Company Profile

New Product Development

Company Profile
HISTORY:
In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist, developed a food for babies who
were unable to breastfeed. His first success was a premature infant who
could not tolerate his mother's milk or any of the usual substitutes. People
quickly recognized the value of the new product, after Nestlé's new formula
saved the child's life, and soon, Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé was being sold in
much of Europe.

In 1905 Nestlé merged with the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. By


the early 1900s; the company was operating factories in the United States,
Britain, Germany and Spain. World War I created new demand for dairy
products in the form of government contracts. By the end of the war, Nestlé's
production had more than doubled.

After the war Government contracts dried up and consumers switched back
to fresh milk. However, Nestlé's management responded quickly,
streamlining operations and reducing debt. The 1920s saw Nestlé's first
expansion into new products, with chocolate the Company's second most
important activity.

The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé.
Growth accelerated and companies were acquired. In 1947 came the merger
with Maggi seasonings and soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1960, as

University of Education Okara Campus

did Findus (1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's (1973).


Diversification came with a shareholding in L’Oreal in 1974.

The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé: trade
barriers crumbled and world markets developed into more or less
integrated trading areas. Since 1996 this/here have been acquisitions
including San Pellegrino (1997), Spillers Pet foods (1998) and Ralston
Purina (2002). This/here were two major acquisitions in North America,
both in 2002.

In July, Nestlé merged its U.S. ice cream business into Dreyer's, and in
August, a USD 2.6bn acquisition was announced of Chef America, Inc.
Nestle is one of the world’s largest food company which is represented on all
the five continents. It runs some 500 factories in 75 countries employing
over 220,000 workers globally.

History Nestle Pakistan Ltd.

Nestle Pakistan Limited (Nestle Pakistan) is a subsidiary of Nestle S.A.


based in Switzerland. Nestle Pakistan is principally engaged in the
manufacture, processing and sale of food and beverage products which
include milk, yogurt, ghee, cream, coffee, juices, Instant drinks and bottled
water.

The company also manufactures infant cereals, breakfast cereals, prepared


meals, chocolates, confectionery and culinary products. The company
markets its products under international brand names that include Nescafe,
Maggi, Cerelac, Milky bar, Kit Kat, Bar-One, Milkmaid, and Pure Life.
The company with three manufacturing facilities operates all over Pakistan.

As a consequence of joint venture arrangement between Nestle S.A. of


Switzerland and Milkpak Ltd. in 1988, the existing production facility of
Milkpak in Sheikhupura became a part of Nestle Milkpak.

The Milkpak Sheikhupura factory commenced operations in 1981 as a


producer of UHT milk. By 1988, it had expanded its operation and was also
producing butter, cream, desighee - all under the brand name of MILKPAK
and juice drinks under the brand name FROST.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

To meet the demands of the large food market that Pakistan offered, Nestle
Milkpak reorganized and reinforced the production of existing brands and
gave shape to new production lines. The first to come was a milk powder
plant, which not only began producing NIDO in 1990 but was also critical to
the production of several milk-based products in the future.

To meet the needs of safe and quality storage for the ever expanding product
range and their volumes, a National Distribution Center (NDC) was
completed and became functional in June, 2000.Spread over 6614 square
meters; it has the capacity to store up to 8300 pallets (approximately 8000
tons).

Nestlé’s success to make inroads in Pakistan is reflected in its strong


financial performance. For the six months ended December 31, 1998 sales
stood at Rs 2.5 billion and operating profit at Rs 338 million. Nestle earned a
post-tax profit of Rs 195 million.

people live a better life. Good Food is the primary source of Good Health
throughout life. We strive to bring consumers foods that are safe, of high
quality and provide optimal nutrition to meet physiological needs.

Research is a key part of our heritage at Nestlé and an essential element our
future. We know there is still much to discover about health, wellness and
the role of food in our lives, and we continue to search for answers to bring
consumers.

Good Food for Good Life.

Nestlé’s mission is to provide the best food to people throughout the


world.

