    They compete in the nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverage business. Theirofferings in this category include some of the world's most valuable brands, 232in all. These include soft drinks and non-carbonated beverages such as sportsdrinks, juice and juice drinks, water products, teas and coffees. As discussed

    earlier, to meet their long-term growth objectives, they make significantinvestments to support their brands. This involves investments to supportexisting brands and to acquire new brands, when appropriate.

    The coca-cola company started his business in Pakistan in 1960.All businessactivities in Pakistan are monitored by The coca -cola export corporation(TCCEC). Head office of TCCEC is in Karachi at that time but now days it isshifted to Lahore. But this TCCEC only monitored business activities, thiscompany issued license for plants in different cities of Pakistan to startproduction according to company standard.

    In 1990 decided for acquisition worldwide. Actually they are operated their business through joint venture, now they decided for acquisition. Thats why in1996 The Coca -Cola Company buys the Karachi plant, at that time TCCECdecided to form a new company to monitor the operation of bottling in Pakistan.So Coca -Cola beverages Pakistan limited (CCBPL) is the company, which isresponsible to monitor the operations of bottling in Pakistan. Some time people

    says that there is no difference in CCBPL and TCCEC, but the basic difference between both companies is that CCBPL is responsible for bottling operations andTCCEC is responsible for marketing and corporate decision world wide.

    On the whole Accounts Department is consisting of about 14 permanentemployees. As mentioned in the organ gram of the CCBPL, Multan Plant Mr. Aamir Ahmad Jan was the Head of the department during my internshipprogram. He is a competent person in the field of Accounting. As mentioned inthe organ gram of Marketing Department it is basically a subpart of Sales and

    Marketing Department. Basically the task is divided into two parts onis Sales and the other is Marketing . Marketing in CCBPL means the co-ordination of the sales department. The basic task of the marketing department isthe distribution and checking of company assets in the market in the form of Deep Freezer, Visi Cooler, and Chest Cooler or in the form of Cabins, boards,hoardings etc.

    Accounts Department is responsible for proper flow of cash and for thecontrolling of financial assets of the organization. The budget is allocated by TCCEC (The Coca-Cola Export Corporation) for the period of month or two andfinance manager of TCCEC used to come there to check the financial activities.

    On the whole Finance Department consists of 25 (Twenty five Employees).

    Logistic department is basically the combination of two departments these areFleet and shipping department. The whole transports and vehicles are arrangedand maintained by Fleet department. And shipping department is responsible forthe maintenance of inventory of empty bottles. On the whole logistic departmentis consists of 27 permanent employees. And rest of the employees work on daily wages.

    After take over of the company in late 90s, progressive management enables theorganization to increase the profitability continuously in last many years and thecompany is continuously increasing its market share consistently. Increase inprofits and sales volume is shown in financial analysis of the firm and it isindicating that firm is achieving more and more effectiveness day by day.

    I spent about 6weeks in the plant. During this period, I got a lot of practicalknowledge in various fields. Especially I got a chance to practically work in Accounts & Finance Department and apply all those concepts in reality that Ilearnt in my MBA program. I worked as an active member of the team that was working on Accounts Assistant. This project was basically a check on theMarket Development Officers to see whether the assets of the company arepresent in market in proper shape or not. Another objective was to minimize themisuse of these assets.

    Career Planning

    The company provides attractive salary packages as well as good careerprogressions to its employees. Special attention is given to Succession plans to fillup gaps required at the time of need. The employees are made aware of theircareer progressions profile righ t at the time of induction.

    Chairmans Message

    I am pleased with the progress we made in 2005 toward our goal of deliveringconsistent, sustainable growth. In 2005, both profits and unit case volumereached a record high, and our employee morale improved. Our Manifesto forGrowth has set our strategic road map, and the engagement of our people hasgiven us a solid start.

    Sustainable growth is how The Coca-Cola Company will regain its position as the beverage provider of choice for consumers, the employer of choice for our people,the partner of choice for our customers and the investment of choice for our

    shareowners.

    We understand the unspoken agreement between our Company and those whochoose to purchase and consume our products every day around the world. Weunderstand our responsibilities as an engaged citizen of the world. We believe welead a system that creates value and makes a positive difference everywhere itdoes business. Taken as a whole, the Coca-Cola system--comprising The Coca-Cola Company and our bottling partners--is one of the largest consumer productsenterprises in the world, with hundreds of thousands of employees and an

    estimated $80 billion in revenue.

