INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com2

Page 4: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The Indian Carbonated Beverage Industry is a very dynamic industry. The soft drinks

are the life style brands and are closely related with the consumers. The passion for

cricket in the country makes it a unique market.

The Indian Carbonated Beverage Industry is worth Rs.1000/- crore.The current

growth rate of industry is 8%.The main ingredients of a soft drink are water, sugar,

added flavors, and carbonated gas.

Though some outlets like bar restaurants running business throughout year, for other

channels the peak season is between Februarys to June.

In Dharwad retailers Pepsi has58% market and coke has 42% retail market The

phenomenal sales growth of carbonated soft drinks Pepsi (about 30 to 35 per cent) and

Coca-Cola (40 per cent and above) in the months of April and May 2003 has proved

that there is a right price for everything - you just have to get to it.

The success is mostly due to a cutthroat price war initiated Coca-Cola India when it

launched Coke in 200 ml packs priced at Rs. 5 Pepsi India was left with no choice but

to follow suit. Not only this, Pepsi went one-step further and slashed prices of its 300

ml packs to Rs. 6 all because it didn’t have 200 ml bottles.

Some slick advertising of course, augmented the price war, with Coke bringing in

film star Aamir Khan in various regional guises to reinforce its price-led strategy.

Pepsi, not to be out done, roped in reigning queen Aishwarya and current heartthrob

Vivek Oberoi to do the honors.

For two companies, which repeatedly requested the government to reduce the excised

duty on these to help increase sales, have achieved an unprecedented sales growth

with the very same soft drinks.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com3

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

In fact so great has been the sales growth of the soft drink brands that the companies

now seem to be shelving its earlier plans to launch juices and other beverages in the

domestic market.

Pepsi India claims that while the sales of Pepsi grew by 25% – 30% in April and are

expected to register a 30% - 40 % growth in May, its other CSD brands, Mountain

Dew and Blue Pepsi, Have done quite well. Though that can’t be said of the

companies lime-flavored Pepsi Aha and juice brand Slice; they have performed below

expectations.

Led by a riveting ad campaign, Mountain Dew has already grabbed a 5% share of the

Rs. 7,000 crore-carbonated soft drink industry since its launch. For the moment

PepsiCo India is putting juice brand Slice under Review. Originally launched in a

mango flavor in returnable glass bottles, Slice was extended to cartons two years

back. It has since then been introduced in flavors such as litchi and guava.

Coca-Cola India also says it has logged spectacular sales in the past few months. It

claims it has registered a sales growth of over 40% overall during the last two months,

while in a few urban pockets like New Delhi and Hyderabad the sales growth was as

high as 70% -80% in the month of May.

The company has also increased its village penetration from 9% in year 2000 to 25%

in 2003 by adding 40,000 more villages. It has added 30 new lines from September

2002 and has added 9 million cases of new glass to its operations.

Compare this with the fact that it had about 20 million cases of glass in the market

during the last 10 years. The total number of Coca-Cola outlets has increased from 6,

00,000 to 7, 50,000 from 2000 and the company is giving out additional 2.5lakh

refrigerators this year. Coca-Cola is also said to be putting its plans of launching juice

and milk-based beverages on the back burner and grow CSD sales while the summer

heat rages.

Interestingly, with carbonated beverages segment, its lime-based drinks like Sprite,

Limca and 7-Up, besides diet variants of Coke and Pepsi, which are growing faster

than the two big colas.

It’s the same in the US, Europe and Japan. In the US, for instance, fizzy drinks have

been on the decline since their sales peaked in 1998, while categories like water,

energy drinks and juices are growing. Pepsi’s volume declined 4% last year, while

Coca-Cola has launched only diet drinks in the last two years.

Changing Taste

US: Fizzy drinks on decline since 1998. Pepsi slumped 4% last year, Coke bringing

only diet drinks.

UK: Fruit juices command 66% of market, growing at 60%. Even Coke launching

juices

Japan: Iced tea and coffee dominates market. Coke’s Georgia coffee outsells cola.

India: Juices and non-fizzy drinks growing at 40%. Colas grow at 10% Juice brands

growing faster

It’s not just in India that people prefer juices, flavored milk, butter milk and juice

based drinks over fizzy cola drinks.

In UK, Coca-Cola introduced minute maid juice this month to meet booming juice

sales. In Japan, Coca-Cola’s Georgia coffee outsells coke. In India, PepsiCo’s

Tropicana and Dabur’s Real are driving growth in the 100% juice market, while

various non-aerated beverage brands have flooded retail shelves. coke has re launched

its fruit-based drink Maaza in three flavors, while Amul has added buttermilk to its

range of flavored milk and cold coffee, and Parle Agro has given a new look to Frooti.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com5

Page 7: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

Obviously, tetra packaging is playing a role in making available these health

drinks more easily. Rasna has hired Hrithik Roshan to push sales, while Nestle has

stepped up distribution for its tetra pack milk and cold coffee range. Godrej’s XS

fruit juice, and Mother dairy’s Safal have also stepped up marketing and distribution

spends. Smaller juice brands like Leh Berrry and Tuk 3 are also growing in healthy

double digits.

The man with the mission heads straight to the owner to the shops and fires his

volley of questions, after a brief introduction: “Hum Pepsi Company se aye hain.

Coca-Cola company koi discount de raha hai? Hamaara aadmi time par maal deliver

karta hai?”

This man from Pepsi is none other than its brand new head Rajeev Bakshi,

who after a three-year turnaround stint with Cadbury India joined Pepsi last year, but

formally, took over only now. On a field trip in Gurgaon, Haryana, Brand Equity

trailed Bakshi alone the route into the far-flung suburbs to get a ‘real’ taste of life. A

man possessed, he’s busy making mental notes, and mostly absorbed in deep thought.

A small break at the office, and he’s off to South Delhi with Anurag Jaipuria of Jai

Drinks, Pepsi’s bottles for Delhi and Jammu. And then, he plans to go on to

Sultanpur it’s all in a day’s work for the Pepsi chief. “It’s bloody important for me to

go out into the market. One wrong move can lead to dramatic changes in market

share. The pricing is quite essential in the business and any minor change can lead to

huge changes in fortunes. Advertising here is conventional, not in content but in

terms of time frames,” says Bakshi, in an interaction with BE that lasted nearly three

hours.

