INTRODUCTION
India with a population of more the 100 crores is potentially one of the largest consumer market in the world. With urbanization and development of economy, tastes and interests of the people changes according to the advance nation. Marketing is about winning this new environment. It is about understanding what consumers wants a supplying its more efficiently and more conveniently . The consumer market may be identified as the market for product and services that are purchased by individuals as household for their personal consumption. Soft drinks is a typical consumer product purchased by individual primarily quench their thirst and also for refreshment. Different types of soft drinks are available in the market and more or less content of all soft drinks is same. The market of soft drink is facing a cutthroat competition and many companies are floating in the market with their products with different brand names. In such a situation different factors which influence the people choice for soft drinks are taste, quality, images, easy availability and the product cost of advertisement. The Govt. of India has considered the soft drinks industry as ``Non essential As a result the excise duty levied by govt. on better soft drinks is very high. Thus in a country like India where more than 50% of the total population exists below poverty line, the consumer cannot afford such high price for soft drinks. As a result the trading activities of the soft drinks industry are concentrated in and around big cities and town where the purchasing power of population is considered comparatively high.
Soft drinks Industries in India has an annual sale of about 4000crores, with per capita consumption of soft drinks at a low of seven bottle per annum (even Pakistan has a per capita consumption of 14; in China and U.S.A. is more than 800 bottles) is due to price factor. So, marketing is both philosophy and technology. It is technology because it suggests ways and means for effective production and distribution of goods and services in the market to give maximum satisfaction to the consumer. The marketing manager is responsible for both determining and suitability of goods and services in the market to give maximum satisfaction to the consumer. The marketing manager is responsible for both determining and suitability of goods and services presented by the company to the market, and also determining about potential market and make better relation with retailer. In this regard the marketing management with have to apply to marketing technology in the conceptual philosophy of a system. It is the process of system analysis in the marketing management for effective research and can be defined, Systematic objective and exhaustive study of tasks relevant to any problem in the field of marketing.

IMPORTANCE & RELEVANCE OT THE STUDY

The three weeks Summer Training is very important for a student of BBA This type of study gives some practical knowledge to BBA students and practical knowledge is more useful than theoretical knowledge for any one. There is no certain formula for any particular problem but the aim of this study is to develop the ability of decision making.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The market survey was conducted on a study of retails outlets and their Sales & Distribution System for Pepsi in Lumbini Beverages Pvt Ltd at Patna. This study was done in Lumbini Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Hajipur. The geographical slope of my survey was limited to Patna only. Study aims at relationship between Company Executives and retailer and why any retailer sold particular brand only. The survey covers a wide range of activities and factors, which influence the retailer to sell the Pepsi Product . The samples of 105 respondents were taken to represent total retailers of Patna Zone.

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
Although all efforts have been made to study all start of population as compared to the topic of study, universe size & sample size findings of study will be considered only on the Urban Area and will be applied in Patna only because of Retailers perception and expectation varies in other place due to socio-economic and educational background. At last but not the least the study will try to find out the real depth of the actual position as far as possible.
The survey suffers from following limitation :1. Since the product under study was a consumer goods which requires a large sample to have a correct study, a sample size of 105 Respondents was too small for it. But time & money did not allow Researcher to have a large sample. And also to manage a large sample would also be difficult by Researcher alone.
2. Duration of study also limited for further intensive study. 3. Mostly stress was given on primary data, as it was difficult to collect Secondary data from organization & distributors. 4. The sample selected is not purely random sample but it is convenient so that the result of the survey dont have any high degree if statistical significance.
5. The result of survey are based upon crucial assumption like-
(a) The respondents know right answer to the question put to them. (b) They are wiling to give the right answer. (c) Strictly based on the responses of the Retailers. (d) Difficult to ascertain the authenticity of their statement. 6. It is very difficult to influence and get right answer from old mentality Retailers. 7. Region i.e., Urban area therefore the result are applicable to Patna region only These findings may not have much relevance in other regions of different from rest of the country. 8. All the conclusions, suggestions & recommendations will be made in the feed back obtained from survey on the basis of responses given by the respondents.

