Marketing & Sales

Cash and Accounts

Audit & Taxation

HRM DEPARTMENT

Recruitment Procedure in NBC

Major sources of potential job candidates are



Newspaper Adds

Internal Search Advertisement

Employees Referrals (Permanent Employees of NBC)

Manager’s Recommendations

The candidates are selected on the basis of

Written Test

Interview by HR Manger

Interview by Concerned Department Head

Final Interview by MD/Director

Interviews for worker level job where qualification and skill requirement is low, this

formal procedure is not adopted rather candidates abilities are fledged by department

head and sent to factory manager for approval. Orientation is the introduction of new into

his or her job & the organization. This is for few selected persons in NBC training is

generally on the job employees in all departments are bearing by the time or with the help

of seniors.

OBSERVATION & SUGGESTION

There should be proper planning by:

Assessing current human resource standards & generating human resources inventory.

Assessing future human resources needs by organization’s strategies & future programs.



After assessing current capabilities of future needs a program should be developed to have right person for the right job & at right time.

At the moment, HR department is itself facing staffing problem & it seems to be non existent.

The selection process through which candidates pass is very slow & time consuming pass is very slow and time consuming. Candidate have to sit day long waiting for management approval to start test & then. There is service of interviews which have no time table. It is generally three four days patience test & trouble some for candidates from other cities or already doing jobs.

For the medical bills and small loan employees need to get managing director’s approvals and then pass through a long procedure. It should be simplified. Department heads should be authorized to approved loans and medical bills up to a certain amount.

Computer & job related aptitude test should also be made part of selection tests to have better job personality fit.

Performance appraisal has only once but it was a useless exercise because its results were not used in future planning or changes. Performance appraisal should be conducted:

To know development & training needs of employees. To get performance feed back. Anticipate direction for future performance To change/ compensation system.

There is not idea of planned career development in NBC. Career development can be in term of job rotation, transfer & promotion. It improves the organization's ability to attract of retain talented people, anticipating change & helping employees to learn new skills and improve utilization of a personal abilities.

Motivation is the willingness to exert high level of effort to reach organizational goals. The general level of motivation in NBC employees is very low and in NBC employees is low and they are dissatisfied with their jobs and pay scales. Only best employee of the month program is implemented highlight employees whose work performance is excellent.



There would be lobbies or affiliations in the organization. These should be canalized in positive approach e.g. mentoring, communication link instead of source of conflicts.

Teams (functional, self-managed, cross functional, problem solving) should be to speed decisions, increase performance, facilitate cooperation & improve employee morale.

There must be some channel to communicate employees problem/suggestion/comments directly to top management e.g. suggestion box. These suggestions should be discussed in quality control meetings.

No attitude surveyor any internal research has ever conducted by the HR department to get insight of employees thinking.

Best employee of the month award should for each department.

Employees in NBC are performing well but they have low level of motivation. Absenteeism is controlled because total forty annual leaves are allowed but more important reason it that employees feel self responsibility. However the alarming indicators are turnover and job satisfaction. The organization is facing high turnover rate and employees are dissatisfied with their jobs and pay scales. Experienced staff is leaving the organization or searching for opportunities. With the kind attention and efforts of general manager & deputy general manager, the situation is improving. Qualified & young people are joining the organization.



MIS DEPARTMENT

PURCHASE AND PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT

As oppose to its meaning the root purpose of the purchase department is savings. Purchase department is very important because it has to get the cost efficiency. NBC does not rely on one supplier because it will create the monopoly of that supplier that creates problems for the company. To avoid such kind of monopoly of the supplier, company always prefers to have more than one supplier in their supplier list.

PURCHASING PROCESS

When store informs the purchase department about the purchase of a particular item, the purchase department gets information about the prices of desired items. At this level quotations are required by the department from its different suppliers. On receiving these quotations the selection of supplier is based on the low price and high quality. Another procedure is the negotiating the prices with the supplier. In this case the prices are settled at the desired level. After setting the prices, the order is placed to the supplier. When the goods are received their physical verification is done and in case of any shortage or poor quality product the respective supplier is informed. In this case the supplier has to bear the charges of shortages or low quality. In case of events like 14th August, Eids, Festivals Purchase department had to manage the supply at least 15 days before the occurrence of the event, because the production increases in these days due to high demand in the market.

