The competitive strategy of Pepsi Co. (Nectar Beverages Pvt. Ltd.) is that it has its
presence all over the world i.e. to make their products available throughout the country by
having their plants in different parts of world.
The supply chain strategy is that it has many plants across India in different states and to
cater the market in entire North Karnataka it has its plant Nectar Beverage Pvt. Ltd.
Dharwad. By its competitive and supply chain strategy the company is able to meet its
demand on time by having different plants. The efficiency of supply chain is achieved
through outsourcing most of its processes, cost and risk involved in performing the same
in-house is eliminated.
The company uses push strategy in marketing the products as it manufactures the
products and market them through distributors to retailers and then to final customers. It
is not based on the customer order. Company gives extra incentives to the distributors
with high sales.
The Company faces a lot of problem particularly a breakage of bottles and thus the
spillover happens. The company being engaged into food and beverages business as to
maintain its quality to the best standards therefore it is recommended to the company to
change the material of bottle manufacturing and at the same time bring them attractive
shapes of bottles to increase the visibility. In case of movement of the goods there are
chances of breaking up of bottles hence the company needs to maintain a proper packing
system so that the goods are reached safe.
The Company is engaged into business of beverages whose demand is fluctuating
throughout the year, hence the company needs to analysis the movement of the goods
based on season and keep a track on production planning and product sales as a their
demand is fluctuating
All the supply chain drivers are studied in brief w.r.t Nectar Beverage Pvt. Ltd. Dharwad.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
India is the 7th largest country in the world with a population of 1000 million people and
an area of 3.29million sq.kms. Out of its about 1000 million people, approximately 250
million people are affluent middle and upper middle class sections of society with a good
purchasing power. According to the World Bank statistics released recently in
Washington, India is the worlds fifth largest economy in terms of purchasing power
parity (PPP) next to only U.S., China, Japan and Germany.
India is the country that offers the greatest potential, even more so than China. Right now,
India accounts for approximately 10% of global beverage consumption. That makes
beverage consumption in India the third largest in the world, after the United States and
China. And when it comes to carbonated soft drinks, the market has not even been
properly tapped. The situation is similar in the case of bottled and packaged juices and
water and PET packaging. Given its size, the Indian market is still in its infancy. For the
future, beverage manufacturers must invest in plants and equipment "drink technology
India" is the perfect place for them to prepare for and initiate those investments.
The country has broadly two seasons, hot and cold. The hot season can befurther divided
into two parts, summer (AprilMay) and rainy (JuneSeptember). The cold season
consists of autumn (October November and winter (December March). The
consumption of soft drinks is generally high in the hot season, although there is also
steady consumption in the cold season particularly at the time of marriages and parties.
Soft drinks are not listed as high priority items in Indias new industrial policy of 1991
and multinational companies can enter India with an equity of 51% or even up to 100%
with the special permission of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). Two
multinational namely, Coca Cola holding of Atlanta USA (Coke) and PepsiCo (Pepsi)
also of USA entered the country with special permission from the FIPB.
PepsiCo took over a hundred year company of Bombay called Duke and Sons Pvt. Ltd.
which had popular Soda, Lemonade and Mango Brands with a 25% share of the market in
DVHIMSR, Dharwad

western India. PepsiCo also acquired a majority share of 91,4% in Punjab Agro Industries
Ltd by share holdings of Voltas Ltd of the Tata group.
In December 1998 Coca Cola took over the largely non-cola multinational Cadbury
Schweppes soft drink brand in India because he invented the beverage known around the
world as Pepsi Cola.
The summer of 1898, as usual, was hot and humid in New Bern, NorthCarolina. So a
young pharmacist named Caleb Bradham began experimenting withcombinations of
spices, juices and syrups trying to create a refreshing new drink toserve his customers. He
succeeded beyond all expectations.
MEANING OF SOFT DRINK

