CHAPTER NO.1

PROCESSING OF MILK

At mother dairy processing of milk is done through state of

the art microprocessor technology which integrates and

completely automates all function of milk processing and insure

high product quality, reliability and safety

The Various stages of milk processing are given below:

• CLARIFICATION

The chilled milk from the silos goes to

the clarifier after pre-heating. The clarifier

spines the milk at very high speed, removing

all dust particles that are invisible to the

naked eye.

• STANDERDISATION

10




Milk from different breeds of cow and

buffalos varies in its composition. Hence, to

make milk uniform in composition it isstandardized by raising or lowering its fat and

SNF percentage to a desired level, so as to

deliver the milk to consumer as per

prescribed PFA norms.

• HOMOGENIZATION

In this process, the milk is subjected to

very high pressure due to which the large fat

globules present in milk are broken down in to

tiny droplets. The Milk fat gets evenly

distributed and milk appears whiter and

thicker. Milk homogenized for consumer who

do not like creamy lair on top.

Homogenization increases the profitability of

milk.

• PASTEURIZATION

In this process the milk is heated at 72cfor 15 seconds and then it is rapidly cooled

down to 4c. This process skill all the

pathogenic bacteria present in the milk and it

is safe for consumption.

ADDITION OF NEW PRODUCT

In 1994 Mother dairy began diversifying into other value

added milk Product Mother dairy offers a range of delicious flavors

of ice-creams to consumers at very competitive price in order to

cater to the diversified need of the consumers Mother dairy has

also launched other dairy products like flavored milk dahi

Lassi,MishtiDoim Ghe,Cheese Dairy Whitener Chach etc.and many

more are in the offing.

MOTHER DAIRY LAUNCHES FRESH MILK IN PUNE

Mother dairy markets approximately 2.8 million liters of milk

daily in the markets of Delhi, Mumbai, sauashtra and Hyderabadmother dairy milk has a market share of 66% in the branded

sector in Delhi where it sells 2.3 million liters of milk daily and

undertakes its marketing operations through aroung 14,000 retail

outlets and 845 exclusive outlets of mother dairy.

Mother Dairy, the Indian foods and Beverage Company

launched its offering in the fresh milk category today in Pune. The

company announced three variants in the fresh milk category--full

cream milk, tea special milk and cow milk which will be availablein the retail market Sunday, 22 February onwards.

Milk will be supplied to Pune from its existing Vashi unit in

Navi Mumbai and once volumes pick up and cross a 50,000 to 60,

000 liter mark it plans to have a unit in Pune. Alternatively, the

company may tie up with some existing entity for packaging and

12




other needs to supply to the Pune market. The 'tea special' milk

variation is expected to give the company a first mover advantage

in this particular segment which is priced at Rs 22 per liter whichis the same as cow milk. Whereas the full cream milk with a 6.8

per cent fat content vis-à-vis 6.6 per cent in competitive brands

will be sold at a rate of Rs 28 for a liter.

"The tea special variant exists in places like Saurashtra for

bulk sale purposes but we are introducing this for the first time as

a product for end-consumers. Our market study shows that there

is a high tea drinking population. I think we are the third or the

fourth largest foods company in India and by the year-end of

2008-2009 we should close our turn over at approximately Rs

3300 crore. Our daily production of milk is close to 2.6 million

liters right now," said Paul Thachil, CEO, dairy and foods, Mother

Dairy Fruit & Vegetable Private Ltd.

Safal and vegetable oil related products under Dhara. It has

around 800 owned outlets for milk in Delhi. The vegetable and

fruit outlets too exist in Delhi, which are 400 in number while

Jaipur has 25, and Bangalore has 20 of them. After Pune, thecompany is eyeing Nagpur for further expansion before the end of

this calendar year. Their current market share in fresh milk is

close to 10 per cent.

Mother Dairy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National

Dairy Development Board.

