    Indian FMCG Industry Introduction

    The Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry in India is one of the largest

    sectors in the country and over the years has been growing at a very steady pace.

    The sector consists of consumer non-durable products which broadly consists,

    personal care, household care and food & beverages. The Indian FMCG industry is

    largely classified as organized and unorganized. This sector is also buoyed by

    intense competition. Besides competition, this industry is also marked by a robust

    distribution network coupled with increasing influx of MNCs across the entire

    value chain. This sector continues to remain highly fragmented.

    The FMCG industry, or alternatively named CPG, abbreviation for Consumer

    Packaged Goods, deals mainly with the production, distribution as well as

    marketing of packaged goods for all consumers.

    The Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) has to do with those consumables

    which are regularly being consumed. Among the first activities of the FMCG

    industry there is selling, marketing, financing, purchasing, and so on. Recently thisindustry has also launched in operations, supply chain, production, general

    management, etc.

    Industry Classification

    The FMCG industry is volume driven and is characterized by low margins. The

    products are branded and backed by marketing, heavy advertising, slick packaging

    and strong distribution networks. The FMCG segment can be classified under the

    premium segment and popular segment. The premium segment caters mostly to the

    higher/upper middle class which is not as price sensitive apart from being brand

    conscious. The price sensitive popular or mass segment consists of consumers

    belonging mainly to the semi-urban or rural areas who are not particularly brand

    conscious. Products sold in the popular segment have considerably lower prices

    than their premium counterparts.

    The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total

    market size in excess of US$ 13.1 billion. It has a strong MNC presence and is

    characterized by a well established distribution network, intense competition

    between the organized and unorganized segments and low operational cost.

    Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labour costs and presence across the

    entire value chain gives India a competitive advantage.

    The FMCG market is set to treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$ 33.4

    billion in 2015. Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in most product

    categories like jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc in India is low indicating

    the untapped market potential. Burgeoning Indian population, particularly the

    middle class and the rural segments, presents an opportunity to makers of brandedproducts to convert consumers to branded products.

    Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in the matured product

    categories. With 200 million people expected to shift to processed and packaged

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    10/59

    food by 2010, India needs around US$ 28 billion of investment in the food-

    processing industry.

    Automatic investment approval (including foreign technology agreements within

    specified norms), up to 100 per cent foreign equity or 100 per cent for NRI and

    Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs) investment, is allowed for most of the food

    processing sector.

    Following are the segment-wise product details along with the major players:

    CHAPTER - 2

    PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    12/59

    2.1 ORIGIN OF THE ORGANIZATION.

    On May 8, 1886, Atlanta druggist Dr.John Styth Pemberton (Former Confederate officer)

    invented Coca-Cola syrup. It was mixed in a 30-gal grass kettle hung over a backyard fir. It

    was marked as a brain and nerve tonic in drugstores. Styth sold the drink in a mug carrie d it al

    the way down to Jacob Pharmacy. The drink was sold for five cents per mug and the sales of this

    tonic were doing a phenomenal job and that was the beginning of the great Coca -Cola. Sales

    averaged nine drinks per day and people were very eager to taste it because of its taste that was

    different from that of the other tonics. The world has changed in many ways since pharmacist:

    JOHN STYTH PEMBERTON first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola in Atlanta,

    Georgia. However, the pure and simple magic of one thing remains the same Coca-Cola. The

    name and the product mean so many good things to hundreds of millions of consumers around

    the globe.

    Coca-Cola products are served more than 705 million times every day, quenching the

    thirsts of consumers in more than 195 countries in every climate. Thats a long way to come after

    such a modest beginning on May 1886. Pemberton concocted caramel-colored syrup in a three-

    legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first distributed the now product by carrying Coca-Cola

    in a jug down the street to Jacobss pharmacy. For five cents, consumers could enjoy a glass of

    Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. Whether by design or accident, carbonated water was teamed

    with the near syrup, producing a drink that was proclaimed Delicious and Refreshing.