It’s marketing by wandering around, to give a small twist to a Tom Peters phrase. The

field trips, says Bakshi, alert him to what is going on at the ground level, help him

identify gaps and develop an action plan. Says a CEO of an FMCG company:

“Mr.PM Sinha was a good salesman, but he never really ran good businesses, not

even at Hindustan Lever. Mr.Rajeev mandate is to make money and, you watch, he’ll

bring some sanity into the company.”

COMPANY OVERVIEW

About the Pepsi-Cola Company

The summer of 1898, as usual, was hot and humid in New Bern,

North Carolina. So a young pharmacist named Caleb Bradham began experimenting

with combinations of spices, juices, and syrups trying to create a refreshing new drink

to serve his customers. He succeeded beyond all expectations because he invented the

beverage known around the world as Pepsi-Cola

Pepsi-Cola was so popular that Caleb Bradham (circled) could hardly take time

away from his soda fountain customers to pose for this picture.

Caleb Braham knew that to keep people returning to his pharmacy, he would have to

turn it into a gathering place.

In 1902, he launched the Pepsi-Cola Company in the back room of his pharmacy, and

applied to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark. At first, he mixed the syrup himself

and sold it exclusively through soda fountains.

.

 The business began to grow, and on June 16, 1903, "Pepsi-Cola" was officially

registered with the U.S. Patent Office. That year, Caleb sold 7,968 gallons of syrup,

using the theme line "Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion." He also began

awarding franchises to bottle Pepsi to independent investors, whose number grew

from just two in 1905, in the cities of Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina, to 15 the

following year, and 40 by 1907. By the end of 1910, there were Pepsi-Cola franchises

in 24 states.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com8

Page 10: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

Pepsi-Cola's first bottling line resulted from some less-than-sophisticated

engineering in the back room of Caleb's pharmacy.

Building a strong franchise system was one of Caleb's greatest achievements. Local

Pepsi-Cola bottlers, entrepreneurial in spirit and dedicated to the product's success,

provided a sturdy foundation. They were the cornerstone of thePepsi-Colaenterprise

Growth was phenomenal, and in 1909 Caleb erected a headquarters so spectacular

that the town of New Bern pictured it on a postcard. Famous racingcar driver Barney

Oldfield endorsed Pepsi in newspaper ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating,

a fine bracer before a race."

  The previous year, Pepsi had been one of the first companies in the United

States to switch from horse-drawn transport to motor vehicles, and Caleb's business

expertise captured widespread attention. He was even mentioned as a possible

candidate for Governor. A 1913 editorial in the Greensboro Patriot praised him for his

"keen and energetic business sense."

Pepsi-Cola enjoyed 17 unbroken years of success. Caleb now promoted Pepsi sales

with the slogan, "Drink Pepsi-Cola. It will satisfy you." Then came World War I, and

the cost of doing business increased drastically. Sugar prices see sawed between

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com9

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

record highs and disastrous lows, and so did the price of producing Pepsi-Cola. Caleb

was forced into a series of business gambles just to survive, until finally, after three

exhausting years, his luck ran out and he was bankrupted. By 1921, only two plants

remained

 It wasn't until a successful candy manufacturer, Charles G. Guth, appeared on the

scene that the future of Pepsi-Cola was assured. Guth was president of Loft

Incorporated, a large chain of candy stores and soda fountains along the eastern

seaboard. He saw Pepsi-Cola as an opportunity to discontinue an unsatisfactory

business relationship with the Coca-Cola Company, and at the same time to add an

attractive drawing card to Loft's soda fountains. He was right. After five owners and

15 unprofitable years, Pepsi-Cola was once again a thriving national brand.

PEPSICO MISSION:

PepsiCo’s overall mission is to increase the value of our share holder’s

investment. We do this trough sales growth, cost control and wise investment of

resources. We believe our commercial success depends upon offering quality and

value to our consumers and customers; providing products that are safe, wholesome,

economically efficient and environmentally sound; and providing a fair return to our

investors while adhering to the highest standards of integrity.

This page focuses on the soft drink industry, and two of its major competitors;

Pepsi and Coca-cola. This page will take an in depth view at the structure these two

companies have and how they are influenced by each other.

PEPSI-COLA BEVERAGES

PepsiCo’s beverage business was founded 1898 by Caleb Bradham, a New Bern,

North Carolina druggist, who first formulated Pepsi-Cola.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com10

Today, Brand Pepsi is part of a portfolio of beverage brands that includes

carbonated soft drinks, juices and juice drinks, ready-to-drink teas and coffee drinks,

isotonic sports drinks, bottled water and enhanced waters. PBNA has well known

brand such as Mountain Dew, Diet Pepsi, Gatorade, Tropicana Pure Premium,

Aquafina water, Sierra Mist, Mug, Tropicana juice drinks, Propel, SoBe, Slice, Dole,

Tropicana Twister and Tropicana Season’s Best.

PBNA manufactures and sells concentrate for some of these brands to licensed

bottlers, who sell the branded products to independent distributors and retailers.

PBNA provides advertising, marketing, sales and promotional support for its brands.

This includes some of the world's best-loved and most-recognized advertising.

In 1992 PBNA formed a partnership with Thomas J. Lipton Co. to selling ready-

to-drink tea brands in the United States. Pepsi-Cola also markets Frappuccino ready-

to-drink coffee through a partnership with Starbucks.

Frito-Lay

The company consists of Frito-Lay North America, PepsiCo Beverages North

America, PepsiCo International and Quaker Foods North America.

PepsiCo brands are available in nearly 200 countries and territories and

generate sales at the retail level of about $85 billion.

Many of PepsiCo's brand names are more than 100-years-old, but the

corporation is relatively young. PepsiCo was founded in 1965 through the merger of

Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay. Tropicana was acquired in 1998 and PepsiCo merged with

The Quaker Oats Company, including Gatorade, in 2001.

