INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

 

Domestic automobile market had a mixed year in 2011-12 with only select vehicles reaching the expected industry growth estimates. Overall the market grew by 14%. Though the Passenger Car and Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MandHCV) showed a sluggish growth during the year due to continuously increasing interest rates, the gap was made up by the growth in other categories like Small Commercial Vehicles and Light Commercial Vehicles.

 

 

INDUSTRY GROWTH

 

DOMESTIC MARKET

 

The stable growth in the domestic market necessitated the Company to optimize and scale up the operations. The Company was well prepared to meet the increase in demand and achieved an overall growth of 9.05%. An unexpected labour unrest at one of their customer’s manufacturing locations significantly impacted Seat Belt Division?s projections causing a marginal decline in revenues.

 

EXPORTS

 

The overall economic activity marginally improved in the United States in the year 2011. SGD earned Rs. 96.41 crores from the export sales, up 7.27 % compared with the last year.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

In the fiscal year ended March 2012, the combined net sales from steering gear division (SGD) and seat belt division (SBD) businesses stood at Rs. 619.62 crores, a growth 8.76% over the previous year, and the Profit Before Tax was Rs. 72.67 crores, a marginal increase of 0.78% over the previous year. The sales from the new products generated 25.23% of the total sales, a decline of 10.10% over the previous year.

 

The Company continued to focus on operational efficiencies to improve productivity and implemented cost control measures through innovative practices at the shop floor level to sustain growth and record profitability for the year under review. In this context, the Company is considering outsourcing non-core operations to increase efficiency of operations and reduce costs. Impact of volatile foreign currency exchange rates and high interest costs were managed through effective hedging of foreign currency exposures and sourcing low cost funds.

 

 

OPERATIONS AND MANUFACTURING REVIEW

 

The Total Quality Management (TQM) is a way of life in the Company and is embedded in the core organizational functioning. 'Customer delight through total quality' is the prime motto of the Company. Excellence in quality is achieved through continuous quality improvement with TQM, Lean Production Systems (LPS), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Kaizen, QC story, 7 QC tools, Pokayoke and the Statistical tools. SBD has implemented the comprehensive Poka-yoke for its assembly line covering minute and specific details of the operations. The Company has recognized that Total Employee Involvement (TEI) is key to remain successful in TQM process. The Quality Circles and Cross Functional Teams (CFT) have helped to resolve issues pertaining to manufacturing and quality. The best employee suggestions and practices are shared across the functions. In the year under review the number of suggestions received per employee improved, resulting in generating an average 3.25 projects compared to 3.1 projects in the previous year. Active efforts are undertaken to indigenously construct plant and machinery with locally available resources. Value Analysis (VA)/Value Engineering (VE) techniques are rigorously practiced in the manufacturing to achieve the desired cost structure. The Company takes rigorous efforts to customize and build plant and machineries using domestic materials to reduce the capex requirements. In the year under review, SBD successfully integrated Right Hand Side and Left Hand Side assembly lines into one single assembly line that is capable of processing both the Right Hand Side and Left Hand Side seat belts at the same time. This achievement has resulted in higher productivity and operational efficiency.

 

The awards and certifications received is a testimony for its eminence in manufacturing and quality, which includes the coveted JQM and Ford Q1 awards.

 

'The Japan Quality Medal, 2011' was received by RTSSL on 9th November 2011 at the JUSE (Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers) at Tokyo, Japan. This award is the highest honour in recognition for excellence in Business through best quality of management by the Company. RTSSL is 21st Company globally to receive this award since the inception 1970; 3rd in India and first in Rane Group.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The growth in domestic automotive industry, especially in passenger car and commercial vehicle categories could be adversely affected in the short term. In the medium term, the Company anticipates the demand to moderately increase for hydraulic power steering (HPS) and safety seat belt. The Company is capable of scaling up the operations to fulfil volumes.

 

RTSSL is proactively working on new product development anticipating future markets and requirements of customers. SGD is considering applications of electrical technology for hydraulic power steering systems (EPHS). EPHS systems have distinct advantages of both electrical mpower steering systems (EPS) and hydraulic power steering systems (HPS) into one integrated unit. SBD is developing new technologies for applications in Pre-tensioner belts, Child Restraint Seat Belts and Seat Integrated seat belts.

 

The demand from OEM market is expected to continue to drive sales of hydraulic power steering and safety seat belt. RTSSL is fully capable of scaling up operations to meet demand for hydraulic power steering and safety seat belt.

 

Fuel efficiency, better driving comfort, enhanced vehicle control and low noise level are the basic features expected of the new generation vehicles which will also be the focus of the Company?s research and development. The Company is well positioned to develop and sell products for the new generation vehicles. The concerns of liquidity, high inflation, weak rupee, volatile oil price and high interest rate may negatively affect the growth sentiments of the auto industry. The company is well placed to evaluate these conditions and to address any specific issue affecting the growth.