As an MNC, On the globe, Pepsi Foods Ltd is one of the largest soft drink companies in the world with its head quarters in New York. Pepsi entered the Indian soft drink marker in 1988 and began its production in May 1990 and soon it was giving the local contenders the run for their money in the soft drink market. It comes out with dazzling marketing innovation that rocket the cola market line selling the product through function, Pepsi outlets. Pepsis success in creating a brand almost from scratch in India is the stuff that marketing case studies are made of. Given the problems of doing business in markets like ours, Pepsi entered the market as an under-dog. Its first even advantage- it entered before Coke returned-was considerable reduced by the enormous export obligations stepped on the company. Yet right from the beginning, Pepsi demonstrated a far more focused approached .So while it entered the market like any other MNC, it was quick to adapt, It realized that consumers, particularly the youth, to whom it consciously reached out, would identify better with a brand that they se as global, yet Indian, Pepsi was built as a desi brand. Hence its deliberate attempt to build ad campaigns using the popular Hinglish In the process, slogans like, Y EHI HAI RIGHT CHOICE BABY and Y EH DIL MAANGE MORE AHA became part of Indias popular consciousness. When Pepsi lost the bidding battle to sponsor a Cricket tournament to coke, the loss was turned into triumph with the catch line, Nothing official about it. It cashed in on the untapped consumer aspiration in smaller towns, the hinterlands of
metropolitan cities and now a days the slogan which is on air is Y EH PYAAS HAI BADI
It showed a rare ability not only to survive, but also grow through Indias tortuous policy twists and turns, which threw many other MNCs off balance. Its top management team did not suffer from the frequent changes seen at rival, Coke Consequently, it was able to Unlike coke, which paid enormous prices to buy out established local brands, Pepsi brought its own stuff over, and pushed those aggressively with dealers, retailers and consumers. Right now, it can bark its outstanding success in building a brand that has become synonymous with soft drinks across the length and breadth of the country.
HISTORY OF SOFT DRINK IN BIHAR
The soft drink market in India is quite wide. The production of soft drinks was started on 27 t h March 1967 with the installation of Coca-Cola bottling plant at Jamshedpur under the suspicious guidance of late industrialist Mr. Dharam Chand Kamani, Named as Steel City Beverage Ltd. In 1977 with the advent of Janta party Govt. it created trouble for Coca cola which led to the withdrawal of its operation from India. After the withdrawal of Coca-cola from India, the Parle monopolized the soft drink market in Bihar and took a lions share of the projects from the industry that even after McDowells pure drinks and local drinks entered into the market, they would not compete with Parle, Once again with the liberalization of economy in 1991 Pepsi Food Ltd. Entered in the Indian market.

The products are all PEPSI soft drinks, like Pepsi, 7up, Mirinda (Orange and Lemon), Slice, Mountain Dew and Soda (Everest and Team). The Factory came into operation in 14 t h April 1998. 1. W ATER :
TREATMENT
Water treatment is very important in soft drinks plant as the nature and quality of water varies from place to place. To set uniform and standard water the process of treatment is carried on. The water taken out from boring well by the help of motor pump and chlorinated by chlorinates and then by the help of pipelines comes to treatment tank called Coagulation Tank where to this water solution of different strength of added through dosing pump to reduce alkalinity, hardness, kill the bacterias. The chemicals are mixed by settle down as sludge and clear water passes to Retention Tank. From This tank the water passes through sand filter containing fine sand and pebbles and carbon filter containing granular carbon and finally through water polisher, micron filter, UV Lamp to ensure clear and Sanitary Water for use.
Further water used in bottle washer and boiler needs softening. For this purpose, the water from storage Tank, after passing through two filter belts containing fine sand and granular carbon respectively comes to pass through a belt of Resin and bottle washer to reduce scale formation inside the machines. 2. S YRUP M AKING : For syrup making of particular brand, calculated quantity of sugar, water activated carbon and high-flown super cell known as filter Aid are taken into a sugar space to enter steam and also filtered by a motor with agitator, Sugar syrup called Raw-Syrup is prepared by dissolving the sugar with continuous stirring and heating by steam supplied by oil fired boiler. This hot syrup by the help of a pump is filtered through a filter press attached with a serious of quality filter paper to separate out carbon particles. Clear hot syrup by the help of SS pipelines passes through water P.H.E. circulated by glycol for further cooling. The chilled syrup comes to a Mixing tank, which is quantity of Bricks Hydrometer, concentrate is added and to the mixed thoroughly by a mechanical stirrer filter to the rank. This mainly, the liquid part are kept in a cold store, the temperature if finished syrup room is also maintained Air-conditioner. All the containers used for syrup making are cleaned and sanitized by Soda-bi-Carbonate, strong chlorine solution and not caustic soda solution.
