21 | P a g e Internship Report
(4.2)SUPPLY CHAIN DEPARTMENT

The concept of having a Supply Chain Department is a new one in Pakistan.


This trend ismostly prevalent in the developed markets. Nestl Milkpak has
recently introduced thisconcept in its company functions and the supply chain
department is passing throughvarious stages of completion. Nonetheless, it has
started working and performing vitalfunctions for the organization.

Functions of the Supply Chain:

The supply chain department performs a range of functions, starting from the
procurement of raw and packaging material, the manufacturing process and
thedistribution of the finished goods to the consumers. Purchase, logistics,
production planning are different issues but Nestl Milkpak has undertook the
concept of getting the hurdles attached with these resolved under one
umbrella.

division. After him, follow the Group Brand Managers. Each Group
Brand Manager is responsible for a variety of products. Group Brand
Managers are assigned Brand Managers for each single brand of
product. This kind of setup, has been arranged so that there is no
extra burden on any person.

(4.4)TREASURY DEPARTMENT

Treasury Department comprises of three sections, the first looking after all the
daily transactions with the Financial Institutions, the second sub-section is of
Share Registration and the third deals with the Insurance concerns of the
organization. The Treasury Department is a new department at Nestl Milkpak
Limited. It is a comprehensive department handling various kinds of jobs. It
has been structured in a way to deal with all external financial relationships.

External financial relations for Nestl Milkpak are:

Shareholders
Suppliers or Vendors
FinancialInstitutions

As repeatedly mentioned that Nestl Milkpak has divided the country into three
zones for its convenience. The Treasury Department also has links with all the
three zones. It works in co-ordination with them to know about the actual cash
requirements in each zone and their respective regions.

Following is the structure of the Treasury Department at Nestl Milkpak


Limited

The Treasury dealing with the payments and receipts connected with every
zone.

The Share Registration dealing with the investor relations i.e. keeping all
knowledge about the Stock exchange and the Central Depository Committee
ofwhich Nestl Milkpak is a member.

The Insurance section dealing with the area of risk management for the
assets of the organization i.e. both physical and material assets.

These three sections fall under the Treasury Manager who is responsible to
coordinate and look after the workings of each section. The Treasury Manager
is directly reporting to the Finance and Control Manager.
The main Treasury receives Sale Receipts from the north, south and central
zones on a daily basis. These sale receipts are adjusted at one bank account.

23 | P a g e Internship Report
Nestl maintains approximately 80-90 bank accounts in various banks located
at different places. But as the company follows a policy of being net borrowers
so the inflows are adjusted against the borrowings. This means that as soon as
the inflows reach any bank account, they are transferred to a single specified
account for adjustment against the borrowed funds. A minimum level of cash is
maintained at all the accounts for every region and zone.
Nestl makes all its payments on 30 days credit basis. Except for the Milk
collection areas where payments are made on cash basis. Nestl has recently
restructured its policy of making credit sales and now almost all the sales are
on cash basis. Therefore, the Treasury Department has to be very efficient in
order to keep track of all these transactions.

(4.5)CORPORATE PURCHASE DEPARTMENT

purchase and Purchase can be of two types either raw and packing material
purchase or technical purchase.it is headed by the Corporate Purchase

24 | P a g e Internship Report
The non taxable items include:Milk PowdersCereals
It is the responsibility of the Sales Tax department to calculate the figures
according tothe rates implied by the government. This amount is then added to
the price of an item and it is sold at profit to the distributor. The distributor in
turn, includes the amount of sales tax in his final price and sells the product to
the end consumer. So, the endconsumer has to bear the burden of the tax
eventually and this is a form of indirect tax for the producer and the
distributor. The rates of sales tax in case of registered to registered firms is
15% and 3% for non-registeredfirms.The sales tax department calculates these
figures and sends them to the Budget and Control section to enable them in
calculating the distributor and retailer margins

(4.7)INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT

Information Systems (IS) Department has a very important role in any


organization of the modern century. Especially, for such a large scale
Multinational Corporation like Nestl Milkpak limited that has to maintain
contact not only with its establishments in the country which it is operating
but also with Nestl Headquarters and Nestl setups in other countries,
Information Systems play a vital role.The exchange of information is a
continuous function and the decision making process is based on this
information.Proper hardware and software is necessary to
maintaineffectiveness and efficiency. The Information Systems Department
comes under the Finance and Control Division at Nestl Milkpak Limited.

Own lawyer to look after its best interests.