PepsiCo offers product choices to meet a broad variety of needs and

preference -- from fun-for-you items to product choices that contribute to healthier

lifestyles.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com11

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

PepsiCo’s mission is “To be the world's premier consumer Products Company

focused on convenient foods and beverages. We seek to produce healthy financial

rewards to investors as we provide opportunities for growth and enrichment to our

employees, our business partners and the communities in which we operate. And in

everything we do, we strive for honesty, fairness and integrity.”

PepsiCo's snack food operations had their start in 1932 when two separate events took

place. In San Antonio, Texas, Elmer Doolin bought the recipe for an unknown food

product – a corn chip – and started an entirely new industry. The product was Fritos

brand corn chips, and his firm became the Frito Company.

GATORADE & TROPICANA

Tropicana was founded in 1947 by Anthony Rossi as a Florida fruit packaging

business. In 1954 Rossi pioneered a pasteurization process for orange juice. For the

first time, consumers could enjoy the fresh taste of pure not-from-concentrate 100%

Florida orange juice in a ready-to-serve package. The juice, Tropicana Pure Premium,

became the company’s flagship product. PepsiCo acquired Tropicana, including the

Dole juice business, in August 1998.

SoBe became a part of PBNA in 2001. SoBe manufactures and markets an

innovative line of beverages including fruit blends, energy drinks, dairy-based drinks,

exotic teas and other beverages with herbal ingredients.

Gatorade thirst quencher sport drinks was acquired by The Quaker Oats

Company in 1983 and became a part of PepsiCo with the merger in 2001. Gatorade is

the first isotonic sports drink. Created in 1965 by researchers at the University of

Florida for the school's football team, "The Gators," Gatorade is now the world's

leading sport's drink.

PepsiCo Beverages North America includes the United States and Canada

Pepsi-Cola began selling its products outside the United States and Canada in

the mid-1930s, opening in the United Kingdom in 1936. Operations grew rapidly

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com12

Page 14: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

beginning in the 1950s. Today, PepsiCo beverages are available in more than 170

countries and territories. Brands include Aquafina, Gatorade and Tropicana.

In addition to brands marketed in the United States, PepsiCo International brands

include Mirinda, Seven-Up and many local brands.

PepsiCo began its international snack food operations in 1966. Today, products

are available in nearly 170 countries. Often PepsiCo snack food products are known

by local names.

QUAKER FOODS:

The Quaker Oats Company was formed in 1901 when several American pioneers in

oat milling came together to incorporate. In Ravenna, Ohio, Henry D. Seymour and

William Heston had established the Quaker Mill Company. The figure of a man in

Quaker clothes became the first registered trademark for breakfast cereal and remains

the hallmark for Quaker Oats today.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, John Stuart and his son, Robert, and their partner, George

Douglas, operated the largest cereal mill of the time. Ferdinand Schumacher, known

as "The Oatmeal King," had founded German Mills American Oatmeal Company in

1856.

Combining The Quaker Mill Company with the Stuart and Schumacher businesses

brought together the top oats milling expertise in the country as The Quaker Oats

Company.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com13

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The first major acquisition of the company was Aunt Jemima Mills Company in 1926,

which is today the leading manufacturer of pancake mixes and syrup. Gatorade was

acquired in 1983.

In 1986, The Quaker Oats Company acquired the Golden Grain Company, producers

of Rice-A-Roni.

PepsiCo merged with The Quaker Oats Company in 2001.

Pepsi profit fizz:

Pop! Fizz. Ah-h! It happens millions of times a day, every day. That feeling of thirst

hits, someone opens a Pepsi and the magic begins. Cold... Delicious. Each time, every

time.

Of course, that's what you expect from a great product like Pepsi-Cola. Or from Diet

Pepsi, Mountain Dew or any of our other popular soft drinks and other beverages.

But how do we do it? How can the people at Pepsi be sure that every single bottle and

can of Pepsi-Cola is always great-tasting, sparkling and fresh?

Actually, there's no secret to how to make Pepsi (except for the recipe). But there is a

system. And that system, plus a lot of hard work, is what enables Pepsi-Cola and the

independent Pepsi-Cola bottlers all around the world to bring you that high-quality,

consistently refreshing Pepsi taste each time you open one of our products.

The system starts with the finest ingredients available – kola nuts, vanilla beans,

flavor oils, citrus, sweeteners and the purest waters we can distill. Then we add the

best technology and all the care we can muster to blend our ingredients.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com14

Page 16: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

And during the 100-plus years we've been making soft drinks, we've also created our

own exacting production and quality standards, monitored with constant testing to

guarantee quality and consistency in our products.

Finally, we have our own local distribution system. It's designed to make sure that the

Pepsi you open at home is as fresh and delicious as it was when we sealed it at our

plant. And it serves every city and town in the United States.

Complicated? Sure. And expensive, too. But there's no other way we can be certain

that Pepsi-Cola products you buy are the highest quality, best value products we can

make.

Now, here's what all of those steps look like:

Flavor concentrates are shipped from special Pepsi-Cola manufacturing plants in

heavy-duty, air-tight containers. Liquid sweeteners are transported in special tanker

trucks. All ingredients and food products are stored in clean, sanitary areas, and items

requiring refrigeration are kept in temperature-controlled areas.

The bottles and cans that will eventually be filled with Pepsi are manufactured

elsewhere, and shipped to Pepsi plants wrapped and sealed for protection. Labels,

cartons, caps, the carbon dioxide used to carbonate soft drinks and other supplies are

also produced for Pepsi by other companies. On arrival, everything is subject to

careful inspection to make certain all of the ingredients and materials meet high Pepsi

standards.

Special equipment is used to uncase and depletive incoming shipments of bottles and

cans. Cans are by far the most popular package with consumers because they're

lightweight and easy to store. Though bulky, the cartons and pallets on which the

empty packages arrive are also relatively light in weight, so it's easy for the machines

to automatically remove the cans from their shipping containers at high speed. The

machines then transfer the individual packages to a conveyor belt.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com15

Page 17: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

Once on the belt, cans are part of an enclosed, controlled environment that keeps them

sanitary and helps ensure quality throughout the filling process. They travel rapidly

through a printer that applies a production code to each can.

Then they're automatically turned upside down, and rinsed thoroughly with filtered

water before proceeding directly to the filler.

Water is a key ingredient in all soft drinks. Pepsi-Cola takes special care to purify the

water it uses – a procedure that involves careful treatment, filtration and purification.

