1.Executive Summary
The project was started under the guidance of Dr.Suneet Saxena , Director Doon Business
School-global. This project was carried out at MRF showroom, Dehradun . The preliminary
objective of the project was to know the satisfaction level of the customers with the MRF
tyres. For this purpose, I have done a survey from the customers and taken their view
regarding why they choose MRF tyres on the basis of some of the attributes such as price of
the tyres, durability, performance, services etc. After interviewing the customers I got to
know about the satisfaction level of the customers regarding the MRF tyres.
2.INTRODUCTION
The main object of every organization is to earn more profit, to achieve this object the
organization should increase its sales by getting more customer and the only way to get more
customer is that the organization should provide expected satisfaction to the customers. Here
the word customer satisfaction means the utility which customer expect from the product
and when a customer get expected utilities it is called as customer satisfaction.
MRF manufactures the largest range of tyres in India and enjoys the highest brand preference
for superior quality, company manufactures the largest range of tyres in India and is the
market leader with the largest market share it tyre industry.
Since 1984 MRF tyres has consistently been chosen as ohm fitment by almost every major
car manufacturer in India apart from tyres MRF also manufacturer conveyor belts, retreads
and advanced polyurethane paints.
Here every customer of MRF is getting satisfaction and it may analyzed by the following
information
6
MRF own No. 1 award for customer satisfaction by J.D Power Asia pacific for 2001&2002
It is also created good brand name in other countries also, and it is the first Indian
company to export tyres to the US, the very birthplace of tyre technology. It is the first
company in India to manufacture and market Nylon tyres passenger tyres commercially.
MRF is providing huge number of products to the customer as per the requirement and
need.
They provide more warranties to the customers and it will shows that the company has
confident on its product.
So as per the above information it found that the customer satisfaction towards MRF tyres
Considering, all above points, I have decided To study the Customers Satisfactiontowards
MRF Tyres in Dehradun
2). To know the attributes which creates customer satisfaction among MRF tyre users in
Dehradun.
10
3). To know the satisfaction level of the customers with the MRF tyres.

The study is purely based on the survey conducted in Dehradun city and has focused on
customers. The study covers the information about the mindset which may varies from
situation& where the respondents may not be able to give required and accurate information.
LIMITATIONS:
1. Due to respondents busy schedules, the interests shown by respondents to answer the
questionnaire may be less. This may have resulted in collecting inaccurate information.
2. Due to time and cost constraint the sample size selected is 50.
3. The selected sample size is small as compared to the total number of customers. Hence the
obtained result may not be accurate as it may not represent the whole population.
abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from
person to person and product/service to product/service. Testate of satisfaction depends on a
number of both psychological and physical variables which correlate with satisfaction
behaviors such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary
depending on other options the customer may have and other products against which the
customer can compare the organizations products. Because satisfaction is basically a
psychological state, care should be taken in the effort of quantitative measurement, although
a large quantity of research in this area has recently been developed. Work done by Berry
(Bart Allen) and Border between 1990 and 1998 defined ten Quality Values which influence
satisfaction behavior, further expanded by Berry in 2002 and known as the ten domains of
satisfaction. These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality Value, Timeliness, Efficiency,
Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-departmental Teamwork ,Front line Service Behaviors,
Commitment to the Customer and Innovation. These factors are emphasized for continuous
improvement and organizational change measurement and are most often utilized to develop
the architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated model. Work done by
Parasuraman, Zenithal and Berry (Leonard L) between 1985 and 1988 provides the basis for
the measurement of customer satisfaction with a service by using the gap between the
customers expectation of performance and their perceived experience of performance. This
provides the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative in nature.
Work done by Cronin and Taylor propose the "confirmation/disconfirmation" theory of
combining the "gap" described by Parasuraman, Zenithal and Berry as two different
measures(perception and expectation of performance) into a single measurement of
performance according to expectation. According to Garb and, customer satisfaction equals
perception of performance divided by expectation of performance. The usual measures of
customer satisfaction involve a survey with a set of statements using a Liker Technique or
scale. The customer is asked to evaluate each statement and in term of their perception and
expectation of performance of the organization being measured.