University of Education Okara Campus

OBJECTIVES

At the threshold of this new millennium, Nestlé’s objective Is to


consolidate and strengthen its leading position at the cutting edge of
innovation in the food area in order to meet the needs and desires of
customers around the world, for pleasure, convenience, health and well
being.

BUSINESS PRINCIPLES

Since Henri Nestlé developed the first milk food for infants in 1867, and
saved the life of a neighbor’s child, the Nestlé Company has aimed to build
a business based on sound human values and principles.

While our Nestlé Corporate Business Principles will continue to evolve and
adapt to a changing world, our basic foundation is unchanged from the time

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

of the origins of the Company, and reflects the basic ideas of fairness,
honesty, and a general concern for people.

 People first

Employees, people and products are more important at Nestlé than systems.
Systems and methods, while necessary and valuable in running a complex
organization, should remain managerial and operational aids but should not
become ends in themselves. It is a question of priorities. A strong orientation
toward human beings, employees and executives is a decisive, if not the
decisive, component of long-term success.

 Quality products

Our focus is on products. The ultimate justification for a company is its


ability to offer products that are appealing because of their quality,
convenience, variety and price -- products that can stand their ground even
in the face of fierce competition.

 Long-term view

Nestlé makes clear a distinction between strategy and tactics. It gives


priority to the long-range view. Long-term thinking defuses many of the
conflicts and contentions among groups -- this applies to employment
conditions and relations with employees as well as to the conflicts and
opposing interests of the trade and the industry.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Of course, our ability to focus on long-term considerations is only possible


if the company is successful in the struggle for short-term survival. This is
why Nestlé strives to maintain a satisfactory level of profits every year.

 Decentralization

Switzerland is home to Nestlé's Swiss subsidiary, its international


headquarters and the registered office of Nestlé's holding company, but
Nestlé does not regard its Swiss headquarters as the center of the universe.
Decentralization is a basic principle of Nestlé.

Our policy is to adapt as much as possible to regional circumstances,


mentalities and situations. By decentralizing operational responsibility, we
create strength and flexibility and are able to make decisions that are better
attuned to specific situations in a given country. Policies and decisions
concerning personnel, marketing and products are largely determined
locally.

This policy creates stronger motivation for Nestlé's executives and


employees and a greater sense of identification with Nestlé's business. It is
not Nestlé's policy to generate most of its sales in Switzerland, supplemented
by a few satellite subsidiaries abroad. Nestlé strives to be an "insider" in
every country in which it operates, not an "outsider."

 Uniformity

A very important concern at Nestlé has to do with uniformity: how


consistent Nestlé's principles, policies, rules of conduct and strategies should
be, and to what extent they should differ depending on the country,

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

subsidiary, region, branch or group of products. In general, Nestlé tries to


limit the uniformity of its policy to a requisite minimum. This minimum is
then systematically enforced, unless this/here are compelling reasons in a
given market that justify deviation from policy.

 Diversification

Nestlé does not want to become either a conglomerate or a portfolio


manager. Nestlé wants to operate only those businesses about which it has
some special knowledge and expertise. Nestlé is a global company, not a
conglomerate hodgepodge. We regard acquisitions and efforts at
diversification as logical ways to supplement our business, but only in the
context of a carefully considered corporate marketing policy.

NESTLE CORE VALUES

“The Nestlé global vision is to be the leading health,


Wellness, and Nutrition Company in the world. Nestlé
Pakistan subscribes fully to this vision”.

Best Start to a Healthier Future!

The product is related with baby food category. Mothers can start giving it to their child
from age 6 months to 3 years. Nestle has its own “Development Nutrition Plan” which
consists of 3 stages.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Whether it’s your first-born or even your third bundle of joy – each
baby is unique and special. You want the best for your baby in every way and that also
means the best nutrition for your baby’s healthy development, giving him or her the solid
foundation for a bright and healthy future!

From birth to 3 years of age, your baby goes through a period of rapid growth and
development. Choosing the best nutrition for your baby can be difficult and confusing
and you always wonder if it’s just right.

Each stage of your baby’s growth is unique and so are the changing nutritional
requirements. CERELAC infant cereals (6 months onwards) are easy to digest and
grouped in stages according to the changing nutritional needs of the growing child, with
CERELAC providing the right nutrition at each stage.