Pepsi standards are precise and closely monitored at every step of the process. The

result of this kind of painstaking attention to detail is that the water used in Pepsi-Cola

and all of our beverages is among the purest available anywhere.

Pepsi-Cola flavor concentrate is carefully combined with sweeteners and other

ingredients in large stainless steel mixing tanks. Quality control audits performed by

specially trained technicians are a critical part of the manufacturing sequence for each

batch, and are typical of the attention to detail that's necessary if the highest possible

quality standards are to be maintained. Cleanliness is also vital, so all internal and

external surfaces of the production system, including syrup lines, proportioning,

cooling and carbonating equipment, are meticulously sanitized.

In the last step of the manufacturing process, as the now-rinsed cans reach the filler,

they're reinvented, immediately filled and the lid is applied – at an average speed of

1,200 cans per minute. The filler is where the syrups from the mixing tanks are

combined with the purified water from the filtration process. The liquid is then

carbonated. This carbonation process gives soft drinks the special sparkle – fizzy

bubbles – that adds to their quality of refreshment.

All Pepsi cans and bottles are imprinted with a freshness date, which is a date code

that tells you your soft drink is fresh. A final quality check ensures that the package is

properly filled, sealed and labeled.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com16

Page 18: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

As products leave the manufacturing line, they're combined into a variety of packages

– six- or 12-packs, 24- or 30-can cases or cases of individual two-liter bottles.

The Manufacturing Process

Most soft drinks are made at local bottling and canning companies. Brand name

franchise companies grant licenses to bottlers to mix the soft drinks in strict

accordance to their secret formulas and their required manufacturing procedures.

RAW MATERIALS

Carbonated water constitutes up to 94% of a soft drink. Carbon dioxide adds that

special sparkle and bites to the beverage and also acts as a mild preservative. Carbon

dioxide is a uniquely suitable gas for soft drinks because it is inert, non-toxic, and

relatively inexpensive and easy to liquefy.

The second main ingredient is sugar, which makes up 7-12% of a soft drink. Used in

either dry or liquid form, sugar adds sweetness and body to the beverage, enhancing

the "mouth-feel," an important component for consumer enjoyment of a soft drink.

Sugar also balances flavors and acids.

Sugar-free soft drinks stemmed from a sugar scarcity during World War II. Soft drink

manufacturers turned to high-intensity sweeteners, mainly saccharin, which was

phased out in the 1970s when it was declared a potential carcinogen. Other sugar

substitutes were introduced more successfully, notably aspartame, or Nutria-Sweet,

which was widely used throughout the 1980s and 1990s for diet soft drinks. Because

some high-intensity sweeteners do not provide the desired mouth-feel and aftertaste of

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com17

Page 19: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

sugar, they often are combined with sugar and other sweeteners and flavors to

improve the beverage.

The overall flavor of a soft drink depends on an intricate balance of sweetness,

tartness, and acidity (pH). Acids add sharpness to the background taste and enhance

the thirst-quenching experience by stimulating saliva flow. The most common acid in

soft drinks is citric acid, which has a lemony flavor. Acids also reduce pH levels,

mildly preserving the beverage.

Very small quantities of other additives enhance taste, mouth-feel, aroma, and

appearance of the beverage. There is an endless range of flavorings; they may be

natural, natural identical (chemically synthesized imitations), or artificial (chemically

unrelated to natural flavors). Emulsions are added to soft drinks primarily to enhance

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com18

Page 20: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

"eye appeal" by serving as clouding agents. Emulsions are mixtures of liquids that are

generally incompatible. They consist of water-based elements, such as gums, pectin’s,

and preservatives; and oil-based liquids, such as flavors, colors, and weighing agents.

Saponins enhance the foamy head of certain soft drinks, like cream soda and ginger

beer.

To impede the growth of microorganisms and prevent deterioration,

preservatives are added to soft drinks. Anti-oxidants, such as BHA and ascorbic acid,

maintain color and flavor. Beginning in the 1980s, soft drink manufacturers opted for

natural additives in response to increasing health concerns of the public.

Impurities in the water are removed through a process of coagulation,

filtration, and chlorination. Coagulation involves mixing flock into the water to

absorb suspended particles. The water is then poured through a sand filter to remove

fine particles of Roc. To sterilize the water, small amounts of chlorine are added to

the water and filtered out.

Clarifying the water

The quality of water is crucial to the success of a soft drink. Impurities, such

as suspended particles, organic matter, and bacteria, may degrade taste and color.

They are generally removed through the traditional process of a series of coagulation,

filtration, and chlorination. Coagulation involves mixing a gelatinous precipitate, or

flock (ferric sulphate or aluminum sulphate), into the water. The flock absorbs

suspended particles, making them larger and more easily trapped by filters. During the

clarification process, alkalinity must be adjusted with an addition of lime to reach the

desired pH level.

Filtering, sterilizing, and dechlorinating the water

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com19

Page 21: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The clarified water is poured through a sand filter to remove fine particles of floc.

The water passes through a layer of sand and courser beds of gravel to capture the

particles.

Sterilization is necessary to destroy bacteria and organic compounds that might spoil

the water's taste or color. The water is pumped into a storage tank and is dosed with a

small amount of free chlorine. The chlorinated water remains in the storage

Next, an activated carbon filter dechlorinates the water and removes residual

organic matter, much like the sand filter. A vacuum pump de-aerates the water before

it passes into a dosing station.

Mixing the ingredients

The dissolved sugar and flavor concentrates are pumped into the dosing

station in a predetermined sequence according to their compatibility. The ingredients

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com20

Page 22: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

are conveyed into batch tanks where they are carefully mixed; too much agitation can

cause unwanted aeration. The syrup may be sterilized while in the tanks, using

ultraviolet radiation or flash pasteurization, which involves quickly heating and

cooling the mixture. Fruit based syrups generally must be pasteurized.

The water and syrup are carefully combined by sophisticated machines, called

proportion, which regulate the flow rates and ratios of the liquids. The vessels are

pressurized with carbon dioxide to prevent aeration of the mixture.

Carbonating the beverage

Carbonation is generally added to the finished product, though it may be

mixed into the water at an earlier stage. The temperature of the liquid must be

carefully controlled since carbon dioxide solubility increases as the liquid temperature

decreases. Many carbonators are equipped with their own cooling systems. The

amount of carbon dioxide pressure used depends on the type of soft drink. For

instance, fruit drinks require far less carbonation than mixer drinks, such as tonics,

which are meant to be diluted with other liquids. The beverage is slightly over-

pressured with carbon dioxide to facilitate the movement into storage tanks and

ultimately to the filler machine.

Filling and packaging

The finished product is transferred into bottles or cans at extremely high flow rates.

The containers are immediately sealed with pressure-resistant closures, either tinplate

or steel crowns with corrugated edges, twist off, or pull tabs.

Because soft drinks are generally cooled during the manufacturing process, they must

be brought to room temperature before labeling to prevent condensation from ruining

the labels. This is usually achieved by spraying the containers with warm water and

drying them. Labels are then affixed to bottles to provide information about the brand,

ingredients, shelf life, and safe use of the product. Most labels are made of paper

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com21

Page 23: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

though some are made of a plastic film. Cans are generally pre-printed with product

information before the filling stage.

QUALITY CONTROL

Soft drink manufacturers adhere to strict water quality standards for allowable

dissolved solids, alkalinity, chlorides, sulfates, iron, and aluminum. Not only is it in

the interest of public health, but clean water also facilitates the production process and

maintains consistency in flavor, color, and body. Microbiological and other testing

occur regularly. The National Soft Drink Association and other agencies set standards

for regulating the quality of sugar and other ingredients. If soft drinks are produced

with low-quality sugar, particles in the beverage will spoil it, creating floc. To prevent

such spoilage, sugar must be carefully handled in dry, sanitized environments.

It is crucial for soft drink manufacturers to inspect raw materials before they are

mixed with other ingredients, because preservatives may not kill all bacteria. All

tanks, pumps, and containers are thoroughly sterilized and continuously monitored.

Cans, make of aluminum alloy or tin-coated low-carbon steel, are lacquered internally

to seal the metal and prevent corrosion from contact with the beverage. Soft drink

manufacturers also recommend specific storage conditions to retailers to insure that

the beverages do not spoil. The shelf life of soft drinks is generally at least one year.

RECYCLING

The $27 billion dollar soft drink industry generated about 110 billion containers each

year in the early 1990s. About half of soft drink containers were aluminum cans and

the other half, about 35 billion, were PET plastic bottles. Nearly 60% of all soft drink

containers were recycled, the highest rate for any packaging in the United States.

Environmental concerns continued to lead to improvements and innovations in

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com22

Page 24: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

packaging technology, including the development of refillable and reusable

containers.

MARKETING, ADVERTISING, AND COMPETITION

The company generally sells product directly to retail stores and outlets by

their employees. Over the past few years, product creation has slowed down. The

company has stopped concentrating so much on creating so many new products, and

has turned their concentration to attaining new franchises and advertising. The

acquisition of contacts with smaller franchises is important in order to continue

growing revenue. The advertising concentration has become necessary as a defensive

maneuver to deal with competitors.

Brand recognition is the significant factor affecting Pepsi’s competitive position.

Pepsi’s brand mane is known well throughout 90% of the world today. The primary

concern over the past few years has been to get this name brand to be even better

known.

Packaging changes have also affected sales and industry positioning, but in general,

the public has tended not to be affected by anew products. The primary competitor of

the Pepsi Company is Coco-Cola Company. Pepsi and Coca-Cola make up anywhere

from 75% to90% of the market where they operate.

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

There is no involvement of wholesalers in the distribution of product. It is more like

an agent network. The companies have divided the country into various regions and

established a franchisee in each region. The franchisees have their own bottling plants

and manage all the day-to-day operations. However, of late, the soft drinks companies

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com23

Page 25: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

have started setting up company owned bottling units/have been acquiring some of its

franchisee bottles.

THE GENERATION NEXT

PEPSI NOTHING OFFICAL ABOUT IT.

NOW IT’S PEPSI, FOR THOSE WHO THINK YOUNG

THE CHOICE OF NEW GENERATION

“YOU GOT OF THE RIGHT ONE BABY”

“A GENERATION AHEAD”.

“NOTHING ELSE IS A PEPSI”

A Tale of Pepsi Co’s Strategy and Structure:

Pepsi Co. And the coca-cola Company is to of the largest and oldest archrivals in the

carbonated soft drinks industry. The war between the soda giants, also known as the

“cola wars”, initiated in the 1960s when Coca-Cola dominance was being increasingly

challenged by Pepsi-Cola. The competitive environment between the rivals was

intense and well publicized, forcing the Pepsi Company to continuously establish and

implement strategic changes as a means to create a competitive advantage.

Furthermore both Pepsi and coke offered a limited number of products that “looked

the same, tasted the same, and bubble into foam the same “thus, questioning whether

further substantial growth in sales was possible.

Rather than succumbing to the impending maturation of its domestic market, the

Pepsi company as a leader, fostered by the competitive intensity, launched new

strategies, such as product modifications, new forms of pricing and promotion, and

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com25

Page 27: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

fundamental changes in its distribution system, that have led to rapid and continued

expansion of the company’s domestic sales. By forecasting and responding to changes

in the economic, political, social, and technological environment, Pepsi has

successfully innovated in marketing, distribution, and product development. The soda

rivalry also initiated Pepsi Company to seek international markets and diversification

strategies in order to increase its sales growth.

“To be the World’s Premier Consumer Products Company focused of convenient

foods and beverages. In every thing we do we strive for honesty fairness and

integrity”.

were designed by the world famous garden planner, Russell Page, and have been

extended by Francois Goffinet. The grounds are open to the public, and a visitor’s

booth is in operation during the spring and summer.

FRITO-LAY NORTH AMERICA

PepsiCo’s snack food operation had their start in 1932 when two separate events took

place. In San Antonio, Texas, Elmer Doolin bought the recipe for an unknown food

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com28

Page 30: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

product – a corn chip and started an entirely new industry. The product was Fritos

Brand Corn chips, and his firm became the Frito Company.

