Rice krispies

Introduction Rice Krispies (known as Rice Bubbles in Australia and New Zealand) is a breakfast cereal that was created by Clayton Rindlis bacher for the Kellogg Company, and later marketed by Kellogg's in 1927 and released to the public in 1928. Rice Krispies are made of crisped rice (rice grains that are cooked, dried and toasted), and expand forming very thin and hollowed out walls that are crunchy and crispy. When the cereal is subjected to a change in heat, the walls tend to collapse, creating the famous "Snap, crackle and pop" sounds.

Rice Krispies cereal is widely known and popular with a long advertising history, with the cartoon characters Snap, Crackle, and Pop touting the brand. In 1963, The Rolling Stones recorded a short song for a Rice Krispies television advertisement. Rice Krispies are also an important ingredient in Rice Krispies treats made by combining the cereal with melted marshmallows.

The Nestle growth and Market shares:

The Nestle has 70 to 80 percent market shares and they are exporter to major countries of the world like UAE, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand.

And they have also won the international food award of 2005. Now they are ISO, 9001-2008 certified.

SWOT Analysis Nestlé

Strengths

Global food producer, located in over 100 countries. Consistently one of the world's largest producers of food products, with sales in the USA in 2008 of $10 billion; sales and earnings in 2008 were better than expected, even in a downturned economy. Global sales in 2008 topped $101 billion.

Repeatedly ranked as the world's largest bottled water company and have set up facilities to operate water resources in a responsible manner.

In 2008, Nestlé was named one of "America's Most Admired Food Companies" in Fortune magazine for the twelfth consecutive year.

Nestlé provides quality brands and products and line extensions that are well-known, top-selling brands including:

Lean Cuisine, Yoplait, Maggi, Dryer's/Edy's, Haagen-Dazs, Stouffer's, Boost, Dibs, Hot Pockets.

Chocolate and Candy: Kit Kat, Toll House, Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Crunch Bar, the Willy Wonka Candy line.

Pet Products: Purina, Alpo, Cat Chow, Fancy Feast, Friskies, Tidy Cat. Drinks: Carnation, Perrier, Nesquik, S. Pellegrino, Nescafe, CoffeeMate, Taster's Choice,

Juicy Juice. General Mills: subsidiary which makes Betty Crocker, Bisquick, Hamburger Helper,

Pillsbury, Old El Paso, cereals, fruit snacks, frozen pizza, canned soups, frozen vegetables, ready-made frozen meals.

Gerber: baby formula, prepared baby foods, baby cereals, water, juice, yogurt, foods for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

Professional brands sold to restaurants, colleges, hotels, and food professionals including Jenny Craig meals, Impact liquid meals for trauma patients, liquid meals for diabetics, and OptiFast weight loss products.

MAJU Islamabad. Page 8

Page 9: fawad

Rice krispies

Successful due in part to their unquestionable ability to keep major brands consistently in the forefront of consumer's minds (and in their shopping carts) by renovating existing product lines, keeping major brands from slipping into saturation/decline and having superior access to distribution channels.

Weaknesses

Their LC-1 division was not as successful as they thought it would be in France. In the late 1980s, Dannon entered the market with a health-based yogurt, and become the top selling brand of yogurt; Nestlé's 1994 launch was behind the product life cycle curve in an already mature market and could not compete against a strong, established brand.

Growth in their organic food sales division was flat in 2008, even though the industry grew 8.9%.

Since 2004 the breakfast cereal industry has been under fire from the FDA and the American Medical Association, both of which say that false claims of "heart healthy" and "lower cholesterol" need to be removed from packaging and advertising. They have also been forced to reduce the amount of sugar in their products, as parent's advocates groups claimed they were contributing to the diabetes epidemic among American children.

General Mills is an experienced, established brand and are the market leader in the USA, however, they have been lacking in innovation, have not cashed in on the booming health food craze and have been behind in creating new, niche products, especially in their yogurt division, where Yoplait is the only brand making a profit.

In 2008, although their products did not carry the recalled pistachios, several of their ice cream brands, Dryer's, Edy's and Haagen-Dazs, were still plagued with bad PR and loss of sales.

Opportunities

In today's health conscious societies, they can introduce more health-based products, and because they are a market leader, they would likely be more successful.

Provide allergen free food items, such as gluten free and peanut free. They launched a new premium line of higher cacao content chocolates dubbed Nestlé

Treasures Gold, in order to cash in on the "recession economy" in which consumers cut back on luxury goods, but regularly indulge in candy and chocolate. Americans want luxury chocolates, and high-end chocolate is immune to the recession (so far), because it is an inexpensive indulgence.

