Chiller injection: Demand of the freezers generated by the sales officers is submitted to the dept after verification of all the documents and the shop the manager of the dept signs the documents of the issuance form the GM and issues the freezer or vise-cooler to the shop which demands this.

Schedule census: After issuance the dept through the help of the workers of the “Research and Information” dept verify that the freezers or vise-coolers are on the same shop where they were placed and also ensure that they are working properly or not if not then they recommend the shop keeper to repair it and bring in the knowledge of the manager.

Back check:Basically back check is for the checking of chillers and vise –coolers, either they are in the shop or not so for that a TOT department executive suddenly go to the shop without informing concern SO in order to check the integrity.

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

Transfer and promotions Benefits for encouraging Retirement plan Tracking The basic duty of HR department is to understand the vision and mission statements of organization and recruit and hire the best available employees according to the nature of job.Here in Pepsi the criterion for the selection of employees is not very formal. If more than five seats are available then the company publishes an ad in newspaper. After getting the CVs they shortlist the candidates and then call them for interviews. The basic requirement for Sales Officer in Pepsi is “MBA (Marketing)”.After calling the candidates an initial test is conducted which contains analytical, intelligence, general knowledge and mathematical portion? When a candidate passes the test he is interview by a whole panel including Sales Capability Manager and General Manager.

SUGGESTIONSThe HR manager takes tests of the existing employees for assessing them and ensures the good salary package for employees. They have to implement a separate HRIS software for the human resource workforce decision making and to decrease the communication gap between the other departments. Career development plan is very much necessary so they have to work on them

MIS DEPARTMENT:

Management information system department record all the data regarding the sales and other information which deals with the finance and to give the data to the appropriate person who use the data and make the financial reports. Basically MIS department is the backbone of whole organization because it deals with both primary and secondary sales

WORKFLOW:

Sales target Primary level sales target are set by the MIS manager, the criteria and their formulation is based on the previous three year sales trend and in the previous three year sales the maximum number of percentage is chosen and multiply that percentage with the following sales (previous year sales) and divide that with total distributors E.g. in the previous three year 17 % is the maximum number of sales and previous year sales is 40 million crates and distributors are 172 in number

Page 29

Page 30: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

Potential parameter gauge ( market share ):Target also set on the basis of parameter of market share for example if 5 percent shops in an area of ABC distributor have poor performance in the sales then weightage should be given in the target to increase the performance of these outlets

Availability:If availability of the stock increases in the market then market share increases so it is also the part of the sales target

Seasonality factor:Seasonality factor is a factor that shows high sort of sales in a season, season start form the April and ends at the end of the august and May is a peak month of all beverages like according to the perspective (Shamim and company sales at 31st of May are 874000 crates)

Reports:For every monitoring purposes daily reporting is very much necessary so different kinds of reports are prepared daily in a MIS department and Manager MIS analyze them and further these reports with respect to the sales are sent to the territory incharge and at the end to the distributors .So MIS is a kind of information cell where every kind of reporting is made

Annual operational plan:Annual operational plan is prepared with the help of these reports and its mainly done by the MIS manager ( Rizwan Zafar ) basically these types of plans are made to achieve the targets i.e how much resources , vehicles , glass workforce need etc are forecasted and these plans are made in September , after this everything happen according to the plans .

Distributor account section:This department is responsible for generating book keeping entries of distributor sales and daily these entries are updated. Distributor wise data is screen through the bands (red Green and yellow) those distributors who fall in a red band can show worse sales.

Horizontal Analysis:

The horizontal analysis of The Pepsi Cola Company is given below.

