Introduction of My Internship

experiences which are the necessary part of my course MBA. I spent six

weeks in the Coca-Cola Company. In this time, I got the fantastic time to

learn in the practical scenario and I found that my theoretical knowledge is

how much match with this organization.

Area of Interest

I have interested in the area of “Sales and Marketing” because I have

specialized in Marketing. So I have a love for the field of Marketing. I have

chosen this field because of the global economy goes down right now. So in

this way, I think marketing people can play a vital role in the development of

products and produce innovative ideas to boost up the sale of the company.

Overview of the Coca Cola

History

1886

On May 8, 1886, Atlanta druggist Dr. John Styth Pemberton (former Confederate

officer) invented "Coca-Cola" syrup using melted sugar, water and other ingredients. It

was mixed in a 30-gal. Brass kettle hung over a backyard fire. It was marketed as a "brain

and nerve tonic" in drugstores.

He first "distributes” Coca-Cola by carrying it in a jug down the street to Jacobs’

Pharmacy. For five cents, consumers can enjoy a glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain.

This year, sales of Coca-Cola average nine drinks per day.

Frank M. Robinson, Pemberton's bookkeeper, was the person who suggested the name

"Coca-Cola", which was chosen because both words actually named two ingredients

found in the syrup. They were the coca leaf and the Kola nut. Robinson spelled Kola

with a “C” to make it look better in advertising.

` Internship Report Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola was first sold for 5¢ a glass at a soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in

Atlanta by Willis Venable.The first year's gross sales were $50 and advertising costs were

$73.96.

The original formula included extracts of the African kola nut and coca leaves,

both strong stimulants. "Coca-Cola" was one of thousands of exotic patent medicines

sold in the 1800’s that actually contained traces of cocaine.

1888

In 1888, Asa Griggs Candler bought the company from Dr. Pemberton. Later that

same year, Dr. Pemberton died. By 1914, Candler had acquired a fortune of some $50

million. Baseball hall of famer Cobb, a Georgia native, was another early investor in the

company.

1891

Atlanta entrepreneur Asa Griggs Candler acquires complete ownership of the

Coca-Cola business for $2,300. Within four years, his merchandising flair helps expand

consumption of Coca-Cola to every part of the nation. In this year Coca-Cola produced

its first calendar.

1893

The trademark "Coca-Cola” name and script are registered with the U.S. Patent

and Trademark Office. Dr. Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson

suggested the name and penned "Coca-Cola" in the unique flowing script that is famous

worldwide today. Mr. Robinson thought, "the two C’s would look well in advertising."

1894

Coca-Cola began as a fountain product, but candy merchant Joseph A.

Biedenharn of Mississippi was looking for a way to serve this refreshing beverage at

picnics. He begins offering bottled Coca-Cola, using syrup shipped from Atlanta, during

this especially busy summer. Joseph A. Biedenharn, owner of the Biedenharn Candy

Company in Vicksburg, Mississippi, first bottled "Coca-Cola."

1895

"Coca-Cola is now drunk in every state and territory in the U.S." - Asia Candler.

1898

Avenue and College Street—later to be called "Coca-Cola Place." This year, the

Company enters the markets of Canada and Mexico.

1899

Large-scale bottling becomes possible when Asa Candler grants exclusive rights

to Joseph B. Whitehead and Benjamin F. Thomas of Chattanooga, Tennessee, for one

dollar. The contract marks the beginning of The Coca-Cola Company’s unique

independent bottling system that remains the foundation of Company soft-drink

operations. Within 20 years, the regional bottling system will grow to include 1,000

bottlers, with operations in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Philippines and Guam.

1903

By 1903, the use of cocaine was controversial and "Coca-Cola" decided to use

only "spent coca leaves." It also stopped advertising "Coca-Cola" as a cure for headaches

and other ills.

1906

Cuba and Panama become the first two countries outside the U.S. to bottle Coca-

Cola.

1915

Around this time, bottles used by companies in the soft-drink industry are very

similar. And Coca-Cola has many imitators, which consumers are unable to identify until

they take a sip. The answer is to create a distinct bottle for Coca-Cola, one that anyone

would recognize, even if it were felt in the dark. As a result, the Root Glass Company of

Terre Haute develops the genuine Coca-Cola bottle with the contour shape now known

around the world. It replaces the straight-sided bottle, giving Coca-Cola a distinct

packaging advantage over the imitations.

1919

The Coca-Cola Company is sold for $25 million to Atlanta banker Ernest

Woodruff and a group of investors. Woodruff was appointed president of "Coca-Cola" on

time in New Orleans, Louisiana. Today; products of The Coca-Cola Company are

consumed at the rate of more than one billion drinks per day.

` Internship Report Coca-Cola

First of all the bottles are washed with very care & antiseptic liquid is used to kill

the germs.

Checking

After washing the washed bottles are checked by passing them in front of the

white light. In this step it is also checked that if the bottle is cracked or fine.

Filling

After checking the empty bottles the bottles are passed through the fillers. In this

the empty bottles are filled with coke. In the same machine the bottles are capped.

Tracking Serial Number

After the filling & capping the bottles are passed in front of the tracking machine

which prints serial number on the neck of the bottle which assures the tracking.

