Over the years, Ashok Leyland vehicles have built a reputation for

reliability and ruggedness. This was mainly due to the product design legacy

carried from British Leyland.

Ashok Leyland had collaboration with the Japanese companyHino

Motorsfrom whom the technology for the H-series engines was bought. Many

indigenous versions of H-series engine were developed with 4 and 6 cylinder and

also conforming to BS2 and BS3 emission norms in India. These engines proved to

be extremely popular with the customers primarily for their excellent fuel

efficiency.

In 1987, the overseas holding byLand Rover Leyland International

Holdings Limited(LRLIH) was taken over by a joint venture between the Hinduja

Group, the Non-Resident Indian transnational group andIVECOFiatSPA, part of

theFiat Groupand Europe's leading truck manufacturer. Ashok Leylands long-

term plan to become a global player by benchmarking global standards of

technology and quality was soon firmed up.

Access to international technology and a US$200 million investment

programme created a state-of-the-art manufacturing base to roll out international

class products. This resulted in Ashok Leyland launching the 'Cargo' range of

trucks based on EuropeanFord Cargotrucks. These vehicles used IVECO engines

and for the first time had factory-fitted cabs. Though the Cargo trucks are no

longer in production and the use of IVECO engine was discontinued, the cab

continues to be used on the 'comet' range of trucks.

INDUSTRY PROILE

Automobile Industry encompasses commercial vehicles, passenger cars, two

wheelers, three wheelers and auto components. The Indian automotive industry is

characterized by strong competition between increasingly quality conscious

manufacturers a large, highly skilled but low cost manufacturer base makes

partnering linkages with overseas players attractive. However the industry needs to

continue to increase quality standards. And to develop new products to competeglobally, many domestic manufacturers have already successfully entered into

collaborations and others are actively seeking to do so.

Following liberalization and opening up of the domestic automobile industry

in the early 1990`s India has developed as one of the key emerging automotive

hubs for both components and vehicles. India has achieved tremendous growth

over last decade, providing a very favorable environment for those looking a

investing in the automotive industry.

There are over 350 major players in the auto components sector. Most of them

are evenly distributed in the north, south and western parts of India. The Indian

automotive and components industry is looking to increase the quality of

production from existing levels, to develop new products and to be significant

activity in the Indian Automobile Industry. Domestically, overall growth continues

to be positive all segments with CVs and two wheelers leading the way.

1.1 INDIAN HEAVY VEHICLE COMPANIES

The Indian heavy vehicle companies have registered stupendous growth over

the last decades. The astronomical growth of the Indian heavy vehicles companies

can be attributed to the opening of the Indian economy to the International

investors. Many entities have ventured into heavy vehicle sector and there is

increase in the no. of players. The industry has registered a double figure growth

consistently over the last few years except during 2008-2009 during global

economy meltdown.

The last decade and half witnessed a number of collaborations by Indian

companies with big international players in this segment with the growth of Indian

economy and subsequent industrialization, there has been a sudden spurt in the

above mentioned sector has propelled the need for vehicle heavy was meant to

fulfill the meager need of the domestic global hub for the manufacturer of heavy

vehicles.

Most of the foreign companies have collaborated with major Indian players in this

sector are leveraging upon India`s cheap and effective labour force and exporting

heavy vehicles to destinations all around the world, Indian heavy vehicles have

been offering world class products to millions of customers across the world. The

lean manufacturing process has resulted in the lowering of prices of heavy vehicles

across the global. Consequently, more and more money is being pumped in R&D

of more fuel efficient and environment friendly vehicles.

its product offers into construction equipment, following a joint venture with John

Deere. Newly formed in June 2009, the John Deere partnership is a 50/50 split

between the companies. The company says negotiation is progressing on land

acquisition, and the production plans are in place. The venture is scheduled to start

rolling out wheel loaders and backhoe loaders in October 2010

successfully developed a 6-cylinder, 6-litre (370 cu in) 92 kW (123 hp) BS-4

engine which uses Hythane (H-CNG,) which is a blend of natural gas and around

20% of hydrogen. Hydrogen helps improve the efficiency of the engine but the

CNG aspect makes sure that emissions are at a controlled level. A 4-cylinder 4-

litre (240 cu in) 63 kW (84 hp) engine is also being developed for H-CNG blend in

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH

Research means acquiring the new knowledge from the event. A Research is

the specification of methods and procedures for acquiring the information.