SUPPLIERS

SHIPPING DEPARTMENT

Shipping is a very critical area for any beverage organization. It serves the role of coordinator or middleman between production and sales. Ensuring appropriate quantity and on time availability of empty & liquid stock is utmost important. Any malfunction in empty receiving, storage and supply to plants, liquid stock and distribution directly affects sales. This is a complete chain or cycle and any weak link, bottle neck or disturbances will slowdown the whole operations.

The Shipping System of NBC is responsible for the management of the Following tasks:

Shipping is responsible for managing the empties that are required for production.

Shipping is responsible for receiving the liquid clearance from excise to dispatch it further to Depots & distributors or parties.

Shipping is also responsible for maintaining proper stock of liquids and empties as they appear in the liquid and empties stock register, so as the stock appears in the registers, it should also be physically present in the depots.

The management of other empty stock is also the responsibility of Shipping Department and its exchange is especially important in this case.

SUPPLY OF EMPTY TO PLANTS

In this godown liquid, empties, shells and other different material is kept due to space problems.

OBSERVATION AND SUGGESTIONS

Extremely poor situation condition at godown # 2.. It is a very difficult task to manage vehicles parking at unloading pad, providing

way to forklifts transferring empty to the plants, and maintaining lanes properly. Trunks and other vehicles have to wait for hour in queue for their term.

No financial or statistical technique is used to calculate what is appropriate stock level in a depot, when liquid should be sent and in what quantity

Empty should be kept under shelter to protect against weather. There is no proper arrangement of empties. There should be kept in an ordered and countable way.

BRAND EQUITY OF DIFFERENT BRANDS

Research objectives

The basic purpose of this research is to calculate the Brand equity of three products each with a different brand name. Out of these three products one is competitor’s product and two Pepsi products.

These products are

7up. Sprite. Dew

This research will help in knowing the popularity of each product and will help company to understand about the position of each product. The marketing and advertising decision then can be based on our findings.

Brand Equity

There are different methods of brand equity and each method depends upon how brand equity is defined brand equity as.

“Brand equity is the position of the brand which effect the purchase of the customer, it is the share or ownership of that brand which is the mind of consumer”

In simple words it is positive attitude of the consumer towards that brand.

So there are two variables

Brand loyalty (it is calculated by the frequency of purchase). Perceived value (it is calculated by the relative price a customer can pay this

product).

Brand loyalty of a particular brand is the percentage of consumption of that brand out of total consumption of the consumer.

Perceived value is taken as the relative price the customer can pay so it depicts the brand value. This perceived value will be measured by asking the consumer about the price above the standard price which it will pay for the brand.



Simply we can say that brand equity difference on customer response so the above two variables will measure the ability of a brand to positively influence customer response

Research Method

The research method will be in the form of questionnaire survey specially designed to measure our variables.

Target population

Our targeted population is the end consumer of soft drinks from the age of 16 to 35 within the Gujranwala base.This range is defined on the basis of some assumptions which are following.Below 16 years of age mostly consumer doesn’t have the sense of association with the brand. The consumer below this age needs soft drinks irrespective of its brand.People above 35 years of age are health conscious and their preference and non preference is not based on the brand but on the health consciousness so adding people above this age will make the results biased.

Sample Size

The sample size will be 200 respondents.The selection area of the sample size independent upon the cost and time considerations.

Sampling Area

The sampling areas are the following Model Town Satellite Town DC Road University of the Punjab Cantt Civil line Road Jinnah Road

These areas are selected in order to have a proper mix of high, advantage and low income categories so that our sample can accommodate variability as present in the true population.

The above mentioned areas Model town and Cantt are high income areas where as Satellite town, Civil lines and DC Road are average income areas while Jinnah road is low income areas while University of the Punjab have a mix of students.



So the sample frame has a good potential of our respondents.

Statistical toolThe statistical tool for interpreting the results of this research expressed in %age and pie charts.

Identifying the Switcher and non Switcher

In order to have a deeper view of the behavior of consumer and loyalty of the consumers we asked respondent another question, “If your preferred drink is not available at a shop then will it go to another shop for that drink or buy another drink from the same shop.” Was asked and result were recoded. In interpreting the results of this question the respondents were divided into switchers and no switchers and the answer was recoded as “Yes” and “No” where “Yes represents a non switcher and “No” representing Switchers.

The result are very interesting which shows that what percentage of respondents select which brand in case of the non availability of their preferred brand out of the three brands so according to the result 33.2%respondents will select sprite in the absence of their preferred drink while 7up is at second positions where 25.5%respondents said that they will take 7up if their preferred brand out of the four given brand is not available and only 20% said that they will take Dew .The result is as under.