CERELAC is available in three sizes: 350g & 175g box packaging and a 25g sachet
packaging for your convenience.

University of Education Okara Campus

STAGE 1: GENTLE FIRST FOOD

It’s time to introduce solid foods into his/her menu. Our single grain cereals are smooth
and light on your baby's stomach, helping his/her move from milk to solid food.

NESTLÉ® CERELAC® Stage 1 Infant Cereals are suitable for babies after 6 months.
They are made from natural single grains, are gentle on baby's digestive system and help
in transition from milk to solids.

Nestlé® CERELAC® Infant Cereals are made from natural grains, fruits and vegetables.
They use CHE (Cereals Hydrolyzed Enzymatically) to break down carbohydrates in the
cereals into smaller units, thus making them easier to digest.

CERELAC® Rice
CERELAC® Wheat

STAGE 2: NEW TASTES

It’s time to try some new tastes… like different kinds of puréed fruits, vegetables and
infant cereals. Your baby can now swallow something more solid. His/her digestive
system has developed, his/her stomach is growing larger and his/her system less fragile.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

After 6 months, your baby is beginning to push forward, hold toys firmly and look for
them when they’re misplaced.

STAGE 3: RICHEST TASTES & TEXTURES

Your baby can’t get enough variety of flavors? Then she is moving in the right direction –
both physically and nutritionally. Now that she can consume meat and fish, it’s time to
introduce his/her to a few new tastes and textures.
Infant Cereals are suitable for babies from 8 to 24 months. Richest tastes and textures
satisfy your baby’s urge to chew and teaches him to appreciate more complex tastes.

Nutrition, Health &
Wellness – New Product
Development at Nestlé

Introduction:

New Product Development is a business and engineering term which


describes a complete process to develop a product and bringing it to the
market.
Businesses operate in markets that are constantly changing. Consumer
Tastes and expectations are always on the move.
New Products are a vital part of a firm’s competitive growth strategy.
This Further study examines a market-focused innovation developed by
Nestlé. It explores the development of Cerelac Cereal for "Self Feed" babies.

New Product Development Process:

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Idea Generation:
As the baby becomes a toddler and is getting more adventurous with
his/her food. The baby has sufficient reflexes to be able to hold small pieces
of food or small objects without dropping them. They should also be able to
eat more and more by themselves, holding a small mug, bowl or spoon.
Chewing is now possible, if the pieces of food are sufficiently small and soft.
The new idea came in to mind is that to launch such a product which fulfills
the requirements of the child and is eligible for lower class and middle class.

The ideas of new product was obtained from employees, customers, R&D
department and marketing managers and then checked through market
survey.

Three (3) new product ideas were given:

1) Wheat, Honey & Flakes


2) Nes lac
3) Infant Cereal Multigrain & Mixed Fruits.

Idea Screening:

In this step we analyzed the effectiveness and efficiency of the ideas and
came to know that the idea (Wheat, honey and Flakes) is feasible to
manufacture and will be profitable. And the target market benefits from the
market. The main idea of screening is to eliminate unsound concepts. so We
made a survey for this purpose. From the survey research we got opinions
that most of the people choose our 1st product “Wheat, Honey and Flakes”.
Because of its benefits and cost effectiveness.

CERELAC® Baby Cereal Wheat Honey & Flakes

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Concept Development and Testing:

After selecting the idea of Wheat, Honey and Flakes we developed a


product which gives your baby the texture of tiny flakes and a new flavor
of added honey to explore. And we've added specially adapted milk to
meet your baby's nutritional and developmental needs. NESTLÉ® Stage
4 BABY CEREALS offer enhanced texture, with new ingredients like
honey and flakes. This experience is specially designed with bifidus BL
(B. LACTIS) - a probiotic that contributes to healthy digestive tract flora.

After that we Test the concept by asking a sample of prospective


customers what they think of the idea. This idea considered successful
and effective due to its ingredients.

Marketing Strategy Development:

Marketing strategy consists of 3 steps.