    My priority in 2010 was to continue building on this unrivaled foundation todeliver long-term sustainable growth while being mindful of our short-termcommitments. Our work is far from finished, but as we've moved from words todeeds and from plans to actions, the initial impact of our efforts shows clearly inour 2005 results.

    In 2005, our Company earned $2.04 per share, an increase of $0.04--2 percent--

    over 2004. Volume grew 4 percent to 20.6 billion unit cases, and net operatingrevenues grew 6 percent to $23.1 billion. Through Our Manifesto for Growth , weidentified strategic corridors for expansion to complement our core carbonatedsoft-drink business. We more effectively integrated marketing, strategy andinnovation while reinvesting an incremental $400 million in those capabilities.

    And we introduced new products--capturing greater share--in juice and juicedrinks, water, energy drinks and sports drinks.

    Beverage Industry in Pakistan

    The beverage industry of Pakistan has become a play ground for many firms likeCoke, Pepsi, RC Cola, Amrat Cola, Gourmet Cola and many others newly introduced local companies. But only two companies share most of the marketshare, Pepsi and Coke. These two companies jointly are enjoying a market shareof more than 90%. But still a very huge share of this market is still uncovered. Butin covered areas, it can be said both the dominant companies are facing very stiff competition from each one another.

    The newly introduced brands are still disabling to find a stable position yet andstill most of them are not considered as real competitors of these two players onany base, product quality, availability, visibility or promotion.

    The positioning of these two well-known brands is almost same. A huge part of the market is still unable to differentiate between these two products and they areconsidered as perfect substitute of one another. On the other hand the other new brands like Gourmat Cola, Amrat Cola, Double Cola, and Makkah Cola etc. arestill considered as inferior on basis of quality. This is one of the reasons why these

    brands are still unable to create their market and capture the share of these twogiants of the industry.

    The religious campaigns against these two brands that were carried on by some of the religious groups in near-past acted as a break-through for these newly introduced brands but they could not make the best use of this opportunity andtherefore they are still struggling in the market. But it cannot be said that thesecampaigns were wholly failed and could not disturb the business of these twofirms. A negative image of Pepsi has created in minds of some religious peopledew to its affiliation with Israel.

    So, it can be said that there are only two main competitors in this industry inPakistan like most of the other countries of the world. But the statistics of thisindustry are very much different in this market from most of the other countries.Coca Cola is unlikely not the biggest player and Pepsi is having a very clear lead

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    7/74

    as it is having in most of the South Asian countries. Pepsi is claiming a marketshare of about 60% of the total market; on the other hand Coke is claiming amarket share of about 37% to 40%. And both the competitors are also claimingthat their market share is increasing rapidly.

    Introduction of Coca-Cola

    The Coca- Cola Company is the worlds largest beverage company, The Coca -ColaCompany markets four of the worlds top -five soft-drink brands Coca-Cola, dietCoke, Sprite and Fanta. And now currently the company has offered two new products in this market, Sprite 3G and Fanta Citrus. Sprite 3G is doing its

    business successfully and meeting the expectations of the management by capturing market share of Dew quickly but on the other hand the second newly introduced product is not meeting the expectations and still struggling to find outa proper place in the market but it is expected that the company may stop itsproduction of this product in near future. Their beverage offerings encompassnearly 400 brands, including coffees and teas, juices and juice drinks, sportsdrinks and waters as well as carbonated soft drinks . With operations in morethan 200 countries, they have a diverse workforce of approximately 50,000individuals.

    Operational Structure All Over the World

    The Company's operating management structure consists of five geographicgroups. The North America Group comprises the United States and Canada. The

    Latin America Group includes the Company's operations across Central andSouth America, from Mexico to the tip of Argentina. The Greater Europe Groupstretches from Greenland to Russia's Far East, including some of the mostestablished markets in Western Europe and the rapidly growing nations of Eastern and Central Europe. The Africa and Middle East Group encompasses theMiddle East and the entire continent of Africa. The Asia Pacific Group hasoperations from India through the Pacific region including China, Japan, and Australia.

