History:
Haleeb Foods Ltd. was incorporated on July 1st,
1984 with a
capital of Rs. 46 Million under the name of Chaudhry Dairies Limited which was

renamed as CDL Foods Limited and now it is known to be as Haleeb Foods Limited.

At that time it had the capacity of producing 80,000 / liters of milk per day having

total area of 32 acres. Initially 150 people were employed at the plant. The production

process started with UHT liquid milk. The liquid milk was the first product launched

in the market, it started its operation in 1985 at that time 20 other dairy plants were

also coming in, and all those including MILKPAK were using obsolete technology

that was used in EUROPE. Haleeb Plant was the only plant based on the latest

technology and the basic idea behind that were particularly dairy foods products.

Haleeb is one brand that is toady known everywhere.

From November 1989 till December 1991 Haleeb had a joint venture with fries

land Frico Domo of Netherlands. This joint was amicably dissolved on account

of FFD's change in
management in their global strategy. Today as an ISO 9002 certified company, Haleeb is the

dominant market leader of UHT milk in Pakistan by capturing 52 % share.

Franchise agreement with Canada, a market leader in the liquid milk market in France, was

assigned in December 1998. Under this arrangement, the company launched Candia range

of value added liquid milk product and also have assess to latest production, technical

and marketing know how. Initially company launched different products but some

of them could not become successful. As the company's core concern is quality

eventually company abandoned products that were not according to the market

needs. In 2002 the company contributed 54% to the country 's packed milk market.

Haleeb Foods was established in 1986 as a private limited company and its first
product was Haleeb milk. Since then, it has continued to provide quality
products to its consumers with product and packaging innovations. Other
products and their dates of launch are as follows

Pest Analysis:

P O L I T I C A L C O N D I T I O N S : The political conditions are not very stable in the country,

but this does not directly influence the trends and spending patterns of the customers. There are

no restrictions or barriers on the growth of this industry. So the political conditions are

favorable fir this market because food and dairy chain products are consumer goods and they

have to purchase it in any condition.

ECONOMICAL CONDITIONS:

The economical conditions are not very favorable and the economy is facing problems, but it
is nit directly influencing buying power of consumers. If the country is out of its current
problems, it will further boost up growth of this industry, as people will feel more secure
economically and it will further increase the attractiveness of the market.

SOCIAL CONDITIONS:

The social patterns are changing in the country, as the world is becoming a global village, and mutually
share and accept patterns. People are becoming more attractive towards the branded

products. It is becoming fashion and young generations as well as the children are getting more
attracted towards this industry. People are moving towards branded food / dairy products due to

hygienic reason.

TECHNOLOGICAL CONDITIONS:

High technology is the basic requirement of dairy and food industry. The companies that
are using latest technology have some cost benefits over the companies, which are not
using high technology. The key to survival for companies in this industry is using high
technology for quality and cost purposes.

Untapped market and

Demand of juices are the
high opportunity for Haleeb
and probability of
occurrence is also very high
so Haleeb juices sales can
increases if it target the all
market and demand is
increase in market day by
day and Haleeb
also increase the demand and awareness of juices in market by best
advertisement.

Concentric diversification is not the high opportunity but probability and

occurrence is high because the Haleeb can increase sale by little change in the flavor
of juices.
 Backward integration is the high opportunity foe Haleeb but probability of
occurrence is low because it very difficult foe Haleeb to make its juices plump itself
because Haleeb import the high quality of plump from different countries which it
can’t prepare due to lack of technology.

To become multinational is very difficult because Nestle is the biggest competitor

of Haleeb and Nestle is already a multinational company. In Pakistan Haleeb face
competition only due to nestle so it is very difficult for Haleeb to compete the Nestle
at international level.

Haleeb face strong competition in market of juices, for Good day nestle juices are big
threat and for other all juices like funday and tropico shahzan, Maza and
country juices are big threat. Nestle is the big and strong competitor because Nestle is
an international company and people mostly know about international company due
to good quality.

There is not any huge difference in prices of different juices of the company so
customer can any time select juice of different company which is threat for Haleeb
Food Company.

The government of Pakistan changes the policies of tax on different commodities,

Imported tin juices are great threat for Haleeb juices especially for Good day because
Haleeb offer good day in market with high quality and tin juices also focus on quality
so there are competitor for each other.

Haleeb import plump of all juices from different countries Germany and France,
Haleeb paid high custom duties on plump, so increase in custom duty can increase
the cost of juices due to which prices of all juices increase which is not good for the
company.

In the CPM the industry average take as 3.50, so the Nestle performing is
the best as compared to their competitors in juices.

Haleeb lunched its juices two years ago but their performance is good
and it is in second number in field of juices due to their pure and nectar
juices with high quality and reasonable prices.

Shahzan only deal in nectar juices and target the lower income group of
people and it all sale is due to customer loyalty.

From all the above data we find out that there is a lot
of demand for Haleeb juices but they are spending
low as per requirement . As far as promotional
activities are concerned they have introduced many
product as concentric and conglomerate
diversification but when we talk about Haleeb to a
common person he knows that they are offereing just
milk at market place , he does not know that they
have introduced other products like juices , ghee, rita ,
powder milk etc.

So in order to remain competitive at market place

they have to focus extensive marketing campaigns so
that they can capture potential customer. In order to
attain and retain the existing customer they have to
offer discounts , occasional offers etc.

