TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a part of curriculum we have prepared a report on HAVMOR ICE CREAM LTD for its
sales and channel distribution problems. It becomes necessary for a postgraduate student to
be well versed with both theoretical knowledge and its practical application in real life
situation. This project is an eye opener regarding the actual functioning of different
departments in an organization
Inventory is the most important asset of any manufacturing company. There are various
problems that they have shared with us and also we have identified in their sales and channel
distribution network. Out of these there is a few which we have explained in our project
report.
This report has been written in response to a comprehensive study, conducted on the SALES
AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT of HAVMOR ICE CREAM LTD.. The
report mentions and evaluates the various aspects, pertaining to the distribution channel of the
company. After a thorough analysis of the various facts stand figures, a set of
recommendations has been given at the end of the report
OBJECTIVES
LIMITATIONS
Detail study about all the material was not possible because of time limit
Some of the information was kept confidential by the stories department
Study was confined only to the selected components in the stores department
With India's ice-cream industry growing at close to 17 per cent, regional brands Havmor and
Vadilal have upped the decibel levels and taken their campaigns national this year while
veterans - Amul, Mother Dairy and Kwality Walls among others - are banking on new
flavours and an emerging premium category in urban areas to expand the market.
From Rs 7,300 crore in 2014, the ice-cream category has jumped up to Rs 8,530 crore in
2015, points out a recent Euromonitor analysis. And according to several companies,
volumes have grown about 30 per cent or so in March and April over the same period in the
previous year. A hot summer is expected to push revenues up even further.
GCMMF's (Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation which owns the Amul brand)
managing director R S Sodhi says, "Sales are very good this year, growing at least 30 per cent
month on month as compared to the last season. We are also adding production capacity,
which will be ready within the next two months." Amul had expanded its sticks
manufacturing capacity three-fold last year.
India Ice Cream Market By Type, By Organized Vs. Unorganized Sector, By Category,
Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2011-2021, the ice cream market in India is forecast
to exhibit a CAGR of 17.03% during 2016-2021. Ice cream market in India grew at a
moderate pace over the past few years, on account of increasing number of international ice
cream brands entering the Indian market, improving cold storage facilities, coupled with
changing consumer taste. Moreover, India is the largest producer of milk, as the country
accounts for over 1/5th of global milk production, thereby offering ice cream market in the
country with large volume of raw material for manufacturing of ice creams
The ice cream industry is a highly seasonal industry and bulk of the retail sales take place in
the summer period. In this fragmented industry, there are over 10,000 players. In the
organized segment, Amul is the leading ice cream player and holds close to 32% of the
market share followed by Vadilal Industries. Other large players in the sector include
Hindustan Unilever, Mother Dairy, Havmor and Nestle.
The ice cream market in India is estimated to be over INR 4,000 crores, and is growing at a
rate of 15-20% year-on-year. It is projected that by 2019, the market will reach around INR
6,198 crores
Here are the Top 10 best and most popular ice cream brands in India:
1. Amul
2. Baskin-Robbins
3. Kwality Walls:
4. Mother Dairy
5. Vadilal ice cream:
6. Cream bell ice creams
7. Top n town ice cream:
8. Arun ice cream:
9. Dinshaws ice cream:
10. Nirulas ice cream:
In ice cream industry firms are competing with each other on the basis of product
differentiation by offering its products to masses as well as to premium segment. With ice
cream product, the switching cost of consumer is low. The threat from new players in the
market is high because the manufacturing process is simple and not more costly.
2. Powers of buyers(HIGH)
For ice cream manufacturing companies, the main supply chain members are retailers, who
buy in massive quantities and push the products to endconsumer. There is high power of
channel members and in case of individual consumers power of buyers will also be high as
they can go for different ice cream brands.
3. Power of suppliers(LOW)
Quality is the supreme factor. In India, the agri-business is still not fully developed and is in
developing stage. The concern for dairy producers which is now going for ice cream
manufacturing is very less. So, the power of suppliers is low.
To make the tongue sweeter there are many alternative products like different sweets, Kulfi
and Faludah. Kulfi is a traditional desert which is prepared by using cream and Faludah is
having rice noodle with flavours and are low in price so there is high pressure on ice creams
as consumer can go for substitutes.
There are some big companies in Indian ice cream market with many emerging companies
and new companies trying to come in the Indian market making high competitive rivalry.
Several multinational companies like New Zealands natural ice creams are started serving in
Indian market. There are domestic players also which are emerging in this sector like Nirulas
ice cream in Northern region of India.
After analysing the Indian ice cream market, with the help of the Porter model, it is clear that
the ice cream market has features of monopolistic market.
COMPANY INTRODUCTION
BRIEF HISTORY
Havmor ice-cream began its branded life in 1944 in Karachi, in undivided India. By 1947, it
was a popular brand there.