    In past it was seen that the company was paying more attention to European and American region but now it is recognized that the Middle East region is muchmore attractive as compare to those areas due to intensity of population andsome such markets which are still not captured by any of the firm. So, now thefirm is paying more attention towards these areas to increase market share of thecompany in these countries. The visit of chairman in 2005 is an evidence of thisfact that company is now focusing on this region to maximize its share in thismarket. According to the management of the firm, they are working on a plan toachieve about 50% of the market share by 2011.

    10/74

    Ultimately, their basic task to perform in a market like Pakistan should be toconfirm the availability the products all over the country because it is observedthat one of the main reason of low market share of this brand in Pakistan isunavailability of the products in most of the areas.

    The company stock

    The Coca-Cola Company stock, with ticker symbol KO, is listed and traded in theUnited States on the New York Stock Exchange. Common stock also is traded onthe Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, Pacific and Philadelphia exchanges. Outside theUnited States, Company common stock is listed and traded on German and Swiss

    Social Responsiveness

    The Coca-Cola Company has a commitment, more than a century old, to socialresponsibility through philanthropy and good citizenship. The Company'sreputation for good corporate citizenship results from charitable donations,employee volunteerism, technical assistance and other demonstrations of supportin thousands of communities worldwide.

    Bottlers SystemOne of The Coca-Cola Company's greatest strengths lies in its ability to conduct business on a global scale while maintaining a local approach . At the heartof this approach is the bottler system.

    Their Company has business relationships with three types of bottlers:

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    11/74

    1. Independently owned bottlers, in which they have no ownership interest;

    2. Bottlers in which they have invested and have a no controlling ownershipinterest; and

    3. Bottlers in which they have invested and have a controlling ownership interest.

    During 1999, independently owned bottling operations produced and distributedapproximately 27 percent of our worldwide unit case volume. Bottlers in whichthey own a no controlling ownership interest produced and distributedapproximately 58 percent of our 1999 worldwide unit case volume. Controlled bottling and fountain operations produced and distributed approximately 15percent.

    They view certain bottling operations in which they have a no controllingownership interest as key or anchor bottlers due to their level of responsibility and performance. The strong commitment of both key and anchor bottlers totheir own profitable volume growth help them meet their strategic goals andfurther the interests of their worldwide production, distribution and marketingsystems. These bottlers tend to be large and geographically diverse, with strongfinancial resources for long-term investment and strong management resources.These bottlers give them strategic business partners on every major continent.

    History of The Coca -Cola Company

    Dr. John Stith Pemberton invented Coca- cola in 1886. It was the doctors seconddrink with coca leaves and the kola nut as a basis. The doctors first coca leaf drink, Pemberton's French Wine Coca, was actually an imitation of Vin Mariani, acoca-wine drink invented by Angelo Mariani in 1883. Although there were several

    imitators of the French Coca-Wine, Pemberton's formula was superior. He wasactually quoted saying

    "I believe that I am now producing a better preparation than that of Mariani."

    Pemberton was not very good health, not to mention he was a morphine addict.So in 1887 he began to sell parts of the company off. On July 8th he sold a thirdof the company to Willis Venable and another third to George Lowndes. Eitherman had the time to market, make or sell Coke so they sold their portion of the

    company to Woolfolk Walker and his younger sister Margaret Dozier. Dozierowned two-ninths and Walker four-ninths of the formula rights. Now here is where it gets interesting. Venable somehow disposed off his portion of Coca-colatwice. During some time in 1887, he gave his share of Coca-cola to Joseph Jacobs,owner of Jacobs' Pharmacy. In early October 1887 Pemberton ran a blind adlooking for additional investors.

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    13/74

    He was able to get three investors with this ad. He took $2,000 from each of them. Their names were J.C. Mayfield, A.O. Murphey and E.H. Bloodworth. Inlate December the three new partners moved to Atlanta, ready to produce all of Pemberton's wonderful medicines.

    At this point Pemberton, Walker and Dozier officially owned the formula of Coca-cola, but several others had interest in it. Enter Asa Candler, an ambitious Atlanta druggist. Candler some how acquired control of the company later in themonth of December although he probably didn't own any part of the company until 1888. He acquired the drink in return for debts owed him by certain"gentlemen." Things got a little sticky for a while with Charley Pemberton (John'sson) claiming his right to the drink. This kicked off two coke clones by the namesof: Yum Yum and Koke.