A soft drink (widely referred to as soda, pop, or soda pop) is a drinkthat typically
contains no alcohol, though may contain trace amounts(typically lessthan 0.5% by
volume) and is usually referred to as a sugary drink. Soft drinks are often carbonated and
commonly consumed while cold and or room temperature. Some of the most common
soft drinks include cola, flavored water, sparkling water, iced tea, sweet tea, sparkling
lemonade (or other lemon-lime soft drinks), squash, fruit punch, root beer, orange soda,
grape soda, cream soda, and ginger ale.
The term "soft" is employed in opposition to "hard", i.e. drinks withhigh alcoholic content
by volume. Generally it is also implied that the drink does not contain milk or other dairy
products. Hot chocolate, hot tea, coffee, tap water, juice and milkshakes also do not fall
into this classification. Many carbonated soft drinks are optionally available in versions
sweetened with sugars or with non-caloric sweeteners, such as diet soda.
Soft drinks are non-alcoholic beverages, which quench thirst and with different tastes.
Soft drinks can be divided into
1. Carbonated: Carbonated drinks are those, which contain Carbon Di-Oxide.
Examples: Cola, Miranda (Lemon & Oranges).
2. Non-Carbonated: Non Carbonated drinks are those, which dont contain Carbon DiOxide.

The world beverage market is expected to see growth slow to a rate of less than 2% a year
between 2010 and 2015 to surpass $1,900 billion by the end of 5 years period, according
to the market research from MarketLine. Over the last 4 years period, the global beverage
industry experienced consumption volumes expand at over 2% annually to surpass 245

still drinks, syrups, nectars, ready-to-drink and regular teas and coffees, dairy drinks,
energy drinks, sports drinks, fruit powders, and alcoholic drinks such as beer, wine, cider
and spirits.
As global food and beverage industry accelerates its production speed and increase
output, which also lowers costs; the beverage industry continues to become increasingly
streamlined and efficient over the recent years, and thus to boost its expansion.

In the short period of time, the market is believed to recover from the global financial
crisis, attributed to particularly dynamic segments such fortified juices and natural juices.
These healthy beverages, along with regular fruit and vegetable juices, are increasingly
popular the health-conscious demand is getting higher among consumers.
Natural beverages, made without preservatives or additives, are leading the market of
fruit and vegetable juice. More and more manufacturers are adapting to this demands by
using organic ingredients and fortifying their products with ingredients including natural
fibres, probiotics, sterols, vitamins and minerals. Diet drinks is another dynamic market
segment meeting the demand created by consumers concerned by health issues such as
diabetes and obesity. Some leading players on the market include Del Monte Foods,
Cadbury, Ocean Spray and Tropicana.
The world soft drinks market was worth almost $504 billion in 2010, and market
expansion is expected to exceed 3% a year by 2015 to almost $586 billion. Carbonates are
in leading position in this market segment, with sales over $204 billion in 2010, which
represents over 40% of the overall market.
Major market share by region
US coffee sales reached almost $38 billion in 2011, up by 10% from 2010. The market is
boosted by popularity of global coffee chains such as Starbucks and single cup coffee
brewers. Major market players apart from Starbucks include Kraft Foods, Green
Mountain Coffee Roasters, Dunkin Donuts.
It seems the US tea market has fared the global recession well as the market growth in
2011 has been strong, with double digital growth from refrigerated tea in particular. The
tea market is driven by the adoption of tea by fast food chains, and specialty retailers.
Currently, European Union is the biggest market for the global fruit and vegetable juice
products, followed by the US, reported by Global Industry Analysts. Asia-Pacific is going
to show the most rapid growth, expanding at more than 4.5% a year through 2015.
In the prospective view, Growth across all sectors of the beverage industry will partly
depend on the demand of from consumer health concerns as the new industry trend.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad

Companies will put more attention on diversifing their product portfolios to offer diet,
organic and fortified drinks for the health-concerned consumers. A shift in the consumer
demographics profile will continue to see growing demand in developing countries such
as India, Russia and China.
The Global Food and Beverages (F&B) sector, which comprises farming, food
production, distribution, retail and catering, has surpassed the value of $5.7 trillion USD
since 2009. The industry is one of the major contributors to growth of all economies and
has historically witnessed consistent growth, and the industry is expected to increase at a
CAGR of 3.5 percent to $7 trillion by 2014.
The Food and Beverage Industry has always had one of the biggest industry portals on
BusinessVibes as there are over 3 thousand member companies from all over the world
involving in food and beverageproduction, trading, distribution etc sectors, as well as
hundreds of event organisers presenting all kinds of exhibitions and tradeshows in
food and beverage industry.
According to the Food and Beverage Industry Global Report conducted by IMAP, here
are some highlighted facts and figures about this industry in recent years:
The global F&B industry was valued at $5.7 trillion USD in 2008 and is expected to
increase to more than $7 trillion USD by 2014, witnessing a CAGR of 3.5 percent.
The global food products industry, which consists of agricultural products and
packaged foods, generated revenues of $3.2 trillion USD in 2008. This is expected to
increase at a CAGR of 4.6 percent to $4 trillion USD by 2013
The global beverage industry, which consists of soft drinks, beers, ciders, spirits and
wines, was valued at $1.4 trillion USD in 2008 and is expected to rise at a CAGR of
2.6 percent to $1.6 trillion USD by 2013
Europe accounts for the largest share in the global F&B industry, generating revenues
of $1.4 trillion USD in 2007 and employing 4 million workers; the US held $1 trillion
USD of this market in the same year.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 10

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
Asia-Pacific is emerging as a major contributor of raw materials to the F&B industry.
Food purchases are shifting from staple foods rich in carbohydrates to more expensive
foods such as meat and dairy products. Indias F&B market was $182 billion USD in
2007-08 while the food processing sector was $72 billion USD in 2008. Chinas food
processing sector increased from $44 billion USD in 2007 to $50 billion USD in 2008
China, Russia and India have increased their production capacities. China increased its
wheat production capacity by 26 percent in 2003-07, while Russia raised its capacity
by 45 percent. Over the same period, wheat production in the US decreased by 12.5
percent.
At present, approximately 58 percent of produced food is consumed by developing
countries (majority of the increase in global population from 6.6 billion in 2008 to 9
billion in 2050 is expected to come from developing countries). This is expected to
climb to 72 percent by 2050 supported by the fact that 37 percent of the worlds
population currently lives in China and India.
The Food Retail industry earned revenues of $3.9 trillion USD in 2008 at a CAGR of 6
percent in 2004-08 and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 4.8 percent between
2008 and 2013 to reach $5 trillion USD in value.
Packaged food forms the majority of total food consumed, with developed countries
such as the US, Japan and EU, accounting for more than half of global sales of
packaged products. However, raw products, which need to be processed before
becoming edible, account for a large proportion of retail sales in developing countries.
Nevertheless, with rising income levels, consumption in developing countries is also
shifting towards packaged food products
Low cost countries are also becoming a sourcing hub for global retailers. For example,
Wal-Mart and Carrefour are now sourcing processed foods from emerging economies
such as India
India is the world's second largest producer of food next to China and has the potential of
being the biggest, backed by its food and agricultural sector. The total food production in
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 11

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
India is likely to double in the next 10 years with the countrys domestic food market
estimated to reach US$ 258 billion by 2015.
With a huge agriculture sector, abundant livestock, and cost competitiveness, India is fast
emerging as a sourcing hub for processed food. The Indian food processing industry
accounts for 32 per cent of the countrys total food market.
The food industry in India has been attracting a lot of attention from foreign investors as
the country is close to the markets of Middle East, Africa and South East Asia. The
Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MOFPI) is making all efforts to encourage
investments in the sector, incentives for cold chain development and also grant-in-aid for
setting up laboratories that are equipped for testing food products.
Key Players
Coca-Cola plans to foray into India's dairy segment in the coming season with its
milk-based drink 'Maaza Milky Delite'. The beverage made from milk and mango
pulp will now be rolled across the country in 200 ml tetra packs.
Everest Spices plans to set up spices processing units in the East African country
Zanzibar at an investment of about Rs 100 crore (US$ 16.73 million), said
MrSanjeev Shah, Executive Director, Everest Spices. The firm has entered into a

