INTRODUCTION
The global spirits industry has proved to be recession-resistant with slowing economies not having any major impact on the overall growth of the industry. However, there has been some shift in the business and consumption trends. For example, the ongoing economic slump has led to a shift from on-premise to off-premise consumption as off-premise consumption has proved more economical. Likewise, the aging population, particularly in the United States, has created above-average demand growth for spirits and wine. Globally, the spirits industry is growing on the back of two importance factors. First, the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) witnessing strong ongoing momentum in spirits and wine consumption as a result of rise in discretionary spending of consumers. Secondly, the western markets, notably United States although slow is still well oriented. .
Apart from the favorable demographics i.e. aging population, the shift in the consumption of alcoholic beverage from beer to spirits and wine - is helping the growth of the spirits industry. Within the spirits business, the trend towards premium products has further helped the industry in value terms. Spirit markets have been premiumizing across the regions as premium consumers have more and more access to more sophisticated products and are aggressively willing to pay premium for higher quality brands. 2007 proved to be a remarkable year for the global distilled spirits market with strong growth in emerging countries and moderate progress in Western markets within a worldwide economic context of lower growth. In the year 2008 and beyond, despite of a difficult economic environment, emerging economies have witnessed a strong growth with significant moderate growth in other markets that will help the overall industry growth.

With the advancement of business processes, supply chain gained more and more importance for each member of business community including manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, suppliers suppliers and even consumer. Strategies were developed in order to accelerate product sales and distribution. With the expansion of sales from areas to cities and cities to countries, the need arose for proper tracking of demand and supply as well as forecasting of materials, supplies, sales and distribution schemas. After the emergence of Information Technology and business globalization, the concept of integrated supply chain management was revolutionized. Information technology consists of the tools used to gain awareness of information, analyze this information, and execute on it to increase the performance of the supply chain.