But in 1947, in the wake of the partition, its founder Satish Chona had to join the exodus into
India, virtually with no moveable assets searching for a new turf; he tried out Dehra Dun and
Indore, and finally, settled down in Ahmedabad. No, it was not a case of brand relocation,
or anything else as fanciful. He had to start the venture from scratch again. In fact, he had to
begin from a hand-cart at the Ahmedabad Railway Station, churning out the Ice Cream
manually. He called this fledgling brand Havmor -- a neologism for Have More --
which meant the customer, got more value for money, and more taste to relish, from his Ice
Creams.
The company, which is now being headed by Ankit Chona, the third generation of the
founding family, plans to spend around Rs 225-250 crore to expand its manufacturing
capacity. A new facility is planned at Faridabad which would cater to northern markets.
Existing plants would also be expanded from a capacity of 2, 50,000 litres per day (lpd) to
350,000 lpd.
Havmor moved to India and set up its base in Ahmedabad. Way back in 1951, it started as a
handcart venture and the company's first shop was set up in 1953.
In 1974, Pradeep Chona joined his father in the business. He introduced the latest technology,
improved hygiene standards and inculcated a corporate business environment at Havmor.
In 2005, his son Ankit Chona joined the family business and under his leadership, the
company has witnessed expansion of business in various states.
Ankit, who holds a Masters degree in Business Administration from Purdue University in
the United States of America (USA), began his career with Panera Bread- an American chain
of bakery-caf fast casual restaurants in the US and Canada.
With a group turnover of Rs 450 crore, Havmor is expanding fast and entering markets
beyond Gujarat. At present, Havmor is available in more than 40,000 outlets across the states
of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Goa and Telangana, Delhi,
Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Havmor has over 160 ice cream varieties under its portfolio apart from running a restaurant
business in Gujarat. At present, the company owns and runs over 20 restaurants, 60 eateries
and more than 40000 ice cream outlets.
VISION
HAVMOR ICE CREAM LTD., as a group will be an outstanding and reputed food company
with an annual turnover exceeding Rs.5 billion in the year 2015. By the year 2020 it is
projected to be amongst the top three Ice cream brands in India with a turnover exceeding
Rs.15 billion.
MISSION
Good, Truthful, Clean Enterprising Ethos Satish Chona, the founder of Havmor, began his
enterprise half a century ago with a simple guideline -- Achhai, Sachhai, Safai (Goodness,
Truthfulness, Cleanliness). The succeeding generations at the helm of the company
translated this axiom into a way of life and business. Only the finest ingredients go into the
making of Havmor Ice Creams. The whole manufacturing process conforms to global
standards of hygiene. And the companys trade practices are kept totally transparent. Based
on new generation technology and in-house R&D, the company keeps formulating new tastes
at frequent intervals, and surprising its consumers. It has also diversified into other food
items, through a high profile Restaurant Chain. Today, six decades later, Satish Chonas
simple philosophy still continues to be the corporate axiom of the Havmor conglomerate.
And the company values its entrepreneurial self-esteem, market image and reputation for
financial uprightness above its pure business interests.
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH:-
Due to development and growth of domestic market and demand for the domestic product is
increasing rapidly. As due to growth in domestic market the product of Havmor Ltd is now
being used up by the connection
SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Havmor is financially sound and has good reputation. It has its parlours at every corner of the
city. It has strong and wide network of dealers.
HEALTHY ENVIORNMENT
Havmor has highly trained staff. It provides maximum satisfaction to the staff that creates a
healthy industrial relation with a good working environment.
WEAKNESS:-
Havmor has a very heavy distribution cost as it has a cold chain network that is very
expensive. It faces transit problem as it has its manufacturing unit in Ahmedabad , where it
manufactures its ice-creams and food stuffs , then it sends it to cold storage and from where it
is dispatched according to the requirement. So this supply chain results in waste of time and
money. Due to this it is not able to make profit as much as it can.
SEASONAL DEMAND
Havmor is famous for its ice-creams which people generally prefer in summers and in snacks
it is famous for chana puri which people would prefer in winters. During off season the
demand is less that hampers the production result in decrease in profit margin. It provides
highest number of flavours and hence it is not possible to cater to all demands at every point
in time.
OPPORTUNITIES:-
HIGH-GROWTH IN SALES:
Havmor has many opportunities to increase its sales and they are adopting new ways and
techniques of advertising and also they have improved the quality of their product. It has
large number of dealers as well as parlours at every 1.5 k.m.
PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION:
Havmor has technology and R&D centre which experiments with new flavours and food.
Like it launched pav bhaji few months back. Havmor doesnt stick to one type of ice-cream it
provides variety in ice-creams like roll-cuts, candies, novelties etc.
THREATS:-
Threats mean a positive danger that indicates us that we have to be cautious of prevailing
market conditions. It helps us to get the know-how about the market.