Beverages
The Indian non-alcoholic beverages market is currently growing at 15 per cent

year-on-year (Y-O-Y). As more people are trading up to packaged drinks,
consumption of non-alcoholic beverages in India is expected to increase by 16.5
19 per cent over the next three years, according to a report by the Indian Council
for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) and the Indian
Beverage Association (IBA).
Within the beverages market, packaged juice has charted a high growth trajectory.
As of March 2013, the Indian packaged juices market is valued at Rs 1100 crore
(US$ 183.89 million) and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 15 per cent over the next three years. Dabur India Ltd is the
established leader with a market share of 54 per cent with its brands Real and Real
Active. PepsiCo India is the second largest player with a 2530 per cent share
through its Tropicana juice brand.
Milk and tea could also witness rapid growth, as foreign firms have started
looking at India as a huge dairy market. It has been projected that Indias
packaged milk segment would grow from US$ 7.76 billion to US$ 32.9 billion
and register an annual growth of eight per cent by 2030. The top ten companies in
India account for 65 per cent of the hot beverage market.
Government Initiatives
The Government of India has allowed FDI up to 100 per cent in food processing
sector through automatic route. For promotion and development of the food
processing sector, it has allocated a sum of Rs 5,990 crore (US$ 1 billion) under
various schemes of the food processing industries ministry during the 12th Five
Year Plan.
The MOFPI and Invest India have entered into an agreement for the setting up of
an Investors Help Desk for offering online support to investors, both domestic

and international, with regard to their queries, and guide them particularly at the
initial stage of setting up their units.
The Ministry has launched a Centrally Sponsored Scheme namely, National

Mission on Food Processing (NMFP) during the 12th Plan. A sum of Rs 204.85
crore (US$ 34.23 million) has been released to States/ Union Territories (UT)
under the scheme during FY 13 and FY 14 (up to January 31).
The Ministry is implementing a scheme for Human Resource Development

(HRD) in the food processing sector on developing technologists, managers,
entrepreneurs and manpower for quality management in the sector. The annual
manpower requirement in the industry is estimated at about 5.3 lakhs persons.
With the objective of providing incentive to create integrated cold chain and
preservation infrastructure facilities in the country, the Ministry is implementing
the Scheme of Integrated Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation
Infrastructure.
Road Ahead
The revival of the agriculture sector is expected to open up a plethora of

opportunities for players having strong linkages in the agri value chain. The food
processing industry is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this
process. Significant investment opportunities are yet to be tapped in the areas of
supply chain management (SCM), cold storages, financing, retailing and exports.
The MOFPI has formulated a Vision 2015 Action Plan that includes trebling the
size of the food processing industry, raising the level of processing of perishables
from 6 per cent to 20 per cent, increasing value addition from 20 per cent to 35 per
cent, and enhancing India's share in global food trade from 1.5 per cent to 3 per
cent.

COMPANY PROFILE
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 Braham 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.
Figure no.2.1 (Caleb Braham)
Caleb Braham knew that to keep people returning to his pharmacy, he would have to turn it into a
gathering place. He did so by concocting his own special beverage, soft drink. His creation, a
unique mixture of cola nut extract, vanilla and rare oils, became so popular his customers named
it "Brad's Drink." Caleb decided to rename it "Pepsi-Cola," and advertised his new soft drink.
In 1902, he launched the 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. But soon Caleb recognized that a greater opportunity existed to bottle Pepsi so
that people could drink it anywhere.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 16