2.1 HISTORICAL ASPECT OF ALCOHOL IN INDIA Beverages believed to contain ethanol are mentioned in ancient literature dating back to the Vedic period around 2000 B.C. Two varieties of drinks are described soma and sura along with their effects and the harms that might result from excessive consumption. Soma the drink of the social elite was credited with positive qualities. On the other hand, sura was consumed by warriors to enhance their valor and courage among, among other things. Soma receives no further mention in post-Vedic literature, but sura and its variants have remained a part of Indian literature ever since. For example South Indian literature contains descriptions of fermented palm sap drinks that may be similar to present day toddy. Alcohol was also an ingredient in many medicinal preparations in the traditional Ayurvedic medical system. Ancient Indian medical texts describe in detail the harmful effects of excessive or indiscriminate drinking on the mind and body.
Despite the knowledge and availability of alcoholic beverages, they were never a routine part of the diet in India. Strict rules and guidelines governed who could drink and under what circumstances. Manu, the ancient Hindu sage, strictly forbade drinking by Brahmins, the learned ones. Members of other social classes were allowed to drink, but only on special occasions.
Although the Islamic tradition has stronger prohibitions against alcohol than the Hindu does, drinking was common among the Mughal emperors and their subjects. Soldiers were encouraged to drink habitually and other social sectors were allowed to join in mass drinking at festivals or other public functions. While it does not favor alcohol use, the Sikh religion tolerates drinking, especially by the military class. Therefore it comes no surprise that Punjab-the traditional Sikh homeland-has one of the highest alcohol consumption figures in contemporary India. In contrast to these other religious traditions, the Buddhist and Jain religions strictly forbid alcohol use in any form under any circumstance. In sum, ancient Indian society had the knowledge of how to prepare beverage alcohol, but did not support routine alcohol use and regarded abstinence as a virtue for most people. Although alcohol never became a part of daily food and drink, its occasional use was permitted. The available evidence suggests that alcohol use didnt pose a significant or social problem in ancient and medieval India. The period of colonial rule saw a slow but steady rise in alcohol consumption, with significant changes in the beverage consumed, the pattern of drinking, and social attitudes towards alcohol use. Distilled beverages of a much higher alcohol content gradually replaced traditional fermented beverages. Better fermentation and distillation process and the introduction of new packaging technology resulted in alcoholic beverages becoming mass- produced commercial items. Improved transportation facilities contributed to wider alcohol availability everywhere in India. While this played a role in increasing alcohol consumption, there was a more fundamental change in the pattern of drinking. As conventional rules and guidelines for alcohol use weakened, drinking changed from ritualistic and occasional to become a part of routine every day social inter course and entertainment. This European pattern of drinking was accompanied by a change in attitude towards alcohol, which came to be regarded more positively.
Page 9
2.2 TYPES OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Because India has great variety in topography, climate, vegetation, culture, and traditions, it is unsurprising that hundreds of kinds of alcoholic beverages are made and consumed. All of them however, can be grouped into the following for broad categories. Indian Made Foreign Liquor This category, created for revenue purposes, consists in Western style distilled beverages such as whiskey, rum, gin, vodka and brandy. These are made in India under government licenses and the maximum alcohol content allowed is 42.8%. Whiskey is by far the most popular drink in this category, with hundreds of brands available, at least 20 of which have an all India presence. Several dozen brands of rum, gin and brandy are also available. Wines fall under this category of liquor too, although until recently wine production and consumption in India was almost nonexistent. Some wines are now made in the country, and small amounts of wine are imported for selected consumers. Country Liquor These distilled alcoholic beverages are made from any cheap raw material available locally, e.g. sugarcane, rice, or coarse grains. Country liquor is produced in licensed distilleries and sold from authorized outlets within the same district. Common varieties of country liquor are arrack, desis harab, and toddy. Excise duties are paid, but
since production costs are low, the retail prices are also low. The licensing system and some governmental monitoring of the production process ensures a uniformity in alcohol content (around 40%) and basic safe guards against adulteration with other harmful intoxicants. Northern and western India are sugar producing areas and a large amount of molasses is available in these states at a very cheap price. Consequently molasses is the main raw ingredient for country liquor there. In south India, coconut and other palms are used for the same purpose. In addition, inexpensive are grains are used for country liquor all over India Illicit Liquor Besides lisecensed distilleries, a number of small production units operate clandestinely. The raw materials they use are similar to those in country liquor, but since they evade legal quality controls the alcohol concentration in their products varies and adulteration is frequent. It is common to find samples containing up to 56% alcohol. One dangerous adulterant is industrial methylated spirit, which occasionally causes mass poisoning of consumers who lose their lives or suffer irreversible eye damage. Since no government revenues are paid, illicit liquor is considerably less expensive than licensed country liquor, and thus finds a ready market among poor. In many parts of India illicit liquor production and marketing is like a cottage industry, with every village having one or two illegal operations. In addition to the commercial production of illicit liquor, home production for personal consumption also is common in some parts of the country. Beer Beer is relatively recent arrival in India, which remains largely a spirits-consuming society. However, beer production and consumption have grown rapidly. Indian beer is manufactured in large licensed breweries and is available under more than 60 brand names whose alcohol content ranges from 5% to 9%. Beer is available mostly in bottles, but cans have been introduced recently. Since for the same amount of alcohol the price of
Page 11
beer is much higher than distilled liquor, beer is a drink for the middle and upper economic classes. Beer also becomes a favorite beverage of the urban young.
2.3 TOP COMPANIES

Andhra Pradesh Beverages Corporation Limited The Andhra Pradesh Beverages Corporation Limited (APBCL) was established in the year 1986 as a fully owned undertaking of the Government, with the main objective of supplying pure and hygienic packed arrack to the consumers and is incorporated under Companies Act, 1956.

Rajasthan State Beverages Corporation Limited
Rajasthan State Beverages Corporation Limited (Company) was incorporated (February 2005), in wake of the Excise Policy of Rajasthan for the financial year 200506, with the main objective to carry on business as manufacturer, producer, processor, grower, trader, buyer, retailer, wholesale supplier of rectified spirit, all kinds of alcohol and other spirits suitable for industrial use. The Company was provided with exclusive rights for sourcing and pricing of Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) and beer in the state. The purpose was to make available proper quality and quantity of liquor to the consumers at a uniform rate throughout the state and to remove middlemen between manufacturers/suppliers and retailers so that the state could avoid revenue leakage. The Company framed (March 2006) a Liquor Sourcing and Pricing Policy (LSP) under the Excise Act for carrying out its commercial activities.

