EFFLUENT AND TREATMENT
The liquid effluents in the industry are being treated.
STEP –1: At first the liquid is treated in the oil separators. This is to separate the oil
contents in the liquid.
STEP – 2: This is passed to a tank where air bubbling is performed. Here the effluent
gases are removed from the water. This degassing is done up to 2 hours or more
depending upon the effluent gas present in the liquid.
STEP – 3: The process may not degas all the effluent gases present in the liquid. For
this the liquid is again passed through the aerator. The aerator pumps the air in a high
pressure to make a fountain of droplets of water. This will help to remove every trace of
dissolved gases.
STEP –4: The liquid mostly may be of altered pH. According to the type of the effluent
liquid it may be treated with either acid or alkali to bring the liquid to normal pH of 7.
STEP – 5: The treated water is efficiently reused for irrigation in gardens & lawns of
the company.

Materials Management
The Materials Management applications must provide the NCAS with capabilities
for managing and controlling the State's purchasing and accounts payable policies and
accounting for the inventoried assets.
The Materials Management modules are currently integrated components of the

NCAS with the exception of the Fixed Assets Module (FA). The following paragraphs by
business application, portray the fully integrated process.
Overview of Current Materials Management Process
Through shared vendor and policy information, Purchasing and Accounts Payable
functions can freely communicate without the usual control issues associated with
duplication of files and batch interfaces. Accounts Payable shares purchase order
information from Purchasing and updates the invoiced-to-date amount on the purchase
order real-time. Receipts are entered and referenced to a purchase order number,
ensuring accurate posting of deliveries to each purchase order line. Receipts that cannot
be identified or that do not fit matching criteria are identified, placed on hold, and
reported for buyer action. Each receipt is checked for proper delivery points and verified
that the quantities received and the receipt date are within tolerances already defined on
the purchase order. Another receipt requirement, inspection of goods, is handled through
dock-to-stock tracking. This feature tracks the inspection of materials according to a
table of routing and inspection areas.

47
Accounts Payable performs the invoice audit and approval functions by checking
invoice details such as amounts, unit price, terms, tax, freight, etc. against the purchase
order. Data entry effort is minimal, because invoice details are built from the purchase
order and displayed on-line. Accounts payable clerks have to deal only with the
exceptions, resulting in maximum efficiency with full control. The NCAS system uses a
PC-based, laser printing process to support the creation of vendor payments. The laser
check printing process has strong internal controls, including password protection access
to the check printing software, the use of security chips in the printers themselves, as well
as the use of blank check stock (vs. pre-printed check forms). Agencies print checks
locally, using a nightly check file that is downloaded from the NCAS mainframe system.
The Inventory integration with the Purchasing system is designed to address

warehouse replenishment needs. Information about stock items and requisitions for
replenishment are passed from Inventory to Purchasing, and purchase orders and receipts
pass from Purchasing to Inventory. The following information is shared between the two
systems: items, requisitions, purchase orders, and receipts.
Requisitions are created to replenish warehouse inventory. They can be generated

either automatically in batch by the system, or created manually by the inventory
replenishment planner. Once approved, these requisitions automatically pass to
Purchasing to be converted into purchase orders. When goods are received in the
Purchasing function, the quantity is passed to Inventory to reduce the on-order quantity
and increase the on-hand quantity. If goods undergo inspection in the Purchasing
function, the active on-hand quantity is not increased in the Inventory until the goods
have passed inspection.
The Materials Management systems maintain accounting integrity through

integration with the General Ledger. Distribution entries from purchase orders, Accounts
Payable and Inventory issues and replenishments are validated directly against the
General Ledger. Offsetting cash, assets accounts, and encumbrances are automated
through the accounting rules or system policies to ensure accounting accuracy.
The integration of the Materials Management functions with the budgetary control
function provides the funds-checking capability required for the NCAS. All Purchasing,
Accounts Payable, and Inventory transactions (commitments, encumbrances, inventory
consumption and replenishment, and expenditures) are checked real-time to the available
funds amount calculated through budgetary control functions. Real-time funds checking
ensures expenditures are kept within the authorized budget and provides advanced
knowledge of the budgetary status for spending decisions.

48
Purchasing
The Purchasing function is a real-time, decision support application designed to

help manage the entire procurement cycle. This cycle includes requesting, competitive
bidding, buying, receiving, and inspecting. Purchasing agents' day-to-day decision-
making is fully supported with tools and information on-line to manage the supplier base
and service the purchasing function for the State in a timely and efficient manner.
Figures 6 and 7 display the participants and tasks in the Purchasing or Competitive
Sourcing and Vendor Selection processes, respectively.
Purchasing Financial Functions
The State's purchasing policies and strategies are the basis for the system and are
incorporated into a policy hierarchy. The policy hierarchy consists of rules that define
how to handle purchasing functions within the government environment. The most
general purchasing policies represent the highest level of the hierarchy, and each
successive level below the general policy defines further levels of detail to the general
policy.
As requisitions and purchase orders are processed, the policy hierarchy ensures
that the majority of the purchasing activity is handled automatically and within the
required purchasing guidelines. If a particular situation does not fit the general rules, a
purchaser may change the hierarchy default to fit the situation; however, the system
tracks in detail the full procurement process from requisition to payment.