MEANING OF RESEARCH

According to Clifford woody research comprises defining and redefining

problem, formulation hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing, andevaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusion; and at last carefully

testing the determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.

The term Research refers to critical, careful and exhaustive investigation or inquiry

or experimentation or examination having as its aim the revision of accepted

conclusion, in the light of newly discovered facts.

ROBERT ROSS defines Research is essentially an investigation, a recording

and an analysis of evidence for the purpose of gaining knowledge.

MEANING OF METHODOLOGY

The term Methodology refers to the procedure by which researchers go about

their work of describing and predicting phenomena are called methodology.

Methodology is defined as the study of methods by which we gain knowledge,

it deals with the cognitive process imposed on research by problem arising from

the nature of its subject matter.

RESEARCH DESIGN

A research design is purely and simply the framework or plan for a study that

guides the collection and analysis of the data. The function of research design is to

ensure that the required data are collected accurately and economically.

The research design used in the study was descriptive research design. The

descriptive study portrays the characteristics of a group or an individual or

situation.

TYPES OF RESEARCH

Descriptive research

Correlation research

Explanatory research

Exploratory research

Descriptive research attempts to describe systematically a situation,

problems, phenomenon, service or programmer, or provides information

about, say, living Condition of a community, or describes attitudes

towards an issue.

Correlation research attempts to discover or establish the existence of a

relationship/interdependence between two or more aspects of a situation.

Explanatory research attempts to clarify why and how there is a

relationship between two or more aspects of a situation or phenomenon.

Exploratory research is undertaken to explore an area where little is

known or to investigate the possibilities of undertaking a particular

research study (feasibility study/pilot study). In practice most studies are

a combination of the first three categories


29/107

NATURE OF RESEARCH

Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and

characteristics about the population or phenomenon studied. Descriptive research

answer the questions who, what, where, when, how.

Although the data descriptive is factual, accurate, and systematic, the

research cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive research cannot

be used to create a casual relationship, where one variable affects another. In other

words, descriptive research can be said to have a low requirement for internal

validity.

DATA COLLECTION METHOD

Based on the nature and purpose of study there are various modes of data

collection. Data source can be classified into two categories namely primary data

and secondary data.

PRIMARY DATA

The primary data are collected from structured form of questionnaire. The

questionnaire consists of multiple choices, dichotomous and ranking type of

questions.

SECONDARY DATA

Secondary datas are in the form of finished products as they have already

been treated statistically in some form or other. The secondary data mainly consist

of data and information collected from records, company websites and also

discussion with the management of the organization. Secondary data was also

collected from journals, magazines and books.

DATA COLLECTION

As the study is related to the human resources area, the core data required

for the study is collected from the primary source. For this purpose survey method

has been used.

SAMPLING

The respondents for the study throughout the area of organization, which is

very difficult for the researcher to conduct the entire respondent. Hence sampling

technique has been used to select the respondents from the sample universe.

SAMPLE SIZE

The sample size has been taken and it has been decided to restrict the

sample size to 50.

PRE-TESTING

The prepared questionnaires were distributed among the employees of thedifferent department to find out the difficulties faced by them, in understanding

clarity, reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Pre-testing was also done

throughpersonnel interview with the employees.

SAMPLING DESIGN

It is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers

to the techniques or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for

the sample.


31/107

31

SAMPLING METHOD

A convenient sampling method has been adopted of the study.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

To collect the primary data structured undisguised questionnaire was framed

covering various aspect of the study. The questionnaire contained the closed ended

questions. The questionnaire consists of 30 questions related to the health, safety

and welfare as per the factories act 1948.

PILOT STUDY

Pre-testing of questionnaire was carried out to check the correctness of the

questionnaire.

STATISTICAL TOOLS

The data collected from 50 employees were analyzed and interpreted using

the following statistical tool

Percentage analysis method.

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS METHOD

Percentage can be used to compare the relative items (i.e.) the distribution of

two or more data series of data.

SUGGESTIONS

Dust/fumes and hot air should be properly generated in the workshops

to maintain healthy condition.

Washing facilities should be improved by the company.

Highly nutritious food should be provided to the employees.

Canteen and work place is very unhygienic. They can be maintained in good

conditions as there is enough staff with the organization to ensure

cleanliness.

Administration, personnel and other departments which are inside the

building should be made air-conditioned to improve the efficiency of the

employees working there.