Page 13
depots. The turnover of the Company was Rs. 734 crores and Rs. 1003 crores in the years 2005-06 and 2006-07 respectively.
2.4 ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN INDIA
Alcohol consumption has been steadily increasing in developing countries like India and decreasing in developed countries since the 1980s. The pattern of drinking to intoxication is more prevalent in developing countries indicating higher levels of risk due to drinking. 62.5 million alcohol users estimated in India Per capita consumption of alcohol increased by 106.7% over the 15-year period from 1970 to 1996. Due to its large population, India has been identified as the potentially third largest market for alcoholic beverages in the world which has attracted the attention of multinational liquor companies.
Sale of alcohol has been growing steadily at 6% and is estimated to grow at the rate of 8% per year. About 80% of alcohol consumption is in the form of hard liquor or distilled spirits showing that the majority drink beverages with a high concentration of alcohol. Branded liquor accounts for about 40% of alcohol consumption while the rest is in the form of country liquor. People drink at an earlier age than previously . The mean age of initiation of alcohol use has decreased from 23.36 years in 1950 to 1960 to 19.45 years in 1980 to 1990. India has a large proportion of lifetime abstainers (89.6%). The female population is largely abstinent with 98.4% as lifetime abstainers. This makes India an attractive business proposition for the liquor industry.
Changing social norms, urbanization, increased availability, high intensity mass marketing and relaxation of overseas trade rules along with poor level of awareness related to alcohol has contributed to increased alcohol use. Taxes generated from alcohol production and sale is the major source of revenue in most states (Rs.25, 000 crores) and has been cited as a reason for permitting alcohol sale. Four states - Gujarat, Mizoram,
Page 14
Manipur and Nagaland - have enforced prohibition. Profile of clients in addiction treatment centers in 23 states (including states with prohibition) showed that alcohol was the first or second major drug of abuse in all except one state.
The Real Cost of Alcohol Large amount of revenue is generated from sale of alcohol. Yet, the hidden, cumulative costs of health care, absenteeism and reduced income levels related to heavy alcohol use are higher. These costs were estimated to be 60% more than the revenue generated in a study.
Health And Safety
Trauma, violence, organ system damage, various cancers, unsafe sexual practices, premature death and poor nutritional status of families with heavy drinking fathers are associated with alcohol use. Hazardous drinking was significantly associated with severe health problems such as head injuries and hospitalizations. 15 to 20% of traumatic brain injuries were related to alcohol use. Thirty seven percent of injuries in a public hospital were due to alcohol. Seventeen point six percent of psychiatric emergencies were caused by alcohol Thirty four percent of those who attempted suicide were abusing alcohol
Work Place Twenty percent of absenteeism and 40% of accidents at work place are related to Alcohol. Annual loss due to alcohol was estimated to be Rs.70 000 to 80 000 million In a public enterprise, number of workplace accidents reduced to lesser then one fourth of the previous levels after alcoholism treatment.
Page 15
Family Eighty five percent of men who were violent towards their wives were frequent or daily users of alcohol. An assessment showed that domestic violence reduced to one tenth of previous levels after alcoholism treatment. 3 to 45 % of household expenditure is spent on alcohol. Use of alcohol increases indebtedness and reduces the ability to pay for food and education. Alcohol abuse leads to separations and divorces and causes
emotional hardship to the family. The emotional trauma cannot be translated in terms of mo n e y but the impact it has on quality of lives is significant.
2.5 GLOBAL ALCOHOL/BEER INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The US beer, wine, and liquor store industry includes about 30,000 stores with combined annual revenue of about $30 billion. No major companies dominate; individual states have different laws regulating liquor stores, complicating the ability to form national chains. The industry is highly fragmented: the top 50 companies account for less than 20 percent of sales. Competitive Landscape Personal income, consumer tastes and entertainment trends drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective marketing and competitive pricing. Large companies offer wide selections and deep discounts, but small companies compete by offering specialized merchandise, providing superior customer service, or serving a local market. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $200,000. Liquor stores compete directly with grocery stores, warehouse clubs, convenience stores, and gas stations, and indirectly with restaurants, bars, and other establishments that serve alcohol.
Products, Operations & Technology Major products include distilled spirits, beer, and wine. Spirits or liquors account for almost 40 percent of sales, beer for 30 percent, and wine for 25 percent; Liquor (or hard liquor) includes gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, brandy, and liqueurs. State laws dictate the type of alcohol sold in a particular venue. In some states, only liquor stores can sell hard liquor. Liquor stores may also be known as package stores, referring to the postProhibition law requiring stores to cover or package alcoholic beverages in public. Each state has an alcohol control agency, and state laws regulate the sale of alcohol, including specifying what types of retailers may sell alcohol, and limiting days and hours of operation. Most states are open or license states, and allow private ownership of retailers. In control states, the state government controls liquor distribution, and may operate retail liquor outlets. State-run liquor stores may be referred to as ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) stores.