Accounts 2010 2011 Status

(Increase/decrease)

Cash and cash equivalents 100% 103.27% increase

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

Accrued income taxes 100% 52.85% Decrease

Long term debt 100% 95.63% Decrease

Current assets 100% 220 Increase

Interpretation:

This horizontal analysis which is based upon only on two years, shows that the company’s cash and other equivalents have been increase in year 2011 by 3.27%, as compare to year 2010. Further, loans and notes payables of the company have also been decreased by 38.96% in year 2011. This is a good indication for the creditors of the company that the company is paying its debts at faster rate. It makes the company’s good credit ranking. As the sale of company has increased in year 2011 but its income tax has come down by 47.15%, it shows that the expenses of company have increased a lot in this year because taxation expenses increases by double figure as compare to 2009-2010 figure 38.96 % The company must take actions to cut down its cost and reduce all the extra expenditures, so that it may enhance its net income.

Vertical Analysis year 2011:

Cash and Cash Equivalent = (Cash & Cash Equivalent/Total Current Asset)

= 197103073/1652345965

= 112%

Loans & Note payable = (Loans & Note Payable / Total Current Liabilities)

= 688.7/1811.2

= 38.02%

Accrued Income Taxes = (Accrued Income Taxes / Total Current Liabilities)

= 18.06/1811.2

= 0.997%

Long Term Debt = (long term debt / total equity)

= 688.7/698.8

Page 38

Page 39: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

= 98.55%

Interpretation: The main advantages of vertical analysis are that the balance sheets of businesses of all sizes can easily be compared. It also makes it easy to see relative annual changes within one business.

The vertical analysis shows that the amount of cash out of total current assets is increased. This shows the focus of management on cash rather than other marketable securities. Because cash is the most liquid asset of company. Company has reduced its long term liabilities and is relying on short term debts. This is an aggressive approach used by company. Income taxes are a very small part of total tax which indicates that the company has more operating and other expenses due to which its net income reduces. As the company is using an aggressive approach it is using more debt than equity financing. This is clearly shown in above calculation.

Overall the performance of Shamim & Co. is satisfactory. It has retained its market share in between 70% to 75% overall but in Multan they are successfully capture 80 percent market share The managers are risk takers and they prefer more debt financing rather than equity financing. The other reason is that Shamim & Co. is a private limited company, so it does not offer its shares to market. So a big source of its financing is debt financing from banks and other institutions.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PEPSI AND COCA COLA The main difference is that Pepsi focuses on the market share while the coke

focuses on the selling volume.

Pepsi make their ads to hit the youngsters while coke makes their ads without

considering the particular segment.

Shamim & Co. works as a franchise of the Pepsi cola international while Coke

is working as a multinational.

Pepsi uses blue color as a dominant in its advertisement and logos while Coke

uses red color as a dominant color in its advertising and logos.

Page 39

Page 40: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

Comparatively Pepsi is short of a well

structure centralized system while coke

has well organized system due

multinational.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF SHAMIM & COSTRENGTHS Established a good reputation and name Dew and 7up is the mostly used by all customers Dew give the boost up to the PCI Distribution channel is vast Easy availability of the products Proactive in the marketing strategies Networking and public relation is very strong

WEAKNESS Pepsi is the weak brand due to its quality, water and syrup compensation, people

said its taste is sweeter than Coca cola Employees have less salaries No proper feed back system for employees Lower level managers are not the part of the committee which take the final decision

THREATS Due to the standard of the water of the Pepsi its market share declines in the

market and it suffer a great loss Supply of fake products Increasing cost of the raw material and the travel expense Competitors Like coke are trying to get the market share by lowering their prices .

OPPORTUNITY There is a big scope of Pepsi in the market to improve the standard of water and

syrup of Pepsi so it can gain the market share like other brands of Pepsi To have contract with bigger restaurants, shopping malls etc Introduction of the new brands Skilled persons are available at low cost

Page 40

Page 41: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

PEST ANALYSIS OF SHAMIM & COPOLITICAL ANALYSIS There is no stable Govt so the company not flourishing Normally every Govt increases the sales tax rates The rates of the main variable electricity is very high due to non stabilization of

the Govt Products ae subject to various national laws Due to non consistent political environment there are no consistent policies.

ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS Due to unemployment cheap and skilled labor is easily available In rural areas people have no differentiation due to high literacy rate New opportunities Pepsi and Coke have decision regarding to have the same pricing policy if the economic situation becomes good then the per capita income increases and

sultimately the consumption of Pepsi increases The people have strong spending nature so the Pepsi gets the large market share.