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
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.
Figure no.2.2:First franchise of Pepsi Cola
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 corner stone of the Pepsi-Cola enterprise Growth was phenomenal, and
in 1909 Caleb erected a headquarters sospectacular that the town of new berm pictured it on a
postcard.
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 after World War I, the cost of
doing business increased drastically. Sugar prices see sawed between 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.
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 PepsiCola 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 and15 unprofitable years, Pepsi-Cola was
once again a thriving national brand.
PepsiCo Inc. is best known for its soft drink Pepsi and Mountain dew and yet, over the
years it has also created logo items, such as T-shirts, hats and duffel bags with the Pepsi
globe design. These are part of its marketing strategy to promote the drinks in the minds
of the people making the drink a part of the life of their life. But that sort of marketing has
its limitations. These items can be taken to the beach but they are not a 'brand'. In today's
lifestyle a brand name is what is needed to succeed. It is the brand name that Grabs the
attention of the consumer and retains their loyalty as price, quality etc. become associated
with the name accordingly. So the logo accessories that were promoted by Pepsi may
have been used but they did not create an awareness of Pepsi in any market other than that
of soft drinks.The Indian Carbonated Beverage Industry is a very dynamic industry. The
soft drinks are the life style brads 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.1000crore, which is equal to 270millon cases i.e. 6480millon bottled.
The current growth rate of industry is 8%. Among the total Cola product 62% is of soft
drinks and 36% is an orange, cloudy lime, clear lime and mango juices.

The Group's principal activities are to manufacture market and sell salty, sweet and grainbased snacks, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages and foods. The Group operates in
four divisions: Frito-Lay North America manufactures markets and sells branded snacks,
which includes Lay's potato chips, Doritos flavored tortilla chips and Cheetos cheese
flavored snacks. PepsiCo Beverages North America manufactures beverage concentrates,
fountain syrups and finished goods for Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, Mountain Dew, Mug
etc. PepsiCo International manufactures a variety of salty and sweet snack brands
including Sabritas, Gamesa and Alegro.Quaker Foods North America manufactures,
markets and sells cereals, rice, pasta and other branded products, which includes Quaker
oatmeal, Cap'n Crunch and Life ready-to-eat cereals, Rice-A-Roni, etc. On 28-Feb-2005,
the Group acquired Snack Ventures Europe, on 02-Jan-2006, Star Foods and on 12-Jan2006, Stacy's Pita Chip Company.
Pepsi Cola Pepsi Cola beverage business was founded at turn of the century by Caleb
Bradham a New Bern N.C druggist who formulated Pepsi Cola. Pepsi Cola Company
now produces and markets nearly 200 refreshment beverages to retail, restaurants and
food service customers in more then 190 countries and territories around the world and
generates revenue of over 18 billion dollars. Although Pepsi holdings over the years have
become diverse in such fields as the snack industry and restaurants industry this portfolio
will discuss its core business and its highly successful business of beverages. The soft
drink industry customer base is probably the widest and deepest base in a world that is
flooded with some many categories. According to Beverage Digest the customer base for
soft drinks is a whopping 95% of regular users in the United States.
This represents a large field of potential customers for Pepsi Cola. Yet although Pepsi
could just use the majority fallacy to market their product, Pepsi prefers to segment itself
as the beverage choice of the New Generation, Generation Next, or just as the Pepsi
Generation.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad

These terms adopted in Pepsis advertising campaigns are referring to the markets that
marketers refer to as Generation X. The Generation X consumer is profiled to be between
the ages of 18 to 29. They have high expectations in life andare very mobile and active.
They adopt a lifestyle of living for today and not worryingabout long term goals. Those
Pepsis main emphasis on this segment they also have afocus on the 12 to 18 year old
market. Pepsi believes if they can get this market to adopt their product then they could
establish a loyal customer for life. Pepsi Cola is situated in an industry that is dominated
by two competitors, Coca-Cola and of course themselves. Although Pepsi and Coke
basically go after all consumers who purchasesoft drink beverages Coca-Cola targets its
products at the head of household. This isevident in many of the advertisements.
SHARE HOLDERS
PepsiCo shares are traded principally on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. The
company is also listed on the Amsterdam, Chicago, Swiss and Tokyo stock exchanges. PepsiCo
has consistently paid cash dividends since the corporation was founded.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
At PepsiCo, we believe that as a corporate citizen, we have a responsibility to contribute

Pepsi in India
After Coco-cola was asked to leave India, Pepsi began to lay plans to enter this huge
market. Pepsi worked with an Indian business group to seek government approved for its
entry over the objections of both domestic soft drinks companies and anti-multinational
legislators. Pepsi saw the solution to lie in making an offer that the Indian Government
would find hard to refuse. Pepsi offered to help India export some of its agricultural
products in volume that would more than cover the cost of importing softdrink

