Limitations• Research work was carried out in Surat only. The findings may not be
applicable to the other parts of the country because of individual psychological differences.
• The sample was collected using convenience-sampling techniques. As such result may not give an exact representation of the population.
• Due to busy schedule of respondents, they may not fill the questionnaire with their true feeling regarding their preference.
• Questions may not be fully understood by the respondents and hence cannot yield accurate result.
• The depth of the questions is limited as the questions are close ended and so the respondents cannot express their views in detail.
• The study is conducted over only a few respondents hence the effects and views cannot be generalized to the masses.
• The satisfaction levels are not constant on every day.
Findings• Value for money is the attribute consumers are least satisfied with and
freshness is the most satisfactory attribute of all.• Factors such as natural milk and loyalty (always been using it) are largely
responsible for the usage of Amul/Sumul brand. Availability of Sumul on all days is also an important factor. Timely delivery is rated the lowest.
• Considering all types of milk, full cream/whole milk/buffalo milk has been the most preferred type of milk satisfying almost all attributes of the milk. Whereas the standardized milk is the next preferred type of milk.
• Considering all forms of milk, packed unhomogenised milk is the most used form of milk satisfying almost all the attributes of the milk. Whereas the loose milk is least preferred form of milk.
• Satisfaction of the customer regarding high fat of the milk varies according to the form of milk.
• Satisfaction level regarding thickness of the customer varies with the type of milk.
Conclusion• Value for money is an attribute which needs to be looked upon. Sumul can launch low cost
milk or do some reductions in the current prices to increase the satisfaction level of their customers hence increasing their customer base.
• Maintaining the freshness of the milk is highly recommended as it’s the most satisfactory attribute.
• Sumul can concentrate more on delivering the milk on time in various areas. • Good in maintaining their customer base. Therefore they can also initiate certain customer
loyalty rewards for maintaining the same.• With respect to different attributes, full cream/whole milk/buffalo milk has been the most
preferred of all types. Therefore, Sumul can look into increasing satisfaction level of these attributes in other types as well to increase their sale and demand.
• Packed unhomogenised form of milk has been preferred by all. • Consumers’ satisfaction levels in terms of certain attributes are dependent on the form of
milk they purchase. For e.g., satisfaction level of high fat varies with the type of milk. Therefore Sumul can concentrate on fat related or specific promotions to increase the sales of certain products such as Amul Gold and Amul shakti.
• Same sort of initiations and promotions can be done with respect to thickness of the milk as its satisfaction level also varies with the form milk.
