In October 1946, Soichiro Honda established the Honda Technical Research Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan, to develop and produce small 2-cycle motorbike engines. Two years later, Honda Motor Company, Ltd. was born, and in 1959 Honda opened its first storefront in Los Angeles with six industrious employees.

As a young man, Hondas founder, Soichiro Honda (17 November 1906 5 August 1991) had an interest in automobiles. He worked as a mechanic at the Art Shokai garage, where he tuned cars and entered them in races.. After attending engineering school without graduating, and visiting factories around Japan to better understand Toyotas quality control processes, by 1941 Honda was able to massproduce piston rings acceptable to Toyota, using an automated process that could employ even unskilled wartime laborers.

Honda Motor Company is a Japanese company producing automobiles and motorcycles. Honda is the largest engine producer in the world in terms of units as well. The firm was the eighth largest automaker in the world in 2011. Impact of design Design-in suppliers developing parts which have a high inter-relationship in fit or function with other parts may be asked to participate as a guest engineer. Suppliers' engineers actually work at Honda R&D facilities hand-in-hand with Honda engineers from the very early stage of development. The Guest Engineer program helps Honda's local procurement efforts and spurs the development of new technologies by both suppliers and Honda. By doing this they can retain their customers Production started in 1953 with H-type engine (prior to motorcycle). Honda power equipment reached record sales in 2007 with 6,4 million units. By 2010 (Fiscal year ended 31 March) this figure had decreased to 4,7 million units. Cumulative production of power products has exceeded 85 million units (as of September 2008).

Q 2 Quality Policy

Commitment to provide high quality motorcycles & parts Right work in first attempt and on time Maintain and continuously improve quality Training of manpower and acquisition of latest technology Safe, clean and healthy environment Market leadership and prosperity for all

Because of the established international nature of the purchasing function, Honda is committed to maintain free trade, treating all suppliers equally regardless of size, location, or national origin. From this international environment, Honda has developed and maintains a basic purchasing policy that can be described using the following principle: Honda will buy from the most competitive suppliers in order to fulfill customer satisfaction. Customer Satisfaction This principle is based on the idea that Honda's suppliers are not simply selling their parts to us, they are selling their parts to our customers through us. We expect each supplier to develop the same commitment and dedication to customer satisfaction as we have. To accomplish customer satisfaction, what Honda requires of suppliers is competitiveness in what we call Q.C.D.D.M. 1. Quality Quality is the most important factor in ensuring customer satisfaction. We believe quality must be built into the product during the production process. Quality cannot be assured in the final inspection process. It is the responsibility of each supplier and each individual worker to ensure quality. A commitment by the supplier at every level from the top management to the individual worker is essential to continually improve quality.

2. Cost Competition in the parts supply industry has become very strong in recent years. Honda is determined to provide products at competitive prices and value for the money. Suppliers are expected to achieve target cost through their ideas, technologies, improved productivity, plus joint efforts with Honda in VE/VA (Value Engineering/Value Analysis) activities. We require suppliers' continuous efforts to reduce cost year by year.

3. Delivery Honda employs the just-in-time production system. In order to respond quickly to our customer's needs, it is becoming more and more critical to produce products with the shortest possible lead-time. Adopting just-in-time lean production will raise supplier's competitiveness in cost and quality. 4. Development In responding to ever-changing customer demands, and to provide high quality yet cost competitive products, Honda relies heavily on established suppliers as a source for development and improvement of technology. In the course of development, emphasis will be put on uniqueness. We believe uniqueness in design or specification is a part of competitiveness. It is this uniqueness that makes up the identify of our products. Suppliers are expected to have ability to realize such demand of uniqueness through their technology and know-how in development in a timely manner with high cost performance. 5. Management

It is important for a supplier's management team to be strongly customeroriented and to provide effective leadership for the entire company that expects to fulfill Q.C.D.D. Such management effort promotes mutual trust between the supplier and Honda. Supplier Participation in Development q 5 Design-In As Honda is heavily dependent on the outsourcing of parts, design-in activities are crucial to successful development and production. Design-in is a process in which engineers from suppliers work together with our engineers in the early stage of the vehicle development, in order to better utilize the suppliers' expertise which will help us to develop the best design in the shortest timeframe.

In prototype development, suppliers are expected to follow the development cycle, identified below, until a mutual agreement between both parties is reached on the best design. Of course the time requirement of each development event must be strictly met. Thus we can identify any potential problems and take necessary countermeasures long before reaching the production stage.

To participate in the Design-in program, both of the following conditions must be met. 1. Parts An example of parts that we consider suitable for this program is a part in which the suppliers' technology/know-how can best be utilized in the earliest stages of development. 2. Suppliers Suppliers we choose to work together with in this program are those evaluated and selected in the light of the criteria of competitiveness, "Q.C.D.D.M." described above.