1. WATER AND WATER TREATMENT
Pure water is tasteless, colourless and odourless. Water as it occurs in nature,
whatever the source, always contains impurities in solution or in suspension. The
determination of these impurities makes water analysis necessary and the control of
these impurities makes water conditioning essential.
The various sources of water can be classified as Rainwater, surface water, ground
water. Irrespective of the source of water, the water has to be tested and treated before
raking into the production.
Testing and Treatment procedure adopted at M/s. Nectar BeveragesPvt.Ltd.,
Dharwad. The source of water at Nectar Beverages Pvt.Ltd. is ground water. The
water is tested on various parameters like, Hardness, Alkalinity,Suspended Impurities
and Microorganisms.
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 & Bottle washer.
Chemical Batch treatment process:

Here, the raw water is collected in storage tanks and dosages for chemical treatment given
according to the characteristics of the raw water. The source of raw water is bore well. At
preset; we are holding three water treatment storage tanks, out of which two tanks are of
3, 00000 liters. Capacity and one is 4, 00000 liters capacity.
Raw water is collected from the bore wells in the storage treatment tanks and analyzed the
characteristics of raw water viz. P-alkalinity, M-alkalinity, temporary hardness and
calcium hardness, afterwards chemical dosages are fixed. After addition of chemicals,
mechanical agitator stirs the water, and 3 hours contact period is given before taking the
water for production.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 38

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
Treated water passed through sand filter to remove and floc carry over, then an activated
carbon filter, which removes chlorine, and off tasted/odor causing impurities.
Finally it goes through 5 Micron pore size polishing filters to remove and carbon that may
have been carried out over from the carbon purifier, and then through ultraviolet. Chlorine
concentration is maintained at 6 to 8 PPM level before carbon filter and 2 hours contact
time prior to de-chlorination.
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 microorganism.
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 then fresh raw water is taken for
fresh treatment.
2. SWEETENING AGENT AND SYRUP PREPERATION:

Sweetening agents are that subsistence, which when blended with flavor, acid, etc., will
provide satisfactory sweet taste in the finished beverage. They also furnish body, which
helps to carry or transits the flavor. They also give energy or food value to the beverage.
Sugar is the sweetening agent, which is used in our industry. Sugar is color less or white
when pure and derived from sugar cane.
Syrup Preparation:
The preparation of the syrup is certainly one of the most important operations in the
beverage plant, both from the standpoint of sanitation and control of concentration. The
object in syrup making is to prepare satisfactorily bended and finished syrup from which
uniforms beverages of high quality can be produced.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 39

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
Normally required quantity of sugar of high quality is added to treated water and heated
to 850C, in a high grade stainless steel double jock vessel.
Filter paper and Hyflosupercel are used as filter aid. The temperature of the clear syrup
thus obtained is brought down to 200C and stored is called Simple syrup. When the
syrup is completely prepared by the addition and blending of all flavoring ingredients it is
called as Ready / Finished / Flavored syrup. The syrup is ready for use in production
process.
3. CO2 AND CARBONATION

The phenomenal of acceptance of carbonated beverage as a form of refreshment is done
in part to a unique taste, Zest, and sparkle imparted to the beverage by Carbon Di-Oxide.
It also adds to the life of the beverage. 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 beverages 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:
The ready syrup, which is prepared and stored in ready syrup tanks, is taken to the
bottling line. It is passed through 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.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 40

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
The dome as well as the body of the carbonator is filled with gas. Syrup is sprayed into
the carbonators from the top, which flows down through the baffle plates provided inside
the carbonator.
4. CONCENTRATES
Flavoring Materials used in making carbonated beverages are primarily are alcoholic
extracts, emulsions, alcoholic solutions or fruit juices. Concentrates or nonalcoholic
beverage bases are supplied by our principal 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.
Figure No 2.7: Concentrating Filling
5. BOTTLE WASHING AND BOTTLE INSPECTON

