CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY
Today Bikaner is identified for tasty! mouth watering snacks Bhu$ia!
papads! 5amkeens! which have titillated the plates of many a number of royal
)a$put families through the age.
The bhu$ia industry has origination dated back to %&&'A(! when mahara$a
shri dungar singh$i was manufactured as a special variety and was called
6(75A) .-A-0 B-7809 This was served to the royal guests with time!
manufacturing bhu$ia became livelihood of many inhabitants of the district. .ince
the district was drought prone district with only salty well water available for
drinking! there was little scope in farming and agriculture. And thus Bhu$ia
production gained momentum and a bid Bhu$ia prepared in this area has special
ingredient of moth :/entil; grown in this area and the different special taste can
be attributed to salty well water available only in )a$asthan.
At present there are about *+, units producing Bhu$ia in Bikaner district
and nearby areas of shri (ungargarh! 3huru! 5agpur! and .ri <angangar. Out of
these only a few have proper plant and well planned production system! the rest
are small and cottage type industries.
The raw materials re#uired for industry are lentils! edible oil and
condiments. =hile lentil is grown in western )a$sathan i.e. in districts of barmer!
$aisalmer! Bikaner! churu! ngaur and 8odhpur. The edible oil :groundnut; is
procured from Bikaner or from neighbouring state of <u$rat. The condiments are

purchased from south 0ndia! directly or through dealers in (elhi. The raw material
is thus abundant and easily available to industry.
The ma$or Bhu$ia consuming mkt. 0n )a$sthan followed by >un$ab and
-aryana. 7ttar pradesh! =est Bengal and assam to are not far behind!
)a$asthan consumes about 14? of the total produce annually and rest of the
'4? is consumed by other states and with time the awareness and interest in
Bikaneri Bhu$ia has grown and spread all over the country and around the world
too.
)ecently export of Bhu$ia and namkeen from Bikaner has also gained
momentum. The export of Bhu$ia has potential to grow much more! it only
re#uires awareness on the part of manufacturer about the export prospects of the
item! export producers! documentation and packaging.
The whole Bhu$ia industry is divided into two sectors.
:a; 7norganised :b; Organised
The unorgani"ed sector consists of over '4? of the total Bhu$ia industry.
These units are. @lourishing in the district because of high demand of the product
and easy availability of raw material and also low setting up costs. The
unorgani"ed sector also includes small business and small-owners selling the
snacks and sweets. Almost every second household in the city has women and
girls making papads. The ma$or portion of this sector is inside the 6walled city9 of
Bikaner and <angasaher area. An estimated number of &,4 burners are used in
this unorgani"ed sector and around &4 to %44 kgs. Of Bhu$ia per day which
amounts to an annual production of +,!444 to 14!444 tons. This sector though

unorgani"ed and traditional! still poses a threat to the modern organi"ed sector!
as a larges segment of Bikaner9s population is still price conscious and the price
of the product unbranded Bhu$ia of 6Ahulli Bhu$ia9 in local $argon is around 14?
less than the branded and packaged Bhu$ia.The organi"ed sector is the rest 14?
of the Bhu$ia industry. The ma$or players are Bika$i! Bhikharam chandmal!
-aldiram! 3houdhary @ood products swad industries >vt. 6Bes9 and Mr. 5amkeen
and many more. 6Bika$i9 in Bikaner is ma$or company in the branded Bhu$ia
market. Another emerging name in this sector is of Bhikaram. 3handmal9s
sunsine food products. Bhikharam chandmal has opted up a big showroom in
Bikaner and has started distributing the products in some other states too. The
companies of this sector have to face a tough competition given by multinational
like lehar 5amkeens and from 7ncle 3hips. The companies of Bikaner Bhu$ia
0ndustry mainly use print media for advertising only Bika$i has used the
broadcasting media for advertising.
These companies themselves face enough competition from each other
and soon will have to start employing other marketing strategies if they want to
survive in this competitive market of Bhu$ia.The present distribution channel of
the product is mainly direct selling and employing sales force like sales
representative and sales officers who extensively travel to book order for this
respective companies besides this 1 units have appointed dealers throughout the
country to market their products.
The unit adopting direct selling can think of marketing the item through
dealership! which will help in enhancing the sales.This industry is reported to be

facing a lot of problems in regard to finance! electricity! taxation structure and
entry of multi-nationals in the field.

PRODUCTION :--

>roduction and operation management are concerned itself with the conversion
of input outputs using physical resources so as to provide the desired utility
utilities of farm! place possession or state or a combination there of to the
customer while meeting the other organi"ational ob$ectives of effectiveness
efficiently and adaptability.
Se'e!i"n Cri!eri"n 6"r ."a!i"n:--
.ince Bhu$ia industry and Bikaner are considered to be complementary to each
other there fore choice for location of this high tech. >lant in Bikaner is obvious.
Many companies have tried to open this Bhu$ia industry in other parts of 0ndia but
are not successful reason may be due to climatic condition. The factors! =hich
influenced the dsion to open it in Biknaer! areH-
1-A%ai'a7i'i!/ "6 ra& ,a!eria':--
.ince the basic raw material re#uited in this Bhu$ia is IlentilJ =hich is abundantly
available in Bikaner rather it is one of the strength that this IlentilJ is grown in and
around Bikaner and due to abundant supply it is cheaply available and priced at
around %144-%,44 )s. >er #uintal.
2- A%ai'a7i'i!/ "6 'and:--
.ince Bikaner is industrially a poor city land is no problem to start an enterprise
here.


3-A%ai'a7i'i!/ "6 &"r1er+:--
.ince %44 years this industry has grown to many folds and the no of
persons employed are growing day by day and thus skilled labour for Bhu$ia
production are easily available here and this company also inducts people from
west Bengal and bihar which are cheaply available in every part of county so it is
also an advantage for this industry in Bikaner.
4- A%ai'a7i'i!/ "6 &a!er:--
0t is a miracle done in desert by presence of 0ndira <handhi nehar pariyo$na. 5ow
due to the availability of water it has given opportunities for many entrepreneurs
to convert their dreams into reality at this place.
8-C'i,a!i "ndi!i"n:--
This is considered to be a ma$or factor. Many people have tried to make Bhu$ia in
other part of 0ndia but were literally failed against this taste of Bikaner Bhu$ia! so
this is also one of the ma$or reasons to establish it in Bikaner.
Ca*ai!/ ,anage,en!:
3apacity management is very important for achieving the organi"ational
ob$ectives of efficiency! customer service and overall effectiveness.
0n shivdeep maximum capacity is +4 tones per day and utili"ation is also
%44? because they are working in full demand condition.

5"r1ing +$i6!+:
They are working on the basis of single shift but can ad$ust on double shift if
needed for skilled labour thee shift starts at *.44 am to %+.44 noon and thereafter
Bhu$ia is treated and packed for general staff shift start form C.44am from 2.44
p.m.

Ra& Ma!eria':
The raw material re#uired for th industry are lentil! edible oil and condiments!
while lentil is grown in western )a$asthan in the districts of barmer! $aisalmer!
Bkianer! 3huru! 5agpur! 8odhpur! where no irrigation facility is available. Ddible
oil specially groundnut oil is available locally as well as procured from the
neighboring stat of gu$rat. 3ondiment : spices; are procured from south 0ndia
directly or through dealer located in (elhi. Therefore is reported by industry that
there is not scarcity of r#w material re#uired for manufacture of Bhu$ia. 0t is also
pbserved during the study that the farmers in the drought prone are do not find
difficulty in marketing their product as it is purchased by the manufactures of
Bikaner Bhu$ia.
OT&/R CO1SU"/RAB(/ STOR/S#
The company consumes other consumable items like polythene bags procured
from flex industries 5oida and corrugated boxes for packaging from <aurav
packaging! Bikaner for domestic as well as external market.