Opened Nestlé Café's in major cities to feature Nestlé products.

Threats

Any contamination of the food supply, especially e-coli. Their Toll House brand cookie dough was recalled in March of 2009 because of e-coli. Outbreaks were linked to 28 states and the product had to be recalled globally. Nestlé has yet to find out how this happened, and is still investigating.

They were affected by the pet food recall in 2007, in which 95 different brands of dog and cat food was recalled due to contamination with rat poison. Also in 2007, FDA learned that certain pet foods were sickening and killing cats and dogs. FDA found contaminants in vegetable proteins imported into the United States from China and used as ingredients in pet food.

MAJU Islamabad. Page 9

Page 10: fawad

Rice krispies

Raw chocolate ingredient prices are soaring; dairy costs alone rose 50% in 2008, this cuts heavily into their profit margins and often gets passed on to consumers, by shrinking the packaging in a way that is almost unnoticeable-therefore the consumer is paying the same prices for less product.

They have major competitors, like Hershey's, Cadbury-Schweppes (owned by Pepsi), Lindt and Ghirardelli, Kellogg's, Post, Starbucks, Beech-Nut, Quaker, Kraft Foods, Dannon, Del-Monte, Iams, Earth's Best, Heinz, Frito-Lay (owned by Pepsi).

Environmental AnalysisMAJU Islamabad. Page 11

Page 12: fawad

Rice krispies

Environmental threats: Nestle and Fauji cereals are major threats to our product because they are already present in the market and providing low price and good quality products. They attract the customers by giving those best packages, better taste and more.

Opportunities: There are vast varieties of opportunities. Those are that our competitors are providing product but in their products there are less number of nutrition’s by this we will make customers by providing them high nutrition’s because everybody wants that they get healthy products for their health.

Trends exist: We first launch our product in the market and then we will increase our sale day by day according to market conditions. For the first time we will provide sample to make ensure our customers about our products.

Political factors

The main political factors in this industry are employment laws, Food and Drug Administration laws, and freedom of business practices in the Pakistan, trade regulations in the Pakistan and other countries and the global code of ethics. Employment laws affect the company in that they differ in different countries, and the company must adapt its wages and hours to fit these regulations. The company can add value by manufacturing its products in areas where the cost is the least for labor. The manufactured product must also meet FDA regulations, which is a political factor in that all the products must meet certain quality levels, levels that change due to which country the food is being sold in, such as regulations that are different in different countries. Trade and tariff laws also affect Kellogg's because it operates internationally, and must meet international market regulations keep in mind the logistic costs involved in the movement of the cereals and other goods between borders.

Economical Factors

Exchange rates and inflation Exchange rates largely affect Rice krisphies because of its products which are sold in other countries, and the better the exchange rate, the more profit is earned. Inflation rates affect Rice krispies the most, because it is basically a low-cost product, and consumers buy it as such. Inflation means consumers buy less of the products, because they have less money to spend.

Sociological factors

Rice krispies must study lifestyle trends such as the demand for sugary products versus organic ones, quality products versus cheap ones, and which promotional techniques will be most effective to the niche which they are targeting. To add value to their company this is one of the most important factors because it determines on who buys their product, and how often.

Technological factors

Rice krispie is affected by many technological factors in the logistics of how it moves its products, keeps tracks of its accounts, and even manufactures its cereals. New technology and shipping companies such

We should develop strategies to improve access to existing technologies to reduce our cost and to offer a reasonable price to our customers.

Alternative Functional Strategies

In the case of failure of our marketing plan when we fail to achieve our target sales, we have a contingency plan that is we should start Rice Krispie shops first in Islamabad and than in other cities. We do not stop sailing Rice Krispies. Through this we can attract people to our Rice krispies. Through providing a quality Rice Krispies in our shops.

Main purpose of introducing our Rice krispies shops is to take attention of people to our newly introduced Rice krispies.

Rice krispies

Porter’s Five Forces

Forces analyze a company by addressing which suppliers, buyers, barriers and substitutes in its given industry.

Suppliers

Kellogg is a major corporation which sells brand name Rice krispies cereals, snacks and a few other products. This means is must have a great deal of raw materials with which to make its products. To make its Rice krispies, the main product which the Kellogg’s brand name is known for, it has suppliers for raw ingredients such as grain, Rice, sugar (glucose and fructose), salt, malt (corn flour, malted barley) , sucrose, and dairy products. It also has suppliers who provide the packaging such as cardboard boxes and plastic bags, and suppliers such as David Michael who provide flavorings and colorings to the cereal making process. They also must have labor supplies, processing and packaging equipment, and things that provide sanitation, refrigeration and waste removal.