AzeemNaqvi, who handles the Legal Affairs Department at Nestl Milkpak


Limited, provided me the information on the legal affairs department

ESTABLISHMENT OF AN IN HOUSE COUNCIL Nestl Management took


control of Milkpak Limited in 1992, by a majority of shareholding in the
company. They entered into transactions with third parties. By 1995,most of
these contracts were getting mature. With time disputes arose with respect to
these business transactions. Legal complications started arising. Nestl
Milkpak had employed a couple of external lawyers to look after its legal
matters, but they were not being sufficiently taken care off. Top managers
weretoo busy in their own activities and coordination was lacking greatly.
Multinational corporations like Nestl employed foreigners who were easily
exploited by the locals. Therefore an In House Council was established in 1995,
to improve co-ordination and tolook after the day to day legal affairs of the

25 | P a g e Internship Report
company; such as drafting of opinions, salary matters and litigation of external
lawyers.

Following major functions are performed by the Legal Affairs Department


at NestlMilkpak Limited:

THE FINANCE AND CONTROL DIVISION at Nestl Milkpak is headed by the


Finance and Control Manager or popularly known as the FCM.
The FCM has six furture sections reporting to him. I was injected in it on the
first day after we took our letters from Human Resource Department. The Ist
remarkable achievement I found there was that customers were paying there
debts in advance. Which is not prevalent any where. It means that who
ever(TheDistributor) wants any product must pay for it, and inventory is
dispatched only on confirmation from the bank about the availability of
funds.The first achievement is amazing in itself because this phenomenon is
not taking place anywhere in the world..The financial accounting department
at Nestl was further subclassified in to threedepartments. These departments
work in close collaboration with other departments.The details regarding those
are on the coming pages.

CHAPTER 5(FINANCIAL ANALYSIS)

(5.1) BUSINESS REVIEW

MILK COLLECTION

The core raw material of Nestle Milkpak is milk. Over the last twelve years, the
Company's prime concern has been to improve the quality and volume of milk
for UHT processing and for other milk based products. Driven by its
commitment to quality and having realized that only self-collection could
eliminate its dependence on poor quality milk available from outside sources,
the Company successfully established its own collection system and expanded
its operations over a very large milk shed area in Punjab. Owing to this
tremendous growth in the volume of an extremely high quality raw milk, Nestle
Milkpak now produces a superior quality and better tasting UHT milk, with
longer shelf life. Today, Nestle Milkpak can boast of the largest milk collection
network in the country, unmatched in size, productivity and efficiency. Milk is
collected through a vast network of village milk centers (VMCs), sub-centers
and centers. At these centers, chillers have been installed to lower milk
temperature to 4C for preventing bacteria development during long hauls to
the factories, which are undertaken by a large fleet of specially insulated
tankers.5
In terms of quality, the milk collected by Nestle Milkpak is low in sodium, high
in fat and solid-non fats (SNF) and very low in Total Plate Count (TPC) which,
stated simply, means the bacteria count. This was achieved through a
comprehensive strategy and sustained efforts to overhaul the milk collection
process, intensive education program for the farmers and the milk collection
staff,up gradation of milk loading and transportation system, increase in the
chilling capacity and aboveall, adherence to the highest acceptance standards
at all milk collection points, including thefactories.As a service to farmers,
Nestle Milkpak has established an Extension Service, staffed byqualified
veterinary doctors, who assist them in vaccination and treatment of livestock,
improved breeding, good animal husbandry practices, provision of high yield
fodder seed etc. By taking professional help and guidance to their doorsteps,
which they otherwise find difficult to access,coupled with incentives and a good
and prompt return for their milk, Nestle Milkpak has created mutually
beneficial relationship with the farmers, which translates into opportunities of
economicuplift for the rural population. To promote milk production, Nestle
Milkpak is successfully promoting the use of molasses toenrich the fodder and
has arranged its distribution to farmers at cost.

30 | P a g e Internship Report
PRODUCTION

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,
desi ghee allunder the brand name of MILKPAK and juice drinks under the
brand name FROST. 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. With the
installation of the roller dryer in 1990, the first such product to come was
CERELAC - an internationally recognized brand of infant cereal. This was
followed by LACTOGEN 1 & 2 in 1991.
The year 1992 saw the introduction of tea whitener EVERYDAY and milk
powder in bulk packing named GLORIA. MILO and NESLAC came under
production in 1994 and MILO RTD in1995. Local packing of imported coffee
under the name of NESCAFE 3 in 1 commenced the sameyear. In 1996, Nestle
Milkpak's first confectionery plant of POLO Mint was installed and the
production of NESTLE PURE ORANGE JUICE commenced. Packaging of coffee
under the brandname of NESCAFE CLASSIC was undertaken the same year.In
1997 NESTLE WHEAT and two variants of POLO viz. Strawberry and Orange
were introduced.
In 1998 a substantial capital investment was made to launch several products
and install two new state-of-the-art technologies. SWEET TREETS were
launched in early 1998. The addition of two flavors of POLO: Blackcurrant and
Strong Mint, increased the number of POLO variants to five. A new variant
Lemony was added to the range of popular FROST fruit drink flavors and a
new1-liter packing of FROST was introduced. Flavored milks under the brand
FRESH & FRUITY came under production on the new Tetra Filling Machine
equipped with the modern "slim" format. MILORTD and UHT Cream were also
shifted over to this new format.
A new flexible confectionery line enabled the manufacture of a wide range of
high and low boiled sweets and toffees, including TOFFO and two variants of
SOOTH- ERS' Menthol Eucalyptus and Honey Lemon. Nestle Milkpak also
contracted to supply dairy mixes to McDonald's, for its popular soft serves and
milk shakes. And to top it all, the most prestigious project, NESTLE PURELIFE
was also commissioned in December. Based on the latest water treatment and
bottlingtechnology, this marked the entry of Nestle Milkpak in the Pakistan
water market and that of Nestlein the world water market.The expansion of
high boiled sweet line continued in 1999 with the introduction of FruitDrops
and BUTTERSCOTCH.