3.1 HISTORY OF KSBC
Page 18
The judicial commission of inquiry appointed by the Government to streamline the liquor trade in the state recommends: (1) To provide genuine liquor at reasonable price, through Government agencies. (2) Exploitation through increased taxation and exploitation by middleman should be stopped and consumer protection must be the guiding policy. For achieving the above, nationalization of entire liquor trade was suggested.In line with the suggestion the Government decided to set up a Public Sector Corporation to procure spirit and arrange blending, bottling, sealing and distribution of arrack and also for dealing with the sale of IMFL. An amendment was made in the Abkari Act in 1984 to give effect to the same KSBC was formed on 23.2.1984 to take over the wholesale distribution of liquor in a phased manner and to eventually set up distilleries and blending units to produce spirit, arrack and IMFL. Since then the distribution of liquor has been brought under the control of the Corporation. By a decision in 2001 the majority of the retail outlets also have been entrusted to the Corporation. As at present the whole activity of IMFL from procurement to distribution and sale to the consumer is controlled by the Corporation except for loose vending of liquor by Bars / Clubs and a small portion of the retails by Consumer Federation COMPANY DETAILS UNITS The Head Office of the Beverages Corporation is situated in Sasthakripa Office Complex, Sasthamangalam, Thiruvananthapuram. There are 18 Warehouses in different Districts and 337 FL1 shops under the Corporation. TABLE 3.1 Name and address of KSBC warehouses

The Corporation also reserves the right to periodically subject the samples for Chemical Examination/Verification of standards and the Expenses incurred by the Corporation for such Chemical Examination/Verification will have to be borne by the supplier. These stipulations are strictly adhered to.
Replacement/Replenishment basis of Purchase
Government have issued guidelines vide G.O.No.24112/DL/85/TD dated 28.10.1985 to place orders by and large only on replacement/replenishment basis. Accordingly purchase of Indian Made Foreign Liquor and BEER are based on the average monthly sales of the respective supplier. The average is of the previous three month sales. The average monthly sales are reviewed every month and a re-order quantity (ROQ) based on the requirement is placed. The ROQ is normally 30 days, 40 days, 45 days requirement as the case may be. When the stock plus the order pending execution falls below the ROQ, the shortfall is replenished on a daily basis.
Page 40
The arrangement to replenish stock could be applied only if a supplier has an average monthly sales. Unless an order is given to companies who quote for the first time there cannot be an average monthly sales for the respective supplier and consequently the norm cannot be implemented. It is to ensure this the initial order of a few loads are given for new suppliers at the commencement of the financial year. In order to ensure uniformity in placing purchase orders at the commencement of the year all the companies are uniformly given initial orders. Thereafter from the next fortnight onwards, orders as per formula indicated above is being given.
Special Orders
Special orders are also placed on trade discount basis to the supplies depending upon the requirement. That is if a company offers a trade discount of 10% for IMFL and 5% for Beer, special orders are placed to the extent of a maximum of two loads when the stock is nil or meager.
Purchase committee
A Purchase Committee consisting of the Company Secretary, Internal Auditor, Finance Manager, Administrative Officer, Regional Manager and Senior Manager reviews the procedure above. Recommendations of the Committee are placed before MD, who gives final orders for placement of purchase orders. The orders so placed are subsequently ratified by the Board of Director.