C.RESPONSIBILITIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION

• Create the effectiveness of the personnel to focus on

critical aspects of their job.
Other remedies to enhance implementation includes

1. Organizational Design Organizational design should consist

of multifunctional teams,
including at least 1 member of each department to solve the problem
or to achieve the targets.

2. Incentives Various rewards may help achieve successful

implementation.
For Example in case of Haleeb juices, bonuses or commission should
be given to members of sales force/personal selling teams who sales
more units of juice packets.

3. Communication Rapid and accurate movement of

information should be
confirmed .To do so efficient and effective feed back systems should
be introduced. For example in case of Haleeb the smooth flow of
information should be confirmed from a single member of sales
force / distributors up to the brand manager and vice versa.

D.TIME AND LOCATION OF IMPLEMENTATION Proper

time period should be given for the start and end of the task and
each personnel related to that specific job should be given complete
information about the geographic area of his/her sales and the
volume to be sold in case o personal selling and sale promotion.(the
balanced score board technique may be adopted)

They get comprehensive information from all the departments
carefully and its analysis is conducted with great care . The results are
analyzed with great emphasis on the company’s behalf. If there
appears any deficit then revise their strategies implement them and
then get the results and if there are no loopholes found they continue
to implement that strategy for the specified period of time. This
evaluation conduct twice a year.

CURRENT COMPETITIVE POSITION

Haleeb competitive position is quite superior to other competitors.

haleeb is having the major threat of local brands because they are
prospering day by day in the market is the major competitor in the
market for Bata because they took advantage from Haleeb’s strategies
rather than using their own strategies. The relative market share of
Haleeb is 18.3%, MAZA is4.17%, Shezan 12.5% and the local
competitors are having relatively larger share than the other
competitors which is 50%.

WHAT SHOULD COMPETITIVE POSITION BE IN 3 YEARS

TIME?

In the next three years Haleeb competitive position should be stronger,

company seems to have more quality features and better products.
There will be more improvement in current products but company is
also willing to enter in some new projects. They should go for more
innovations and fashionable products must be introduced in
ladies.They must increase their relative market share with aggressive
sales and promotion. More advertising campaigns should be made to
augment it in the coming three years.

WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS – IN TERMS

OF OUR EXISTING AND POTENTIAL NEW PRODUCTS AND
MARKETS? THAT IS, HOW WILL WE GROW THE
BUSINESS?

; Haleeb should introduce more innovative products in the market to

increase its demand. Those innovations must be according to the
customer’s demands and their preferences.

; Whenever Bata open its new distribution centre Servis take

advantage from its strategies and open a store in front of their
store, Haleeb should take steps to overcome this threat.

Page
 ; Bata should gain the sustainable competitive advantage.

; Most of Bata’s wholesales were in the northern areas, when earth

quake came it suddenly fall down. Bata should wind up wholesale
from northern areas and should shift it towards the cities of
Rawalpindi, Lahore and Hyderabad because more footwear units
are located in these cities.

Conclusion

Haleeb Foods is well establish company which is competing with

multinational companies and has 70% market share in dairy industries
which makes it market leader. The Haleeb Foods are trying their best to
properly perform their operations. They are following international
standards like ISO standerds and are using different tools to continuously
improve their operations. They are introduced new technology in their
production process first time in Pakistan. They are providing quality
products. There human recourse policies are also good. The locations which
they have selected for their operations are beneficial for the collection of
milk and distribution. There layout helps to facilitate their employees, flow
of information and operations. But there are some short falls which they
must overcome.

The HFL Company has a very rich history and spread over the world, the
study in this report specially the particular SPACE matrix tells us that HLF
Company should pursue an aggressive strategy. HLF Company has a strong
competitive position in the market with rapid growth. It needs to use its
internal strengths to develop a market penetration and market
development strategy. This includes focus on Water and Juices products,
and catering to health consciousness of people through introduction of
different coke flavor and maintaining basic coke flavor. Further company
should integrate with other companies, acquisition of potential competitor

Page
80
businesses, innovation in branding and aggressive marketing strategy can
bring long term profitability.

As a whole HFL is a good organization to work in but there are certain departments that need

improvements. It is surviving in the FMCG’s sector with some strengths and weaknesses. I am of the

view that if the management of HFL wants to show the same results in the future that it should have to

take some decisions before time, because in the 21st century only those organizations can survive who

are utilizing all their resources efficiently and effectively.

Recommendations: Page
81
 Haleeb Foods Limited should also allocate a healthy budget for the advertising of

its products.

•HR Department of HFL should introduce HRIS to increase the efficiency of the

company.

•The co-operation among the different departments of HFL should also improve it

will lessen the bureaucratic cost and increase the efficiency of the company.

The activities like customer satisfaction day should be performed on regular basis so

the company should know about the feedback of the customers regarding the

products and image of the company.

The shopkeeper complains that HFL don’t provide replacement to

the expired products so they should provide proper replacements to

the shopkeepers to enhance the image of the company.

Haleeb Foods Limited should improve its distribution

system specially the retailers are not happy with distribution

of Haleeb Milk.

They should use latest technology for quality maintenance because even now they
are using manual based inspection.

They should try to maintain high quality which they are already producing.

They should use Automated Storage and Retrieval System to minimize the storage
cost.

They should implement on Computer Integrated Manufacturing to be the ware

housing and shipping department computed aided.

They should use vision system in inspection.

Accommodation should be provided to the employees.