3. BOTTLE WASHING : Bottle Washing is an important part in soft drink plan. The empty durable and returnable bottles used are returned from market in plastic carats are fed to a bottle washing machine (washer). The machine has double end system with circular chain to carry the bottles Caustic Soda, Tri sodium Phosphate, Sodium-Gluconate are added to the caustic Tank filled in with water heated by steam supplied by the boiler. The empty bottles enter to the Hot Caustic Tank in one end and after being cleaned by caustic solution and finally washed with water through spray jets filter are discharged in other end. The washed bottles after proper inspection are SU 319 & SU 853 are sued for conveyor cleaning and smooth running of chain carrying bottles. SU 260 & SU 773 is used for bottle cleaning shining and mold removing. 4. FILLING : Finished syrup and treated water lime are connected to a dosing pump which mixes syrup and water with ratio of 1:5 and the syrup mixed with water enter to Carbonate tank to mix with Carbon-Dioxide gas. Which are preserved in cylinders for use. The cylinders are connected through CO manifold to tank to use requisite quantity of gas. To control CO pressure and temperature of liquid, we used recording control (Yaylor). The syrup passed through a PHE, which is called itself by circulation of chilled glycol supplied chilling compressor.
To run the machine for chilling F-22 gas used. The syrup being chilled easily mixes with CO gas and enters to filter for bottling. The lift cylinder functioned by pressure of air supplied by an air compressor. The syrup known as Beverages in this stage is filled in the cleaned bottles, which are durable in nature and returnable by, buyer by filling machine (Filter ) by a counter pressure of carbon-dioxide gas. After beverages is filled in bottles if goes to the crowner where with the help of a crown corks the bottles are sealed (crowned) to project the carbonation, flavor, outside contamination and spoilage. The finished products are coded by a coding machine and inspected properly by inspection light while passing through the conveyor fitted with SS chains. The empty plastic carats passing through a conveyor enters to carat washer machine and it is washed and mover through the conveyor where finished products are accumulated. 5. TESTING OF PRODUCT : Finally the finished syrup during bottling is tested in laboratory to meet the parameters and also to get standard and quality products. To maintain the standard and uniformity in products the sugar contents and carbonation in the filled bottle are checked in regular intervals by certified by bricks hydrometers, refractor meters & pressure gas. The dead weight tester is needed calculate pressure gas to know meter. Electronic Digital Balance is used to weight chemical to conduct test in lab. A CO purity tester checks the purity of CO.
The microbiology test of the products and water used in syrup making and production are also done to ensure that the product is free from any bacteriological contamination. To conduct the micro test, hot sterilizer, incubator, autoclave, pads filter membranes media are produced and used. The diesel generator is operated in case of electricity failure for smooth operation of plant. To drawn electricity for the State Electricity Board the transformer used. Furnace Oil/Diesel Oil is used in boiler for generation steam.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL OF LUMBINI BEERAGE PVT. LTD. To make its products available at the right place, at the right time in the market, at the right place, the sales department of the company plays major attention towards controlling the channel of distribution. The company right from its beginning stage maintains single type of marketing channel. The nature of channel is as follows: COMPANY DISTRIBUTORS RETAILERS CONSUMERS
I.
ABOUT DISTRIBUTORS:-
At first, soft drink is supplied to distributors. Retailers cannot take the delivery directly from the company. They have to take it from their respective of nearest distributors. The distributors selected on the basis of assurance given by them regarding minimum sales, which they have mention annually. The selection is also done on the financial position and reputation of distributing in the market. As for the example, first priority is given to those people who are in cigarette business. Depending upon market each distributor in its initial
stage, deposit some security money. This amount varies between five thousand to ten thousand. The distributors at first have to seek the permission to the sales department for the number of cases of soft drinks required by them. After getting for the proper authority from the sales department, they take the delivery from the shipping department paying the requisite either in cash or as demand draft. The distributors can be dropped if they fail to achieve the required target of sales. They can be also droped when they dont follow the instructions given by the company or when they charge high price or when they are engaged in black marketing, loading etc. But the company has not dropped any of its distributors till now. The supply of soft drinks to the distributors depends upon the ups and downs in the sales. But, in the initial stages, the distributors have to sell up to a minimum target set by the company or as decided by an agreement between the company and the distributors. In the last stages soft drink is supplied as and when demanded by the distributors.