    Dr.Pembertons partner and bookkeeper, Frank M.Robinson, suggested the name and penned, in

    the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide today. In 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged

    nine drinks per day. That first year, Dr.Pemberton sold 25 gallons of syrup, shipped in bright red

    wooden kegs. Red has been a distinctive color associated with the No.1 soft drink brand ever

    since. For his efforts, Dr. Pemberton grossed $50 and spend $73.96 on advertising.

    The Atlanta (US) based $ 18.55 billion; the Coca-Cola Company is a transnational gain

    operating in the soft drinks and related business. It enjoys the strongest brand awareness in the

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    13/59

    world and its flagship brand Coca-Cola (Coke) is consumed by the young and the old alike

    across nations. Financial institutions, employees and the general public hold the company shares

    with no single entity enjoying a majority stake. At present, Mr.M Douglas Ivester, Chairman

    BoD and CEO head the company.

    MISSION

    The Coca-Cola Companys first and foremost responsibility is towards its shareholders.

    The company defines its mission in the following words We exist to create value for our

    shareowners on a long-term basis. According to the company When we create value for our

    customers, we create preference for our products and our company and ultimately value for our

    share owners.

    2.2 GROWTH AND PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY

    THE COCA-COLA QUALITY SYSTEM

    Quality is more than just something we taste or see or measure or manage. Quality shows

    it. The companys quality system can be stated in 3 broad principles.

    Principle 1: The symbol of quality

    Every thing associated with the trademarks of Coca-Cola Company reflects the

    companys position of leadership & quality.

    Principle 2: Customer & consumer satisfaction

    Inherent in the products and services associated with the Coca-Cola Company is desire to

    attain the highest level of customer and consumer satisfaction.

    Principle 3: A responsible citizen of the world.

    The Coca-Cola Company is a responsible corporate citizen is all activities associated with

    its products and trademarks. The decentralized operating philosophy is the foundation for the

    companys past and future success. It operates in markets with dramatically different consumer

    preferences, economic conditions, product delivery systems, retail trade customers,

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    14/59

    environmental regulations and market place opportunities. Within this decentralized structure,

    the local managers make decisions based on the specific opportunities available in their markets.

    The companys commitment to the local community ensures that they hire work reflects the

    diversity of the local consumers and customers the decentralized operating culture allows the

    company to recognize trends in consumer preference sand to respond with appropriate brand and

    package combinations. It is this marketplace focus has enabled the companys core brands to

    consistently rank among the top performing soft drinks in the world. Their investments in people,

    information systems, and technology have created a resource base not easily matched by the

    competitors

    COCA-COLA INTO INDIA

    Coca-Cola first entered India during the 1970s. However adverse political climate forced

    the company to call off its operations in India. It later staged a comeback when the liberalizations

    wave swept through the country. Its world wise archrival Pepsi had already entered India and had

    carves out a reasonable market share. The company also had to contend with the top Indian

    grand in beverages-Parles soft drinks, which had powerful brands like Thums Up, Limca, Gold

    Spot, Citra and Maaza. The Parle products alone made up to 69% of the total market. Coca-Cola

    India entered into a strategic alliance with Parle soft drinks so as to take advantage of the latters

    wide distribution network and large number of bottling units spread across the length and breadth

    of the country. Gradually the company bought out all the Parle brands including the leading

    brand Thums Up.

    Today the products of Coca-Cola India are Coke, Thums Up, Fanta, Limca, Citra (Which

    is slowly being replaced by Sprite), Maaza (a fruit juice and Kinley soda). These are marketed

    through 300 ml bottles, 1 liter bottles, 1.5 liter Pet bottles, fountains and cans. Coca-Cola India

    faces stiff competition from arch rival Pepsi Company India which has products like Pepsi,

    Mirinda, 7up, Slice & Dukes soda. It also faces some competition from brands like Crush and

    Canada Dry which are owned by Cadbury Schweppes.

    Coca-Cola India has floated two subsidiaries-Bharat Coca-Cola and Hindustan Coca-

    Cola, which act as holding companies for most of its bottling operations. This gives the

    transnational ownership and control over this crucial pact of its operations. When Coca-Cola first

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    15/59

    entered India, it conducted its operations through franchised bottling units. The company is now

    acquiring full financial and operational control of these units.

    After the exit of the Coca-Cola in 1977 from India, Parle has established its reign over

    the Indian soil and has been flourishing since, in leaps and bounds. Ramesh Chauhan andPrakash Chauhen were steering the phenomenal brands like Thums Up, Limca, Citra, Gold Spot

    etc., Soft drink industry was reined by these wizards for a period of two decades.

    In the 1990s came the era of changes, LPG opened up the gates for the gates to flood

    with the competencies. Coca-Cola re-entered in India in the year 1993, yet another time. Prior to

    the entry to Coca-Cola, Pepsi was doing a big business and has been eating the biggest pie of the

    cake every now and then. It had already established its base and had a firm hold in the market,

    things were a big mess for the Coca-Cola, and it had to start all the way again from the word go,

    its sail was the toughest and had to bend its back like how Beckham does when he is in the midst

    of the practice.

    Three years after the return to India, the real thing was not happening and was not

    proving to be the choice of the new generation. It was being forced to share shelf space and

    fridge space equally with its archrival. As far as mind space is concerned it was the Pepsi way all

    the way. The fizz has gone, in a word, flat. Coca-Cola had also got the basis of the bottling

    strategy rooted, as its global competitive advantage has some of proof of its vast competencies.

    But here all was wrong with the supply chain failing to deliver CEO No.1, Jayadev Raja and

    Richard Nicholas has failed to deliver.

    Then entered, Donald Short, a 45 year old Coke lifer, air lifted from his assignment in

    Japan to take Coke back where it believes, it belongs to ahead of Pepsi Co. Hid mandates re-

    establish Coca-Cola on the marketing landscape. Strategy, operations and partner management

    not people. Processes or even profits, short had gone into minute of selling and created a

    template called the five steps of selling process during his tint

    in Japan, come to India with the tag linedo the right thing and a vision that encompassed two

    objectives; adaptability and a comprehension of the needs of the constituents in the Coca-Cola

    system. Coca-Cola has also integrated its bottling operations: 40 of the companies & 54 bottlers

    have either signed up a joint venture partnership or sold out, to finance these acquisitions, the

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    16/59

    setting up of four regional anchor-bottlers and the aggressive marketing thrust Coca-Cola has

    planned its Atlanta plant to invest $550 million in India.

    2.2 PRESENT STATUS OF THE ORGANIZATION

    The organization study was conducted at Bharat Coca-Cola Bottling Southeast Pvt. Ltd;

    which came into being when VBC Industries (which was a franchised bottling unit) was acquired

    by Coca-Cola India on 10th Oct, 1998. this unit serves the districts of Visakhapatnam,

    Vizianagaram and parts of Orissa State.

    The main plant is situated at Manchukonda Gardena while the smaller Maaza unit is

    situated l km down the road. The plant produces 300 ml bottles of Coke, Thums Up, Fanta and

    Limca and their canisters while the Maaza unit produces the 250 ml Maaza fruit drink.

    After acquiring the unit, the company is tied to mould the organization so that it becomes

    consistent with the Coca-Cola work culture. The top level management had already bee

    professionalized and change was expected at the middle level also. A total reorganization was

    around the corner.

    Bharat Coca-Cola Bottling Southeast Private Limited is headed by an Area General

    Manager. The various departments are the Finance department, the Sales department, the Plant,

    the Quality Assurance department and the Personnel department.