WIDENING TECHNOLOGY
With the increase in technology the scope for new entrants has become easier so the
competition has become wider. To survive in this competition it is very important to get
something innovative. At this stage threat from complementary goods is also vast.
There is always a threat from complementary goods as well as substitute goods. If the price
of input increases the profit margin may reduce and if the company increases the cost then
consumer may shift their demand to some other brand.

PRODUCTION
Production is carried out under highly qualified line managers observation and it has total 3
stages.
Mix Department
Filling Department
Hardening and Spiral tunnel Department

Filling Department
The difference between Real Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert is presence of Vegetable Oil in
the recipe. Here in Havmor, ice cream consists of following ingredients.
Milk Powder
Milk
Cream
Butter
Sugar
Stabilizer and Emulsifier
Water
Liquid Glucose
INVENTORY
It is essential to have adequate inventory when demand is fluctuating, 160 flavours are
available and daily production is 2, 50,000 litters. To solve this node Havmor has separated
Inventory Department into two parts.
Raw Material
Liquid Materials
Solid Materials
Packing Material
RAW MATERIAL
Raw material department takes care of such inventories which are used in production of ice
cream. For example, Milk, Milk powder, Flavours, Chocolate, Jellies, Dry fruits etc.
Liquid Materials ( Milk, Liquid glucose, Food colours, Chocolate syrup etc)
PACKING MATERIAL
Packing material department takes care of various products which are used for packing like
popsicles, stickers, wrappers, premium tubs etc. Havmor holds different type of packing
material for each product according to its type price and flavour, by combining every packing
material Havmor hold more than 1000 types of material.
Production, purchase and inventory department stays in sync to run production smoothly and
efficiently. Each packing material has been given a code by which production department
raises demand to inventory department. And the record of consumption and inventory level is
maintained on monthly bases.
The level of inventory plays vital role in overall costing because of the holding cost and
ordering cost. Overall carrying is not negligible when per year consumption of packing
material is 92, 69, 49,796 units.
EOQ
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity of inventory that minimizes the total
cost of inventory management.
Two most important categories of inventory costs are ordering costs and carrying costs.
Ordering costs are costs that are incurred on obtaining additional inventories. They include
costs incurred on communicating the order, transportation cost, etc. Carrying costs represent
the costs incurred on holding inventory in hand. They include the opportunity cost of money
held up in inventories, storage costs, spoilage costs, etc.
Ordering costs and carrying costs are quite opposite to each other. If we need to minimize
carrying costs we have to place small order which increases the ordering costs. If we want
minimize our ordering costs we have to place few orders in a year and this requires placing
large orders which in turn increases the total carrying costs for the period.
We need to minimize the total inventory costs and EOQ model helps us just do that.
Total inventory costs = Ordering costs + Holding costs
By taking the first derivative of the function we find the following equation for minimum
cost
EOQ = (2 Quantity Cost Per Order / Carrying Cost Per Order)^(1/2)
SAFETY STOCK
Safety stock is the stock held by a company in excess of its requirement for the lead time.
Companies hold safety stock to guard against stock-out. Safety stock is calculated using the
following formula:
Safety Stock = (Maximum Daily Usage Average Daily Usage) Lead Time
Total inventory and its cost from April16 to Feb17 is listed below.

Cold Storage
Dispatch
Any official distributor can raise a demand via mail. The distributor needs to list down his/her
total demand of one order at a time in special demand sheet prepared by Havmor and needs to
send it via e-mail to dispatch department.
Dispatch department extracts the demand letter and send a copy to cold storage department
and keeps another copy with them. As per demand letter cold storage department unloads the
ice cream crates from cold storages and dispatch department loads the crates into refrigerated
van.
COLD STORAGE
Ice cream needs to be frozen before dispatching. In Havmor, any ice cream is hardened for a
minimum of 2 days in cold storages at temperature ranging from -21 to -29. Havmor has total
six cold storages combined they can store up to 5,00,000 litres of ice cream.
Every box of product has its batch code by which workers can identify age of that particular
product and according to its batch code product is kept in stores.
Whichever crate workers unload from cold store has be two days old otherwise it will be
rejected by the dispatch department.
DISPATCH
Dispatch department has total seven loading station along with Havmors barcode and
scanning system and metal detector. This eliminates chances of loading defective or
inappropriate ice cream crates.
Two checkers are allocated to each station to reduce chances of supplying defected or
irrelevant products.
When refrigerated van arrives to the loading station, inside temperature of that van should be
ranging from -18 to -15 only then after loading of crates takes place.
Once loading is finished the van is locked and again needs to achieve temperature around -
18 and till van reaches to its destination, the same temperature has to be maintained.
Temperature of each refrigerated van is observed via system continuously from its arrival to
loading station till it reaches to its destination.
2. Mismatch in communication for sales of premium tubs between sales department and
production department.
2. Dispute between the company and its distributors regarding delivery and serving bulk or
party orders.
