Case- study
“Hindustan transport corporation” a transport service provider company owned about 15,000
trucks. HTC Is known for safe and fast delivery of goods. The maintenance manager
observed that several thousand rupees were being spent on maintenance of trucks of which
majority expenditure was on tyre servicing. The tyres were being reliable. Sometimes the
tyres had to be changed much before their life as claimed by the supplier, as the journey was
long and the load to be born was high. The bumpy, zigzag and mountainous roads increase
the threat to the tyre. However the maintenance manager felt that the quality of the tyres
could be better when the purchasing manager conveyed this matter to the supplier company,
“J.K.Traders Pvt Ltd” Ahmedabad. He bluntly turned it down. The marketing managers of
J.K.Traders told that they were supplying the tyres of the best quality in the industry to HTC.
The improvement in the quality can not be thought in the near future. With this negative
response from J.K.Traders, HTC felt its supplier was becoming dominant and dictating the
terms. Quality is a very crucial parameter which HTC never compromised with so, the
managing director, Mr Karan directed Mr Yatharth to look out for alternative suppliers
“Road star pvt ltd” and “King tyre pvt ltd”. When the two suppliers of tyres
tested in simulated environment, the results were as follows:
Life of Tyres Numbers of Tyres.
(Thousand of KM) Road Star Pvt. Ltd King Tyre Pvt Ltd
5-10 2 4
10-15 3 7
15-20 10 11
20-25 15 25
25-30 14 10
30-35 17 2
35-40 9 1

Find the following:

1. Construct histogram and frequency curve for both tyre suppliers, compare the symmetries.
2. Compute and compare mean, median and mode life of the tyres supplied by the two
suppliers and interpret the values.
3. Derive the standard deviation and variance of life of tyres supplied by the two suppliers.
4. Which supplier would you choose if you were the GM of HTC? Why? Justify your
decision with appropriate quantitative tools.