One of the most important aspects of the bottling operation is the cleaning of the reusable
bottle 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 or sterilizing agent, and of good
mechanical strength.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 41

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
The object of bottle washing is to product both a clean bottle and sterile one. The fact that
the bottle looks clean does not indicate it is sterile, and on the other hand, a dirty looking
bottle may be a sterile one. The present day bottle washer is designed to both clean and
sterilize bottle 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 germicidal
properties.
They also add certain chemicals to caustic solution to improve the detergent action of the
solution. 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, or
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 upside 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 at 450C 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% at 750C temperature. To get these best
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 42

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
results that bottles are to be soaked in this compartment for a minimum of 7 minutes at
the caustic strength & 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
at 50 to 550C.
5. Bottles are moved to a 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 40 to 450C.
Finally bottles free from caustic moved to a compartment called final rinse compartment
where the bottles are again, water sprayed both inside and outside with soft water to
deliver 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
methylene 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, finally the inspection is been done.
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 time. Provision should be made for changing inspectors frequently, and
adequate bring diffused light should be provided which illuminates all parts of
thebottle effectively, but does hot glare in the operators eyes.
A receptacle should be provided, convenient to the inspector for non-usable bottles,
and cases should be handy to accumulate unclean bottlers for rewashing. Those
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 43

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
bottles found acceptable to the empty bottle inspector are sent for filling and
crowning.
6. FILLING AND BOTTLING LINE

Figure No 2.8: Filling and bottling line
The bottles, on a suitable conveyor line arrive at the rotary filler, which is equipped with
filing heads. The beverages filling unit includes a filling tank, whichreceives beverage
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.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 44

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
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 to 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 collecting
table, where the bottles are manually collected and put in the crates of 24 bottles and
moved further for warehousing, and awaiting shipment.
7. 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. Sanitation is
necessary to insure the keeping qualities, proper appearance and full flavor of any soft
drink. When the equipment becomes contaminated, yeast, bacteria or mold
microorganisms begin to appear in the finished beverage. Increased number 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 offtastes and odors or product spoilage. Hence sanitation, good plant housekeeping and good
manufacturing practice are strictly implemented at N.B.P.L.

8. QUALITY ASSSURANCE:
Figure No. 2.9: Quality Assurance Department Lab

Perhaps the most important activities in a 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 top most quality of finished product, all the ingredients such as water, sugar,
Co2, concentrate are strictly inspected and analyzed by our 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.

Mckinseys 7S Framework:
The McKinsey 7S model can be applied to elements of a team or a project as well. The
alignment issues apply, regardless of how you decide to define the scope of the areas you
study. Let's look at each of the elements specifically.
Figure No: 2.10:McKinseys 7S Framework
1. STRUCTURE
Organization structure gives concrete shape to the organization. The structure
specifies division of work activities and shows how different function or activities are
linked. It also indicates the organizations hierarchy and authority structure, and
shows its reporting relationships. It provides the stability and continuity that allow the
organization to survive the comings and goings of individuals and to coordinate its
dealings with the environment.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 49

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
An organization structure can be viewed as accomplishing four different distinct
functions:
Dividing work into manageable segments,
Recombining work in a logical and efficient manner(work teams, departments,
etc)
Distributing power (authoritative)to direct or coordinate work.
Establishing channels of commutation and the directive or non directive nature of
information flow. In present case nectar beverage has a typical organization
structure as shown below:

2. SKILLS
Human skill plays significant role for the progress and proper functioning of the
organization. Training is one of the essential act of increasing the knowledge and skill
of an employee for doing a particular job. So training is imparted to employees to and
utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which employees learn technical
knowledge and skills for a definite purpose.
In other words, it improves changes and moulds the employees knowledge, skill,
behavior and aptitude towards the requirements of the job and the organization. So,
trained employees would be a valuable asset to an organization. As organizational
efficiency, productivity, progress and development to a greater extent depend on
training.
Organizational objectives like viability, stability and growth can also be achieved
through training. It is important as it constitutes a significant part of management
control.
Training enhances 4Cs viz
Competence
Commitment
Creativity
Contribution for the organization
Nectar beverage prefers and impart on the job training to training to their employees.
So here are the steps taken to impart necessary skills on the job training. The training
programmers commonly used to train operative and supervisory personnel discussed
are discussed below
ON JOB TRAINING METHODS:
This type of training also known as job instruction training is the most commonly
used method. Under this method, the individuals is placed on a regular job and taught
the skill necessary to perform that job. The trainee learns how to perform a job, he is
also a regular worker rendering the service for which he is paid.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 52

