FACILITY LOCATION
1. Proximity To Market
Business executives
Politicians
Landlords
3. Infrastructure
Some 62% of the parts used in Honda Cars are imported. Since the
factory of HACPL is at a distance of more than 1,000 km from the
part, this results in higher transportation cost for inputs. Indus
company, the major competitor of HACPL, has an edge in this respect
since it is located in Karachi.

These along with some other sections are arranged in four groups,
each one headed by a Gm. For Example, there is one GM for welding,
paint and maintenance.
Plant Capacity
Currently the plant has the capacity of 35 vehicles per day which is
lower than that of Toyota. As for as the production level is concerned, it
varies from time to time.
It was 15 cars per day when I visited the factory. This shows that
the plant is being underutilized. There may be several reasons for this
under-utilization such as:
Machinery:
Boilers
Compressors
Two-post lifts
Important Parts:
Various parts of engine
Brakes
Seats
Lights
Cooling System
Tyres
Rims
Fuel tank
Production Process:

Final coat
After applying these test, the car is driven an a 1-km "test course".
Here the noise and performance of car an different road conditions
are tested. Finally, a "shower test" is applied to find leakages if
any.

Shortage Of Inputs
There are special warehouse for the purpose. Both imported and
local parts are stored here. The boxes of parts are placed at approximate
distance and fork lifts can easily move within the warehouse. The
results in convenient movement of parts from warehouse to assembly
line etc.

Material Management
Material management concerns short-range decisions about
supplies, inventories, production level, staffing patterns, schedules &
distribution is as follows:
Purchasing:
HACPL imports materials from the parent Honda Motor Co, Japan
in the CKD (complete Knocked Disk) form.
Supplier Selection:
On time delivery
These are the reasons which forces HACPL to go for local
contracting.
Supplier Relations:

Customer Satisfaction:
HACPL’s employees try at their level best in satisfying the

contribution of Marketing & Production department is very important in
this regard. These departments continuously go for the ways to improve
the features of existing HACPL’s products and hence satisfying the
customers.

Continuous Improvement:
The Management of HACPL has a view of continuous
improvement in order for the better Utilization of resources and
improving Honda brand image in the market. HACPL is trying at its
level best to introduce and implement better quality control procedures,
redesigning the production process, automating the whole plant etc.
Employees involvement is playing vital role in this regard.