@irst of all lentil is grinded and besan is taken out from grinder and this besan is
kept in dry form in the container near worker and spices are mixed in it. As and
when worker re#uire the material for Bhui$ia they take besan and kept at the
same place and use it for Bhu$ia.
This production is manual and therofor Bhu$ia exploits extensive llabour as such
because of the typical that facor. Though a machine has also been ried to
produce Bhu$ia but was re$ected because it wat unable to deliver the same taste
after Bhu$ia is manufactured! it is carried to the packaging section.
<roundnut oil is used for frying Bhu$ia! which is exclusively procured from IAnand
dairyJ because they produce it with consistent and good #uality. This oil is tiltered
twice so as to ensute the best #uality of oil available for trying Bhu$ia.
The oil is stored in tank and supplied to the shop through pipes and tap is
provided in shop centrally located and as retuned workers take it with the help of
oil containers.
Material handling is not a much complicated process here but it has its role here!
as it carries Bhu$ia from furnace to the mixture where Bhu$ia is mixed with
IdankoliJ which is larger in si"e then Bhu$ia and is produced in a semi automatic

machine in a separate room. The advantage of this IdankoliJ that it soaks the
extra oil from Bhu$ia and also acts as a preservator for keeping Bhu$ia in that
pack upto 2 months even.
A total of ,2 furnaces are provided there in two section! +* in one section and 1+
in other. Only one skilled worker is re#uired on one furnace.One of the typical
re#uiement in this plant is that due to inventory policy of finished Bhu$ia! to Aeep
small! it emphasi"es on productions and packaging on same day that9s why
Bhu$ia is produced from *.44 am to %+.44 noon and thereafter treatment of Bhu$ia
is done which ensure about the moisture removal from Bhu$ia in packaging and
then it is packed.
PAC:AGING SECTION:--
The uni#ueness of this plant was its high technology packaging section. @irst of
all this section! Bhu$ia from its production place is stacked and treated for sucking
its hot gased and thus after two hours of treatmen Bhu$ia cools down and
assures! that no moisture is left there in Bhu$ia which is very essential from the
view point preserving it for long time.
Machines are fully automatic and procured from digipack -yderabad and flex
industries! 5oda which is ad$ustable according to weight re#uired for pack. After
receiving packs of different types it is packed again in cartons depending upon
the lot and all these cartons are then stacked and handed over to sates
department for their dispatch.
The pouch and foils are procured from flex industry 5oida and cartons are
procured from <aurav packaging which is also supplying corrugated
sheets.Dlectronic weighing maching is also employed there on which workers are
regularly weighing the pack and all those packs ate re$ected which weight are
less than desire and Bhu$ia is again utili"ed.A great care is then during the

packing as nitrogen gas is a used for making those foils sterile as it is essential to
avoid food poisoning.To maintain the #uality standard which is one of the
ob$ectives of this organi"ation and since climatic conditions installed a gtass
cabin around this highly sensitive packaging machine.
MAINTENANCE
.ince the company is engaged in continuous production activities so
failure of machine9s or breakdown is bound to occur. Though the high tech
machine for packing do not pose problem of maintenance as such! but certain
other machines such a pumps! motors! boilers etc. have breakdown due to
bearing failures! belt snapping! transformer also re#uire regular overhauling.
3ompany is following the policy of maintenance after breakdown.
.AYOUT

>lant layout is the relative allocation of ade#uate spaces at the appropriate
places for work e#uipment for working men! material! and other supporting
activities. The basic theme behind the arrangement of work areas is to produce
the product economically and to provide a safe and good working environment
for worker. .hivdeep industries ltd! plant layout is instrumental in
accomplishment of following ob$ective. 0ndustry has proper and efficient
utili"ation of moor space! economies in materials facilitate manufacturing process
and handling of semi finished and finished products.
0ndustry layout has careful planning to avoid fre#uent changes in layout!
which may result in under increase in cost of production and provide ade#uate
safely to workers from accidents.

INTRODUCTION TO MAR:ETIING MIX
The marketing mix is a strategic combination of four elements vi""! the
organi"ations products! prices! distribution! and promotion. All of these variables
are closely interrelated! and appropriate marketing mix that will achieve a firm9s
marketing goals in the target market! is vital for the success of the firm.

A- Pr"d)!
The first element of the marketing mix is the product. >roduct is also one
of the essential component of marketing mix in respect to which managers are
re#uired to take crucial decisions in a company. 0t can be defined as a bundle of
utilities consisting of various products features and accompanying services. The
bundle of utilities is composed of those physical and psychological attributes that
the buyer receives when he buys the product. 0t means that a product is not only
a tangible entity but intangible services and psychological attributes such as
images! the brand name! etc.! are also and integral part of the product.
A product thus can be understood as anything that can be offered to
market for attention! ac#uisition! use or consumption that might sausly a want or
need. >roducts that are marketed include physical goods :ex. Automobiles!