    It all started in the year 1967 when the great visionary Mr.M.V.V.S.Murthy started his

    small business of selling the soft drinks in the Vizag town. It was stared as a small unit in the

    industrial estate with as many as of employees, they, being his partners. As the days went by the

    same plant was made into big plant with the help of government and it was called the Visakha

    Bottling Company. This constituted a small number of employees who were loyalists of the

    great visionary. All this has further improved with the help of them taking up the task of

    becoming the sole franchise of the Parle products. Then it came to be called as the Gold Spot

    Company. They were manufacturing all products of the Parle and they were the sole distributors

    of the greatest brands like Thums Up, Limca, Citra, Gold Spot etc., then came the era of the

    takeovers and in the year 1996, Coke came in touch with VBC. The deal was struck and it was

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    17/59

    acquired by the Coca-Cola in the year 1998. From then on, it became a sole authority to the

    property of VBC and since then it was operating as a fully owned company. This plant operates

    with 102 staff, 10 managers, 165 plant workers, 250 contract workers in peek season and 185 -

    190-contract workers in other seasons. The plant is located at the picturesque location of

    Manchukonda Gardens and it runs to around 3 acres of land. The plant layout depicts the extent o

    care taken by the management to have a very pollution free area and an enjoyable arena to work

    in. The entire plant is divided into four segments.

    They are;

    1. Water treatment plant2. Syrup preparation plant3. Carbon dioxide preparation plant4. Administration

    THE PLANT

    The entire process can be simplified and presented as below:

    Raw Syrup Room

    The raw syrup is obtained by mining water and sugar at 85 degrees Centigrade. This isdone in a large cylindrical tank of 6 KL capacity.

    Ready Syrup Room

    The ready syrup is obtained by agitating the essence (which is kept in an essence mix

    tank) with the raw syrup. The essence is imported from Atlanta and its formulation is a tightly

    kept secret.

    CIP Room

    CIR stands for clean in point. There are two cylindrical tanks of capacity 2 KL each. One

    is a hot caustic tank maintained at 60 degrees centigrade and the other a hot water tank kept at 80

    degree centigrade. These solutions are used for cleaning the raw syrup and ready syrup tanks.

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    18/59

    The temperature, water/solution level, etc. can be maintained and controlled by the automated

    CIP system.

    Before production starts each day, the ra syrup tank and the ready syrup tank is cleaned in 3

    steps.

    1. Cool water rinsing -5 min

    2. Hot water circulation - 10 min

    3. Cool water rinsing - 5 min

    At the end of the day, the tanks are again cleaned in 5 steps.

    1. Cool water rinsing - 5 min

    2. Hot caustic circulation -10 min

    3. Cool water rinsing - 10 min

    4. Hot water circulation - 15 min

    5. Cool water rinsing - 10 min

    The raw syrup room, ready syrup room and CIP are manned by five people.

    Bottle Washer

    This is a huge automated machine with five compartments.

    1. Pre-rinse compartment.2. Pre-wash compartment.3. Soaker compartment.4. Hydro compartment.5. Pre-final fresh compartment.

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    19/59

    The bottles that return from the market are initially checked for damages and cracks. If found fit,

    they are put in the bottle washer where they are thoroughly cleaned.

    It the goes to the testing area where frontal and bottom testing is done. The bottles are

    checked for faded labels, chipped mouth, cracks due to thermal shock, bruises due to washing,

    residual liquid from washing and other foreign debris.

    Filler and Para mix Machine

    The ready syrup reaches the para mix machine where it is cooled by the refrigerant

    ammonia. The solution is carbonated and sent to the filler machine.

    The filler machine fills the bottles and caps them at the rate of 300 bottles per min. The

    bottles are code using by a coding machine where the price, batch and date of manufacturing is

    imprinted. The filled bottles are finally checked for loose crowns, rising, bubbles, cracks and

    foreign particles, the levels of the liquid etc.,

    The filled bottles are shifted to the godown, which has a total capacity of 30,000 crates.

    At any time the go down will have a stock of 20,000 to 25,000 crates

    OTHER SECTIONS

    Generator room: The high-powered generators of 250 KVA and125 KVA are used for

    providing energy.

    Chilling Plant: It supplies ammonia, which acts as the refrigerant.

    Water treatment plant: Water is obtained from pipelines and bore wells. This water is

    chemically treated.

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    20/59

    Boiler Plant: It provides steam to the bottle washer unit, raw syrup room and ready

    syrup room.

