INTRODUCTION

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, Private Limited (HMSI) is the wholly owned
Indian subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, Limited, Japan. Founded in 1999, it
was the fourth Honda automotive venture in India, after Kinetic Honda Motor Ltd
(1984-1998), Hero Honda (1984-2011) and Honda Siel Cars India (1995-
2012). HMSI was established in 1999 at Manesar, District Gurgaon, Haryana.

Currently HMSI has four manufacturing locations at Manesar in Haryana,

Tapukara in Rajasthan, Narsapura, Kolar in Karnataka and Vithalpur, NW of
Ahmedabad.

Scooter -exclusive plant in Gujarat. Its facility in Narsapura is the largest amongst
its four locations and has a capacity of 6,600 vehicles per day. Honda India sales
skyrocketed up to 4.28 million motorcycles and scooters backed by scooterization
of India via bestselling scooter Activa over 350,000 scooter sales in September
2017. Honda scooter Activa sales record expected 3.5million scooters in 2017/18.
Honda motorcycle & scooter started independent operation since 2010s after
separation from Hero Honda motors J/V since 1984. 6million production capacity
establishment within 7 years record in India, Top world motorcycle market.

Honda was built up upon the key faith in the estimation of every person. In light of
our theory, we regard autonomous soul and flexibility, uniformity and shared trust
of individuals who work for or interact with our organization. All things considered
our administration arrangements center around creating and improving the
fundamental qualities that each individual has - ability to think, reason, and in
particular - the capacity to dream. Being the biggest maker of 2wheelers and a
standout amongst the most appreciated organizations on the planet unquestionably
excites us (Drolet, Aimee L., and Donald G. Morrison). In any case, what excites
our partners most is the 'Delight of Creating', one of our missions at Honda, which

advances working for our own particular joy. In the event that you have an energy
for 2-wheelers and have a testing soul, your capacities are more vital to us instead
of which college you go from.

India will be the greatest worldwide market for Honda's bike business by 2015
preceding in the long run representing 30 for each penny of its general piece of the
overall industry (Sealant, Priscilla, and Don A. Dillman). At exhibit, this is 13 for
every penny except the organization is running level out with new item dispatches
as a feature of a forceful development system. The 110cc Dream Yuga cruiser,
divulged at the Auto Expo here on Thursday, will reveal this year for the mass
market, a portion in which Honda's previous accomplice, the Hero gathering, runs
the perch with the Splendor and Passion brands.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
We are using two methodologies: Descriptive design and correlational design.The
process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making business
decisions.The methodology may include publication research, interviews, surveys
and other research techniques, and could include both present and historical
information.Demographics analysis will be done by descriptive design, whereas
customer satisfaction and factors affecting purchase decision will be done by
regression analysis.Demographic analysis is a technique used to develop an
understanding of the age, sex, and racial composition of a population and how it
has changed over time through the basic demographic processes of birth, death,
and migration.For testing the significance of the relationship, we will use
Friedman’s test.The Friedman test is the non-parametric alternative to the one-way
ANOVA with repeated measures. It is used to test for differences between groups
when the dependent variable being measured is ordinal.The mean rank will help us
to find the factors that affect the most in purchase decision.Ranking in statistics. In
statistics, "ranking" refers to the data transformation in which numerical or ordinal
values are replaced by their rank when the data are sorted. For example, the
numerical data 3.4, 5.1, 2.6, 7.3 are observed, the ranks of these data items would
be 2, 3, 1 and 4 respectively.
Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables
of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated
research questions, test hypothesis, and evaluate outcomes. The data collection
component of research is common to all fields of study including physical and
social sciences, humanities, business, etc. Data collection methods can be divided
into two categories: secondary methods of data collection and primary methods of
data collection.The data was collected in two ways: Primary data collection and
Secondary data collection. The primary data are data collected from the original
sources, which were previously unknown. Primary data were collected through

BIMHRD, SBS 12
 Customer Satisfaction Survey on Honda Two Wheelers

personal interaction and online survey.The online survey or questionnaire is

method of data collection where each person is asked same set of question in same
order by researcher.Secondary data collected from various journals, independent
research papers, magazines, newspapers and feedback on various social media
platforms and e-retailers.
This study assumes the characteristics of descriptive. The study is based on primary
data collection. The secondary data was collected from the articles, journals,
newspaper and websites. The study is conducted on the basis of a convenient
sample method for 2 respondents. The sample size comprises of different types of
consumer who are potential users of Two Wheeler like employees, students, and
professional etc.

Research problem

previously stated.

Research design:

 Questionnaire is being prepared and corrected the mistakes in it.

DATA ANALYSIS

The mean rank test was performed to find out the order in which the factors affect
the purchase decision of the customer for the Honda Two Wheeler. We have even
performed test to find the degree of customer satisfaction related to different
characteristics and services of the Honda Two Wheeler. We have used the non-
parametric Friedman test which was performed in SPSS.
The Friedman test is the non-parametric alternative to the one-way ANOVA with
repeated measures. It is used to test for differences between groups when the
dependent variable being measured is ordinal. It can also be used for continuous
data that has violated the assumptions necessary to run the one-way ANOVA with
repeated measures (e.g., data that has marked deviations from normality).
Analysis: Evaluate the following according to their importance that may effect
on your purchase.
We had listed characteristics as Price, Quality, Fuel Efficiency, Comfort,
Specifications, Performance. As per the responses we have performed the
Friedman test in SPSS.

Price 94 39.49% 1

Quality 79 33.19% 2

Performance 18 7.56% 4

Fuel Efficiency 16 6.72% 5