49
Overview of Current Purchasing Process

50
The Purchasing function provides:
 Full integration with Accounts Payable, Inventory, Budgetary Control, and

General Ledger;
 Real-time encumbering of funds and confirmation of funds availability;
 A centrally-controlled item file that ensures a consistent statewide purchasing
history database;
 Common policy files for Purchasing and Accounts Payable;
 A statewide central vendor file that is shared by both Purchasing and Accounts
Payable;
 Funds checking at each decision point (requisition, purchase order, and Accounts
Payable);
 Buyer tools (on-line buyer split requisition worksheet);
Purchasing Reporting Functions
Reporting within the Purchasing function supports:
 Daily purchasing decisions through buyer action reports and buyer exception
reports, and
 Central management requirements for the Division of Purchase and Contract
(P&C) HUB reporting and recycled goods reporting.

Quality assurance involves the activity of providing evidence, much needed to

establish confidence among all those concerned, that the quality function being followed
taken care of.
Quality assurance provides protection against quality related problems. The

responsibility of Q.A department is to control & assure the right quality of raw materials,
packing materials & the finished products is maintained all along.

57
INPROCESS INSPECTION
Objective
In the concept of Quality Assurance, quality has to be built in throughout the process &
not to be Checked /Controlled at final stage of Process i.e. finished product. In the
process of building up of the quality, in-process inspection had major role. The in-process
inspections serve to have checks at different stage of the manufacturing process, which
ultimately controls the quality of the product.
Responsibility : Quality Assurance Inspector

Chemist/Officer Quality Assurance is responsible to perform the activity as per
procedure. They are directly reporting to Q.A.Manager
Head of Quality Assurance is responsible for effective implementation and training of

procedure.
Procedure
The persons are provided with check points for various operations & required to observed
the deviations from the specified operational norms & are required to immediately report
such deviations to the immediate person responsible for the operations & subsequently to
Q.A Head. In case the person is doubtful about his judgment, he is required to stop the
process as an immediate preventive action & then consult with senior for guidance in the
matter.
But in any case no operation, with any type of deviation is allowed to continue
unless the doubt/deviation is sorted out

58
Check point:-
General
At the time of starting of the operation, check for total removal of unwanted
material form the area. In case of other material is required to be stored in the area it
should have been well segregated & labeled.
Check the area for cleanliness & required environment conditions.
Check that the operation is being carried out by an experienced & authorized
operator.
Check that all personnel are wearing the required uniforms, nose masks, hand
gloves etc.
Check that all container stored in the area are labeled with full details viz.
Product, Batch No. Mfg., Exp. Date, Stage of operation.
Check that at a time, in a specified area & with the specified set of equipment,
only one batch processed, there is no spill over of the batches & batch identity is
maintained.
In case of any observed deviation ask the operator to discontinue the operation as
an immediate preventive measure & report the deviation to the person in-charge of
operation as well as to the Quality Assurance Head.
Physical parameters of in-process products are to be checked at the start of the

batch and at random during the processing of the batch to verify that all parameters are
within the prescribed limits .
Maintain the records of all the observations.

ACCOUNTING
Costing :
The department in question has an enormous impact on the overall performance

of any industry. The effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the costing department is quite
clear or obvious at the slightest glance on the performance or result of the industry.
Costing plays a major role as far as the yield of the industry goes. It plays a buffer role in
between the management and the various operation departments.
Costing department in industry is supposed to be of the most efficient and result

oriented department and is directly responsible for determining the margin of profit.
Costing department carries out various jobs such as,
 Determining the efficiency of the operations on which the incentive scheme is to

be formulated.
 Preparing the daily production report, monthly production report, monthly

performance report and so on.
 Record of the damages bottles which could be taken into A/C while preparing the
yearly A/C.
The most important function of the costing department is the provision of the
material requirement for various department to the stores.
Costing department has also taken up the job of evaluating the efficiency of every
single operation. Time study is done operationwise. For each operation with all the
necessary time for getting the material.
Costing department also records the receipts, issue of the costly or bulk
requirement raw materials. The costing department has its own record for opening
balance, issues during the month & receipts during the month. A physical inventory of
stock is carried out.