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
The problem of transfer of trine is also minimized as the person learns on-the-job. The
emphasis is placed on rendering services in the most effective manner rather than learning
how to perform the job.
So on job training methods include:
Coaching
Job instruction/training through step by step
3. STYLE:
Top down
At Nectar beverage, the style that is followed in the working of the organization is top
down. All the rules and regulation orders and decision are given by the top
management people namely board of directors, or the precedent which flows down to
the other members of the organization.
Line relationship:
The relationship existing between two managers due to delegation of authority and
responsibility and giving or receiving instructions or orders is called line relationship.
The line relationship generally exists between a superior & a subordinate. Line refers
to those positions of an organization which have responsibility, authority & are
accountable for accomplishment of primary objectives.
Managers identified as line are not subject to command by staff position. In case of
disagreement between line & staff, the line manager has the right to make final
operating decisions. Line authority represents uninterrupted series of authority &
responsibility delegating down the management hierarchy.
In other words the Board of Directors authority to the managing directors who inturn
delegates a part of his authority to the General Manager. The general manager in turn
delegates a part of his authority to different departmental heads & through them to the
supervisors. However the line managers are completely responsible & accountable for
the results achieved by the employees of the respective departments & sections.

The strategy in the McKinseys 7S framework includes the direction and scope of the
company. It also includes the integrated vision and direction of the company, its
purpose, mission, objectives and goals and policies.

The price of all Pepsi products is fixed by its parent company, Pepsi India ltd. If any
changes in the price setting are required then NBPL can send a resolution to the parent
company. Sometime price can be fixed depending upon the competitor activity.

Bottle charges
Tax rate
Transit cost to distributors.
AOP Strategy
Annual Operation planning is carried out every year where all the managers of various
franchisees meet at one place to decide on various aspects like pricing, Marketing
Promotions, Additional Coolers, and about the targets for the next year.
Promotional activities of NBPL

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.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 54

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
Brand recognition is the significant factor affecting Pepsis competitive position. Pepsis
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.

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strengths:
Pepsi have a broader product line and outstanding reputation.
Merger of Quaker Oats produced synergy across the board.
Record revenues and increasing market share.
Lack of capital constraints (availability of large free cash flow) Great brands,
strong distribution, innovative capabilities. Number one maker of snacks, such as
corn chips and potato chips.
PepsiCo sells three products through the same distribution channel.
For example, combining the production capabilities of Pepsi, Gatorade and
Tropicana is a big opportunity to reduce costs, improve efficiency and smooth out
the impact of seasonal fluctuations in demand for particular product.
Weaknesses:
Pepsi hard to inspire vision and direction for large global company.
Not all PepsiCo products bear the company name.
PepsiCo is far away from leader Coca-cola in the international market - demand
is highly elastic.
DVHIMSR, Dharwad
Page 70

BEVERAGES PVT LTD.
Opportunities:
Food division should expand internationally.
Noncarbonated drinks are the fastest-growing part of the industry and this market
is under served.
There are increasing trend toward healthy foods.
Focus on most important customer trend - "Convenience".
Threats:
Beverage industry is mature.
Pepsi is blamed for pesticide residues in their products in one of their most
promising and emerging market .e.g. in India.
Over 50 percent of the company's sales come from Frito-Lay; this is an area if
the market takes a downturn.
The Biggest threat to Pepsi is from Non-Carbonated Soft drinks wherein they
should focus more.
PepsiCo now competes with Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-Cola, and Kraft foods
(Because of broader product line) which are well-run and financially sound
Competitors).
Size of company will demand a varied marketing program; Social, cultural,
Economic, political and governmental constrains.
