place new facilities. Location decisions are important due to following reasons.
Competition.
Quality
Product differentiation
Cost.
Hidden effects.
Raw material

Weather
Proximity to customer
PEST Analysis
The macro environment consists of the larger societal forces that affect the
microenvironment. The external factors are not under the control of the strategists; they
can just observe them and make strategies in light of these factors. Some of these factors
are given below:
Whenever the government is considered to be stable, the business will increase. If there is
political stability in the country the policies and strategies made by Pepsi can be
consistent to be implemented. Foreign companies are also keen to invest in those
countries which are politically stable where they have no fear of decline in their market
share or shut down due to sudden change of government.
Mixed Economy
In mixed economy government and private sector both plays their role in developing the
economy of the country. Investment by foreign companies like Pepsi is more likely to
flourish in mixed economy.
Laws Formulation
Government has given copy rights to Pepsi so that another company cannot sell their
product by the name of Pepsi. The countries where laws are formulated, the strategies and
activities of the company are different.
Social Responsibility
Pepsi’s social responsibility is to provide its customers with clean and hygienic product
so to do this they have increased the use of disposable bottles.
Economic Factors
If the income level or per capita income of the people increases, it will have a positive
effect on the consumption of Pepsi.
Inflation
If the country faces inflationary trend in the market, the price of the Pepsi will ultimately
increase which will lower its demand.
Consumption Behavior
Pakistan is a consumption oriented society. Due to demonstration effect the people are
more inclined towards consumption than saving. So the people of Pakistan spent heavily
on food items. Hence Pepsi has a good market share in the present circumstances.
Income Distribution
It means how much is in the hands of rich and poor class. In Pakistan 10% rich people
posses 93% of wealth and 90% people posses 7% of wealth. If there is balanced
distribution of income in the country, the consumption of the people will increase hence
increasing the sales of beverages as well.
Payment Mod
As the use of plastic money is increasing the consumption pattern of the people are
increasing. Although it will have a low affect on the consumption of Pepsi.
Employment Opportunities
As employment opportunities increase the living standard of the people increase and the
people consume more.
Aggregate Demand
In case of Pepsi, aggregate demand of the product increases in the season of summer as
the hot weather makes the consumers want to drink more.
Aggregate Supply
In summer season to cope up with the increasing demand they have to increase the
aggregate supply of their product.
Economic Policies
Some of the economic policies which can affect the market of Pepsi are discussed below:
Fiscal Policy
It is the policy of taxes. If heavy tax is levied on Pepsi then its price will rise having
negative effect on its consumption.
Monetary Policy
Monetary policy is made to restrict or increase the supply of money in the market. If
policies are made to restrict the flow of money in the market, inflation can be controlled
hence increasing the real income of the people which will ultimately affect the
consumption of Pepsi.
Price Policy
If price of Pepsi is increased its demand will decrease and vice versa.
Income Policy
If income of the people will increase their purchasing power will increase and hence
increasing the market share of Pepsi.
Psychographic
Religious
Religious factors can influence the market sales of Pepsi as it happened in 2003 when the
U.S-led attack on Iraq, wide sections of society in Pakistan has banned American
multinationals Coke and Pepsi.
Social Status
Pepsi is a well renowned brand. People who are brand conscious will not drink beverages of
lesser known brands such as Amrat cola. They will try to show their status by drinking Pepsi
which is known to all as a quality drink.
Media
It is a very important factor for marketing. Media these days is a very effective way of
inspiring people to buy a specific product. A good promotion can boast up sales to a great
extent.
Technological Factors
Through research and development quality of the product can be improved or better
techniques or machinery can be developed which can increase the production. When
technology is advance the supply of the product increase hence the company experiences
growth in their business.

Basic production process involves the main six plants’ that further leads to production process.
At initial, there is so much complexities that must be handled and controlled well so that to safe
the mishap in further stages of production.
Now production main and basic plants are:
1) Syrup plant
2) Clean in process
3) Water Treatment Plant
Product Planning
At present new product assessment is taken by the upper management. Demand for new product
& services are investigated by production general manager- terms of raw material, equipment
function, and quality. For this point he can get direction from constructions. Finance department
evaluates financial capability. Sample production is conducted. Response from buyer in terms of
satisfaction and company’s ability to meet the requirement helps in deciding to produce new
product.