    Pemberton grew even more ill, but continued with his work. He was developing anew drink, a modified cola with celery extract. The drink was never finished.Pemberton died on August 16, 1888. Candler served as a pallbearer atPemberton's funeral and spoke very highly of him. In later years he was quotedsaying "Why, I suppose Dr. Pemberton felt I was one of his best friends in town."

    Exactly two weeks after Pemberton died Candler bought the remaining interest of Walker and Dozier for $1,000. With the exception of the Walker, Candler &Company ownership, Asa Candler had legal rights to Coca-Cola. He was callinghimself the drink's sole proprietor by May 1, 1889.

    By the turn of the century Candler would become one of the wealthiest men in Atlanta and Coca-Cola would become the most popular soft drink in America. After this the main events and improvements in this firm are summarized below:

    In 1906, Coca Cola was launched outside the United States for the first time. It was launched in two countries simultaneously, Cuba and Panama.

    In 1917, another milestone was completed, 3 million Cokes bottles were sold per day and it was also observed that had become the worlds mostrecognized trademark.

    In 1940, Coke was operating in more than 40 countries of the world.

    In 1943, On June 29, an urgent cablegram arrived from General DwightEisenhower's Allied Headquarters in North Africa, requesting 10 Coca-Cola bottling plants to serve American servicemen overseas. Eventually, 64 plants were set up during World War2.

    In 1950, Advertising on the television began. Currently Coca-Cola is advertisedon over five hundred TV channels around the world.

    In 1952, William T. Campbell wrote The Big Beverage, the first novel aboutCoca-Cola.

    In 1960, Coke was introduced in a size of twelve ounces.

    In 1961, another product of the Coke was introduced Sprite.

    awarded to only a few other packages

    In 1979, Fifteen hundred employees moved to the new corporate headquarters in Atlanta located on North Avenue. The new corporate headquarters came to beknown as "The Tower."

    In 1982, Diet Coke was introduced in July.

    In 1985, The Coca-Cola Company made what has been known as one of the biggest marketing blunder. They stumbled onto a new formula in efforts toproduce diet Coke. They put 4 million dollars of research to come up with thenew formula.

    In 1988, Coca-Cola became the first independent operator in Soviet Union.

    In 1993, Coca-Cola completed another milestone by increasing their sales volume to 10 billion cases worldwide. The company also started its advertisement with new slogan of "Always Coca-Cola".

    Introduction to Coca-cola beverages Pakistan Limited (CCBPL)

    Coca Cola is being produced and sold in most of the countries of the world. For better control, world is divided into various regions. Pakistan is the part of South West Region. South West Asia region includes:

    Pakistan, India, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Burma, MaldivesCoca-Cola beverages Pakistan limited (CCBPL) is responsible for all operationsabout production and sale of coca-cola brands in Pakistan.

    Difference between CCBPL and TCCEC:

    The coca-cola company started his business in Pakistan in 1960. All businessactivities in Pakistan are monitore d by The coca -cola export corporation(TCCEC). Head office of TCCEC was in Karachi at that time but now days it isshifted to Lahore. But this TCCEC only monitored business activities, thiscompany issued license for plants in different cities of Pakistan to startproduction according to company standard. In 1990, company decided foracquisition worldwide. Actually they were operating their business through joint venture, now they decided for acquisition. Thats why in 1996 The coca -colacompany buys th e Karachi plant, at that time TCCEC decided to form a new

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    17/74

    company to monitor the operation of bottling in Pakistan. So coca -cola beverages Pakistan limited (CCBPL) is the company, which is responsible tomonitor the operations of bottling in Pakistan. Some time people says that thereis no difference in CCBPL and TCCEC, but the basic difference between both

    companies is that CCBPL is responsible for bottling operations and TCCEC isresponsible for marketing and corporate decision world wide.

    CCBPL units in Pakistan

    There are eight units in Pakistan for production and selling of coca-cola brands.These units are situated in eight cities of Pakistan.

    Karachi

    Rahim Yar Khan Multan Lahore Faisalabad Gujranwala Rawalpindi Peshawar

    But some of these plants are currently not operating these days. For example, thePeshawar plant could not start its operations after the take over of the company in 1990 because it was working under too much burdens of debts in the past andit was declared insolvent. Therefore, it was not profitable for the company to pay all the debts and start operations again.