That same year in Nashville, Tennessee, Herman W. Lay started a business disuniting

potato chips. Mr. Lay later bought the company that supplied him with product and

changed its name to H.W. Lay Company. The Frito Company and H.W. Lay

Company merged in 1961 to become Frito-Lay, Inc.

Major Frito-Lay products include Lay’s Potato chips, Doritos flavored tortilla chips,

Tostitos tortilla chips, Cheetos cheese flavored snacks, Fritos corn chips, Ruffles

Potato chips, Rold Gold Pretzels, Sun chips multigrain snacks, Munchies snack mix,

Lay’s Stax Potato crisps, Cracker jack candy coated popcorn and Go snacks.

Frito-Lay also sells a variety of branded Chips, Quaker fruit and oatmeal bars, Quaker

Quakes corn and rice snacks, Grandma’s cookies, nuts and crackers.

Frito-Lay North America includes Canada and United States.

RECYCLE

All Pepsi-Cola containers are designed for easy recycling and more than half

are recycled, making soft drink containers the most recycled packaging in the

United States.

Pepsi-Cola is working with suppliers and bottlers to develop a PET (poly eth

1-eneterephthalate) bottle that contains 10% recycled content. Pepsi-Cola PET

plastic bottles will include 10% recycled content by 2005. We are currently

conducting tests with suppliers on the safety of 20 ounce and 2 liter plastic

bottles containing various recycled resins. We are developing a sensory

protocol for Pepsi-Cola bottles containing recycled plastics.

In the United States, 48 million Pepsi-Cola aluminum cans are recycled each

day. In Canada, over 50% of soft drink containers are recycled, and this

continues to rise.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com29

Page 31: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

Over the years Pepsi-Cola has made the plastic PET bottles more easily

recyclable in the United States, Canada Europe and elsewhere. Pepsi-Cola

eliminated base cups in most markets, switched to polypropylene caps instead

of aluminum metal caps, and paper contamination.

In U.S. and Canadian bottling plants, packages damaged during filling are

collected and recycled glass, plastic and aluminum. Many plants also recycle

used packaging from incoming materials corrugated packages, straps from

pallets, etc. This has reduced plant waste by 50%-75% avoiding disposal costs

and land filling.

Pepsi-Cola established one of the first programs in the country to collect and

recycle the plastic ring connectors from six packs. Since then the company has

established similar programs with its supplier, HiCone, at over 10,000 schools

across the country. Many of the Pepsi-Cola bottling partners have established

programs to recycle ring connectors collected after filling vending machines

with cans. And if some consumers do litter, North American ring connectors

are photo degradable and have a “breakaway “ pull tab so the can be easily

separated , minimizing any impact on wildlife.

QUALITY POLICY:

Make Sell and Deliver the Beverages to the consumer has it was designed, in order

to drive brand preference.

SAFETY PRINCIPLES IN THE COMPANY:

We believe that safety health and environmental excellence is fundamental to

demonstrating the values of the right side up company in all our operations.

Perhaps the most important in a bottling plant are those concerned with the

maintenance of the standards of purity and uniformity set for the beverages

produced. Those activities can be grouped together under the heading of

quality assurance.

To get the top most quality of the product, all the ingredients such as water,

CO2, concentrate are strictly inspected and analyzed by our quality assurance

department. Apart from raw material, online sampling finished products are

also tested.

Samples of beverages produced are picked from the market for testing by

independent laboratories of international repute.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF CARBONATED DRINK

WATER AND WATER TREATMENT

Pure water is taste less, color less and odor less. Water as it occurs in nature,

whatever the source, always contains impurities in solution are in suspension. The

determination of these impurities makes water analysis necessary and the control of

these impurities makes water conditioning essential.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com37

Page 39: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The various sources of water can be classified as rain water, surface water and

ground water. Irrespective of the source of the water, the water has to be tested and

treated before taking in to the production.

TESTING AND TREATMENT PROCEDURE ADOPTED AT M/S. NECTAR

BEVERGES Pvt. Ltd. DHARWAD

The source of water at Nectar Beverages Pvt. Ltd. is ground water. The water

is tested for various parameters like, hardness, alkalinity, suspended impurities, and

micro organisms.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE

There are two types of water treatment adopted at nectar beverages Pvt. Ltd,

1. Chemical batch treatment: This water is used for beverage purpose.

2. Ion exchange: This water is used for boiler feed water, cooling tower, D.G.

sets, condenser, heat exchanger and bottle washer.

1. CHEMICAL BATCH TREATMENT PROCESS

Here the raw water is collected in storage tanks and dosages for chemical

treatment are given according to the characteristics of the raw water. The source of

raw water is bore wells.

At present N.B.P.L. is holding three water treatment storage tanks, out of

which two tanks are of 3,00,000 liters capacity and one is 4,00,000 liters capacity.

Raw water is collected from bore wells in the storage treatment tanks and

analyzed the characteristics of raw water such has P-alkalinity, M-alkalinity,

temporary hardness and calcium hardness, afterwards chemical dosages are fixed.

After addition of chemicals, the water is stirred by mechanical agitator, and three

hours contact period is given before taking the water for production.

Treated water passed through the sand filter to remove any floe carry over,

then an activated carbon filter which removes chlorine and off taste/ odor causing

impurities. Finally it goes through 5 micron pore size polishing filters to remove any

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com38

Page 40: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

carbon that may have been carried out over from the carbon purifier, and then through

ultra-violet. Chlorine concentration is maintained at 6-8 PPM level before carbon

filter and 2 hours contact time prior to dechlorination.

Details of Chemicals Used

1. Lime: Added to remove alkaline compounds from water to an acceptable level

and to reduce temporary hardness.

2. Bleaching Powder: Added for chlorination to oxidize microorganisms.

3. Ferrous Sulphate: Added for coagulation and flocculation i.e., to remove the

suspended solids and also insoluble materials created by chlorination and

alkalinity reduction is removed.

The sludge is drained and the treatment tanks cleaned with water after every treatment

and fresh raw water is taken for fresh treatment.

2. ION EXCHANGE METHOD

Source of water- bore well.

Liquid hypochlorite is injected in to the online water flowing from bore well to raw

water tanks.