CHAPTER - 5 ANALYSIS
Page 59
SWOT ANALSIS A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic planning process. Environmental factors internal to the firm usually can be classified as strengths (S) or weaknesses (W), and those external to the firm can be classified as opportunities (O) or threats (T). Such an analysis of the strategic environment is referred to as a SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis provides information that is helpful in matching the firm's resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates. As such, it is instrumental in strategy formulation and selection. Sometimes a business does poorly not because its department lacks the required strengths but because they do not work together as a team, A leading consultant suggests that winning companies are those that have achieve superior in company capabilities, not just core competencies. Every company must manage some basic processes such as new product development, sales generation and other fulfillment. Each process creates values and requires inter-departmental team work. Although each department may posses specific core competencies the challenge is to develop superior competitive capability in managing the companys key process.
Page 60
STRENGTH One of the greatest Strengths of KSBC is its Monopoly in liquor business in the State. One of the greatest sources of income to the Government of Kerala Another important Factor is the never reducing demand for its Product because increase in the price of the product is not all a threat for the Sale of the Liquor Supplied by the KSBC. A pool of very experienced professional managers and workforce Trust among people due to its age old tradition and govt control.
WEAKNESS Congested Working environment in the Head Office. Political Influences in a large scale affects the Industrial Peace leading to the clashes between various trade unions. There Staff consists of AITUC, INTUC, and CITUC but they are not united for the Welfare of the Workers.
Page 61
OPPORTUNITY KSBC has taken over Travancore Sugar mills and Planning to take over another Sick units which will open
THREATS The main threat is the Product itself which is a harmful one for the health of people.
Page 62
PORTER S FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS
Page 63
PORTERS FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS The model of pure competition implies that risk-adjusted rates of return should be constant across firms and industries. However, numerous economic studies have affirmed that different industries can sustain different levels of profitability; part of this difference is explained by industry structure. Michael Porter provided a framework that models an industry as being influenced by five forces. The strategic business manager seeking to develop an edge over rival firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm operates.
Page 64
Supplier Bargaining Power
The Suppliers bargaining power depends on various factors such as:

Supplier concentration Importance of volume to supplier Differentiation of inputs Impact of inputs on cost or differentiation
Switching costs of firms in the industry
Presence of substitute inputs Threat of forward integration
Page 65
Cost relative to total purchases in industry
There is sufficient suppliers concentration in KSBC but they have but they have no bargaining power because it holds the monopoly trade of liquor in the state.
Buyers Power The Buyers bargaining power depends on various factors such as: Bargaining leverage Buyer volume Buyer information Brand identity Price sensitivity Threat of backward integration Product differentiation Buyer concentration vs. industry Substitutes available Buyers' incentives The prospective buyers are driven by the addiction tendency rather than any other demand and Supply factors so they are ready to purchase even at higher costs without bargaining in the case of KSBC.
Barriers To Entry
The Entry of the new firms depends on various factors such as: Absolute cost advantages Proprietary learning curve
Page 66
Access to inputs Government policy Economies of scale Capital requirements Brand identity Switching costs Access to distribution Expected retaliation Proprietary products
The Corporation holds the monopoly of liquor trade in the State so there no new firm can enter into the market.
Threat of Substitutes Threat of the Substitutes depends on various factors such as: Switching costs Buyer inclination to substitute Price-performance trade-off of substitutes The monopolistic feature once again protects KSBC from the Threat of Substitutes.
Page 67
CHAPTER 6 FINDINGS, SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSION
Page 68
FINDINGS 1. Unlike other government organizations KSBCs employees are highly satisfied with the performance of this organization. 2. But facilities of these warehouses are not up to mark. Computer facilities, storage capacity of warehouse, etc are not up the standard. 3. The increasing numbers of shops are good for the growth of KSBC. 4. The quality of IMFL and Beer was checked and certificates are issued by the Chief Chemical Examiner of the state. 5. The arrangement of products in warehouse is based on demand. 6. In most demanded situation the availability of all the brands are poor. 7. The business diversification of KSBC is good for the growth of this organization. 8. All retail shops keep a definite level of inventory.
Page 69
SUGGESTIONS 1. Computerize all the warehouses and retail shops of KSBC. This helps them to lower paper works. 2. Improve infrastructure facilities of warehouses, retail shops and head office. 3. KSBC must implement a WAN (wide area network). This helps them to get instant information from warehouses and retail shops. 4. In most demanded situation the warehouses must keep a definite amount of safety inventory.
5. Working ambience can be changed accordingly so that the boredom and feeling of being monotonous does not exist
Page 70
CONCLUSION
KSBC was formed to take over the wholesale distribution of liquor in a phased manner and to eventually set up distilleries and blending units to produce spirit, arrack and IMFL. Since then the distribution of liquor has been brought under the control of the Corporation. By a decision in 2001 the majority of the retail outlets also has been entrusted to the Corporation. As at present the whole activity of IMFL from procurement to distribution and sale to the consumer is controlled by the Corporation except for loose vending of liquor by Bars / Clubs and a small portion of the retails by Consumer Federation.