Process Design
In the company process is continuous supply of concentrate is critical but process can be
automated. Production process is flexible and process can be changed within 45 minutes to one
hour. Production is of large scale and covers a wide area for the distribution of the product.
Physical layout & design of plant and supporting facilities and building is provided by the parent
company that is PEPSI COLA International. A transportation or logistics cost with the plant is
minimum. Physical layout provides maximum utilization of technology, labor and available
space by optimizing costs.
Inventory
Company is using the qualitative & quantitative methods for calculating EOQ, carrying cost,
safety stock, reorder point, and annual inventory cost. The company does not give importance to
control inventory cost. Lead time is usually 2 days and in an exceptional case it can be up to 4-5
days. This also one reason that EOQ, FIFO, lead time are calculated using qualitative techniques,
by estimates of experienced managers of different fields.
Inventory Management
Inventory is very significant to many organizations because it helps the organization take action
quickly to customer demand, which is a main element of competitive approach. Inventories of
raw material processed goods can help a organization complete the production cycle in a much
shorter time then would otherwise be possible. The more affective a company inventory’s
system, the better able it is to manage its resources and to compete efficiently & effectively.
An inventory system is collection of people, machinery and procedures that function to maintain
quantity of each item in inventory and to determine which item should buy or produce in what
quantities and at what time. Some inventory systems require transaction reporting to keep track
of every instance in which units are added or taken from the existing inventory at PBC can be
classified into five categories.
General items.
Lubrication items.
Stationary items.
Electric items.
Part items.
When production department need a particular thing from inventory, they fill the demand slip.
One copy is kept at the store and a carbon copy is kept by the production department. This
demand slip includes the quantity issued, stock register page number, item code, this demand slip
is signed by the production manager. Inventory items are issued on these slip.
Control of Inventory
At the end of each month, store prepares a monthly utilization report. This report includes the
detail of all the inventory items which were consumed by the production department of PBC
during the month
Company produces beverages and uses Sugar, Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia and concentrate as
raw material. Soft drink is a seasonal product. Most of the sale is done during summer season.
Concentrate is bought from the franchiser Pepsi Co. Sugar is bought directly from the sugar
manufacturers of the area. CO2 is prepared within the organization, which is enough for the full
capacity of two plants. When during 6 plants are in working, CO2 is purchased from the outside
suppliers.
Quality Department
Quality standard is maintained at each and every stage. Punjab Beverages & CO. has won best
quality award for many times by Pepsi Cola International competing all the Asian countries.
Quality control labs are fully equipped. Quality controllers/ chemist are at home in their jobs.
That’s why the quality control efforts are recognized by the international management of Pepsi
cola. They are focus on quality “ the poor quality is equal to zero”
Quality Control
“Quality control system implement in process to achieve the above quality standard”.
To take Corrective action about processes when actual quality various from the
acceptable quality.
Quality requirement is part of product design activity, and culminate in the quality specifications
and design sub system to assure the quality with standard.

Chapter No: 4
Syrup Room
In syrup room, the syrup for the final beverage is prepared with the help of water and
sugar. Some heat exchangers and filters are also used. The description of the processes,
being used in syrup room is mentioned as:
Purpose
To upgrade the quality of refined sugar by the treatment of with activated carbon at the
elevated temperature to kill bacteria and, especially pathogenic bacteria and de-coloring
of syrup.
Principles of Operation
Heating the simple syrup solution helps the activated carbon to remove impurities and
also kill the yeast, mold and many bacteria and it also lower the viscosity of the syrup,
thereby increasing the filtration flow rate.
• SUGAR BUNKER
• RECURPERATION TANK
• DISSOLVING TANK
• REACTION TANK
• DOSING TANK
• FILTERS
• BAG FILTERS
• HEAT EXCHANGER
• SIMPLE SYRUP
Sugar Bunker
Sugar is added in sugar bunker continuously. Sugar bunker having vertical and horizontal
conveyor. The sugar goes into the dissolving tank by horizontal conveyor. It is continuous
process.
Recuperation Tank
Treated water is stored in the recuperation tank. Treated water suck by the pump and pass
from the heat exchanger .The temperature of the water should rise to 850C.
Dissolving Tank
In dissolving tank sugar and water is added. Crystallization is also take place. Syrup is passed
from crystallizer. Crystallizer having four filters. The purpose of crystallizers to recycle the sugar
that are not dissolved. Then syrup is passed from A.C tank.