Brand loyalty

In order to calculate brand loyalty we needed two things, the total purchase (consumption) of the respondents and the purchase (consumption) of the drink .we recoded the total consumption of the respondents and also recorded the consumption of the preferred drink for each brand e.g. total consumption of respondents who preferred calculate by dividing the 1111 with 2297 and we get 48% brand loyalty.

This is how we calculate the brand loyalty but in our analysis we calculate the brand loyalty for switchers and non-switchers separately and assigned on different basis but we have assigned 70% to non-switcher and 30% to switchers and then calculated the weighted loyalty.

Another way to calculate the loyalty is that we apply the same formula as mentioned above for each respondent in each brand category and then calculate the average loyalty of switchers and non switchers in each brand but it has some critique as this will not calculate the brand loyalty instead it will tell us on average how loyal a respondent is in each brand.

We have calculated the result in the both way and the result are attached.



Relative Price

As mentioned in the research proposal that we need a measure of perceived value for the calculation of brand equity so we asked a question from respondent in each brand category to measure perceived value. This was measured by asking related questions about price. The price was calculated by taking the average of the prices answered in the questionnaire by the switchers and non-switchers.

Average consumption

The consumption of different brands was calculated as:

Brand Consumption Avg. consumption per consumer

Sprite 2011 524 27.93

Dew 4076 1061 56.62

Conclusion

Non-availability of dew is the reason that make user to switch toward sprite and same is

the case with sprite that is sprite is not available people will go for dew. In case where

7up is not available people said they would prefer sprite.

We are not suppose to convert sprite users into dew, or dew users into 7up actually more

promotional strategies can be helpful in increasing sales and brand loyalty. Investment

can be made and budgets can be rescheduled for promotional purposes.



FEASIBILITY OF AQUAFINA

The History of Water

About 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water.

Ninety-seven (97%) percent of the water on the earth is salt water. Salt water is filled with salt and other minerals, and humans cannot drink this water. Although the salt can be removed, it is a difficult and expensive process.

Two (2%) percent of the water on earth is glacier ice at the North and South Poles. This ice is fresh water and could be melted; however, it is too far away from where people live to be usable.

Less than 1% of all the water on earth is fresh water that we can actually use. We use this small amount of water for drinking, transportation, heating and cooling, industry, and many other purposes.

What is water made from?

Everything is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, like oxygen or hydrogen. Atoms join together to form molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. That's why water is sometimes referred to as H2O. A single drop of water contains billions of water molecules.

Methods of Water Purification

This is the most cost-efficient water filter since it does not use expensive equipment to remove unwanted substances.



History of Major Brands Available Gujranwala

Nestle

In 1992, Nestlé was the first company to dare to launch a mineral water, Valvert, in five different countries at once. Its originality lay in the use of an all-new plastic, P.E.T. (polyethylene teraphthalate), which is stronger and more elastic than the PVC used since 1968. Besides, P.E.T. is recyclable.

By the end of 1997, the Group was present on every continent, and the purchase of San Pellegrino gave it the leadership in the Italian market. In 1998, for the first time in its history, Nestlé associated its name with bottled water: Nestlé Pure Life.

The brand was launched in Pakistan and soon appeared in Brazil, followed by Argentina, Thailand, the Philippines, China, and Mexico in 2000. In 2001, India, Jordan, and Lebanon followed, and in 2002, Egypt, Uzbekistan and the United States.



Nestlé Pure Life is drinking water that has been treated and rematerialized using a standardized industrial process to ensure purity and quality and is marketed in emerging countries.

A second product with the Nestlé name was launched in May 2000, this time in six European countries: Nestlé Aquarel. Natural spring water currently from nine different springs in France, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Italy and Spain, Nestlé Aquarel also uses

the multi-source concept to satisfy new consumer expectations, especially for water with a low mineral content that the whole family can drink.

In April 2002, the Group changed its name to Nestlé Waters, a token of Nestlé's decisive commitment to the bottled water market, which now represents 9% of its sales. Today, Nestlé Waters is established in 130 countries and markets about 70 different brands. The Group is able to offer top quality brands and innovative packaging to meet the individual needs of the water consumer all over the world, whenever, wherever and however thanks to the wide variety of its offer in terms of distribution and product mix.