Checking

After this the final checking takes place, the filled bottles are passed in front of

the white light to see that the liquid is clear & there is nothing harmful in the bottle.

Production Rate

During whole of the process, a bottle takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to pass

through all the process, and when the production stops, then the last bottle sent on the

conveyer belt is ready after one and a half hour. So the total production time consumes

about one and half hour extra. The same plant is used for filling Sprite and Fanta bottles

This changing of the bottles is called Change Over, and for this purpose, the whole

production is stopped, completed and then started over requires one and half hour extra

time. In this way the total production time can be calculated. The filler fills about 7-8

bottles in a second which gives an average of 400 bottles a minute. So if the total

production time is known, we can easily calculate the units produced during a shift or a

day.

The production quantity can also be determined by another way. The total empty

bottles received from the loading department are noted, then the bottles broken, taken out

due to dirtiness, breakage, improper filling or free drinkage are noted at the end of the

day or shift. These are totaled and subtracted from the total empty bottles. This gives the

Sales promotion

Effective margins to

Failed products

The coca cola company used his same strategies for all the products so in this way

as the all the products should be successive. But it is not compulsory that the same

strategy is used for all the products. There are some failed products also. These failed

products of coca cola are

Splash (Minute Maid)

Sprite 3G

Reasons Of failure

Less Advertisement

The coca cola company not takes attention on the advertisement of the Splash.

The first TV commercial of splash is shown after two to three month of the launch of the

splash brand.

Awareness and communication

The promotional strategy of these products is not up to the standard so the people

in the market are less aware with these products splash and the sprite 3G.

Focus on push strategy

The company focuses more on the push strategy rather than the pull strategy.

Because these products are new and for new products pull strategy is more effective to

have.

The competitive products

There are more control of the competitive products in the market,. The people like

their product instantly more than the own brands. .these brands are more successful have

high market growth. Having more shares in the market these compotators are for splash

these are sheezan and nestle and for Sprite 3G there are “Mountain Dew” by the Pepsi

Company.

Taste and Flavor

NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF MODREN LANGUAGES

66

` Internship Report Coca-Cola

The taste and flavor of both these products are not liked by the people. According

to them the taste and flavor are not so refreshing than the other brands against the other

competitive brands

Market growth rate is low

The market growth rate of the splash and the sprite 3G is low because these are

the NPD (New product development).

Other reasons

A weak positioning strategy is used.

A less-than-optimal "configuration" of product or service attributes and benefits is

selected.

The advertising campaign generates an insufficient level of new product/new

service awareness.

Cannibalization depresses corporate profits.

Over-optimism about the marketing plan leads to a forecast that cannot be

sustained in the real world.

Future prospects of Coca Cola

Coca-Cola has always been a brand associated with youth and exuberance,

surrounded by a positive contemporary outlook on life. The marketers behind it must

have continued to do something right, as Coke remains arguably one of the most well

known brands in the world.

In future the coca cola have long plans. In their view the Pakistan Environment Is

affordable for some high social economics products. They also want to increase their

sales volume. For this purpose the company has more strong strategies for this purpose.

The company will get more attentive on their competitive brands. The company will

apply

More Stronger product solutions

More active pricing strategies

More segmented distribution

More stronger sales promotions

For Next year, these goals are:

Conclusion

It was a good experience working in all the departments and understanding

their procedures of handling their work and examining their strong

commitment and positive attitude towards serving the company. I came

across various experiences in Sales and Marketing Department.

Overall this organization is doing well. Company provides many benefits

and also facilitates its employees at all times. A rich culture is followed in

CCBPL Gujranwala. In short….I have spent a memorable time over here

and learned a lot from them. In the end I wish a prosperous and bright future

to Coca-Cola Beverages Pakistan Ltd. (Gujranwala Plant)

Recommendations

NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF MODREN LANGUAGES

71

` Internship Report Coca-Cola

The Coca-Cola promise and their aspirations for the 21st Century must drive their

decisions and their actions. The following recommendations are made for further

betterment;

The company should have a team to check the fake products in the market

Coca Cola Company should try to emphasis more on providing their

infrastructure in the market to facilitate their customers.

According to the survey, conducted by the international firm Pakistani people like

little bit sweeter cola drink. So for this coca cola company should produce their

product according to the local demand.

Marketing team should try to increase the availability of Coke in rural areas.

They should collaborate creatively with those who sell their products in the

marketplace, developing relationships built on mutual success, not only from their

brands, but also from their services.

They should actively cultivate a diverse, rewarding culture that encourages their

people to develop to their fullest potential, assuring enjoyment and satisfaction in

the Coca-Cola work environment.

They should intensely promote innovation as an explicit priority in every aspect

of their business, including the structures of their business.

They should consolidate resources to focus on the soft drink market and divest of

other businesses such as fruit drinks

They should continually operate as model business citizens, consistently shaping

them business decisions to improve the quality of life in the communities where

they do business.

Most of the outlets complaint about the lid of regular size bottle as there has been

the problem of rust on it, so it is recommended to the Company to regular

feedback from the market about the quality and distribution of product.

The job descriptions should be revised.