1. Target market and Positioning:
Target market is set out after making complete analysis. The market should contain
certain points like:
Nestlé Cerelac’s primary target market is infant of 0-5 age and the secondary
target market is the mothers and Doctors which consist of

 Large number of customers


 Demand for our product
 Availability of products

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

And in Positioning we determine our product’s position in the market. By this analysis
only first P (product) of the marketing mix is designed by keeping in mind the
requirement of infants on the other hand rest of the three P s (Price ,place and
promotion) and to some extent the PRODUCT too are designed by focusing on the
mothers preferences.
After this we came to know that where our product stands in market and how much it
earn goodwill.
We can make this analysis by checking our:
 Sales
 Number of Customers
 Market share
 Reputation

Product positioning is how a product is positioned in the mind of the customers.


Positioning begins with a difference in the Product that is worth establishing to the extent
that it is improved, distinctive, superior, communicable, pre-emptive, affordable and
profitable.

Differential Advantage:
Refers to any feature of a product or organization perceived by resources to
be desirable and different from the competitors. So this brand has its own
development plan for babies which vita has not yet. It thoroughly guides the
parents which things are important and at what stage? It has a lot of variety
in terms of tastes & texture and also assortments which vita missing.

2. Price, Distribution and market budget:


In Price, Nestlé Cerelac sets prices of their products according to the market
demand as low as possible because Nestlé is the trend setter in the market in
order to attract large amount of customers.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

In Distribution, one of the most critical success factors is the ability to


build, develop, and maintain a robust distribution network. Availability near
the customer is vital for wider penetration as most products are high value
products. It takes enormous time and effort to build a chain of stockiest,
retailers; dealers etc. and establish their loyalties. So Nestlé Cerelac has its
own warehouses for the storage of products as well as it has also
hired some warehouses.

3. Quality:

In third step Performance quality is the level at which the product’s primary
characteristics operate. The company has put great effort to maintain the
quality level of the brand which is the main factor of Nestlé s success

Business analysis:

In start, the sale of product will be zero and cost will be very high on product
promotion. The product will be sell at no profit even we can face some lose
in start. And after some time the more profit can be generated due to
increase in market.

Product Planning:
This stage of the process involves several steps. We develop the
Nestle Cerelac Project and responsibility for the project is assigned to a
project team. The proposal of Nestle Cerelac is analyzed in term of
Production, Marketing, Financial and Competitiveness factors. A
development budget is approximately Rs.25, 00,000/- is established and
some preliminary marketing and technical research is undertaken. Nestle
Cerelac Wheat, Honey and Flakes features and components specifications
are outlined. Finally, a project plan of this product is written up, which
includes estimate of future development, production and marketing costs

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

along with capital requirements and improvements and manpower needs.


Project proposal is given to top management for a go or no-go decision.

Product Development:
At this stage, out planning is completed and the product is physically
developed. We choose the most appropriate plan and then start working on
it. The plan we selected is the best among all available and meets the most of
requirements. A development report to management is prepared that spells
out in fine detail:
1. Results of the studies;
2. Required plan design;
3. Production facilities design;
4. Marketing Test plan;
5. Financial program survey.

Test Marketing:

Stage 4: JUNIOR STRONG FOUNDATION


Ready to try more!

Up until now product has been company secrets. Now product goes

situations to determine customer acceptance.
Test Marketing is a controlled experiment in a limited geographic area to test

as designing or advertisement. The main goal of the test market is to


evaluate and adjust the general marketing strategy to be used and the
appropriate Marketing Mix. Throughout the test market process, findings are
being analyzed and make specific adjustments if necessary. Upon
completion of a successful test market phase, the marketing plan can be
finalized and the product prepared for launch.

Commercialization:
In this step the product is actually launch. Distribution pipeline is filled with
product. The firm commits to introduce the product into the marketplace.
During this stage, heavy emphasis is placed on the organization structure
and management talent needed to implement the marketing strategy.
Emphasis is also given to following up on such things as errors in the
design, production costs, quality control and inventory requirements. Critical
path analysis is useful at this stage.

