deal with dealers in a
bigger geography
 Secondary freight cost will increase.
 Truck load utilization will reduce in secondary distribution.
 In lower lead times the service level will experience a little impact.

Impact of GST
Implementation of GST will have significant impact and will change the manner in which
business is carried out in comparison with the ways of the current tax regime.
With a single rate being applied to all goods and services there will be a significant
redistribution of taxes across all categories resulting in reduction in taxes on manufactured
goods and hence impacting the pricing of the product.
Business implication of GST
Logistics and supply chains will therefore see a major change; sourcing, distribution and
stockyards decisions which are currently planned based on state level tax avoidance
mechanisms instead of operational efficiencies will be reorganized to leverage efficiencies of
scale, location and other factors relevant to the business.
Rationalization of Warehouses and Transport network
GST would eliminate the existing penalties on interstate sales transactions and facilitate
consolidation of vendors and suppliers. This will eliminate the need to have state wise
stockyards to avoid CST and the associated paperwork, leading to elimination of one extra,
redundant level of stockyards in the supply chain. This will result in a reduction in the
number of warehouses improved efficiencies, better control and reduction in inventory due to
lesser numbers of stocking points and cases of stock outs. This would allow a firm to take
advantage of economies of scale and consolidate warehouses at the same time reduce capital
deployed in the business. Larger warehouses can benefit from technological sophistication by
deploying state-of-the-art planning and warehousing systems which are not feasible in
smaller, scattered warehouses.
GST: the cost benefits
Yard management is likely to change considerably once the GST is phased in. the proposed
centralised tax system is widely perceived to quicken the pace of the development of yard
management in the India. This centralised tax will pave the way for largest regional hubs
serving multiple states.
Highlighting the current distribution strategy in the country which is predominantly driven by
complex taxation and not by logistics efficiency, “most of the vehicle distribution is based on
direct delivery from plant to dealers. GST shall result in new distribution network models and
possibly multi OEM automotive yards at key locations in India. These yards shall act as hubs
for regional distribution of smaller consignments of vehicles to nearby dealers.”
“With the implementation of GST, the need to have stock yard in every state is likely to
be mitigated in favour of larger and consolidated regional stock yard at strategic
location. Other cost benefits would include faster ROIs for IT spends. “

 Better inventory management
 More direct billing
 Lesser handling
 Lower compliance costs
Benefits of GST
1) To economy
A study by the national council of applied economic research estimated that roll out of the tax
would boost the GDP growth by anywhere between 0.9-1.7 percent. GST will boost up
economic unification of India. It will assist in better conformity and recover risk factor in
revenue generation and increase its flexibility.
2) To corporate
The industries will benefit the most form the arrival of GST as removal of cascading taxes
makes the manufacturing sector more competitive and reduces the tax compliance burden.
All entry taxes, including octroi will be subsumed in GST form the start. So with no
embedded tax costs on interstate movement of goods under the GST regime, and shift of the
taxation to the consumer ultimately, business would have more flexibility to revise their
supply chains process and thus, optimize logistics costs.

Recommendation and Suggestions
Suggestion
Regional stockyards in new concept for Honda Company but this concept helpful for
company to save time and energy of the company.
I think so Honda setting up a small new regional stock yard in west zone it is also beneficial
for company because in west zone sales of cars are too good. So it’s also help the company to
reduce lead time, it also help the improving working capital rotation of dealer etc.
I think the location of west RSY is suitable nearby Mumbai. Because

Regional stockyards is a combination of two words regional and stockyards regional means
locations and stockyards means Stock yard are structures that enclose an area to livestock
within for a particular purpose keep. Regional stockyards means set up stockyards according
to zone wise it is important for vast country just like India and it helpful for customer because
it reduced waiting time of customer.
Honda cars India ltd. decide to set up RSY on the bases of sales data analyses we analyzed
the last year sales data after that we find out which zone sales is more and after that take on
decision for set up stockyard. Before taking a decision of set up stockyards also see the GST
because it plays main role in supply chain of company
I think RSY concept is beneficial for company and customer both because:-
“Normally we send at least 8-10 cars in a trailer. It consuming more time and energy. But by
using the railways we will be able to sends at least 270 or more vehicles in one time to the
stock yards from the manufacturing plant,” in this reason Honda open RSY because it save
time and energy of a company.
The RSY would help the company reduced the time frame in distributing the vehicles to the
dealers and bring in more efficiency. At present it took at least 8-10 days to send vehicles
from Gr. Noida plant for dealer in Chennai but with the setting up of the stockyards, it would
increase the distribution efficiency significantly reducing the time frame in vehicle delivery.
In case Honda cars India ltd. I think Regional stock yards are important because the Honda
cars sales is large in north and south zone the plant of Honda cars is set up in north zone. the
north zone sales are cover GNU Honda plant but in south zone there is no manufacturing
plant of Honda cars in this reason Honda open RSY in south zone. It is beneficial for Honda
company because:
1) It help Speedy rolling of funding
2) It help Inventory planning
3) It help Lead time reduction
4) It help speedy deliver to the customer
5) It help Dealer stock reduction
6) It help Logistics capacity build up
7) It help Improving working capital rotation of dealers
Before the setting up stockyards to know about the GST is very important because GST play
very important role in supply chain design of a company.
The GST system is basically structure to simplify current indirect tax system in India. A well
designed GST is an attractive method to get rid of deformations of the existing process of
multiple taxation.
GST played a major role in deciding the supply chain network design. With the elimination
of CST in GST- tax would not deciding factor on supply chain network design and the
necessary of having stockyards in each states to avoid CST would be eliminated.

43. [43]
With GST regime, the supply chain network design would be purely based on logistics cost
and customer services provides greater flexibility into supply and demand matching.
GST also improves the transit and consequently delivery time because of state border
crossing is likely to be simplified.
“Most of the vehicle distribution is based on direct delivery from plant to dealers. GST shall
result in new distribution network models and possibly multi OEM automotive yards at key
locations in India. These yards shall act as hubs for regional distribution of smaller
consignments of vehicles to nearby dealers.”
