7. 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 of its passenger vehicles, including the refreshing new Brio hatch have experienced a
major setback. However with the situation having now improved, Honda Siel Cars India Ltd.
(HSCI) has now announced that it will resume normal production at its Greater Noida plant with
two shift operations.
Delighted at the recommencement of its normal production cycle at the Noida facility, Honda
Siel Cars India Senior Vice-President (Marketing & Sales) Jnaneswar Sen said, “We will have
production of 370 cars per day from the 15th of February and from the following week it will be
ramped up to 440 units per day. Honda has been carefully monitoring the part supply process and
has have taken all the necessary recovery actions to normalize production situation with critical
components now being sourced from Japan & China.”
With its production processes now sorted HSCI’s immediate priority will be to clear most of its
current Brio bookings by March 2012 and have these cars delivered to waiting customers. HSCI
will also be launching a comprehensive communication campaign to communicate the Brio
availability and increase activities at dealerships.
Where model wise production schedules are concerned HSCI has already rolled out more than
1,500 units of the new Honda City in January 2012. Furthermore, the production of its Brio hatch
will resume from mid February 2012, while the production of the Honda Jazz will start towards
the end of February 2012.
We are confident to achieve peak production output in March 2012. We are thankful to our
valued customers for their patience and understanding during these challenging times. Honda has
been carefully monitoring the part supply process and have taken all the necessary recovery
actions to normalize production situation with critical components now being sourced from
Japan & China” , Honda Siel Cars India Senior Vice-President (Marketing & Sales) Jnaneswar
Sen said. “Our top priority at the moment is to reduce the backlog and closely work with our
dealers to ensure prompt deliveries.