31 | P a g e Internship Report
The year 2000 saw the production of some exciting products. First came
NESCAFE FrothedOriginal, followed by its two other flavors: Mocha and French
Vanilla. NESCAFE Frappe RTD wasto come next. The fruit juice range was
expanded by the production of Mango and Orange- MangoMix. On the
confectionery side, TuttiFruiti was added under the umbrella of POLO and Wild
Cherrywas added to the SOOTHERS range.
The success of NESTLE PURE LIFE in PET bottlesencouraged the
commissioning of 5-gallon bottles production line for home and office in June.
Andthe last product line of the year to be commissioned in November was that
of NESTLE Plain Yogurt, a high quality product with special Stay-Fresh Seal.
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 8000tons).

NESTLE POLICIES

Business policies will continue to evolve and adapt to a changing world,


NESTLE basic foundation is unchanged. The time of origin of their company,

to ensure that the highest standards are met throughout the organization.
Nestls is conscious of the fact that the success of a corporation is a reflection

32 | P a g e Internship Report
its policies. Apart from professional skills and insight, the capacity and
willingness to apply these policies are the main criteria for progressing in the
organization, regardless of origin, nationality, religion, race, gender or age

(5.2) NESTLE CONTRIBUTION TO OTHER SECTOR

ECONOMIC

Nestl Milkpak Ltd makes a significant contribution to the economic sector of


Pakistan. Through generation of tax revenue, import substitution of milk
powder, export and infusion of over 2.3 billion rupees in the rural economy
through milk purchases, the company plays an active role in promoting
economic growth.
Nestl Milkpak Ltd continues to make investments in expanding its production
lines as well as bringing in new technologies, affirming its faith and confidence
in the country's future.

SOCIAL

In the social sector, the company has created over 1200 permanent job
opportunities for the skilled, unskilled and professional manpower, apart from
hundreds of contractual jobs. It has also played a remarkable role in expansion
and vitalization of the dairy and livestock sector.

ENVIRONMENT

Another key area where the company is proud to have made a contribution in
the environment.By making available the processed and packaged dairy.
Nestl Milkpak has switched over its fuel supply from heavy fuel oil to gas, as
gas burns cleaner than heavy fuel oils. This drastically reduces gases such as
carbon di oxide and carbon monoxide from being emitted into the atmosphere
and keeps the emissions well below the legal limits.
Steps have also been taken to reduce raw water consumption for cleaning and
other purposes.
This positively impacts on the efficiency of waste water treatment plant, of
which BOD & COD is continually monitored by the engineering department.
All waste packaging material is weighted and this information is sent to the
management to challenge all departments and suppliers to improve the
operations. For example, engineering & production is encouraged to improve
the performance of the packaging machines and the supplier to improve the
quality of their material supply. Efforts to reduce the quantity of packaging
material used for our products, without compromising their quality of their
quality, have yielded remarkable results over the years.

33 | P a g e Internship Report
Investments has also been made in a new waste incinerator in Sheikhupura
factory, which is environmental friendly and fitted with a gas burner that gives
off very low gas emissions into the atmosphere. This way tons of material is
converted into ash which is safer and easier to dispose off.

(5.3) NESTL RATIO ANALYSIS

Name of Ratios INTERPRETATION / COMPARISON OF RESULTS

Overall liquidity position of the company is not satisfactory as


LIQUIDITY its current, quick and cash ratios are far behind the level which
POSITION is considered to be the satisfactory level.