Quality level:
Consumers consider that the level of the product quality when purchase
decisions are both new and existing products. At minimum, buyers want
product that will perform the functions they are supposed to and do so
reasonably well. Some customers are willing to accept lower quality if
product use is not demanding and the price are lower.
In designing new products, it must be considered what criteria
potential customers use to determine their perception of quality.
Eight general criteria are:
 Performance
 Features
 Reliability
 Durability
 Serviceability

University of Education Okara Campus

New Product Development

 Overall evaluation

Product Design:
Many well-design products are easy to us as intended and pleasing to the
senses. Designing new products with both ease of use and aesthetic appeal
can be difficult, but it can clearly differentiate a new product from
competitors. Good design can add great value to a new product.

Product life cycle:


Introduction:
When Nestle Cerelac Wheat, Honey and Flakes will be first introduces
there will be no sale revenue and more losses. There will be also a lot of
promoting and advertising as the product is new so that consumers get
information about product existence. So this is where Nestle have to spent
the large amount of money for promoting its product and establishing brand
as the leader in the communication market.

Growth:
This stage of life cycle also has high promotion costs involved in it, this is
due to the fact that Nestle Cerelac Wheat, Honey and Flakes is becoming
established as a consumer necessity and lots of other companies decide to
enter the growing market there will also increased profit.

established and there is no need for publicity. Sales volume will be at peak
and profit level very high.

Decline:
This is the stage where the product’s sales volume have to decrease and
prices and market profitability.
The progression of a product through these stages is by no means certain. It
depends on the product category. Our company must have various

techniques designed to prevent the process of falling into the decline stage.
In most cases however, one can estimate the life expectancy of a product
category. Marketers' marketing mix strategies change as their products goes

the Nestle Cerelac is divided into four segments basis.

 Geographic Segmentation:
Cerelac segments its market geographically on divisional basis. They divide in different
zones. And every distributor is restricted to sale its products only in his own zone.

North, west, south, east and south north.

 Demographic Segmentation:
Age:
Regarding this variable, Nestlé Cerelac has segmented the market from early age infants
to 5 years old children and has launched different flavors and kinds of cereal according to
their requirements. On other hand Nestlé Cerelac has made this product for infants but has
actually targeted the mothers.

Income Group:
This is also an important variable on which segmentation can be carried out. People
belonging to the lower income groups cannot afford to buy readymade baby foods. So
Nestlé will target that segment whose income puts them in the upper middle and higher
income groups.

for infants as proxy of chest food.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Above BCG matrix is defining the current standing of Nestlé products. If we compare
Cerelac in baby food industry in Pakistan Cerelac would be standing still in cash
cow because neither there is market growth in this industry nor any good competition. I
couldn’t find any other baby food product which is producing in Pakistan. If there is any
so that product would be standing in question mark or in dog section.

Stars:
The two SBUs, Mineral water and Confectioneries fall into this category of the BCG.
These SBUs have high market share and high industry growth rate. These SBUs are
requiring lots of investment to compete in the growing market. For example lots of money
is being spent and aggressively e-marketing.

Cash Cows:
Milk products, Coffee and Dietetic and Infant food have a high market share and are doing
business in mature industries. Since the customers of this product category are loyal, the
marketing costs of these SBUs are quite low and as a result a large amount of cash can be
generated. Customer Loyalty is a must for these Cash cows to maintain their market
share.

Question Marks:
Including in this section are the culinary products of the organization. The products such
as Maggi 2- minute Noodles and Maggi cold sauces have a low market share and a high
growth rate. These products especially the cold sauces are operating in a highly
competitive market.

Dog:
Chocolate and Fruit drinks fall into this category and they possess a low market share and
a low growth rate. This is quite a small increase considering the rise in the sales of other
SBUs. However, the chocolate drinks are still profitable so the firm does not have to
worry about liquidating or getting rid of this SBU.

Nestlé needs to introduce new flavors such as apple, grape etc. to capture the market that
prefer these flavors. This will not only increase the sales of the SBU, but it will also
increase its market share. At the moment, additional amount of money is not being
invested in these SBU s, as they are not very profitable. Nestlé is currently trying to

University of Education Okara Campus

maximize profits from this category by minimizing expenditures and by differentiating the
product to build market share.