    CCBPL Management Structure:

    CCBPL has divided the whole Pakistan in two regions named as Southern business unit (SBU) and Central business unit (CBU). Karachi, Rahim Yar Khan and Multan plants are monitored by SBU General Manager (GM) while theother plants Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi and Peshawar are

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    18/74

    monitored by CBU General Manager (GM). You can better understand from thisorganization chart.

    It is shown in this diagram that the whole country is divided in to two parts on

    the basis of geographical regions. And the whole country is controlled andmonitored by a Country

    Manager.

    CCBPL Vision

    CCBPL vision is to have a strong, dominant and profitable business in Pakistan .

    History of Multan Plant

    In Multan, the franchise unit was established in 1964, with the wish or struggle tomake it easy to distribute Coke in different areas and to make it No. 1 in themarket, and with the hope that it will play a great role in increasing theproduction and to make it popular in all over the country. Mr. Haider Zeman wasthe owner of this Plant. After 20 years Mr. Haider sold this plant to Mr. Akbar in1984 that is one of the famous industrialist in Multan city. Mr. Akbar couldntgive his proper attention to this beverage business because he is more interestedin Textile business. For that reason Multan plant couldnt get a big market sharein Multan territory. In 1996 coca-cola company decided for acquisition and it buy first time Karachi plant in Pakistan. After four year coca-cola company purchaseand take over Multan plant on January 18, 2000. After acquisition some majorchanges were made by CCBPL in Multan plant.

    Changes in Multan Plant after acquisition

    After the purchase of plants in Pakistan CCBPL fire almost all of the employees working in the old setups. And they rehired some of these and other personnel onthe basis of their competencies they have from other organizations of beveragesfield and experienced people from other multinational organizations e.g. LiverBrothers etc.

    Coca-Cola Beverages Pakistan Limited made number of changes in the MultanPlant and in other plants. Some of these changes were structural in nature andsome were related to operations of the system.

    Now instead of Managing Director of organization, Business Operations Manager(BOM) is the head of organization. And Mr. Aamir Altaf Qureshi was appointedas the BOM in Multan in 2000.

    He made number of changes in Production system, marketing system etc. for theimprovement in quality. They purchased new foolproof bottles washing system in which almost every bottle remains in the process for one and a half hour. Thatstep increased the quality of the product and shows the concern of the company for the society and consumers in Pakistan.

    But now, after departure of Mr. Altaf Qureshi, Muhammad Usman But wasappointed as BOM of plant, who was previously handling the Sales & MarketingDepartment of the company. He is also continuing the policies of the company towards improving the quality of the products.

    Product Range

    In their product range, they had three categories, i.e. Coca-Cola, Fanta and

    Sprite, which are further divided into different packing units. They are 175ml,250ml, 300NR, 1 liter, 1.5 liter plastic and 2.0 liter plastic. Now they are alsointroducing Plastic bottle of 1 liter.

    But now two new products are launched currently to improve the marketstandings of the company. These are Sprite 3G and Fanta Citrus. Sprite 3G hasrecorded a very good start but unfortunately, the second one, Fanta Citrus couldnot get success in the market of Multan. However it is doing a very good businessin Peshawar and other nearby areas.

    Sales area of Multan Plant

    The whole area of Multan plant is divided into three major divisions. These are asfollows:

    1. Multan Region.2. Sahiwal Region.

    3. Dera Ghazi Khan Region.

    Multan Region

    Mr. Ali Navaiz is the Sales Manager of the Multan. He is responsible for the salein Multan Region. The whole Multan region is further divided into two areas,

    These are named as

    Multan Base. Multan District.

    The whole Multan city including old city is the part of Multan Base.

    While Multan District consists of all neighboring areas of Multan city e.g. Bodla,Makhdoom Rasheed, Muzaffar Garh etc.

    For the co-ordination of Mr. Ali Navaiz there are two Area Sales Managers foreach area of Multan Region.

    These are:

    Rafeeq Meo for Multan Base and Mr. Sabir for Multan District.

    And these both have number of Market Development Officers (MDOs) for thedevelopment of the market.