    PRODUCTION

    The production department is headed by a Plant Manager who reports directly the Area

    General Manager (AGM). Regarding financial matters, he interacts with the FM. The plant

    manager interacts with the AGM and the FM on a daily basis. Below plant manager here is

    Deputy Manager (Instrumentation and production). In the absence of the Plant Manager, the

    Deputy Manager takes charge. There are 2 Assistant Manager (Production) one for each shift and

    two Assistant Manager Mechanical (Engg-maintenance) One Engineer is for the inside boundarylimits i.e.,; plant equipment and maintenance and the second Engineer is for outside boundary

    limits i.e.,; for the utilities like generator room, boiler, Water treatment plant and the Maaza unit

    which is located at some distance. These 4 people report to the Plant Manager.

    There are 118 workers in the plant, which includes 14 women, 12 preventive

    maintenance staff, and 46 workers in each shift. Each shift requires 54 people. The gap of 8

    people (54-46) is filled up by diverting the women (8 nos), who are otherwise engaged in house

    keeping into the production line.

    Depending on the demand, the company operates 3 types of shifts.

    General shift 8 am to 5 pm 2 shifts 6 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm. 24 hours 6 am to 6 pm and 6 pm to 6 am (12 hours shift)

    During the general shift, the manpower requirement is only 54 while the company has 92 heads.

    Women are employed only in the general shift( 8 am to 5 pm) or the A shift (6 am to 2 pm). In

    other shifts, casual laborers are used.

    In the Maaza plant, 24 heads are required. During the general shift some workers are

    transported from the main plant and some casual laborers are also employed.

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    21/59

    The workers report matters as and when they arise to the Assistant Manager (Plant

    Supervisor) there is not much interaction between the Plant Manager and his workers directly.

    However the channel is open if the need arises.

    For any maintenance work that arises suddenly, the concerned engineer is informed. Thesupervisor clearly stating the problem, the date and the person who has been assigned the task

    fills a work order form. When the work is completed, the Supervisor signs stating whether the

    job has been satisfactory done or not. (Ride Appendix).

    A preventive maintenance schedule is prepared for all the equipments for a given year.

    Charts indicating the work to be done and the work already completed are displayed prominently

    in the office. Weekly maintenance is done on Sundays when there is no production.

    When the plant is shut down for maintenance, other departments are informed in advance

    especially the sales department. Additional stock in the godown is maintained. If the work takes

    an unduly long time to finish, it may result in shortage of any one flavor during the months of

    May and June. The Plant Manager gets the weekly sales plan from the sales department

    in advance. He also keeps a watch on the godown stock level every morning.

    The plant has surplus staff. There in no formal appraisal system. However

    the Plant Manager speaks to has subordinates on an informal basis. He suggests ways to

    improve performance especially when the quality is affected. The workers re not

    unionized. A daily production cum daily time report is sent to the Area General Manager

    (AGM)

    2.3 FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION.

    FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS:

    Management process consists of several functions and a distinction should be maintained

    between management functions (planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling) and

    organization functions differ from organization to organization depending upon their nature,

    while the functions of the manager are common to all. Thus, a manager may be put in production

    function, marketing or finance or HR function but he completes the activities of these functions

  • 7/31/2019 Arun Final Project on Coke

    6.1 SUMMARY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE

    LIMITATIONS:

    While conducting the survey, the following limitations were faced:

    The answers given by the respondents were considered as through where the accuracydepends on the mood and interest of the respondent.

    Some times, the respondents did not co-operate while answering the questions. There is large number of customers to the company. But due to the lack of time the

    survey had to be restricted to 2000 outlets only.

    SUGGESTION:

    We must visit all RED outlets where the activation elements are missingand it must be activated immediately.

    The MD needs to visit all the red outlets regularly to keep the visi coolerpure.

    Prime position of visi cooler enhances the visibility of the product whichhelp consumer to choose the product and some times it influences the

    customers to switch over from similar product.

    We should try the increase sell of outlets so that maximum outlets convertinto upgrade class.