Branding:

personality traits to a brand so as to achieve differentiation. Cerelac s brand

SWOT Analysis

SWOT ANALYSIS:
University of Education Okara Campus
79
New Product Development

 Strengths:
Quality Standard:
Every product of nestle is produced according to set of standards. So
manufacturing are the strength all the time processing in religiously
monitored at every stage.

Trusted for Brand:


Because of largest company in the world the people prefer nestle products to
be purchased and due to the strong brand image. For example when ever
people want to purchase their desired product, they just mention the name of
product.

Parent support:

Nestle has a strong support from its parent company, which is the world’s
largest processed food and beverage company, with a presence in almost
every country. The company has access to the parent’s hugely successful
global folio of products and brands.

High quality products

Brand strength:

In Pakistan, Nestle has some very strong brands like Nescafe, Maggi and
Cerelac. These brands are almost generic to their product categories.

Product innovation:

The company has been continuously introducing new products for its
Pakistan patrons on a frequent basis, thus expanding its product offerings.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

 Weakness:

Exports:

The company’s exports stood at Rs 2,571 m at the end of 2003 (11% of


revenues) and continue to grow at a decent pace. But a major portion of this
comprises of Coffee (around 67% of the exports were that of Nescafe instant
to Russia). This constitutes a big chunk of the total exports to a single
location. Historically, Russia has been a very volatile market for Nestle, and
its overall performance takes a hit often due to this factor.

Supply chain:

The company has a complex supply chain management and the main issue
for Nestle Pakistan is traceability. The food industry requires high standards
of hygiene, quality of edible inputs and personnel. The fragmented nature of
the Pakistan market place complicates things more.

 Opportunities:

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Fast Growing Field:

The best beverage for India in the new millennium seems to be water. In
recent years, the bottled drinking water market has been witnessing high
decibel level of activity, with a host of new entrants. The bottled water
market which worth Rs. 1000 crore is expected to be Rs. 5000 crore by
2010. This will increase a lot of scope for bottled water market.

Expansion:

The company has the potential to expand to smaller towns and other
geographies. Existing markets are not fully tapped and the company can
increase presence by penetrating further. With Pakistan’s demographic
profile changing in favor of the consuming class, the per capita consumption
of most FMCG products is likely to grow. Nestle will have the inherent
advantage of this trend.

Product offerings:

The company has the option to expand its product folio by introducing more
brands which its parents are famed for like breakfast cereals, Smarties
Chocolates, Carnation, etc.

Global hub:

Since manufacturing of some products is cheaper in Pakistan than in other


South East Asian countries, Nestle Pakistan could become an export hub for
the parent in certain product categories.

 Threat:

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Competition:

The company faces immense competition from the organized as well as the
unorganized sectors. Off late, to liberalize its trade and investment policies
to enable the country to better function in the globalised economy, the
Pakistan Government has reduced the import duty of food segments thus
intensifying the battle.

Changing consumer trends:

Trend of increased consumer spends on consumer durables resulting in


lower spending on FMCG products. In the past 2-3 years, the performance
of the FMCG sector has been lackluster, despite the economy growing at a
decent pace. Although, off late the situation has been improving, the
dependence on monsoon is very high.

Sectoral woes:

Rising prices of raw materials and fuels, and in turn, increasing packaging
and manufacturing costs. But the companies’ may not be able to pass on the
full burden of these onto the customers.

STRATEGIES FOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Every product on the shelf, every service and every customer contact helps
to shape this image. A Nestlé brand name on a product is a promise to the
customer that it is safe to consume, that it complies with all regulations and
that it meets high standards of quality. Customers expect us to keep this
promise every time. Under no circumstances will we compromise on the
safety of a product and every effort must be made to avoid hazards to health.

Likewise, compliance with all relevant laws and regulations is a must and is
not negotiable. People, equipment and instruments are made available to
ensure safety and conformity of Nestlé products at all times. The effort is
worth it. Companies with huge quality standards make fewer mistakes,
waste less time and money and are more productive. They also make higher
profits. Quality is our most successful product. It is the key to our success,
today and tomorrow.