61
The costing department records all the issues of raw material. A comparison of actual
issues as against budgeted or estimated quantity is made. Variances are found out and
necessary action are taken such as :
 The correction in cost cards is made this exercise is carried out at every month
end and various statement prepared.
 Costing department also maintain a record for wastage, destroyed, samples given
as gift which helps in preparing the final A/C.

Various marketing strategies and steps are followed by marketing dept of

Concept Pharmaceutical Ltd. This organization has a strong marketing unit with the help
of this organization made a strong image in domestic as well as foreign market .
Following is the plan & steps of company to be followed in marketing field.
How to write a Marketing Plan
A marketing plan is a written document that details the actions necessary to

achieve one or more marketing objectives. It can be for a product or service, a brand, or a
product line. It can cover one year (referred to as an annual marketing plan), or cover up
to 5 (sometimes referred to as five) years.
A marketing plan may be part of an overall business plan. Solid marketing

strategy is the foundation of a well-written marketing plan. While a marketing plan
contains a list of actions, a marketing plan without a sound strategic foundation is of little
use.
The Marketing Plan is generally undertaken for one of the following reasons :
 Needed as part of the yearly planning process within the marketing functional
area.
 Needed for a specialized strategy to introduce something new, such as new

product planning, entering new markets, or trying a new strategy to fix an existing
problem.
 Is a component within an overall business plan, such as a new business proposal

to the financial community.

 Market share analysis
 Expense analysis
 Financial Analysis

 5.1 Approaches to budgeting

67
The marketing planning process
In most organizations, "strategic planning" is an annual process, typically

covering just the year ahead. Occasionally, a few organizations may look at a practical
plan which stretches three or more years ahead.
To be most effective, the plan has to be formalized, usually in written form, as a

formal `marketing plan'. The essence of the process is that it moves from the general to
the specific; from the overall objectives of the organization down to the individual action
plan for a part of one marketing programme. It is also an iterative process, so that the
draft output of each stage is checked to see what impact it has on the earlier stages - and
is amended accordingly.
Corporate mission
Behind the corporate objectives, which in themselves offer the main context for
the marketing plan, will lie the 'corporate mission'; which in turn provides the context
for these corporate objectives. This `corporate mission' can be thought of as a definition
of what the organization is; of what it does: 'Our business is …'.
This definitions should not be too narrow, or it will constrict the development of
the organization; a too rigorous concentration on the view that `We are in the business of
making meat-scales', as IBM was during the early 1900s, might have limited its
subsequent development into other areas. On the other hand, it should not be too wide or
it will become meaningless; `We want to make a profit' is not too helpful in developing
specific plans.
Abell suggested that the definition should cover three dimensions: 'customer
groups' to be served, 'customer needs' to be served, and 'technologies' to be utilized.
Thus, the definition of IBM's `corporate mission' in the 1940s might well have
been: `We are in the business of handling accounting information [customer need] for the
larger US organizations [customer group] by means of punched cards [technology].'
Fortunately, as the name itself (International Business Machines) indicates, IBM already
had a wider perspective (and its corporate mission was virtually defined by its name).
Planning is the key element of the management function

68
Corporate vision
Perhaps the most important factor in successful marketing is the `corporate

vision'. Surprisingly, it is largely neglected by marketing textbooks; although not by the
popular exponents of corporate strategy - indeed, it was perhaps the main theme of the
book by Peters and Waterman, in the form of their `Superordinate Goals'. [2] Theodore
Levitt said: "Nothing drives progress like the imagination. The idea precedes the deed.
If the organization in general, and its chief executive in particular, has a strong
vision of where its future lies, then there is a good chance that the organization will
achieve a strong position in its markets (and attain that future). This will be not least
because its strategies will be consistent; and will be supported by its staff at all levels. In
this context, all of IBM's marketing activities were underpinned by its philosophy of
`customer service'; a vision originally promoted by the charismatic Watson dynasty.
Henry Mintzberg explained: "... in some cases, in addition to the mission there is
the `sense of mission', that is, a feeling that the group has banded together to create
something new and exciting. This is common in new organizations".
What a worthwhile vision consists of is, however, usually open to debate; hence
the reason why such visions tend to be associated with strong, charismatic leaders. But
the vision must be relevant. The message for the marketer is that, to be most effective, the
marketing strategies must be converted into a powerful long-term vision; if such a vision
does not already exist.
Objectives for non-profit-making organizations
In the case of non-profit organizations the objectives may be less than clear. Keith
Blois suggested five main reasons for the differences from `commercial' organizations:
 Ambiguous Goals [more actors and groups of actors are involved]

 Lack of Agreement in Means-End Relationships [even where there is consensus
on the goal there may be disagreement on how to get there]
 Environmental Turbulence [non-profit organizations seem to be exposed more to
turbulence than commercial ones]
 Unmeasurable Outputs [unfortunately, by definition, non-profit organizations do
not have the classically convenient simplicity of `bottom-line profit']
 The Effects of Management Intervention are Unknown [the lack of precision
caused by factors 1-4 is problem enough, but the `culture' seems to add further
barriers to managing these organizations]