More Benefits to shopkeepers should be introduced.

Provide stands for putting the bottles as the recent market leader nestle is giving.

As nestle & aqua-safe have followed the riddle “customer is the king” Aquafina can be benefited from the success story of these brands.

Distribution Network

If we talking about the main and leader brand of the mineral water it is nestle and the company follow the strategy of distribution by the both method .the direct and indirect selling. But our brand Aquafina the company follows the method of indirect method which is problem to create and know the actual customer demand.



Incentive to distributor

The Nestle and Aqua safe provide the facility to indirect seller and the direct seller *salesman*to maintain the clients by the receiving amount of bill from agencies and shopkeeper according to their timing convince.

Promotion and Advertising

Each brand of the leader companies advertise as the main brand of the company. So Aquafina also adopt this policy.

Contracts in the organization of mineral water brand

In model town and satellite town the main bakers like Meer bakers has contract with nestle for selling the mineral water. They are bound to sale only nestle.

In Asim bakers and Al.Maraj Baker in model town satellite town we find different brand like Aqua safe, Sprigly, Askari.It means they are not bound such Brand.

In people colony only Utility store is bound to sale nestle.

In university of the Punjab and Punjab College we also find nestle not other Brand.

RATIO ANALYSISLiquidity Analysis

The current ratio is decreased that’s means the total assets against the total liabilities has been increased. The quick ratio also decreased its mean our inventory does not quickly become the part of production or on the other hand the goods are sold on credit basis which decrease the quick ratio. The absolute quick ratio increase to some extend it means we can easily pay our debts. Working capital decreases so we can limit to meet our daily expenses.

Activity Ratio

The inventory turn over ratio increase by some points and it’s favorable for our operation of business. Its mean the inventory more rapidly become the part of production. As the average collection period is increased. As the company policy is changed that company is poor to collect the money from the account receivables. Average payment period is decrease which is favorable. Its means we quickly meet the creditors payment. Total Asset turnover is decrease because we are not properly utilized the assets it’s become the cause of less sales volume.

Solvency Ratio

The solvency is increased which shows that our external obligations increases which is not favorable for the business.. Interest coverage ratio is also in poor area of the ratio analysis which shows the poor condition than the previous year its mean we have less amount for pay the interest to creditors. Over all the Solvency condition of the Pepsi Co is poor with the comparison to the previous year.

Profitability Ratio

The Gross Profit Margin with respect to the previous year is decreased and poor in the ratio analysis its means our production cost increases which is not earn favorable profit. Operating profit margin is increase its mean our profit margin increase as compare to expenses.net profit also decrease by 2%its shows our expenses of Tax and our expenses for interest increases. Earning per share decreases due to decline in net profit .Return on equity and return on asset also decreases because net profit. Overall all the analysis of profitability ratios interpret ate the poor conditions.



Market Ratio

Price Earning Ratio and the Market/ Book ratio are increased and decrease with respect to the previous year .Price earning ratio increase its shows the company performs better in secondary market. Market Book ratio decrease because our equity or retained earning decrease so automatically its effects the market /book ratio.

TREND ANALYSIS

In trend analysis we done two types of analysis, these are

1. Horizontal Analysis

It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income statement side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories on a year-to-year or multiyear basis.

A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done by restating amount of each item or group of items as a percentage.

2. Vertical Analysis

Like horizontal analysis this can also done for balance sheet and income statement. Here we assign 100% value to any key item of balance sheet or income statement and then see portion of other items in this percentage.

Cross sectional analysis

"It in loves comparing the firm's ratios to those of others firms in its industry or to industry averages."

RECOMMENDATIONS

Management of the company is not participative. The company should use the participative management system in order to increase the job satisfaction level of employees

Employee turnover rate is very high in the organization. Management should take effective actions to reduce it.

NBC major fault is that wasn’t keep its pace with on going changing in industry

unlike Coca Cola. Now NBC combining all it power and trying to approach like Coca

Cola.

Latest reorganizing efforts are necessary to make it cost effective also making its

facility accordingly to modern conditions

Company management has to put its all effort to change the prevailing culture of the

company and to put the foundation stone of business oriented culture. In which

employees give important to the company and its customer.



To attract the customer in the future NBC have to make extensive effort to give extra

facilities to retailers and consumers.

The outlook and interior lay out of the company is another thing which needs to be

improved.

The procedure of taking services from the company must be made easier and straight

forward not involving long difficult procedure for simple task.