Current Ratio Measures the ability to meet current obligations in a timely


manner. A healthy current ratio is greater than 2 (Two)
Improve by: Increase current assets by increasing profit, selling
2011 0.94 additional capital stock, borrowing additional long term debt, or
disposing of unproductive fixed assets and retaining Proceeds.
Reduce current liabilities by retaining a greater portion of
2010 1.29 allocated savings. Avoid Financing non-current assets with
current liabilities.
Quick Ratio This ratio provides more secure position of companys current
assets available to discharge its liabilities in short period of
time. Quick ratio neglects the effect of inventories in current
asset as these are not readily convertible in cash. As
2011 0.56 inventories are sometime hard to cash so by subtracting their
effect from the current assets provide more realistic picture
regarding ability of the company to discharge its liabilities.
2010 0.76 Calculated ratio shows unsatisfactory result as 1:1 is
considered to be an idealistic ratio in this case.
Cash Ratio This ratio is the safest and pure form which indicates the extent
of companys cash can meet its current obligation. Cash ratio
considered only cash and bank balances + Cash equivalents
2011 0.27 and short term investments.

Nestle is far behind the satisfactory level. A good cash ratio is


2010 0.54 considered to be 0.50:1.
PROFITABILITY This section discusses the different measures of
RATIOS: corporate profitability and financial performance. These ratios,
much like the operational performance ratios, give users a
good understanding of how well the company utilized its
resources in generating profit and shareholder value.

The long-term profitability of a company is vital for both the


survivability of the company as well as the benefit received by
shareholders. It is these ratios that can give insight into the all

34 | P a g e Internship Report
important"profit".
In this section, we will look at four important profit margins,
which display the amount of profit a company generates on its
sales at the different stages of an income statement. We have
calculated Return on Assets, Return on Equity and net profit
margin in this category.

Return on Asset This ratio indicates how profitable a company is relative to its
total assets. The return on assets (ROA) ratio illustrates how
well management is employing the company's total assets to
make a profit. The higher the return, the more efficient
2011 8.59% management is in utilizing its asset base. The ROA ratio is
calculated by comparing net income to average total assets,
and is expressed as a percentage

2010 8.13%
Return on Equity This ratio indicates how profitable a company is by comparing
its net income to its average shareholders' equity. The return
on equity ratio (ROE) measures how much the shareholders
earned for their investment in the company. The higher the
ratio percentage, the more efficient management is in utilizing
2011 16.80% its equity base and the better return is to investors.

Widely used by investors, the ROE ratio is an important


measure of a company's earnings performance. The ROE tells
2010 14.45% common shareholders how effectively their money is being
employed. Peer company, industry and overall market
comparisons are appropriate; however, it should be recognized
that there are variations in ROEs among some types of
businesses. In general, financial analysts consider return on
equity ratios in the 15-20% range as representing attractive
levels of investment quality

But ROE cannot be alone interpreted as debt effect on


company may produce results which are more volatile even
having high return on equity. Nestle ROE is satisfactory as it
falls in the ideal range of 15-20% in 2011 and almost in 2010.

Profit Margin Assuming a constant gross profit margin, the operating profit
margin tells us something about a company's ability to control
its other operating costs or overheads
Measures operating performance It can be improved by
increase margins, increase service fees, or reduce expenses.

In this Case Nestle has profit margin but profit margin indicates
that company should control its operating, selling, admin and
2011 11.72% cost of production expenses.

2010 9.73%

35 | P a g e Internship Report
DEBT RATIOS: The third series of ratios in this tutorial are debt ratios. These
ratios give users a general idea of the company's overall debt
load as well as its mix of equity and debt. Debt ratios can be
used to determine the overall level of financial risk a company
and its shareholders face. In general, the greater the amount of
debt held by a company the greater the financial risk of
bankruptcy.

Overview of Debt will give a good idea of the different


classifications of debt. While it is not mandatory in
understanding the individual debt ratios, it will give some
background information on the debt of a company. The ratios
covered in this section include the debt ratio, which is gives a
general idea of a company's financial leverage as does
the debt-to-equity ratio while the interest coverage ratio shows
how well a company can meet its obligations.

Debt Ratio The debt ratio compares a company's total debt to its
total assets, which is used to gain a general idea as to the
amount of leverage being used by a company. A low
percentage means that the company is less dependent on
leverage, i.e., money borrowed from and/or owed to others.
The lower the percentage, the less leverage a company is
using and the stronger its equity position. In general, the higher
the ratio, the more risk that company is considered to have
taken on.
2011 48.92% The easy-to-calculate debt ratio is helpful to investors looking
for a quick take on a company's leverage. The debt ratio gives
users a quick measure of the amount of debt that the company
has on its balance sheets compared to its assets. The more
debt compared to assets a company has, which is signaled by
2010 43.93% a high debt ratio, the more leveraged it is and the riskier it is
considered to be. Generally, large, well-established companies
can push the liability component of their balance sheet
structure to higher percentages without getting into trouble

However, one thing to note with this ratio: it isn't a pure


measure of a company's debt (or indebtedness), as it also
includes operational liabilities, such as accounts payable and
taxes payable. Companies use these operational liabilities as
going concerns to fund the day-to-day operations of the
business and aren't really "debts" in the leverage sense of this
ratio. Basically, even if you took the same company and had
one version with zero financial debt and another version with
substantial financial debt, these operational liabilities would still
be there, which in some sense can muddle this ratio