69
Even so, Kotler and Andreasen suggested some possible objectives for such
organizations:
 Surplus Maximization [equivalent to profit maximization]

 Revenue Maximization [as for profit-making organizations]
 Usage Maximization [maximizing the numbers of users and their usage]
 Usage Targeting [matching the capacity available]
 Full Cost Recovery [breaking even]
 Partial Cost Recovery [minimizing the subsidy]
 Budget Maximization [maximizing what is offered]
 Producer Satisfaction Maximization [satisfying the wants of staff]
Marketing audit
The first formal step in the marketing planning process is that of conducting the
marketing audit. Ideally, at the time of producing the marketing plan, this should only
involve bringing together the source material which has already been collected
throughout the year - as part of the normal work of the marketing department.
The emphasis at this stage is on obtaining a complete and accurate picture. In a

single organization, however, it is likely that only a few aspects will be sufficiently
important to have any significant impact on the marketing plan; but all may need to be
reviewed to determine just which 'are' the few.
In this context some factors related to the customer, which should be included in
the material collected for the audit, may be:
 Who are the customers?

 What are their key characteristics?
 What differentiates them from other members of the population?
 What are their needs and wants?
 What do they expect the `product' to do?
 What are their special requirements and perceptions?
 What do they think of the organization and its products or services?
 What are their attitudes?
 What are their buying intentions?


70
A `traditional' - albeit product-based - format for a `brand reference book' (or,

indeed, a `marketing facts book') was suggested by Godley more than three decades ago:
Financial data --Facts for this section will come from management accounting, costing
and finance sections.
Product data --From production, research and development.
Sales and distribution data - Sales, packaging, distribution sections.
Advertising, sales promotion, merchandising data - Information from these

departments.
Market data and miscellany - From market research, who would in most cases act as a
source for this information.
This sources of data, however, assume the resources of a very large organization.
In most organizations they would be obtained from a much smaller set of people (and not
a few of them would be generated by the marketing manager alone). It is apparent that a
marketing audit can be a complex process, but the aim is simple: 'it is only to identify
those existing (external and internal) factors which will have a significant impact on the
future plans of the company'.
It is clear that the basic material to be input to the marketing audit should be
comprehensive. Accordingly, the best approach is to accumulate this material
continuously, as and when it becomes available; since this avoids the otherwise heavy
workload involved in collecting it as part of the regular, typically annual, planning
process itself - when time is usually at a premium. Even so, the first task of this ànnual'
process should be to check that the material held in the current `facts book' or `facts files'
actually 'is' comprehensive and accurate, and can form a sound basis for the marketing
audit itself.
The structure of the facts book will be designed to match the specific needs of the
organization, but one simple format - suggested by Malcolm McDonald - may be
applicable in many cases. This splits the material into three groups:
'Review of the marketing environment'. A study of the organization's markets,

customers, competitors and the overall economic, political, cultural and technical
environment; covering developing trends, as well as the current situation.
'Review of the detailed marketing activity'. A study of the company's marketing

mix; in terms of the 4 Ps - product, price, promotion and place.

71
'Review of the marketing system'. A study of the marketing organization,

marketing research systems and the current marketing objectives and strategies.
The last of these is too frequently ignored. The marketing system itself needs to be
regularly questioned, because the validity of the whole marketing plan is reliant upon the
accuracy of the input from this system, and `garbage in, garbage out' applies with a
vengeance.
Analysis
The analysis of this material will, no doubt, require significant effort. In the first
instance it is a matter of selection, of sorting the wheat from the chaff. What is important,
and will need to be taken into account in the marketing plan that will eventually emerge
from the overall process, will be different for each product or service in each situation.
One of the most important skills to be learned in marketing is that of being able to
concentrate on just what is important.
It is important to say not just what happened but why. The process of marketing
planning encompasses all of the marketing skills. However, a number of these may be
particularly relevant at this stage:
 'Positioning'. The starting point of the marketing plan must be the consumer. It is
a matter of definition that his or her needs should drive the whole marketing
process. The techniques of positioning and segmentation therefore usually offer
the best starting point for what has to be achieved by the whole planning process.
 'Portfolio planning'. In addition, the coordinated planning of the individual

products and services can contribute towards the balanced portfolio.
 '80:20 rule'. To achieve the maximum impact, the marketing plan must be clear,
concise and simple. It needs to concentrate on the 20 per cent of products or
services, and on the 20 per cent of customers, which will account for 80 per cent
of the volume and 80 per cent of the `profit'.
 '4 Ps': Product, Place, Price and Promotion. The 4 Ps can sometimes divert
attention from the customer, but the framework they offer can be very useful in
building the action plans.