Activated Carbon Tank
The syrup is passed to activated carbon tank. The correct amount of activated carbon is added to
the solution and syrup is agitated, so the carbon is contact with syrup. Then syrup is passed to
reaction tank.
Reaction Tank
The purpose of reaction tank to
To operate like antigens.
To filter foreign particles.
Dosing Tank
In syrup room tank we add filter powder and dose them with syrup
Filters
A filter contains sieves. Filter powder remain on to the sieves that does not passed the A.C
remains on the sieves but syrup passes easily. It also removes other foreign matters.
Bag Filter
The purpose of bag filter is to completely remove A.C.
Heat Exchanger
Heat exchanger having three stages
1. First stage the temperature of syrup is 85oc.
2. 2nd stage temperature of syrup decreased in between 40-45oc.
3. 3rd stage the temperature of syrup is 25oc.
Then simple syrup is stored in storage tank.
Clean In Process (C.I.P)
The main purpose of clean in process (CIP) is to clean the syrup tanks when needed. It is
required because if market demand is more of Pepsi but changed to Dew, then tanks must
be washed through CIP to make, as different chemicals are used in different brands.
Steam is present in CIP system and through brushes and different rotators syrup tanks are
washed.
These three plants are very much closely related. They also live side by side. High steam
and brushed makes easy to wash tank automatically. This plant solution is also checked at
different levels be the chemists of quality control department.
Test Performed for Syrup
1) T.A TEST
2) INVERTED BRIX TEST
3) BRIX TEST
4) C.D TEST
2. INVERTED BRIX
1) Take a sample 30ml
2) Add1 drop of HCL.
3) Place into water bath at 90oc temp. for 45 mints
4) Cooled the sample.
5) Then check the brix on refractometer.
3. BRIX Test
1) Take 500ml simple syrup in cylinder
2) Dip the hydrometer into cylinder.
3) Note the brix and temperature on the hydrometer
4) Note the reading.
Then Bottle is brought to the washer and in washer. It is very important portion of the filling unit
and special attentions are concentrated on that process because whole quality of the product is
depending upon that portion. There are many stages of washing and bottle is washed by hot
water and caustic soda and clean water.
After filling the bottle, capper is used for capping the filled bottles.
Then again, catcher is used for packaging the bottles to crates then by lifter it is transported

Then final product is wrapped with plastic sheet and packaging is done. So final product is trans
shipped for the sales
PACFILGBEKVRN
The complete chart of all processes for PET bottles is as
Process Flow
First of all the empty bottles are put on the running conveyor. Conveyor is in the moving
state with the help of pulley and gear system. Point to be noted that soap is put on
conveyor and boiled water below the conveyer melts the soap, creating its foam its foam
on conveyer thus bottles smoothly pass on it and not fall.
In next step bottles pass from both side of the of light screen on light conveyor,
thus operator checks either is any breakage, is printed monogram on bottles, so
that pick those bottles and remaining bottles reach the table conveyer.
Now machines put the bottles in tank no: 1 once at a time. There are pre-rinse jets
in first tank. It has treated with water coming from tank no: 4 through carry over
pump. Tank no: 1 has only soft water. The water is replaced on weekly basis.
After initial washing bottles enter in 2nd tank which is big size than 1st tank. Pump
is attached with caustic tank which suck water (caustic mixed) from it and after
passing from filter this water falls on jets. Jets through water with pressure inside
the bottle for washing.
Tank no: 3 which is big size than tank no: 2 and has caustic in it. It is used to clear
washing and appearance and also used to remove date from bottle. Its remove
impurities, straws, bees’ ets from water. It also has five jets.
Now bottles enter into tank no: 4 which have only soft water in it. Temperature is
maintained from bottles coming in it and by the wall of 3rd tank at 45-55oc.no use
of steam pipe line for temperature. Here a pipe line is coming from R.O plant for
treated water. When bottles are near to come out from washer, treated water is
used to wash from inside at the end of process.