SOCIAL ANALYSIS The company have a good plan for the management of the solid waste Have a positive impact on the youngsters Due to the growing trend of the fast food restaurants its joint demand increases Due to religious country its reputation effect when the America attacks on Iraq

and Afghanistan Sponsored many events especially the cricket matches

TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Cost saving due to technology improvement Company introduces the plastic bottles and the tins which are not used in the past Logo is attractive and in new style

The company installed new production plants which is totally computerized

All the work I snow shifted to the computer rather than hand works.

Competitor’s Analysis:

Page 41

Page 42: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

The biggest competitor of Pepsi Cola is Coca Cola. In Pakistan Pespi Cola has the largest share of about 75% to 80% but the remaining 20% to 25% is of Coca Cola and 2 to 3 percent share is also having by Gourmet Cola and Amrat Cola.

In Pakistan Pepsi is dealing in form of franchises. There are about 8 franchises of Pepsi in Pakistan. The biggest one is Shamim & Co. In franchise system the owner of plant has license to produce the product and market it independently.

While Coca Cola is not being dealt in form of franchise rather the “Coco Cola International” has all its rights of ownership and operations in its own hand. In this system the plant and all other offices are directly coordinated and controlled by head office and central management.

Coca cola believes in high quality that is why its policy does not allow them to handover the plant to any franchiser or license holder.

Coca cola is producing all the counter brands against the Pepsi. For example

Coke Vs Pepsi Sprite Vs 7 Up 3G Vs Mountain Dew Fanta Vs Mirinda

This shows that Pepsi is facing a fierce competition from Coke. So Pepsi is focusing to retain its market share and remain the market leader by providing a high value to shopkeepers and consumers. Further Pepsi is giving trade discounts to shopkeepers which is an attractive offer for shopkeepers. Further Differentiation and Similarities of Pepsi and Coke are as follows:

Pepsi is focusing youngsters in its advertisement and trying to give the feelings of freshness to young market segment.

While

Page 42

Page 43: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

Coca cola is designing its advertisements to target the customers without age differentiations.

Pepsi is differentiating itself from coke in terms of its blue cans and is always advertised in blue color.

While

Coke is made available in red cans and red color is advertisement strength of coke.

The tastes of both the drinks are distinct and it is easy to note the difference. Pepsi is a little sweet in taste than the coke. This is due to the addition of the artificial sweeteners to it.

While

Compared to Pepsi, coke does not have that chemical after taste owing to the less artificial sweeteners added. When you drink coke you feel more of that cola flavor in it, while with Pepsi, you get a fruity or fluid sort of taste.

Availability and meeting the demand is one key factor that contributes to Pepsi-cola’s success in Pakistan. Reaching the retailers sooner than coca-cola can and finalizing deals in no time; Pepsi enjoys its lead-time benefit over coke.

While

However Coca-Cola is not meeting the demand efficiently specially looking at multan plant we can see that the capacity is very small and demand is not fulfilled by company.

Suggestions:

As far as my observation is concerned Pepsi should take the following steps:

Proper employee meeting at every month They should take feedback from lower level employees like CRs and Salesmen They must keep a fair wage rate among all the employees. They must announce an allowance for CRs and Sales Officer

Recommendations:

Page 43

Page 44: Intern

Shamim & Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.

I recommend that the company should give the appropriate wages to the employs and ensure that the working environment is friendly so that they work statistically. The company should ensure the supply in the main areas and in the areas far away from the main areas. The director should give the little authority to the lower employees to make decisions so that the employee’s loyalty increases. They should check the distributors and ensure that they are working according to the policies of the company. While the company is also short of well-planned system that should ensure the benefit in the near future that should also ensure and shortened the communication gap between the departments.

Comments:

Overall the environment of the organization is very professional and strict. The managers are well experienced and shrewd. Every employee know well the culture of company and market Good interrelations of employees with each other.