Once the raw water is chlorinated, after giving sufficient contact time, the

water is passed through sand filter, carbon filter and resin bed. Then the soft water is

stored in soft water storage tanks. Before the water goes into the storage tanks, 2

PPM of chlorine is injected in to the on-line water flowing from softener to soft water

storage tanks. Contact time in storage tank is minimum 2 hrs. Then the water from

the tank is being pumped on it passed through 5 micron pore size polishing filters to

the bottle washer/boiler. The concentration of chlorine at the final outlet will be

Sweetening agents are those subsistence’s, which when blended with flavour,

acid etc. will provide satisfactory sweet taste in the finished beverages. They also

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

furnished body, which helps to carry or transits the flavour. They also give energy or

food value to the beverage.

SYRUP PREPERATTRION

The preparation of the syrup is certainly one of the most important operation

in the beverage plant, both from the stand point of sanitation and control of

concentration. The object in syrup making is to prepare satisfactorily bended and

finished syrup from which uniform beverages of high quality can be produced.

Normally required quantity of sugar of high quality is added to treated water

and heated to 850 C, in a high grade stainless steel double jack vessel. Activated

carbon is added to this to remove impurities. Impurities along with activated carbon

added to the sugar are separated form the sugar solution by filtering the sugar syrup.

Filter paper and Hyflo Supercel are used as filter aid. The temperature of the clear

syrup thus obtained is brought down to 200 C and stored is called “Simple” syrup.

When the syrup is completely prepared by the addition and blending of all

flavorings ingredients it is called as “Ready”/ “Finished” / Flavored syrup. The syrup

is ready for use in production process.

CO2 AND CARBONATION

The CO2 used for beverage purpose are 99.9% pure, free from moisture, air,

oil, grease and other impurities.

The amount of CO2 dissolved in solution is called as volumes. The number of

volumes of gas in the finished beverage has a definite relationship to the taste of the

beverage. Correct carbonation means a sparkling, stimulating, thirst quenching

beverage that completely refreshes and satisfies the consumer. Since there is definite

relationship between taste and carbonation, it is extremely important to determine and

maintain the carbonation which has proved most acceptable through experience in

consumer section.

The technique adopted at M/S. N.B.P.L for carbonating the beverage is as

under:

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com40

Page 42: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The ready syrup, which is prepared and stored in ready syrup tank, is taken to

the bottling line. It is passed trough a machine called ‘premix’ where the syrup is

automatically diluted with treated water to the required level. Once it is diluted it is

sent to the carbonator for carbonation.

For carbonating the beverage a mechanical device known as

“CARBONATOR” is used. CO2 gas enters the carbonator through a valve at the top

of the body of the carbonator. The dome as well as the body of the carbonator is

filled with gas. Syrup is sprayed in to the carbonator from the top, which flows down

through the baffle plates provided inside the carbonator. As the water flows down it

gets mixed with the CO2 gas present inside the carbonator.

Carbonation can best be obtained by increasing the pressure inside the

carbonator vessel and by pre-cooling the syrup before it is pumped to the carbonator.

Low gas volume product need not be pre-chilled.

CONCENTRATES

Flavorings materials used in making carbonated beverages are primarily are

alcoholic extracts, emulsions, alcoholic solutions or fruit juices.

Concentrates or non-alcoholic beverage bases are supplied by N.B.P.L’s

principle company from channo (Punjab) having international standards. On addition

of concentrate to the simple syrup we get respective finished syrup ready for further

process to bottle beverages.

BOTTLE WASHING AND BOTTLE INSPECTON

One of the most important aspects of the bottling operation is the cleaning of

the reusable bottles when it returns to the bottling plant. In order to be reused the

bottle must be sterile, of acceptable appearance, rinsed free of any detergent of

sterilizing agent, and of good mechanical strength.

The object of bottle washing is to produce both a clean bottle and sterile one.

The fact that bottle looks clean does not indicate it is sterile, and on the other hand, a

dirty looking bottle may be a sterile one.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com41

Page 43: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The present day bottle washer is designed to both clean and sanitize bottles

before sending them to the filling line.

BOTTLE WASHING COMPOUNDS

Members of the alkali family of chemicals make up the basis of most bottle

washing compounds. Caustic soda is the principle ingredient because it has by far the

best germicidal properties.

Three factors are crucial in the germicidal efficiency of the washer. These are:

Contact time, caustic strength and temperature.

OPERATIONS OF THE BOTTLE WASHER

1. The first step in the operation precedes the washer. When the cases of empties

return to the bottling plant, they must be sorted and culled to remove

especially dirty bottles, of ones contaminated with paint, tar, etc, or chipped or

broken bottles. This operation is often done by hand.

2. The inspected bottles are feed into the bottle washing machine; automatically.

The bottles are turned up side down to drain any contents and given a pre rinse

spray wash both internally and externally with plain water with certain

pressure. This operation is called pre rinse operation. Then the bottles are

moved to pre wash compartment, where the bottles are spray washed both

internally and externally with 1 to 1.5% caustic solutions @450 C to 550C

temperature.

3. Bottles are then, moved into a tank in the bottle washing machine, where the

bottles are soaked with caustic solution of 3 to 3.5% @750 C temperature. To

get this best results that bottles are to be soaked in this compartment for a

minimum of 7 minutes at the caustic strength and temperature given as above.

This operation cleans and sterilizes the bottle.

4. Then the soaked bottles are moved to a compartment called “Hydro”, where

again the bottles are given spray wash both internally and externally with 1 to

1.5% caustic wash @ 500 to 550 C.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com42

Page 44: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

5. Bottles are moved to compartment called pre-final compartment where again

the bottles are given spray wash with soft water to remove the caustic traces.

Here the temperature is maintained around 400 to 450 C.

Finally bottles, free from caustic moved to a compartment called final rinse

compartment where the bottles are again, waited sprayed both inside and out

side with soft water to deliver a clean and sanitary bottles to the conveyor

enrooted to filler at ambient temperature.

Before the bottles moved through the conveyor, the bottles are subjected to

ethylene blue test to ensure the bottles are free from mold and as also tests are

carried out to determine whether the bottles are free from caustic traces.

These tests are done at random.

Then the washed bottles are moved through conveyor to filler for filling

operation.