AQUAFINA
Water is the necessity of our daily life, it’s so important for us that we need clean,
safe and sanitary water every day, and usually there’s a more strict inspection standard in
the more advanced country. There are two kinds of drinking water in the market. One is
the natural water, which is called mineral water. The other is processed water coming
from underground or from the pipe of water plant, which is called R.O. water, space
water or pure water. Mineral water comes from natural springs. It contains a lot of
various kinds of chemical goods such as potassium, magnesium and calcium, which are
healthy to our body. After the water is filtered and sterilized properly, it’s our first choice
to use it. However, the shortcoming is that the source of mineral water is limited. On the
other side, pure water doesn’t contain any nutrition, but it’s easy to be obtained and very
clean after being processed. It tastes good with PH value 5-7 that’s the reason why people
like it very much. Pure water is processed through different stages of a filter system such
as sand, carbon, and Reversed Osmosis System. The water is passed Page 49 from 5
micron through 1 to 0.2 micron filter. After that, pure water can be filtered to remove
harmful materials with an efficiency of 96%.
Method of Mineral Water Testing
Processing mineral water from underground water resource or other resources goes as
follows.
1) Motor pump is used to draw water from theses sources or source which is transported
to the source water reservoir. Coagulation chemical is added to remove the settled
colloidal and suspended materials contaminated in the water. Water is then sterilized
using oxidants like chlorine or other chemicals to kill harmful bacteria and
microorganism.
2) Filtration is the next step. Using filtration system like Quartz Sand Filtration System
gives good purifying results. After purification water contains very little amount of
suspended solids.
3) For further purification, water is absorbed on the activated carbon which absorbs most
pollutants dissolved in water. This also helps in the removal of the odors and helps in
improving the flavor of the water.
4) After being purified water softening is done by passing water through the tank
containing sodium ion. The tank consist of resin pellets and the softening is done by ion
exchange method Water still contains small micro pollutants that are removed by passing
them through tanks that are meant for this purpose. Apart from this method reverse
osmosis process is also used for obtaining pure water. In this process water is purified by
using semi permeable membrane. Purified water is sterilized or disinfected and then
packed for market.
Process Description
Natural springs or underground water drawn by the motor pumps is sent to the source
water reservoir. An agglomeration of colloidal and suspended materials contaminated
in the water settles and is removed through addition of coagulant chemicals. The
water is then processed by sterilization with chlorine or related chemicals so as to kill
a large portion of the bacteria and microorganisms in the water.
The water is then filtered through layers of varying depth of uniformed Quartz Sand
Filtration System. This slow filtration gives good purifying results so that the water
will not contain any large quantity of suspended solids.
The water is then absorbed on the activated carbon. It’s currently one of the safest
means for purifying drinking and mineral water. Activated carbon absorbs most
pollutants dissolved in water. Water containing a very small quantity of residual
pollutants can be removed. Water purified through the activated carbon process may
have odors removed and its flavor improved.
The water passes through a salt tank full of Na+ ions where there are lots of resin
pellets in it. The purpose of using Na+ ions is to soften the water; most of the
different mineral goods are absorbed away from the water in the process.
The water is then passed through the 1.45μand 1μfilter, which eliminates the micro
pollutants and micro toxic substances.
The treated water is then discharged into a UV sterilizer system for sterilization. This
process destroys any disease-producing bacteria or microorganisms which might exist
in the mineral water, thus making it more sanitary and safe to drink.
The final 0.2μfilter is then used as a final safety filter since the water must be
permanently free from any matter that might escape from the proceeding treatment.
After that, the treated water is stored in the pure sanitary grade water reservoir.
The mineral water is then pumped into the filling machine. The high-speed machine
fills seals and dates the carton automatically.
The sealed cartons of mineral water are then moved into a refrigerated warehouse by
a convey system where they remain until ready for shipping.
As for pure water RO processing system, it starts the same processes with mineral
water for the beginning five stages, then
Through a buffer reservoir, water is passed through the 5μand 1μfilter, which
eliminates the micro pollutants and micro toxic substances.
Reversed Osmosis System is used to make sure that mineral goods are removed from
the water completely.
An Ozone Producing Equipment is used to produce ozone; the treated water is then
mixed with ozone in the mixing tank for sterilization
Pre-Treatment Operations
After the completion of water treatment process, the pet bottle is filled is the water and nitrogen
gas is dozed into the bottle and after this cap is applied by capper machine. Plastic sheet is sealed
at the neck of the bottle to make it seal pack and ink coder is used for coding on the pet bottle
Capping of mineral water bottle Sealing pack the mineral water bottle
The final product is automatically and manually inspected, if any defect is found, the defected
piece is separated from the lot. Then product comes to the packaging line with the help of
conveyor belt and it is it is wrapped and packed with the plastic sheet and then to the lifter and
then for transportation.