Mother dairy has taken up the concept of Total Productive

Maintenance (TPM) whole heartedly. The number of employees

involved in KAIZENS and the no. of KAIZENS per employee arevery encouraging. Mother Dairy is a member of CII-TPM Club and

the KAIZENS done by Mother Dairy employees have been selected

and presented in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th National Kaizen

Conferences held from time to time during the last three years.

Limitations

• The biggest problem what I faced while completing my

project was in sufficient time of retailer and customer. The

time we needed to give the knowledge of our product to the

customer and the actual time customer had.

• The second problem what I noticed in that company was

limited scheme i.e. company offers very limited number of

schemes and limited timing for scheme, where people arelooking for more schemes.

• Limited Area was one of the disadvantages that I had to

complete the project. The area that I had was very small and

restricted to some limits.

2.2 DATA COLLECTION

MEANING OF RESEARCH

Research in common parlance refers to a search for

knowledge. Once can also define as a scientific and systematic

search for relevant information for specific topic. In fact, research

is an art of scientific investigation.

The Advance Learner’s Dictionary of Current English lays

down the meaning of research as “a careful investigation orinquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of

knowledge.” Redman and Mory define research as a

“systematized effort to gain new knowledge.”

Some people consider research as a movement, a movement

from the know to the unknown. It is actually a voyage of

discovery. We all process the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for,

when the unknown comforts us, we wonder and our

inquisitiveness makes us probe and attain full and fuller

understanding of the unknown.

23




SIGNIFICANCE OF RESEARCH

“All progress is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than

overconfidence, for it leads to inquiry, and inquiry leads to

invention” is a famous Hudson Maxim in context of which the

significance of research can well be understood. Increased

amounts of research make progress. Research inculcates scientific

and inductive thinking and it promotes the development of logical

habits of thinking and organization.

The role of research in several fields of applied economic,

whether related to business or to the economic as a whole, has

greatly increased in modern times.

The increasingly complex nature of business and government

has focused attention on the use of research in solving operational

problems. Research, as an aid to economic policy, has gained

added importance, both for government and business.

Seven major steps in research process

Determine the problem or opportunity.

Specify what information is needed.

Identify the source of information.

Decide the technique for acquiring the information.

24




Gather and process the information.

Analyze and interpret the information.

Collecting the dataIn dealing with any real life problem it is often found that data

at hand are inadequate, and hence, it becomes necessary to

collect data are appropriate. There are several ways of collecting

the appropriate data which differ considerably in context of money

costs, time and other resources at the disposal of the researcher.

CHAPTER NO.3

CONCLUSION

From this 60 days experience in a corporate, I got a good

exposure about what really the corporate life is about. It’s waking

along with targets and mind stresses every morning. The person

who can manage these target and stress are shining in those

fields.

I personally think that marketing is not everyone’s cup of tea

but if one set his target high and continuously strive towards that,

nothing is impossible. The only thing required in our field is the

right attitude or a positive attitude towards attaining

One’s goal.

By going 60 days in to company I came to know various

things about the organization, employees, customers, workers,

and about the marketing field. Company is doing direct selling

with the help of two managers.

All the employees are also happy from last 35 from

our company because company is providing lots of facilities to the

employees, they had taken all the employees on the permanent

basis in that time, but thing is that till this time they are not giving

lay off, or early retrenchment in recession also. So we are getting

good production i.e. product whatever & whenever we want it. The other thing is that we reached to the customer

expectation in regarding to the product quality, price, and

timelineness of the order, so the clients of company are going to

increase, the marketing dept performing good role with all the

clients.

26




I realized the deficiency of co –ordination, but the company

is right now working on that problem, & I hope this problem will

come under control in forthcoming days.

CHAPTER NO.4

FINDINGS

The findings of the project are as follows:

The data I have collected 80 % of the customer are

agreed on the sales promotion strategies applied by

mother dairy.

better than other competitors in the market as perdata collection.

Good quality is preferred than the price nowadays,

that’s what people are choosing mother dairy now

days without caring prices.

Many players have entered into this industry sooptions widens for the customers. Hence brand

loyalty is affected.

27




The availability of the milk products also affects the

market for e.g. milk powder.

launching the product in the market than the estimated time.