    Basically for sales purposes the whole territory of Multan region and otherregions is divided into many small parts and for each part we have a separatedistributor i.e. for Multan Cant we have Bismillah Agency. and for MDA. Chowk

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    33/74

    we have Niazi Traders as distributors. For every two distributors normally thecompany offers the services of one Marketing Development Officer. For thatcompany get two types of benefits

    With the help of these MDOs Company come to know the actual situationof the market from the mouth of their own employees. And company provides assistance to the distributor for achieving the sales

    targets. Company issues all the chillers and other assets to retailers and

    distributors after the guarantee and approval of concerned MDO. It helps in maintaining direct relationships with the retailers, so that

    company should not any critical situation if any distributor is not coordinating

    properly. If MDOs are not sent, distributors will be in better position to blackmail

    the company and it may damage the profitability and market standings of thecompany.

    Sahiwal Region

    Iftikhar Ahmad Choudhary is Sales Manager of that region. He is also a graduatefrom our department. He completed his studies from the department in 1989. Heis really a co-operative man. During my stay at Coca-Cola he really helps me inunderstanding the culture of the organization. This remains helpful for me for theperiod. Sahiwal Region covers the area of Sahiwal City, Jahanian, Khanewal etc.

    As in Multan region there are two Area Sales Managers for the co-ordination of Regional Sales Manager similarly there are also two Area Sales Manager inSahiwal. According to the sale Sahiwal Region is best among the whole territory of Multan Plant.

    These two ASMs are

    Mr. Shahid Habib. Mr. Rao Azam.

    They are hard working people. Due to their hard work distributors of that regionare able to achieve the sale targets.

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    34/74

    The remaining departmental structure of the Sahiwal Region is exactly similar tothat of Multan Region.

    Dera Ghazi Khan Region

    Dera Ghazi Khan is another region that is controlled by Multan plant. Sales teamin this region is also controlled by same sort of team consisting of a RSM and histeam of ASMs and MDOs.

    Ahmad Daniyal is the RSM of this region. He is a young man who started hiscareer a few years back as an MDO. His other fellows are still on samedesignation but in this short period, he became ASM and now working as RSM of a whole region.

    Wali Lodhi is coordinating him as an ASM and a team of MDOs is coordinating toachieve the sales targets.

    Marketing Department

    As mentioned in the organ gram of Sales and Marketing Department it is basically a subpart of Sales and Marketing Department. Basically the task isdivided into two parts on is sales and the other is Marketing. Marketing in CCBPL

    means the co-ordination of the sales department. The basic task of the marketingdepartment is the distribution of company assets in the market in the form of Deep Freezer, Visi Cooler, and Chest Cooler or in the form of Cabins, boards,hoardings etc. And they are also responsible for the proper maintenance of therecord of these assets i.e. they have to maintain the record that which asset is where and in which condition and how many assets we have in the store, they also responsible for the distribution of assets among different regions. When anew lot of deep freezer came to plant by TCCEC then marketing departmentdistribute these assets among different regions according to their requirement

    and their sale.

    Functions of MROs:

    Market department also contains Market Research Officers (MROs). Thesepeople are used to have a check on MDOs in a way that the physical verification

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    of assets is the responsibility of these people. They people also check whether theassets are properly used or not. Misuse of assets means that the shopkeepershould not use the assets of the company, for the products of the competitors orfor private purpose.

    These days four MROs are working in this department. These are:

    M. Yousaf

    Najam-ul-Hassan

    M. Naveed

    M. Naeem

    These people are working on daily wages basis but these are very experiencedpeople in their field and they are having a very good know how about the market.

    During my internship, I spend some time with these people and got very valuableknowledge about the market. These people act as representatives of the company during their visits to the market.

    Now a day it was under consideration that there should be a separate departmentfor these people, which are concerned with the audit of the assets of the company.

    These people are also used to record the feedback for the services of the MDOsand to check whether the customers are satisfied with the services of MDOs ornot. On the basis of this report the performance of the MDOs is evaluated.

    Finance and Accounts Departments play a key role in success or failure of any organization. A fair or exaggerated picture of financial affairs can leads to winning or disastrous decision. To present a true and fair picture of companysfinancial affairs, company has developed some systems discussed below.

    As it is shown in above diagram that Accounts Department is controllingPurchase and MIS department as well. This structure is different from otherorganizations where all these departments are usually working separately buthere, in this organization Accounts department is controlling the other twoimportant departments. This is one of the reasons why all the purchasetransactions are required to approve by the Accounts Manager.