furniture;! services : ex. -otels! beauty parlours;! persons :ex. @ilmstars and
sportspersons;! places :ex. (ubai! .ingapore.; organi"ation : 0ndian institute of
management!! Ahmedabad or various open universities! etc.; and ideas :ex. .afe
driving keep your city clean! etc.;
.ome analogous K..
>roduct- mix also referred as product portfolio! it is the composite of
products offered for sale by a firm or a business unit.
>roduct line it is a group of closely related products! which are able to
satisfy a class of need! to be used together or to be sold to same consumer
groups! or to be moved through the same distribution channels.
>roduct item product item is a specific version of a product that has a
separate name of designation in the seller9s list.
These can understood in a better way by #uoting an example of Bika$i
group of companies. Mineral water! ethnic snacks :Bika$i namkeens; ! sweets
and potato chips are the company9s product-mix its sweets are a product line and
<O/MATO/ )asgulla is product item.
The company has a product lines of Bhu$ia! papad Bhu$ia namkeens and
potato chips and sweets.
Bhu$ia is sold under the brand name Bika$i which evokes the mage of the
grandiose and splendor of the land for golden desert! )a$asthan The image of
the brand in market is very good and it ensures best of #uality and taste.

<- Prie:
>rice is the amount of money andGor other items with unhly needed to
ac#uire a productF where utility is an attribute that has the potential to sassy.
Thus price may involve more than money while price is the value ratio of
perceived benefits to price or incurred costs; of product attributes impressed in
monetary term pricing is the function of determining product value in monetary
terms by the marketing management of the company before to the target
consumers for sale.
>rice is the only element of marketing mix that produces revenue! all other
produce cost. >rice is conceptually determined in all competitive situation by two
sets of forces! namely! cost and demand! cost is internal to company and largely
controllable whereas demand is external to the company! and although not
controllable! is sub$ect to the influence of various marketing actions. 0n setting the
price of a product! the company should follow a six-step procedureH-
o @irstly! company should establish its marketing ob$ectives.
o .econd! it should determine the demand schedule! which shows probable
#uantities! purchased per period at different price levels.
o Third! company should look towards their own costs! expenditure.

o @ourth! it should select its pricing strategy! i.e. market up target return!
perceived value etc.
o .ixth! it should set its product9s price.
The final price should conform to the company9s pricing policies and it should
be in consideration to the dealers9s acceptance and it should be the best-suited
price in the environment.
0nspire of the increased role of non-price factors in the modern marketing
process! price remains a critical element and is especially challenging in market9s
characteri"ed by mono or oligopoly structure. The company has not adopted any
special pricing as such. According to the assistant marketing manager! the price
of the product is not envisaged as in the theory of pricing but is administered by
the company9s management. The price can hence be defined as the price
resulting from managerial decisions and maintained as the posted price at which
the company sells the product. The product prices of shivdeep industries pvt. /td.
Are fixed for a period of time and do not change fre#uently and are not sub$ect to
negotiation. The pricing for the company is cost plus i.e. the prices are set ny
adding a margin to the cost.
The company provides prices on point of origin price policy i.e. it considers
the transportation cost as an important pricing factor on account of wide
geographical distances between producing and consuming centers. The
company #uotes ex-factory price and makes no allowance for transportation cost
involved in moving the products from rectory to point to consumption : if with in
the city of Bikaner;. But for outstation deliveries! company #uotes prices-@.O.).
Bikaner! i.e. price inclusive of cartageGmovement cost involved in moving the
products from factory to the railway stationGtransport agency.
The insurance! all duties and taxes :as applicable at the time of dispatch;
are charged extra. @or placing the orders with the company the distributors have
to till a proper structured 6order from9 and have to place a large amount of
security :about )s. %4!444G-; and advance payment with the company. Only
demand drafts are entertained by the company.

