formula saved the child's life and soon, FarineLacte was being sold in much of
Europe. After the major invention in 1874, Jules Monnerat purchased Nestle and
collectively they launched the condensed milk. In 1905 Nestle merged with
Anglo-Swiss which was an condensed milk company. Soon after

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,

concept of getting the hurdles attached with these resolved under one
umbrella.

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.
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.
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.

different kinds of taxes

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

CHAPTER 5(FINANCIAL ANALYSIS)
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
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
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
ECONOMIC
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.

and standing instructions and do all this and more while ensuring that the
core function of the department, that is to fulfill the companys demand for
fresh milk is not impaired in the process.
Human resource:
In February 2007 Nestl Pakistan took the bold initiative to import 100 exotic
cows from Australia which set the trend for a new phase of dairy development
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.

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.

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

CHAPTER 8(RECOMMENDATIONS)
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.
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

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