The customer comes first:

We want to win and keep customers: distributors, supermarkets, hotels,


shopkeepers and the final consumers. They have very different requirements.
Trade customers expect excellent service, correct information and timely
delivery. Consumers consider taste, appearance and price when they make
their choice. Our task is to understand what customers want and respond to
their expectations rapidly and effectively. We serve various groups of
consumers and there is demand for products at different levels of perceived
quality and price. All customers, however, expect value for their money –
good quality at a reasonable price. When offering quality to customers we
also mean environmental quality. Nestlé shares society’s concern for the

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

environment and is committed to environmentally sound business practices


throughout the world.
Customers are central to our business and we must always respect their
needs and preferences.

Quality is a competitive advantage:

We live in a competitive world and must never forget that our customers
have a choice. If they are not satisfied with a Nestlé product, they will
switch to another brand. Our goal, therefore, is to provide superior value in
every product category and market sector in which we compete.
The pursuit of highest quality at any price is no guarantee for success, nor is
a single-minded cost-cutting approach. Lasting competitive advantage is
gained from a balanced search for optimal value to customers, by
simultaneous improvement of quality and reduction cost.
Success can never be taken for granted. We must watch and learn from our
competitors. If they do something better, we must improve our own
performance. We can achieve competitive advantage through Quality.

Quality is a joint effort:

Operating companies are fully responsible for maintaining agreed quality


standards. Not only Production units, but also Marketing, Purchasing,
Distribution and Sales have a vital role to play in providing quality to
customers.

This implies a thorough knowledge of the products and services we offer


Quality units at different levels of the organization provide specific support,
promote quality awareness, assume guardianship and audit the system.

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

Quality departments monitor operations against agreed standards and must


intervene in case of non-conformity.

Quality policy and principles, the mandatory standards and the


recommended tools for implementation are laid down in the Nestlé Quality
System that is applicable throughout the group. Further directions are given
through instructions, norms and guidelines, often specific to a product.

Our business products, such as raw material producers, packaging suppliers,


contract manufacturers and distributors are expected to share our concern for
Quality. They too must set up an adequate quality system, so as to meet our
requirements consistently. Every function and department in the company as
well as our business partners must share the quality efforts.

Quality is made by people:

Adequate equipment, procedures and systems are needed to make Quality;


so are involved and dedicated people. Each and every Nestlé employee must
do his best to provide quality products and services.

Training and teamwork are crucial to the successful implementation of high


quality standards. Continuous training ensures that everyone understands his
tasks and has the necessary skills to carry them out. Teamwork allows us to
achieve results that are greater than the sum of individual efforts.
We motivate employees by demonstrating management commitment to
Quality, by setting challenging goals and by giving them responsibility and
recognition. It is through employee involvement that goals and targets can

University of Education Okara Campus


79
New Product Development

be achieved in the shortest time. Quality must be a way of life for everyone
in the company.

Quality is action:

Quality is the result of deliberate action. It is the responsibility of senior


managers to communicate the quality objectives and to provide the resources
necessary for their implementation. It is then up to all employees to make
Quality happen throughout the company. Progress is followed by listening to
our customers and by measuring our performance. Shortcomings and
mistakes must be analyzed and corrected. Problems must be anticipated and
prevented before they occur. We also must identify and take advantage of
opportunities.
To stand still is to fall behind. So we must strive for continuous
improvement in every area. It is through many small improvements as well
as through major breakthroughs that we will achieve excellence.

Conclusion:
The food processing business in Pakistan is at a nascent stage. Currently,
only about 10% of the output is processed and consumed in packaged form
thus highlighting huge potential for expansion and growth. Traditionally,
Pakistan believes in consuming fresh stuff rather then packaged or frozen,
but the trend is changing and the new fast food generation is slowly
changing.

At Rs 604, the Nestle stock trades at nearly 25 times annualized 9mCY04


earnings and market cap to sales of 2.4 xs. The stock trades at a premium
valuation over peers owing to its superior growth and quality product