Debt to Equity Ratio The debt-equity ratio is a leverage ratio that compares a
company's total liabilities to its total shareholders' equity. This
is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors
and obligors have committed to the company versus what the
shareholders have committed
2011
0.95:1 or 95% To a large degree, the debt-equity ratio provides another
vantage point on a company's leverage position, in this case,

36 | P a g e Internship Report
comparing total liabilities to shareholders' equity, as opposed to
total assets in the debt ratio. Similar to the debt ratio, a lower
2010 0.78:1 or the percentage means that a company is using less leverage
78% and has a stronger equity position.
The debt-equity ratio appears frequently in investment
literature. However, like the debt ratio, this ratio is not a pure
measurement of a company's debt because it includes
operational liabilities in total liabilities.
Nevertheless, this easy-to-calculate ratio provides a general
indication of a company's equity-liability relationship and is
helpful to investors looking for a quick take on a company's
leverage. Generally, large, well-established companies can
push the liability component of their balance sheet structure to
higher percentages without getting into trouble.

Nestls debt ratio of 95% seems less onerous which means


that creditors have more than one and half as much money in
the company than equity holders. Debt equity ratio of 1:1 is
considered good.
Interest Cover The ability to stay current with interest payment obligations is
absolutely critical for a company as a going concern. While the
non-payment of debt principal is a seriously negative condition,
a company finding itself in financial/operational difficulties can
2011 23.60 stay alive for quite some time as long as it is able to service its
interest expenses

The interest coverage ratio is used to determine how easily a


2010 14.67 company can pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. The
ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) by the company's interest expenses
for the same period. The lower the ratio, the more the company
is burdened by debt expense. When a company's interest
coverage ratio is only 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest
expenses may be questionable
Nestle has a satisfactory level of paying interest expenses out
of revenue. The ratio is also high with relation to its competitor.
INVESTMENT When looking at the financial statements of a company many
RATIO: users can suffer from information overload as there are so
many different financial values. This includes revenue, gross
margin, operating cash flow, EBITDA, pro forma earnings and
the list goes on. Investment valuation ratios attempt to simplify
this evaluation process by comparing relevant data that help
users gain an estimate of valuation

Earnings per share This ratio describes the overall performance of the company
and let its shareholders to analyze how well company is
performing. EPS is calculated by dividing profit after tax to
2011 weighted average issued share capital of company. Value
2.97 gives us information that one share of the company is entitled
to how much profit of the company. Idealistic EPS depends
2010 upon various factors such as political and economic conditions,
10.16 future plans of the organization and market behavior.

in the country. This was the birth of the Large Farm Development department
in Milk Collection and Dairy Development with the aim to encourage and
attract new investments into corporate dairy
farming. Although the main source of milk supply to factories is from the
traditional farmer, the local dairy industry is in great need of superior genetic
high milk yielding animals to satisfy the huge demand of the future. A
demonstration and training farm, called Sarsabz at RenalaKhurd, has been
established at the same time where four breeds of imported animals are kept to
demonstrate the potential, local experience and evidence of the successful
maintenance and management of exotic cows. This initiative has
simultaneously contributed to the establishment of a number of large farms
having more than 1000 animals producing more than 20 tons of milk per farm
per day.

42 | P a g e Internship Report
Services provided by this department includes a range of assistance such as
land selection, feasibility studies, linkages with animal importers and dairy
equipment suppliers, shed layout as well as technical support regarding
nutrition, breeding, farm economics, monitoring and evaluation and many
more. They believe that with this foundation, large scale dairy farming will
become more attractive and successful which will not only provide new
business opportunities but also satisfy the needs of consumers for good quality
dairy products.

Fresh Milk transport:

NESTLE is committed to prove Fresh Milk Transport Operations as a


competitive advantage for milk procurement operations, with safety at number
one priority. Efficiency, reliability & sustainability are our strategic pillars for
continuous improvement
Their project Safar Bakhair which won the Nestls Global Gold Award for

PROCEDURE FOR ADDITIONS OF ASSETS

Capital Investment Budget

The ensuing departments or divisions will send their asset


requirements (including specifications, drawings and all technical
details) to their respective divisional heads. The divisional heads will
approve the asset requirements if they are essential to the proper
operation and growth of the business. The assets are presented to the
Managing Director for approval in a joint meeting of the MD, FCM, CE,
and MM. After being approved by the MD each individual asset
requirement will be termed as Investment Proposal. These approved
investment proposals will be consolidated in the Investment Budget by
the CEfor the presentation of the Capital Investment Budget

Capital Expenditure Proposal

Once the Zone Manager at the Center has approved the Investment
Proposal, it becomes a credit. The Zone Management will allocate a
number to each credit. This credit number will be called the Capital
Expenditure Proposal (CEP) number, which is to be used fromthen on
in the concerned reporting and requests for issuance, allocation and
consumptionof funds. MD will communicate the approved budget to
the CE. The CE sends theapproved CEP's to the concerned Divisional
Heads, who transfer the relevant CEPnumbers to the concerned line
managers.

Budget Release by Managing Director

The MD will officially release the approved budget against each CEP
number on a need basis. Purchase Orders will be considered valid
only when they are raised against a budget release, for which the MD
has issued a written authorization to this effect.

Purchase Proposal Request

For all fixed assets purchase an authorized Purchase Proposal


Request has to be issued bythe person in need or responsible for the
availability of materials as the case may be.

48 | P a g e Internship Report
Cash Requirements Summary

For cash flow purposes, CE will prepare a summary of cash


requirements on a monthly basis and send it to the treasury manager
for arranging funds.

Completion Certificate

For a production related asset addition a Completion Certificate (CC)


will be used tosignify the closure of the physical and financial
requirement of a project on a given date.
For a non-production related asset addition a completion certificate
will be used tosignify the physical delivery and transfer of ownership
of an asset to the company. For alltypes of assets, the CC will provide
the allocation of the expenditure incurred, startingand completion
date and comments of the originating and executing department.

Asset Number Allocation

The asset numbers will be in accordance with the NEFAM software


requirement. TheGLD will be responsible for allocation of the asset
numbers to the additions in fixedassets. The material of different

suggested and verified by concerned authorities on the Deletion
Certificate. It is based on the expected market value of the deleted
asset.Sale of Production Asset in Cut Parts or Single UnitAt time of
deletion, it is also decided whether the asset will be sold by weight as
scrapafter having it cut in small parts or as single unit. If the nature
of the asset is such that itcan be used by the buyer to make a product
which can potentially compete with existing Nestl products available
in the market then it will be sold as scrap in the form of cut parts. On
the other hand, if the threat of production of a potentially competitive
product isnon-existent then the asset will be sold as a single unit.

Utilization of Part of Deleted Asset

At the time of deletion, it is also decided whether any part of the asset
(e.g. pipe, pump)which does not have any identifiable cost or book
value, can be utilized for anyoperational activity in the Company.

OVERALL APPRAISALS ABOUT MANAGEMENT

There are sets of policies which are uniform for everyone and strictly
enforced. The procedure for policy formulation is transparent; where
everyone is given a chance toexpress one's opinion. The ultimate
approval is given by the Chief Executive. Policies areformulated in the

50 | P a g e Internship Report
various meetings as outlined below.Regular meetings are organized at
each level of the organization to keep the company moving in a
systematic manner. The main objective behind these meetings is to
bringforth the employees at a forum, where they can discuss their
problems, give suggestionsfor improvement and development. Also
they can share their experiences with each other.Some meetings are
held at periodic basis which are necessary to keep a check on the
a tough task of managing the people and making them adapt to the
culture the Nestlteam wants to incorporate in the company. No
formal data could be obtained on the managerial style for managers at
Nestl Milkpak, the following detail rests on my personal
observation.The relation observed by me, of the managers at different
levels with their sub ordinateswas that of an "open-door policy". The
key to success in managing a diverse work groups encouraging open,
two way communication. The employees of a particular department
and the organization as a whole knew that not only are they valued,
but their opinion is also welcome. The more they feel that their input
is valued, the greater the sense of ownership they'll have in their
department's mission..Therefore, it can be said that a "democratic
style" of leadership was observed at the organization. This style
describes a leader who tends to involve sub ordinates in decision
making, delegates authority, encourages participation in deciding
work methods and goals, and uses feedback as an opportunity for
coaching. The use of feedback was a very important element observed
by me during my training. Being an internee, I was also asked by one
of my department heads to give a feedback stating the good and bad
points of the employees I was working with including the
Inchargehimself.Such elements, go a long way in the success of a
large scale and diverse organization like Nestl Milkpak Limited and
the appropriate management style is mandatory in the achievement of
targets for the company. Managerial policy guidelines are made in
consultation with the senior executives of the company. "A Policy and
Procedure Forum" is held for the line managers who areresponsible to
implement the policies approved in their respective departments. If
anychanges are made regarding the policies or procedures, it is the
responsibility of theHuman Resources Manager to convey the change
to the line managers. Apart from the policies, the managerial styles
vary from person to person

CHAPETR 7(LEARNING)

(7.1) KEY LEARNING:

During my training session I learnt that Nestl organization is well organized


and having structure of working in line, job description and well experienced
employees.
Employees are living on HR base standards to meet a society of developed
country.
Here I learn the importance of Microsoft excel and SAP (systems applications
process) a data processing system in cooperate sector. Learn how to deal with
people and how to take work from them.
Also observe the office environment and learn many things like be punctual,
respect others ,done all given tasks in a given time period, make daily or weekly
objectives, have ability to work also out of your scope and be honest with your
duties.

(7.2) PERSONAL LEARNING

Personal learning is a moral and ethical obligation set by a person to


move in a smooth way to present and future.During the internship I
realized following duties.

Cohesiveness
Ever Ready For Challenges
Broad vision
Learning From Cradle To Grave
Always Create Opportunities
Open Communication With The Boss
Appearance

COHESIVENESS

A team player can achieve more than an individual. Good coordination


and cooperation with peers and other staff members can impulse a
person to perform better in difficult situations. Duringmy internship I
52 | P a g e Internship Report
noticed that the degree of cohesiveness among the nestle employees is
high, that iswhy nestle is achieving its target quite efficiently
.
EVER READY FOR CHALLENGE

If a person can handle problems and challenge adequately, he can


grow especially inmarketing field where every thing is presently
dynamic.

BROAD VISION

THINK BIG
Think positively to avoid any kind of discrepancy and hurdle in your
task. Positive thinkingand broad vision helps you to achieve some
thing different and new.
LEARNING FORM CRADLE TO GRAVE
Latest researches and journals can be very helpful in order to
generate new ideas.At nestle, Sales department offers many new
courses to the employees to upgrade their knowledge.

ALWAYS CREATE OPPORTUNITIES

Dont wait for opportunities always create opportunities


Time & Tide Waite for None
If you are able to create opportunities, success is yours. Now the
question is how?The answer is very simple, by generating new and
useful ideas for the organization.

OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR BOSS

To avoid any kind of misunderstanding with your boss, communicate


freely with him. During my internship I analyzed that;
People dont leave the organizations they leave their bosses
So be friendly with your staff and boss and communicate freely to
avoid organizational switching.

APPEARANCE

Treat your self as a productAttractive appearance can be very useful to


impress others. A professional should be dressedup properly to influence
others

53 | P a g e Internship Report
(7.3) PROFESIONAL LEARNING

My supervisor, AMIR SB , was so great during my internship. He gave


me tasks to work on and trusted me enough to complete them in a
timely manner without having to micromanage me. MY internship has
helped me figure out what type of management style I would like to
adopt for myself in the future. It was really refreshing being in a
professional environment where my supervisor was cool enough to
trust me to do the tasks laid out for me, without having to breathe
down my neck to make sure I was doing them. I had a lot of freedom
and it felt really nice.

Completing my internship NESTLE has helped me by showing me how


I act when put in a professional environment. I have a great work
ethic and it was nice to put that to use. It also helped me by
confirming that a management position would be great for me, since
its been so hard for me to choose what Im really interested in doing
for a career.. Ive always had a general idea of the area I want to go
into, but never specifically what I would excel at. Now that Ive gotten
the amazing opportunity to test out all of the skills Ive learned while
being in school, the idea of being a manager has proved itself to be a
great idea for me. Im organized, my ideas are well thought out, and
Im now confident that I would be a good candidate for any Financ
position in industry.

The internship program at NESTLE has also been such a wonderful


experience. I was always informed of what was expected from me
throughout the process, and was never kept in the dark about when or
what assignments were due. Both the internship coordinators at
NESTLE and my internship supervisors have helped make this
experience relaxed, insightful, and an all around great experience to
prepare me for my future in the music industry

54 | P a g e Internship Report
CHAPTER 8(RECOMMENDATIONS)

(8.1) RECCOMENDATIONS FOR NESTLE

Following recommendations are based on my observation during my tenure of


internshipat the organization and others have been given after talking to people
over there and after several discussions to my mates from IBIT.

Basically we were Finance Internee and spent our most of time in


finance section, but I am thankful to Mr.Amir because of him we made
several visits to Marketing division. I found that people working in the
finance divisions are bit depressed about there career ladder and their
promotional incentives. Although generally the employee satisfaction
was observed to be at a higher level in both the Finance and Marketing
and Sales Division. Still people at marketing are more well off than
people working in finance department.

Finance department is ok as far as employee turnover is concerned,


marketing is goodas well, just as I have mentioned that employee
satisfaction is higher at marketing side. The problem I found was the
human resource coordinator dontwant to talk to anyone whom he has
hired or recommended to be hired. To me the HR should is responsible
for not just hiring them but keep a close eye on the working of
employees, their satisfaction, their problems and about their every
requirement. Thereshould be a close feedback mechanism for seeking
what the employee is thinking.I have talked to almost all of the brand
managers, to my surprise they are just targeting the A class consumer.
And they are not thinking of lower classes. I wonder why? My suggestion
is to target B, C and D classes. By this I mean that they should inject
this thinking in product design phase not just in marketing planning
phase. You can earn more by increasing volumes and turnover

Nestls products are accepted all over the world, but it doesnt mean
that there is no threat of extinction; well most of the products which are
launched in Pakistan are in the same form as in any European country.
I mean to say that there is lack of research on part of people who make
feasibility study for launching a product. One example of such products
is Maggi Noodles, the product is doing very badly in market, and it is
anticipated that the plant might will be complete in year or two. Another
example is of Fruit yogurt, although the Nestl brand has attracted
initial boost for the product, still the response from the repeat buyers is
very bad, that is there are mostly one time buyers for this particular
product. Well the Nestl says that it has targeted children with this
product,one should come up with that why would a child should opt for
Yogurt if he can get WallsIce cream from Unilever?