Buyers

Buyers are key component to the industry of cereals and Rice krispies, which Kellogg’s competes in. Kellogg mostly sells in bulk to wholesalers and retailer stores such as super markets. Then individual packages from those stores are bought by individual customers from a wide segment of people who are brand loyal to one or two certain types of cereals based on demographic and psychographic segmentation aspects. Kellogg must be constantly aware of what the individual customer is likely to buy more of, or how to update its products to meet new trends, such as the demand for healthier, whole-grain cereals within the same brand that the customer is loyal too.

MAJU Islamabad. Page 17

Page 18: fawad

Rice krispies

Substitutes

Since Rice krispies is in the food industry, there are dozens of other substitutes with which it competes. Other cereal companies such as Nestle cereals and Fauji cereals, and since the switching price for the customer is so low -just walk over to a different section of the shelf- it is very constant competition. A customer may also just choose not to buy cereal, or they may have regularly changing preferences as to which cereal or snack food they buy.

New Entrants

The barriers specific to the Rice Krispie product are ones of low product cost due to cereals being sold in bulk, the high number of different products, the product mix and economies of scope, and the maturity of the cereal industry in its product age and brand loyalty of its consumers.

Industry Competitors

In market there are many competitors. We will face lot of road blocks in our launching the product in the market. We will remove that road blocks and overcome the market and become market leader because we are providing more healthy and quality product to our customers.

Value Chain Analysis

Supplier End

Inbound logistics are a critical part in supply chains that involve manufacturing and getting all the required parts and raw materials in the right order, the right quantity, the right quality and the right time to the manufacturing and assembly plants. In the process of finding the most cost-effective ways to organize these very complex logistics activities, inventory levels are being reduced and technological advances are put to use to provide a way to see the location of all parts moving to the plant at any given time.

Transportation and warehousing are a big part of most inbound logistics chains, but Kellogg’s service portfolio goes beyond this. Quality control is assured to guarantee that Kellogg's is manufacturing products with safe, healthy, and flavorful. Many of Kellogg’s standards are even stricter than those required by the government. Kellogg's Quality Assurance workers often visits suppliers’ plants to assure that proper sanitation procedures are being followed and that the raw materials they supply meet Kellogg’s specifications.

Operations and manufacturing is the next critical step along the value chain. Sub-assembly is the assembly of a component from individual parts before onward distribution. Sub-assembly services can be found in the electronics, automotive and fast moving consumer goods industries. These provide a cost

MAJU Islamabad. Page 18

Page 19: fawad

Rice krispies

efficient solution for customers. Inventory planning is used in order to maintain optimal stock for the required level of service with minimal cost and Kellogg's tightly controls inventory flows by using the latest and most innovative warehouse management systems. Line replenishment ensures that the right material is available at the right place when it is needed on the production line. Kellogg’s packaging techniques are designed to help maintain nutrient levels, freshness, and flavor. Packaging protects products during handling, shipping and storage. It also provides important consumer information. Packages are made from various materials that are selected after extensive testing. Moisture and/or air permeability, the effect of aging and various storage conditions on product protection, and consumer acceptability are key factors in selecting packaging materials.

Forward End

After-market logistics and service is one of the most important steps for Kellogg’s. Normally, one would not think a cereal company would need such a thing, but the truth is that is what makes Kellogg’s a household favorite among families. Kellogg’s customer service is remarkable. All of Kellogg’s products are “guaranteed,” this means if a customer is not satisfied with a product, that they are able to obtain a full refund.

When Kellogg started manufacturing his original rice krispies, he had a goal: to provide his customers with a high-quality, nutritious product that was enjoyable to eat. Today, Kellogg's Company still follows this basic idea – “every Kellogg employee has a responsibility for maintaining the high quality of Kellogg products.” It is plain to see that Kellogg’s strives for simplicity. They stop processes, procedures and activities that will slow the company down or will not add value. This is important to the company as well as its customers. It assures that results will be greater in the long run and operations will run smoothly.

Supply chain

Indirect distribution

Agent Wholesale Retailer Customers

Direct distribution

Sales person Customers

We are launching a new product that’s why we will adopt all the distribution channels as shown in the figure. Because at the initial stages of product life cycles if the product is difficult to available to its customers they switch off to the substitutes. References:
