Kaizen is based on the concept of making incremental improvements in our products. It incorporates a series of continuous small and simple improvements, which aim at involving employees at all levels.
The Suggestion Scheme is based on the same principle. Under this scheme, employees are encouraged to make suggestions for improvement in any area of our operation. Over 50,000 suggestions are received from employees every year.

Maruti has won the First place in "Excellence in Suggestion Scheme Contest 2003", which is the 6th consecutive award won in as many years. This contest is organized by Indian National Suggestion Schemes Association (INSSAN). Since 1998 Maruti has won this award 10 times.


"Quality Circles" are groups of five to eight members from a particular work area who work as a team to identify priorities and solve work related problems in the area.

We believe that it is this unwavering commitment to quality that will lead to the further growth of the organization as competition increases.

TS 16949:2002

A new feather was added recently in Maruti’s cap in the field of quality when the Quality Management System of its Press Shop & associated functions (collectively termed as Press Function) got certification for conformance to the requirements of TS16949:2002 standard.

The need for TS certification of Press Function had its genesis in the prestigious project that Maruti earned for the supply of stamped panels to General Motors India for one of its forthcoming models.

As a part of Quality system requirements, GM requires all its suppliers to be certified to either ISO TS 16949 or QS 9000.



These standards address Quality System requirements, which are particularly specific to the automotive industry and requires an organization to be in compliance with ISO 9000 systems as a basic requirement. However, whereas QS 9000 would become defunct and cease to exist after Dec 2006, TS 16949 is going to be the standard of the future.

The TS 16949 standard, brought out by ISO in the year 1999, is an extension of the ISO 9001:2000 standard that prescribes Quality management system requirements that are specifically applicable to the automotive industry.

TS 16949 has gained high popularity and almost all major automobile players across the globe including GM, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Nissan, Honda are embracing & promoting it.