    Different individuals are assigned different responsibilities in this departmentlike, some are concerned with Cash, and some are with Route settlement,

    Accounts Receivables, Excise and other relative tasks.Finance & Accounts Software

    Inventory System is used in handling of store spares and raw material. Storeissues and inventory cost is booked with Weighted Average system. This system isused to prepare item wise detail along with cost of relevant item in differentscenarios. Following reports are commonly used.

    Original cost, written down value, date of acquiring, accumulateddepreciation, location, its purchase authorization No. etc.Software Used in Organization

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    40/74

    Different applications are used in different parts of the organization for differentpurposes.

    Three main applications are given below:

    SAP (System Application Program) BASIS (Beverages Advanced Standard Information System) ISCIMS (Indirect Sales & Cooler Impact Monitoring System)

    SAP is used to allocate the cost on the basis of Average Cost Method. Itsometimes create problem because due to this a huge fluctuation results in cost.It mostly happens when same sort of product is purchased from various firms atdifferent prices but in the end all the goods are recorded at same cost due toaverage cost method.

    BASIS is used for cash related matters. It is specialized software for beverages butnow it has become outdated and it is expected that the firm will replace it with anew one in the start of next year.

    ISCIMS is used for having a contact with the distributors. Information is shared between company and an employee that used to send information fromdistributors end. Company is using this software for indirect sales. An operatorused to send information on daily basis through mail. Information is usually related about;

    Stock at Distributor. Discount Allowed by distributor to various customers. Low fills and burst allowances. Free sampling.

    Through this software, Mr. Farooq of Accounts Department is controlling about78 distributors in different areas.

    Route settlement documents flow

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    41/74

    When Route settlement documents flow is basically flow of documents startedfrom entrance of empty at gate to the distribution of filled bottles to thedistributors with all basic entries of account.

    vehicle with empty bottles enter into the gate then gate man entered this empty into the register with party name, vehicle no, qty of vehicle and time in. One copy of this form is send to gate office and the other one is send to shipping office. After that shipping officer count these empty bottles and prepare a verified list.This list is send to sales co-coordinator in DPG. After that sales coordinatorprepare demand form and verified this demand from shipping department inDPG. After verification from shipping department out load is prepared and thisload is send to distributor. The copy of this load is sending to finance departmentand finance department prepare an invoice for distributor. With this invoiceaccount officer is responsible to prepare cash copies, EDS copies and A/R slipsaccording to current condition of payment and empty. These copies send to RSA where he prepares route header copy, this copy send to distributor after signatureand stamp of guard. I think its not easy to understand the flow of routesettlement documents therefore I prepare a diagram so that reader can easily understand the route settlement document flow.

    The stores in charge give the present situation of the equipments and material inthe store. There are three types of stores in Coca-Cola.

    One is located in the factory where company stores equipments and material liketissue paper boxes, soaps, ballpoints, crowns of bottles, ink etc. of daily usage. And every purchase, which comes into the factory premises, first added to thestore registers. Then it is submitted to the concerned department.

    Second store is located near to the factory in a separate building. This is calledthe store for marketing assets. Every type of breakage of bottles is submitted inthat store and new assets of company like D/F, V/C are also stored in that store.

    Cash Room is like a bank. It makes the transaction of cash possible for thecompany. Mr. Javaid Iqbal Khan controls that department. Coca-Cola madepayments in two ways one through check and other in the form of cash. If thepayment is less than Rs.5000 then it is made through cash and if it is greater

    than Rs.5000 then it is paid through check. The payment which is made throughcheck is issued by Accounts department itself while cash payments are given tothe vendors from that cash room. For example Coca-Cola pay to daily wagers inthe form of cash and that payment is made through that cash room while thesalary of permanent employees is automatically transferred to their Bank accounts. And cash room is also responsible for the collection of cash fromdistributors for their purchases.

    Production Process

    The environment of the production hall is very clean unlike of other players of theindustry.

    In Multan plant, there are two lines of production in which all the products can be produced by making an adjustment in syrup and concentrate.

    Production process starts with washers where all the bottles are washed beforefilling.

    In washer 24 bottles are entered in a row at a time and the washer is capable of containing 300 cases at a time.

    Due to too many fluctuations in temperature, all the germs are killed andremoved. After this some light men inspect all the bottles. These people areperforming jobs for maximum of 20 minutes at a time then a next pair comes intheir place and so on.