72
Marketing objectives
It is only at this stage (of deciding the marketing objectives) that the active part of
the marketing planning process begins'.
This next stage in marketing planning is indeed the key to the whole marketing
process. The marketing objectives state just where the company intends to be; at some
specific time in the future. James Quinn succinctly defined objectives in general as:
"Goals (or objectives) state 'what' is to be achieved and 'when' results are to be
accomplished, but they do not state 'how' the results are to be achieved".
They typically relate to what products (or services) will be where in what markets
(and must be realistically based on customer behaviour in those markets). They are
essentially about the match between those 'products' and 'markets'. Objectives for pricing,
distribution, advertising and so on are at a lower level, and should not be confused with
marketing objectives. They are part of the marketing strategy needed to achieve
marketing objectives.
To be most effective, objectives should be capable of measurement and therefore

'quantifiable'. This measurement may be in terms of sales volume, money value, market
share, percentage penetration of distribution outlets and so on. An example of such a
measurable marketing objective might be `to enter the market with product Y and capture
10 per cent of the market by value within one year'. As it is quantified it can, within
limits, be unequivocally monitored; and corrective action taken as necessary.
The marketing objectives must usually be based, above all, on the organization's
financial objectives; converting these financial measurements into the related marketing
measurements.
In marketing, objectives are often built using the SMART acronym.
It is conventionally assumed that marketing objectives will be designed to

maximize volume or profit (or to optimize the utilization of resources in the non-profit
sector), by creating demand or rejuvenating existing demand, say; although the various
sub-objectives may indicate many different routes to achieving such optimization.

73
However, as Kotler suggested (in the earlier edition of his book), there may be a
number of other objectives:
 Synchromarketing
 Demarketing
 Counter-marketing
Synchromarketing - The aim may be to `redistribute' existing sales (which are already at
optimum levels) so that they occur at times, or in places, which the supplier prefers.
Thus, for example, organizations which have highly seasonal sales (which make
inefficient use of resources) may want to increase non-seasonal sales. Walls achieved this
by balancing its summer sales of ice-cream with pies and sausages, demand for which
peaks in winter. The suppliers of central-heating oil offer special deals for those
customers willing to restock their tanks in summer.
Demarketing' - Demand may sometimes exceed supply. In these circumstances the

emphasis will be on rationing scarce supplies. Occasionally the supplier, rather than bring
on-stream expensive new plant, may seek to persuade customers to buy less (or be less
dissatisfied with the scarcity). Some suppliers of electrical energy (electricity generators
in Europe and the USA) have heavily advertised energy conservation measures to achieve
this end (otherwise, the cost of meeting the peak winter loads would be very high - and
unprofitable).
Counter-marketing - In what is usually a public-sector activity (but is occasionally

undertaken by the private sector, where some uses of a product are damaging the
corporate image), there may be an objective of stopping consumption completely. The
anti-tobacco and anti-drug campaigns are the most obvious examples; but McDonald's
campaigns to stop its customers dropping litter, or the brewers' campaigns to stop
drinking and driving, fall into this category.
Emergent strategy
In this case, the intended strategy, decided upon traditionally or incrementally, is

overtaken by events in two main ways. One, which will probably be recognized by the
organization, is that of unrealized strategy; where it proves impossible to implement the
chosen strategy in practice.

74
Less obvious is the emergent strategy which is decided by events in the external
environment; and, thus, forced upon the organization. This may not necessarily be
recognized, in its totality, by the organization - since many of its implications may be
hidden. As markets become more complex, however, such emergent strategies are
becoming more common.
Many organizations see both these processes in terms of failure - they have been
forced, usually by unpredictable events, to abandon their own strategy. There is,
accordingly, a tendency for these unwelcome facts to be ignored until they are so obvious
that they cannot be avoided. This is a major error. Such deviations must be recognised
(probably through one or other form of environmental analysis coupled with networking)
as soon as possible- so that the organization can react in good time.
A much more powerful approach is, though, to be proactive; so seize upon these
deviations as the basis for future developments. What needs to be recognized is that
emergent strategies are the most powerful of all. They must, by definition, be directly
derived from the needs of the market - where even successful deliberate strategies may
not ideally match market needs but may achieve their targets by sheer force (especially
where conviction marketing lies behind them). Emergent strategies are, thus, likely to be
vigorous ones.
There are two main approaches to capitalizing on such emergent strategies. The
first of these, favored in the West, is the umbrella strategy. This is a form of very
positive delegation, in that the overall strategies, the umbrella, are very general in nature -
and allow the lower level managers, who are closest to the external environment, the
freedom to react to these changes.
A much more direct, and hence even more powerful, approach is that favored by
the Japanese corporations. They integrate emergent strategies with their own. Indeed it is
arguable that, in terms of marketing, to a large extent they use emergent strategies instead
of their own deliberate strategies. This is evidenced as much by an attitude of mind as by
any other feature. They deliberately go out to look for symptoms of such emergent trends
which can be detected in the performance of their own products. More than that, though,
they often deliberately launch a range of products rather than a single one to see which is
most successful. It is almost as if they deliberately seek out the emergent strategies by
offering the best environment for them to develop - the very reverse of the Western
approach which seeks to avoid them. The Japanese then go on to build on these emergent
strategies with a number of very effective tools - most of which are designed to overcome
the major problem which accompanies emergent strategies, that they emerge on the scene
much later than deliberate ones (and are likely to be visible to all the competitors at the
same time) so that time is the essence.

