TQM @ TVS
TQM was launched at TVS in 1989 TVSs adaptation of TQM rests on five pillars
Policy deployment Involving every person at the company Kaizen or continuous improvement Standardization of processes New product development

The five pillars start with policy management, which is used to arrive at the annual breakthrough objectives. There are generally not more than three company objectives, arrived at after a detailed exercise, which are deployed and reviewed periodically. The company conducts an exhaustive range of training programs, utilising both in-house skills and consultants from all over the world. The programs are conducted for all employees, at all levels

to direct foot traffic, arrows are painted on the shiny shop floor Large banners with exhortations such as Let Us Achieve Zero Defects and Quality is a Way of Life hang across the company Figures were conveyed to employees through charts displayed in the factory Tea breaks are 9:15 to 9:22 and 14:15 to 14:22 every hour productivity is displayed, created a feedback loop

picking up cigarette butts from the factory floor employees were encouraged to offer suggestions for improvement. Awards are given for the best suggestion. Results are displayed for everyone to see in order to hold the gains requires a high degree of understanding between employees and management,

Roles of each employee are now clarified and targets clearly assigned. product design through collaborative efforts with customers

Total Employee Involvement


companys TQM program is the tremendous emphasis that is laid on Total Employee Involvement (TEI) The company tries to obtain TEI basically through: 1. Suggestions scheme 2. Quality Circle activities 3. Cross Functional Teams (CFTs), 4. Supervisory improvement Teams (SITs), 5. Task forces three kinds of responsibilities which are shared by three levels (a) Retainment (i.e. Retaining the performance levels achieved) (b) Improvement and (c) Breakthroughs

New Product dovelopment

developed and launched various motorcycles based on the needs of Indian customer such as fuel efficiency, ridecomfort and handling. So through innovations such as power economy mode, synchronised suspension and VT-i engine technology based on lean burn and friction reduction,

Daily work management

Daily work management consists of defining and monitoring key processes, ensuring that they meet set targets, detecting abnormalities and preventing their recurrence. TVS Motor encourages continuous improvement in all aspects of work, using Cross Functional Teams (CFT), Supervisory Improvement Teams (SIT) Quality Control Circles (QCC) and suggestion schemes

Change after TQM

In nearly two decades. Productivity, quality and sales have improved dramatically Rate of re-work 15%=> 100 parts per million 4 deliveries a month to customers =>two daily now. TVS rolled out its first 20 models in 21 years but it has produced 16new products in the past five years alone Keep 10 weeks of inventory => 2 weeks now One employee work on one machine => employees are trained to operate different machines The company was ranked second in overall customer satisfaction

6 layers of management. With little co-operation or communication between divisions, most meetings were full of fault-finding and finger pointing.=>> different teams collaborated on design of new motorcycles ,so staff from R&D worked jointly with production and assembly.
