TRANSCRIPT
Dear Friends,
It is indeed an honour for me to
address all members of the
Suppliers’ Club and I thank you all
for choosing me as the President of
the club.
The Honda philosophy has always
been - the joy of Buying, Selling and
Making Honda Cars. As a part of
the supplier fraternity, we are all well versed with the joy of selling
Honda products. I request the active participation of all Suppliers’
Club Members to continue supporting this philosophy.
Last year we had an overwhelming response for all the activities and
for this I would like to thank all members who were an integral part of
this team.
This year we have initiated sub-activities like safety support in
training, besides the ongoing activities of 5S, Quality Circle and
Kaizen, through which we have had contributions from new members.
However, active participation from existing suppliers in the club is a
matter of concern. I sincerely request all senior professionals of the
suppliers fraternity to take greater initiative in various functions of
the Suppliers’ Club.
As Honda Suppliers, we stay committed towards the environment and
its protection. Hence, beginning this year, we will be taking steps to
try & promote water conservation and safety awareness in the club.
I welcome your suggestions.
Warm regards,
Rajeev Sikand,President- Suppliers’ Club(Group CEO- Alicon Castalloy Limited)

Okayama CastleOkayama Castle is a Japanese castle in the city of
Okayama in the Okayama Prefecture in Japan.
Today, only a few parts of Okayama Castle's roof
(including the fish-shaped-gargoyles) are gilded in
gold, but prior to the Battle of Sekigahara the
main keep also featured gilded roof tiles, earning
it the nickname Golden Crow Castle.
Construction of Okayama Castle was started in
1573 by Ukita Naoie and completed by his son
Hideie in 1597. The reconstructed castle is a
concrete building complete with air-conditioning,
elevators and numerous displays documenting the
castle's history.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking
Kaizen TodayKaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. When applied to the workplace, Kaizen activities continually improve all functions of a business, from manufacturing to management and from the CEO to the assembly line workers. By improving standardized activities and processes, Kaizen aims to eliminate waste and ensure continuous improvement and growth.
We had the great privilege of having Mr. Abhishek Sahi from the Honda Cars India Ltd., Geater Noida Plant who devoted time to present/guide & mentor all the participants.
Winners of the quarterQuality Improvement : Behr India Ltd. - Header resting change in-die.
Cost Reduction : Yazaki India Ltd. – To reduce separate master cost for all products.
Productivity Improvement : (1) Alicon Castalloy Ltd. – Core excess Inventory. (2) Honeywell Turbo Tech – Improve Productivity.
EHS : Enkei Wheels India Ltd. – Reduce Energy Cost.
Total 9 Suppliers companies participated & 27 Kaizen were reported.

Quality Circle, Kaizen & 5S Training Review
Every quarter, the training culture at the club has been spreading fast. The involvement and enthusiasm is evident from the news below:
5S to Get Rid of 1 S (sagasu = Search)
ACTIVITYUPDATES
5S originated, and is traditionally used, in manufacturing companies. The latent
power of “5S” has yet to be leveraged by service organizations in their offices. It is
not just another housekeeping technique, but an innovative management practice
that can transform service organizations.
The 5S campaign initiated by Suppliers’ Club has crossed significant milestones. All
the major suppliers from North / South as well as West India Chapter have joined this
movement and together gained from this effort. Regular audits are being conducted
to ensure sustainability of the benefits. Hand holding will be ensured for suppliers
who need to improve their performance in order to reach the minimum target (70%).
Suppliers’ Club has been successfully conducting various activities under guidance of
Honda Cars India Ltd. management and executive committee. The entire supplier
fraternity is getting benefits by sharing best practices amongst each other and there
have been tremendous improvements in the 5S level of many suppliers who have
participated in this activity over the past 8 years. Further to the activity calendar
released by the Suppliers’ Club President on 23rd April’ 2013, this year Honda Cars
India Ltd. has advised to conduct 5S Activity in plant and office area. The proposed
schedule for the 5S Audits/visits for F.Y. 2013-14 is as below:

The group!Mr. Abhishek Sahi from Honda Cars India Ltd. (Greater Noida) discussing
with Club Members
My golfing companion of many years,
now a retired senior bureaucrat,
remarked the other day after hitting an
indifferent shot to the green , “Golf is
only incidental to golf”. There is a deep
meaning attached to the off-the-cuff
comment that he made. What he
meant was there is much more to golf
than hitting a perfect shot. Its an
experience far beyond just playing a
game.
To the uninitiated, golf is a sedentary
sport played by elderly persons with
bags of time at hand. However, to a
purist, it is life and philosophy rolled into
one. Played over 18 holes the main
objective of the game is to take a
minimum number of shots to complete
the round in about 4 hours or so.
The unwritten rule that must be adhered
to all times is punctuality. This is
observed by reaching the golf club well
ahead of the tee-off time- so to an avid
golfer reaching the club on time is
second nature.
Most golf clubs are very particular about
speed of play and impose penalty on
players for slow play. Here the guiding
principle is that whilst you may take over
an hour to drive to reach the golf club;
once play begins the players must
complete each hole without wasting
much time as others are just behind you
and need to finish in time too or else
the whole course would get into a grid
lock.
Showing courtesy to your playing
Lesson#1 – Be Punctual.
Lesson#2-Show due consideration to
others by performing your task on time.
Lesson #3- Established Etiquette/
Rules of the game are the same for all
& must be observed at all times.
companions at the golf course is de
rigueur. Whilst it is common to talk
between shots amongst golfers, but at
the time when a player is about to hit,
silence must be observed. Similarly,
divots must be repaired after hitting a
shot and pitch marks made by your ball
landing on soft green must be
smoothened out. These rules are
universally applied irrespective of the
player’s status.
Golfers while hitting their shots must
ensure safety of other players. Rules are
made such that the person farthest
away from the hole must hit first. It is
the duty of the player playing a shot to
ensure that no one ahead of him gets
injured by his golf ball.
During the game it is very difficult for
others to keep score of the shots taken
by a player to complete the hole. So it
becomes obligatory for a player to
submit the correct score at the end of
the game.
There may be certain days when a golfer
shall be dogged by bad luck. For
example, after executing a perfect shot
by sheer bad luck the ball hits the
sprinkler head and deflects into the
water. Losing his cool over the mishap
will only aggravate matters.
Are there any lessons to be learnt from
playing golf in addressing the current
recession? The recent slowdown of the
Indian economy has made many
companies conscious of the need to
improve competitiveness to stay afloat.
This time, it feels like the impact may be
Lesson # 4 Safety First
Lesson #5- Do onto others what you
expect others to do onto you.
Lesson# 6 -Learn to handle disasters

the acceptance of huge workloads
where people will earn the same salary
but having to work much harder. This
perhaps explains the focus on discipline
( i.e. to accept the responsibilities
instead of looking only for instant
gratification) being an important
ingredient for today’s survival &
tomorrow’s success. Instilling discipline
in its workforce shall lead to significant
improvements in both the productivity

competitive advantage.
I have asked several entrepreneurs in
India one question- what is the number
one problem preventing us from
becoming cost competitive-on par with
China and other Asian tigers? The
answer to the above has been usually
–‘Discipline’. The business leaders
today desire an element which is elusive
in our culture. According to me that
element is discipline. Perhaps applying
the aforementioned lessons learned
from playing golf to impose discipline in
the daily management of the employees
is the right cure to improve
competitiveness.

“Safety Support Program” has been initiated from April 2013 for creating awareness and implementing “Safety in true sense”. It has been derived from the concept of hand holding & mentoring. Methodology for this program is as depicted below-
Safety updates- general –
5 Ss for Slips, Trips and Falls (STFs)
Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are notorious workplace hazards that cause a lot of injuries and add to costs, productivity losses, and worker absences. Strong action should be initiated against STFs with the 5Ss strategies.
It is recommended to adopt an innovative approach for looking at slips, trips, and falls
Part D