75
Thus, time management techniques (including parallel development along with

flexible manufacturing and JIT) which have been developed by the Japanese offer them a
significant competitive advantage in handling such emergent strategies.
Marketing strategies
There are numerous definitions of what strategy is, but again James Quinn gave a
succinct general definition: "A strategy is a 'pattern' or 'plan' that 'integrates' an
organization's 'major' goals, policies and action sequences into a 'cohesive' whole" [7]
He went on to explain his view of the role of `policies', with which strategy is most often
confused: "Policies are rules or guidelines that express the 'limits' within which action
should occur.
Simplifying somewhat, marketing strategies can be seen as the means, or `game

plan', by which marketing objectives will be achieved and, in the framework that we have
chosen to use, are generally concerned with the 4 Ps. Examples are:
PRODUCT
 Developing new products, repositioning or relaunching existing ones and

scrapping old ones
 Adding new features and benefits
 Balancing product portfolios
 Changing the design or packaging
PRICE
 Setting the price to skim or to penetrate

 Pricing for different market segments
 Deciding how to meet competitive pricing
PROMOTION
 Specifying the advertising platform and media

 Deciding the public relations brief
 Organizing the salesforce to cover new products and services or markets
PLACE
 Choosing the channels

 Deciding levels of customer service

76
In principle, these strategies describe how the objectives will be achieved. The 4
Ps are a useful framework for deciding how the company's resources will be manipulated
(strategically) to achieve the objectives. It should be noted, however, that they are not the
only framework, and may divert attention from the real issues. The focus of the strategies
must be the objectives to be achieved - not the process of planning itself. Only if it fits
the needs of these objectives should you choose, as we have done, to use the framework
of the 4 Ps.
The strategy statement can take the form of a purely verbal description of the
strategic options which have been chosen. Alternatively, and perhaps more positively, it
might include a structured list of the major options chosen.
One aspect of strategy which is often overlooked is that of 'timing'. Exactly when
it is the best time for each element of the strategy to be implemented is often critical.
Taking the right action at the wrong time can sometimes be almost as bad as taking the
wrong action at the right time. Timing is, therefore, an essential part of any plan; and
should normally appear as a schedule of planned activities.
Having completed this crucial stage of the planning process, you will need to re-
check the feasibility of your objectives and strategies in terms of the market share, sales,
costs, profits and so on which these demand in practice. As in the rest of the marketing
discipline, you will need to employ judgement, experience, market research or anything
else which helps you to look at your conclusions from all possible angles.
Detailed plans and programmes
At this stage, you will need to develop your overall marketing strategies into
detailed plans and programmes. Although these detailed plans may cover each of the 4
Ps, the focus will vary, depending upon your organization's specific strategies. A product-
oriented company will focus its plans for the 4 Ps around each of its products. A market
or geographically oriented company will concentrate on each market or geographical
area. Each will base its plans upon the detailed needs of its customers, and on the
strategies chosen to satisfy these needs.
Again, the most important element is, indeed, that of the detailed plans; which
spell out exactly what programmes and individual activities will take place over the
period of the plan (usually over the next year). Without these specified - and preferably
quantified - activities the plan cannot be monitored, even in terms of success in meeting
its objectives.

77
It is these programmes and activities which will then constitute the `marketing' of
the organization over the period. As a result, these detailed marketing programmes are
the most important, practical outcome of the whole planning process. These plans should
therefore be:
 Clear - They should be an unambiguous statement of 'exactly' what is to be done.
 Quantified - The predicted outcome of each activity should be, as far as possible,
quantified; so that its performance can be monitored.
 Focused - The temptation to proliferate activities beyond the numbers which can
be realistically controlled should be avoided. The 80:20 Rule applies in this
context too.
 Realistic - They should be achievable.
 Agreed - Those who are to implement them should be committed to them, and
agree that they are achievable.
The resulting plans should become a working document which will guide the
campaigns taking place throughout the organization over the period of the plan. If the
marketing plan is to work, every exception to it (throughout the year) must be questioned;
and the lessons learned, to be incorporated in the next year's plan.