55 | P a g e Internship Report
Nestl has launched products which are under the same product
category and thuscreating competition among themselves. Like Frost,
values added fruit juices and PureLife.

Although the employees in Finance and Marketing department are quite


satisfied with the work environment, the problem is in their financial
incentives. Along with their monetary compensation for good
performance there should be a continuous raise in basic pay so that
they feel more attracted towards their job. I suggest the incentive wage
system for the marketing people so that they hit targets more regularly
then they are doing now. Employees should be trained according to
the changing standards of the organization.

Company should conduct survey from time to time to according to which


changes can be introduced in the organization to stay updated in the
market.
They should introduce creativity into the work, so that the employees can
do their work active mindedly.

Employees should be given compensation in order to keep them loyal.

Employees should be more involved in decision making to become more


differentiated.

Company should provide incentives to shop keepers.

More effort needs to be put in to capture a greater share of the milk


market in Pakistan.The ratio of processed milk to the whole milk market
is extremely low. The existing system of milk collection and the services
being provided to farmers should be expandedto build the market share
in the milk market

Prices of dairy products, I admit that there is very little room for
improvement but still it can be lowered down. Pakistan is a market of 20
billion liters in which only 3 billion liters is covered by all companies
providing tetra pack milk (Nestl covers 60-70 %). So we should improve
our markets, in such a way that we can cover our reduced profits by
increasing our volume

56 | P a g e Internship Report
(8.2) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IBIT

The method of teaching is more practical based rather than theoretical.


By doing this students gain more and more practical knowledge of
business and IT world. Students learn more easily from practical
approach and it is long lasting knowledge.

Hire more good faculty of IT so that students attract towards IT.As BBIT
is the combination of business and IT so both are equally important for
the department but there are just few teachers of IT which teach all
courses. So by hiring new It teachers raises the standard of our
department in IT.

Also hire more permanent faculty in department. Permanent faculty


increases the worth of department and teaching standard as permanent
faculty is well aware of the department and all the students so they
understand the students more rather than visiting faculty. So there is
more permanent faculty.

IBIT must make better links with companies, as most of the students
couldnt find internship by themselves and even if they found, they were
not well reputed companies.

It must advertise their institute and should struggle to make it a brand

IBIT must have better relation with their alumni so that they can help
students in their careers.

It must have diversity in its faculty as one batch is taught by the same
teacher almost in every second semester.

It must encourage its students to participate in extracurricular activities


like in intra-universities competition.

The evaluation system of teachers must be taken seriously as teachers


know that no one will bother about it.

57 | P a g e Internship Report
(8.3) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTITUTE (NEXT INTERNSHIP
IN ORGANIZATION)

I recommend this organization for the next upcoming internees on following


reasons:

Very friendly learning and competitive atmosphere of organization. By


working in this organization I feel so good and learn so many things of
business and practical world which are so fruitful for me and also to
upcoming internees in this organization. So this is very good organization
for internship.

All employees are so cooperative and ready to tell everything about their
work. Doing work in NESTLE is really a good experience as all employees
are always ready to answer all your questions frequently and give you
more and more work so that you can handle all this. So this is good for
upcoming internees there as they clear all their ambiguities.

In these organizations different small tasks or assignments are given to


group of internees so that they can themselves solve it and present it in
front of top management. By doing this confidence and courageness
increases in the students and they start believing on them that they can
do good in business worlds it is another very good thing for the upcoming
internees.

58 | P a g e Internship Report
CONCLUSION

Last of all I must THANK IBIT once again for providing me the golden
opportunity of spending 9 weeks in such a wonderful place where most people
can only dream of. I have talked to almost all of my class fellows about their
internship experiences and I have concluded that I am most fortunate to be at
Nestl.It was an experience of life time. For the first time I got the chance for
applying what Ihave learned over the years. I got the chance of sitting among
the ideal sort of people, professionals whose names are engraved as pioneers
and geniuses of the field. This internship program is the SPIRIT of all the
courses at IBIT. I learned about meeting and dealing with people. Working in a
group is itself a very thrilling experience because it makes you feel more
important. I learned here will definitely will be significant improvement in my
future professional life.I end my report here by again thanking Allah Almighty
who gave ability to complete this tedious task and all other people who have
helped me in this venture.