New Initiatives planned for 2013-14
in keeping with the 5S Japanese workplace organization system. The five strategies are-
1. SEIRI - Sort. It starts with organizing and straightening the workplace and making sure that aisles and walkways are free of trip and fall hazards.
2. SEITON - Set in order. This involves understanding the efficiency of motion and workflow and ordering steps and movement
3. SEISO - Shine. This refers to eliminating all forms of contamination, such as dirt, fluids, or liquids, which could cause bone-breaking slips.
4. SEIKUTSU - Standardize. Standardizing is about organizing, labeling, and bringing order. It includes the concept of "visual management," which involves the use of signs and other ways to order the work environment and communicate visually
5. SHITSUKE - Sustain. The last strategy is maintaining progress achieved through the other strategies. The goal is to make the improvements systemic and long-lasting.
In addition, following should also be kept under constant surveillance :
• Keep lights clean. When lights are covered with dust and dirt, the light they provide is obscured, which increases the risk of Slip, trip and falls (STF’s).
• Watch for transition points. Study your workplace to become aware of the transition points from concrete to tile, tile to carpet, carpet to marble, etc. If these are a source of STFs, they should be eliminated or altered.
Slips, Trips, and Falls should be approached in a systematic way like other business problems, commensurate with the tremendous risk they present. The need of the hour is to raise the concern immediately as and when any anomaly is found and ensure that countermeasures are implemented to avoid any type of STF’s related injuries or illness.

Safety isn't expensive, its priceless.
My golfing companion of many years,
now a retired senior bureaucrat,
remarked the other day after hitting an
indifferent shot to the green , “Golf is
only incidental to golf”. There is a deep
meaning attached to the off-the-cuff
comment that he made. What he
meant was there is much more to golf
than hitting a perfect shot. Its an
experience far beyond just playing a
game.
To the uninitiated, golf is a sedentary
sport played by elderly persons with
bags of time at hand. However, to a
purist, it is life and philosophy rolled into
one. Played over 18 holes the main
objective of the game is to take a
minimum number of shots to complete
the round in about 4 hours or so.
The unwritten rule that must be adhered
to all times is punctuality. This is
observed by reaching the golf club well
ahead of the tee-off time- so to an avid
golfer reaching the club on time is
second nature.
Most golf clubs are very particular about
speed of play and impose penalty on
players for slow play. Here the guiding
principle is that whilst you may take over
an hour to drive to reach the golf club;
once play begins the players must
complete each hole without wasting
much time as others are just behind you
and need to finish in time too or else
the whole course would get into a grid
lock.
Showing courtesy to your playing
Lesson#1 – Be Punctual.
Lesson#2-Show due consideration to
others by performing your task on time.
Lesson #3- Established Etiquette/
Rules of the game are the same for all
& must be observed at all times.
companions at the golf course is de
rigueur. Whilst it is common to talk
between shots amongst golfers, but at
the time when a player is about to hit,
silence must be observed. Similarly,
divots must be repaired after hitting a
shot and pitch marks made by your ball
landing on soft green must be
smoothened out. These rules are
universally applied irrespective of the
player’s status.
Golfers while hitting their shots must
ensure safety of other players. Rules are
made such that the person farthest
away from the hole must hit first. It is
the duty of the player playing a shot to
ensure that no one ahead of him gets
injured by his golf ball.
During the game it is very difficult for
others to keep score of the shots taken
by a player to complete the hole. So it
becomes obligatory for a player to
submit the correct score at the end of
the game.
There may be certain days when a golfer
shall be dogged by bad luck. For
example, after executing a perfect shot
by sheer bad luck the ball hits the
sprinkler head and deflects into the
water. Losing his cool over the mishap
will only aggravate matters.
Are there any lessons to be learnt from
playing golf in addressing the current
recession? The recent slowdown of the
Indian economy has made many
companies conscious of the need to
improve competitiveness to stay afloat.
This time, it feels like the impact may be
Lesson # 4 Safety First
Lesson #5- Do onto others what you
expect others to do onto you.
Lesson# 6 -Learn to handle disasters

and would like to share it with you all. Hope
you enjoy it.
"It's been said that a smile is the lighting
system of the face, the cooling system of the
head and the heating system of the heart.
But a smile is also a powerful weapon
against toxic attitudes of all kinds.
Lisa Gurnsey, of Portland, Oregon, wrote to
me about a man whose smile quite literally
changed her life: "I was having a horrible day
-- hating my job, tired of the weather, tired of
trying to keep up on bills, and just completely
stressed out. I stopped at the post office in
the morning and, as I was entering, an older
business man commented to me that it was
going to be a good day and life shouldn't be
as bad as I make it look. I glared at him and
simply said, 'I wish it was Friday.'
"I felt better about my day when I left the
post office...that man's smile and comment,
although irritating at first, made me think.
“The second time I ran into the man I
went out of my way to say 'Happy Friday'
to him and to smile. I saw him a few more
times and always he was cheery and
'made my day.'