Measurement of Progress
The final stage of any marketing planning process is to establish targets (or standards) so
that progress can be monitored. Accordingly, it is important to put both quantities and
timescales into the marketing objectives (for example, to capture 20 per cent by value of
the market within two years) and into the corresponding strategies.
Changes in the environment mean that the forecasts often have to be changed. Along with
these, the related plans may well also need to be changed. Continuous monitoring of
performance, against predetermined targets, represents a most important aspect of this.
However, perhaps even more important is the enforced discipline of a regular formal
review. Again, as with forecasts, in many cases the best (most realistic) planning cycle
will revolve around a quarterly review. Best of all, at least in terms of the quantifiable
aspects of the plans, if not the wealth of backing detail, is probably a quarterly rolling
review - planning one full year ahead each new quarter. Of course, this does absorb more
planning resource; but it also ensures that the plans embody the latest information, and -
with attention focused on them so regularly - forces both the plans and their
implementation to be realistic.
Plans only have validity if they are actually used to control the progress of a company:
their success lies in their implementation, not in the writing'.

84
Performance analysis
The most important elements of marketing performance, which are normally tracked, are:
Sales analysis
Most organizations track their sales results; or, in non-profit organizations for example,
the number of clients. The more sophisticated track them in terms of 'sales variance' - the
deviation from the target figures - which allows a more immediate picture of deviations
to become evident. `Micro- analysis', which is a nicely pseudo-scientific term for the
normal management process of investigating detailed problems, then investigates the
individual elements (individual products, sales territories, customers and so on) which are
failing to meet targets.
Market share analysis
Relatively few organizations, however, track market share. In some circumstances

this may well be a much more important measure. Sales may still be increasing, in an
expanding market, while share is actually decreasing - boding ill for future sales when the
market eventually starts to drop. Where such market share is tracked, there may be a
number of aspects which will be followed:
 Overall market share

 Segment share - that in the specific, targeted segment
 Relative share -in relation to the market leaders
Expense analysis
The key ratio to watch in this area is usually the `marketing expense to sales ratio';
although this may be broken down into other elements (advertising to sales, sales
administration to sales, and so on).
Financial Analysis
The `bottom line' of marketing activities should at least in theory, be the net profit (for all
except non-profit organizations, where the comparable emphasis may be on remaining
within budgeted costs). There are a number of separate performance figures and key
ratios which need to be tracked:
 Gross contribution<>net profit

 Gross profit<>return on investment
 Net contribution<>profit on sales

85
There can be considerable benefit in comparing these figures with those achieved by
other organizations (especially those in the same industry); using, for instance, the figures
which can be obtained (in the UK) from `The Centre for Interfirm Comparison'. The most
sophisticated use of this approach, however, is typically by those making use of PIMS
(Profit Impact of Management Strategies), initiated by the General Electric Company and
then developed by Harvard Business School, but now run by the Strategic Planning
Institute.
The above performance analyses concentrate on the quantitative measures which are
directly related to short-term performance. But there are a number of indirect measures,
essentially tracking customer attitudes, which can also indicate the organization's
performance in terms of its longer-term marketing strengths and may accordingly be even
more important indicators. Some useful measures are:
 market research - including customer panels (which are used to track changes
over time)
 lost business - the orders which were lost because, for example, the stock was not
available or the product did not meet the customer's exact requirements
 customer complaints - how many customers complain about the products or
services, or the organization itself, and about what.
Use of Marketing Plans
A formal, written marketing plan is essential; in that it provides an unambiguous

reference point for activities throughout the planning period. However, perhaps the most
important benefit of these plans is the planning process itself. This typically offers a
unique opportunity, a forum, for ìnformation-rich' and productively focused discussions
between the various managers involved. The plan, together with the associated
discussions, then provides an agreed context for their subsequent management activities,
even for those not described in the plan itself.
Budgets as Managerial Tools
The classic quantification of a marketing plan appears in the form of budgets. Because
these are so rigorously quantified, they are particularly important. They should, thus,
represent an unequivocal projection of actions and expected results. What is more, they
should be capable of being monitored accurately; and, indeed, performance against
budget is the main (regular) management review process.