C- Di+!ri7)!i"n
(istribution or marketing channel includes various activities the company
undertakes to make the product accessible and available to target customer. 0t
may also be defined as Ia pathway composed of intermediaries! also called
middleman! who perform such function as needed to ensure smooth and
se#uential flow of goods and services from manufacturing ends to the consuming
ends in order to achieve marketing ob$ective of a company.
There are basically two types of distribution channels inteur--- and
nonintegrated.
5on-integrated channels are also referred to as indiviauausuc or convent
market cannels. 0n such a market channel the trim and intermediaries come
together for a short run and otherwise work autonomously. These are again or
two typesH-
(irect E Manufacturer consumers
0ndirect - Manufacturer Middieman 3onsumers
0ntegrated channels on the other hand are the ones in which channel
components participate in co-ordinated manner. These may be hori"ontal or
vertical. Mertical distribution channels are protessionally managed and centrally
programmed networks! pre engineered to achieve operation economies. These
may be administered contractual or corporate. -ori"ontal channel may be

detined as as alignment of two or more companies to $ointly exploit a marketing
opportunity either by themselves or by creating a third entity.
The company has a strong distribution channel it ensured taster
movement or flow of products to the consuming center and ensures easily
accessibility of the products to the consumer. The company has innerited the
distrbution channels from its sister concern haldiram! so it KK.wide spread and
the relation with the distributors are #uite good. The coverage is more in
northern 0ndia states of >un$ab! -aryana! (ehli! 7ttar pradesh! Bihar! =est
Bengal! and Assam and a rew more!
The company has different channel levels for its distribution presently
there are three levers.
@irst level dcontains only on intermediary :i.e. the retailer.; the company is
working with this level for the local market where it has to compete with other
local brands and unbranded Bhu$ia and 5amkeens.
.econd level is composed of two intermediaries such as wholesaie
retailer. The company is working with this channel for domestic market. The
wholesalers which are appointed by the company are given the authority to sell
the products to retailers and directly to consumers also.
Third level channel contains three intermediaries such as stockist semi
wholesalers. )etailers. The company is working with this channel level for us
exports.

working for it! these agents contact the sub dealers and dealers for the company.
Thus the company has parallel distribution system! that is dealers and agents!
both working for it. The company does not have its own transportation system.
Transportation takes through local transport companies to the distributors located
in different parts of 0ndia. The company is using billing system for dealers. The
company is importing the products through sea route from the mambai port.

CHAPTER 8 S5OT ANA.YSIS
STRENGTH:
:a; .trong positioning of brand name H The brnad Bika$i is considered as the
best from Bikaner because company got the momentum of an early start
0t is pioneer in the Bikaner Bhu$ia industry.
:b; Ouality of product H The #uality of product is uni#ue it is strength of
company.
:c; >ackagingH >ackaging offered by the company is appreciated by market
and great care is taken during the packing as nitrogen gas is used for
making those foils sterile! as it is essential to avoid food poisoning.
:d; =ide range variety of productsH There are around 1, varieties of Bhu$ia
5amkeens more the , different flavors of papad potato chips offered
by the company.
:e; .trong distribution networkH The strong distribution network good terms
with the distributors is a good asset to company.
5EA:NESS:
The weakness of the company lies in the fact that the management of the
company is running in an old fashioned and traditional way. The company does
not have a good $ob profile for the employees it does not have a proper public
relations department or even a sales force. There is only one outlet in which
direct selling is there. The market coverage of the company does not include
down south states of 0ndia. 0n past it did not opt for a proper market research to
find out customer9s preferences and interests.

OPPORTUTTY:
There are enormous opportunities with the company to diversity and
expand or moderni"e. The company can opt for a proper sates department! and
a sales force to enhance its sales and expand the market coverage. Market
abroad have not been fully exploited so it can go for more exports. A market
research department would help company to go for better and new varieties of
product items. A proper $ob profile for the company would increase the
productivity of the company. The company can open more of its outlets and go
for direct selling. 0t has thus got the potential to grow more and become a bigger
and better organi"ation.
THREAT:
There are a lot of threats for the company! not only the bigger players like
lehar! yes and Mr. 5amkeen pose a threat but also snack shops of Bikaner are
among the competitors of the company. The substitutes of Bhu$ia like samosa!
papad! Biskut etc. are also a threat to the company. The multinationals and
larger companies have huge capital base and have worldwide recognition! their
management and way of working is modern and efficient. They have huge
budgets for advertising and sales promotion.
The Bikaner city is traditionally known as of Bhu$ia! it is because of fact
that Bhu$ia9s origin from this plach. The tasty )a$asthani food can never be
completed without Bhu$ia! which is actually a namkeen prepared with the
strength of arm.