    Next step is of mixing the syrup and water and filling them in bottles. For thispurpose water is obtained from a depth of more than 510 ft. Carbo Cooler is usedfor mixing the syrup and water and then bottles are filled. After filling andmarking date and time of production light men again check bottles.

    Loader Machines are used in shipping department. These are used to load andunload the trucks etc. For the maintenance of these vehicles and cars a workshopis present in the factory where many competent mechanics were employed toassure the proper maintenance and working of these vehicles.

    But in the end it should be made clear that fleet department is not concerned with the purchase of vehicles. If any vehicle is to be issued to any person then the

    SWOT Analysis

    SWOT analysis enables us to find out a better way of utilizing the strengths of anorganization to get maximum benefits of the opportunities available in theindustry and it also helps in dealing with threats that may adversely affect the business of the firm in future. So, the policy of any firm should be to focus onstrengths to get better results from opportunities, deal with threats by using yourstrengths and try to convert your weaknesses in your strengths. According to my limited analysis of the company, following are the strengths, weaknesses,opportunities and threats for the Coca Cola:

    Strengths One of the main strengths of CCBPL is the financial strength of the

    company because it is supported and controlled by Coca Cola International.Therefore, unlike past, now they can start any long term project withoutconcerning too much about finances available. Coca Cola is enjoying a positive image in the minds of the consumers. They

    normally think that it is better in quality as compare to other competitorsavailable in the market.

    Better workforce is strength of the company. Due to better availability of finance they can hire quality workforce and get better results. Established Nation-wide infrastructure is helping the organization to

    increase the sales volume of the company. CCBPL has up to date technology in its production. As coca-cola company

    claims that they are very sensitive about hygienic conditions, so thats why they using up to date technology to achieve this objective. Another strength of the brand is the quality that they are offering to

    customers. Another important strength of CCBPL is the working environment that

    they are offering to their employees. Due to this environment, the employees thatare working here are loyal to the organization and it is resulting in improving themotivation level of the employees, which in the end results in high productivity and better performance.

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    73/74

    Weaknesses The major weakness of the company is its distribution channel. It is one of

    the main reasons of its slow progress and low market share in this market. Due tolack of availability of the products and less differentiation from competitors, it

    has become very difficult to capture a big market share. The company is also lacking in utilization of the resources, especially in

    Multan plant. People are having various facilities but they dont kno w their bestuse. For example, people working in fleet department dont know to make the best use of Fleet Management System and usually performing tasks in very difficult manner manually that can be easily performed by using FMS.

    Opportunities The best opportunity for CCBPL is to increase market share through

    increasing the availability of the products in the market. The company can also produce better results by creating awareness in the

    society about the quality of the products they are offering. The successful introduction of Sprite 3G has proved that greater market

    share can be captured by introducing some new products. So, the company should introduce some of the products that are running successfully in othermarkets but are not available in Pakistan. A huge part of the market is still waiting for first entry. Coca Cola can gat

    the advantage of first entry if it focus on such areas.Threats High production capacity of the main competitor is a threat for Coke,

    because they are having a better chance to increase the production andavailability of the products and further increase the market share. The local manufacturers can also disturb the market share due to their low

    price offerings.

    PEST Analysis

    Pest Analysis is basically an environmental analysis which covers these fourdimensions of environment.

  • 7/30/2019 Internship on Coke

    74/74

    Political

    As far as political environment is concerned company is very worried about it.Pakistan is not a political stable country. Even after the18 February election

    political environment is still not friendly for business. Coca Cola Company cannotheavily invest in the Pakistani market due to this factor.

    Economical

    As far as the economic conditions are concerned they are also not favorable thepurchasing power of people is decreasing due to high inflation and there is athreat that this condition may directly hit the sales of the company.

    Social

    Due to its American origin people in Pakistan have a little bit cultural clash withthe coca cola company specially after Iran and Iraq war but the participation of company in social responsibilities is appreciating which have build a goodreputation in the market.

    Technological

    Market of Pakistan is passing through a technological revolution which providesopportunity to all the industries to modify their process. For example if the Cocacola Company would start selling its beverages through automatic vendingmachines it would be a healthy change for the company and the market.

    Suggestions for Further Improvement

    While working in this organization, I got a lot of practical knowledge and