II.
ABOUT RETAILERS:-
The distributors select the retailers. There is no relation between the company and its retailers. On the other hand there is no definite and fixed criteria from the selection for appointment of retailers from the side of distributors. Any one like Panwala, Cigarette shop or any other shopkeeper can have the stall for the sale of soft drinks and they are called retailers or dealers. They have to give assurance to the concerning distributors for better sales and at the time of taking delivery they have to deposit the security that is the change for the empty bottles with specified purchasing price. Generally, there is no compulsion on that part of distributors to provide the transportation facilities to their retailers, but the distributors of the big areas like Patna, Muzzaffarpur, Patna provide the transportation facilities to their respective retailers. The distributors and
retailers are independent to sell as they want but are controlled to some extent by the company also, as they have to give some assurance regarding minimum sale. It happens so because they are given some incentives also. They are fully independent to gear up the market, as they want.

Customer retention customer satisfaction after sales service is satisfaction. Product quality is maintained. Distribution is effective. Promotional activities are satisfactory. In the Organization capable leaders (heads) & dedicated employees are there. Production house in well built.Still the company has not fault by there are many problems in dealers. Lacking of communication with retailer. Always break down in Pepsi Van by which Pepsi are distributed to retailers. It hampers in sale day-by-day. Timing of distribution is not logistic. Lack of efficiency, enthusiasion in salesman. Distribution of cooling equipment is not properly distributed.. Due to specific taste, Pepsi is lagging behind its nearest competitor brand Thums Up.
CHAPTER 7
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSION SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSION
1. The majority of retailers deal in all the brand of Pepsi & Coke.
2. The study reveals that the market share of Pepsi in Patna is 41.76% as compared to Coca Cola is 58.24% thus Pepsi having a Clear edge over Coca Cola. 3. The study reveals the immediate steps are not taken in the replacement of damaged or breakage goods. The rival company Coca-Cola is very quick in this area. And efficient also. 4. Number of route vehicles for delivery of goods is less than the required one for proper coverage of whole area of Patna. Thus just in time and efficient delivery is affected. 5. The demand of Coke exceeds the demand of Pepsi. 6. The Lumbini Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Pays attention in different marketing function also these are : a) Anticipating & recognition of demand b) Stimulation of demand. c) Satisfaction of demand. 7. Company at certain interval conduct market survey to evaluate demand trend. Consumption pattern & nature of growing competition in spite of the fact that soft drinks has already high & almost stable demand. So company undertakes different promotional schemes to enjoy them. I had confirmed my study to different specified direction. As for Lumbini Beverages Pvt. Ltd., It can be said that it does not have any major draw back in marketing activities still more efficient distribution by dealers & more effective sales executives & sales forces are required. Though the over all grip maintenance is satisfactory & company can retain market share & also can upgrade it.
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATION
The above study elicits the fact that sales department of Lumbini Beverages Pvt. LTD. should introduced some changes in its marketing activities to make it more rational. 1 . A healthy relationship should be developed by the company Executive with the retailers. 2. As most of the dealers have complaint that the salesman does not tell them about schemes. For this before launching any scheme company should advertise it by distributing Pamphlets to the dealers mentioning the Period of the scheme & time-to-time Proper check is required.
3. No. of route vehicles for delivery of goods should be increased in number for proper catering in the entire area of Patna effectively & efficiently.
4. Company should make fridge available at maximum outlets and repairing of its misleaders (refrigerators) and glow signboard, which are out of order in an outlet up to the level, thus it is parallel of even better than Competitors. 2. Proper supply of all brand of PEPSI.
3. The commitment of supplying gifts items or incentive or incentive should be carried out on or before the scheduled time. 4. The distribution should keep literate and experienced sales man because they can convince to retailers easily and sold out the product in the market. 5. The company should supply its banners sign board etc. as an advertisement media impartially to all the parties of all areas which will as usual became sales promotion tool for them. 6. Distributor and retail out lets feed back should be taken time to time so as to trace the actual existing problem related to there and the market. 10.Company should develop policy. so that the soft drinks are made available at all the outlets during the peak seasons. 11.Leakage and blasted bottles are per policy of the company are taken back but generally these bottles may of the time are not taken back as a result an inharmonious relation develop between the company and retailers this should be rectified it has adverse effect in the brand of the company.