Before the bottles are moved to filler the bottles are subjected to visual

inspection. This is called bottle inspection.

BOTTLE INSPECTION

The clean bottles undergo inspection after they leave the washer and before

they arrive at the filler. Inspection can be done visually by an individual. It is a job

requiring a great deal of concentration and no individual can be efficient for long

stretches at a time. Provision should be made for changing inspectors frequently, and

adequate bright diffused light should be provided which illuminates all parts of the

bottle effectively, but does not glare in the operator’s eyes.

A receptacle should be provided, convenient to the inspector for non-usable

bottles, and cases should be handy to accumulate unclean bottles for rewashing.

Those bottles found acceptable to the empty bottle inspector are sent for filling and

crowning.

FILLING AND BOTTLING LINE

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com43

Page 45: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

The bottles, on a suitable conveyor line arrive at the rotary filler, which is equipped

with filling heads. The beverage filling unit includes a filling tank, which receives

beverages from the carbonator.

The tank is also connected to the gas chamber of the carbonator. This connection

insures balanced pressure and a proper beverage level in the tank.

On entering the head, the bottle is sealed to the filling valve and a counter pressure is

established in the bottle. At this point, the pressure inside the bottle is equal to and

derived from the filling tank.

Once the bottle is properly pressurized, carbonated water flows in displacing air and

CO2 in the bottle. The displaced gas passes through the counter pressure lines back to

the top of the filler tank.

When the proper level of beverage in the bottle is reached, the supply is cut off and

the top gas pressure in the bottle is shifted to the atmosphere.

Once the top pressure has been released, the bottle is removed from the valve and

passes through the crowner.

The crowning unit consists of the hopper for holding the crown supply, a crown chute

and the crowning mechanism. The crowned bottle then moves from the crowner on to

the out feed conveyor.

FINAL INSPECTION POINT

Then the sealed bottles are moved on a conveyor line and it is subjected to a

final inspection. Where the inspector checks for un crowned bottles, over/under filled

bottles, foreign matter (if any), and for any other visual defects.

Once the inspector satisfies with the quality of product and package, he allows

moving the bottles further to the collection table, where the bottles are manually

collected and put in the crates of 24 bottles and moved further for warehousing, and

awaitingshipment.

PLANT SANITATION

The most scrupulous sanitation practices are essential in soft drink plant. The

highest standard of cleanliness for premises, personnel and equipment is obviously

necessary due to the type of operation involved that of manufacturing a food product.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com44

Page 46: A project report on various policies of pepsi toward retailers mba marketing

STUDY ON VARIOUS POLICIES OF PEPSI TOWARD RETAILERS AT NECTAR BEVERAGES PVT.LTD

Sanitation is necessary to insure the keeping qualities, proper appearance and

full flavour of any soft drink. When the equipment becomes contaminated, yeast,

bacteria or mold microorganisms begin to appear in the finished beverage. Increased

numbers of these microorganisms will cause the development of undesirable tastes

and odors and ultimate spoilage of the product. Nothing will kill the demand for a

beverage any quicker than off-tastes and odors or product spoilage.

Hence sanitation, good plant house keeping and good manufacturing practice

are strictly implemented at N.B.P.L.

QUALITY ASSSURANCE:

Perhaps the most important activities in bottling plant are those concerned

with the maintenance of the standards of purity and uniformity set for the beverages

produced. These activities can be grouped together under the heading of quality

Assurance.

To get the too most quality of finished product, all the ingredients such as

water, sugar, CO2, concentrate are strictly inspected and analyzed by N.B.P.L Quality

Assurance Department. Apart from raw materials, on line sampling, finished products

are also tested.

Samples of beverages produced are picked up from the market for testing by

independent laboratories of international repute.

EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT

The effluent water charged by N.B.P.L is properly treated and neutralized to

maintain a value of C.O.D., B.O.D., pH and T.D.S in water as per the guidelines

prescribed by the Water Pollution Board of Karnataka. For this N.B.P.L has full

fledged effluent treatment plant.

in North Karnataka only but earlier it was Rs 8/- for 300ml bottle.

3) PLACE OR DISTRIUTION:

Here the strategies involve the management of channels by which ownership of

product is transferred from producer to customer, in many case the system by which

goods are moved from where they are produced to where they are purchased by the

final customer.

In Nectar Beverages Pvt, Ltd. They have appointed the stockiest for their

products at different places in North Karnataka (i.e. in 13 districts). In turn these

stockiest are distributing the cold drinks to retailers and again these retailers are

selling these soft drinks to end users.

Promotion activities are must for every organization. It creates a basic

platform for moving the company products. Sometimes promotion activates play a

crucial role. With ought it products / services cannot move themselves: it includes

advertisement, personal selling, sales promotion and publicity.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND FOR THE PROJECT

As marketing is a process, which starts with customer and ends with customer. But in

between this process retailer plays an important role in affecting the buying decision

of customer, which is indirectly affecting the sale. So my intension is to find out the

percentage by which retailer can be satisfied to maximum extent. So that sales and

brand image of company can be increased.

Previously the manufacture used to make a product and sell it to the customer without

giving any importance to retailers. In case of beverage industry also the scenario has

totally changed. There is much competition. After that competition is increased. Then

company realize the importance of retailer and his needs and what he except from the

company product. Company has begun to invest on research to understand and what is

the perception of retailer about various policies by company.

Utility of the project:

To know the expectation of the retailers among the Pepsi products

To know the average sale of Pepsi products.

To know the company promotional activities.

To know the retailers satisfaction level towards the Pepsi product.

To know the retailers complaints regarding the price and availability of

Pepsi products.

To study or know the reasons for purchasing the Pepsi products.

.To knows the retailer’s satisfactions towards the margin/profit are

provided by selling Pepsi product

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

The major players in soft drink market in India are Coca-Cola and PepsiCo;

both the companies have strong brands, which compete against each other.

The current industry growth rate is 7%, which was 22% before the pesticide

issue. The pesticide issue has affected both the company’s sales and market share very

badly. The end result was the consumers shifting to health drinks, which is and

increasing trend and threat to both the companies.

In order to increase their market share both the companies introduced 200 ml

bottle this helped the total industry to grow by 10%.

Currently there is price war going between both the companies.