86
The purpose of a marketing budget is, thus, to pull together all the revenues and costs
involved in marketing into one comprehensive document. It is a managerial tool that
balances what is needed to be spent against what can be afforded, and helps make choices
about priorities. It is then used in monitoring performance in practice.
The marketing budget is usually the most powerful tool by which you think through the
relationship between desired results and available means. Its starting point should be the
marketing strategies and plans, which have already been formulated in the marketing plan
itself; although, in practice, the two will run in parallel and will interact. At the very least,
the rigorous, highly quantified, budgets may cause a rethink of some of the more
optimistic elements of the plans.
Approaches to budgeting
Many budgets are based on history. They are the equivalent of `time-series' forecasting. It
is assumed that next year's budgets should follow some trend that is discernible over
recent history. Other alternatives are based on a simple `percentage of sales' or on `what
the competitors are doing'.
However, there are many other alternatives - Ven:
 Affordable - This may be the most common approach to budgeting. Someone,

typically the managing director on behalf of the board, decides what is a
`reasonable' promotional budget; what can be afforded. This figure is most often
based on historical spending. This approach assumes that promotion is a cost; and
sometimes is seen as an avoidable cost.
 Percentage of revenue - This is a variation of àffordable', but at least it forges a

link with sales volume, in that the budget will be set at a certain percentage of
revenue, and thus follows trends in sales. However, it does imply that promotion
is a result of sales, rather than the other way round.
 Competitive parity - In this case, the organization relates its budgets to what the
competitors are doing: for example, it matches their budgets, or beats them, or
spends a proportion of what the brand leader is spending. On the other hand, it
assumes that the competitors know best; in which case, the service or product can
expect to be nothing more than a follower.
 Zero-based budgeting - In essence, this approach takes the objectives, as set out in
the marketing plan, together with the resulting planned activities and then costs
them out. Differences between marketing and business plans.

SWOT ANALYSIS

89
SWOT Analysis
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunites and Threats (SWOT).
SWOT analysis is a tool for auditing an organization and its environment. It is the first
stage of planning and helps marketers to focus on key issues. SWOT stands for strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors.
Opportunities and threats are external factors. At the bottom of this page are FREE
SWOT examples - so please read on.
Strengths: attributes of the organization that are helpful to achieving the objective.
Weaknesses: attributes of the organization that are harmful to achieving the objective.
Opportunities: external conditions that are helpful to achieving the objective.
Threats: external conditions that are harmful to achieving the objective.
Strengths
 Specialist marketing expertise.

 A new, innovative product and service.
 Location of your business.
 Quality processes and procedures.
 Price and schemes.
 Plant location and layout.
 Collabration with Lupin Pharmaceutical
Weakness
 Lack of personnel expertise.

 Small turnover of company.
 Location of vedors are away from plant.
 Pamaged reputation.
 A weakening economy.
 Lack of integration between offline and online resources.
 Some departments not knowing what others are doing.

90
Opportunities
 A developing market such as the Internet.

 Mergers, joint ventures or strategic alliances.
 Moving into new market segments that offer improved profits.
 A new international market.
 A market vacated by an ineffective competitor in generic medicine.
 More space for growth.
Threats
 A new competitor in your home market.

 Price wars with competitors.
 A competitor has a new, innovative product or service.
 Competitors have superior access to channels of distribution.
 Taxation is introduced on your product or service.
 Change in consumer attitude.
 An increase in unemployment.
Simple rules for successful SWOT analysis.
 Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your organization when

conducting SWOT analysis.
 SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your organization is today, and
where it could be in the future.
 SWOT should always be specific. Avoid grey areas.
 Always apply SWOT in relation to your competition i.e. better than or worse than
your competition.
 Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over analysis
 SWOT is subjective.

91
CONCLUSION

92
CONCLUSION
At last coming to conclusion I would like to add ‘ Aims and Objectives’ came
true during implant training.
The best thing to share about implant training is that whole implant environment
come in front of me and now further it is easy to breath comfortably in plant.
Any companies efficiency based on chemistry of various departments such as

personnel, finance, marketing purchase etc. to go head with competency company have to
manage this chemistry of departments. Each department of organization has it’s specified
area of work. But to work in total co-ordination it is very much essential that every
employee should have general idea about the objectives and functions of each
department. It also makes the communication and work pattern much more easier and
smoother. All these are only possible through proper induction and implant training
which we have experienced.
About Concept Pharmaceutical Ltd. Is well going on up warding path.

‘Ofloxacin’, ‘Becef’, ‘Concitone’, ‘Disogel syrup’ are some brands having huge market
and company’s motivated human resource taking effort to grab each and every
opportunity. Company’s strengths dominate the weaknesses and trying to achieve more.
As concern to future strategy of company, it ensures many new brands of company will
touch the new milestones.
But with the positive side company have to see also another side of coin, as some
weaknesses which might be dangerous in long run if not given proper attention.
Competitors like Ranabaxy, Wockhardt, Cipla, FDC etc are stronger and well positioned
in market segment. To overcome them in market company should have apply new
policies and strategies.
Also company has well scope in international market. If company retain same
position, it ha bright future. If company invest amount in purchasing advance machinery
it well help to improve quality as well boost companies’ image in market.
