About industrial visit The industrial visit is a very important part our management course.

Outdoor demonstrations like the industrial visit will create more interest; lengthy technical dissertationsdull the mind and tire the body. If the interest is to be maintained an industrial visit is must to be planned.The following things were observed when we visited Parle company-A welcome by a senior executiveA short introduction about the firm. its history, organization products, photographs,video, charts etc.A short tour of the plant pinpointing the highlights of the production methods.Explanation about the essence of manufacturing process was worthwhile.We were accompanied by our faculty prof .Sameeksha Rane and prof. Gaurav Rathod About company Mineral Water under the name 'Bisleri' was first introduced in Mumbai in glass bottles intwo varieties bubbly & still in 1965 by Bisleri Ltd., a company of Italian origin. This companywas started by Signor Felecia Bisleri who first brought the idea of selling bottled water in India.Parle bought over Bisleri (India) Ltd. In 1969 & started bottling Mineral water in glass bottlesunder the brand name 'Bisleri'. Later Parle switched over to PVC non-returnable bottles & finallyadvanced to PET containers.Bisleri company value their customers & therefore have developed 8 unique pack sizes to suitthe need of every individual. They at present have 50ml cups, 250ml bottles, 500ml, 1L, 1.5L,2L which are the non-returnable packs & 5L, 20L which are the returnable packs. Till date theIndian consumer has been offered Bisleri water, however in their effort to bring to consumerssomething refreshingly new, they have introduced Bisleri Natural Mountain Water water brought to you from the foothills of the mountains situated in Himachal Pradesh. Rigorous R&D TYPES OF PRO DU CT1. Bisleri with added Minerals:

Bisleri Mineral Water contains minerals such as magnesium sulphate and potassium bicarbonate whichare essential minerals for healthy living. They not only maintain the pH balance of the body but also helpin keeping you fit and energetic at all times.Bisleri with added minerals is also put through multiple stages of purification to ensure the eliminationof all forms of bacteria. This makes the water you drink completely safe to consume. Bisleri with addedminerals is available in 250ml cups, 250ml bottles, 500ml bottles, 1 liter bottles, 1.5 liters bottles, bottles and 5 and 20 liters cans 2 . Bisleri Mountain Water:

Bisleri Natural Mountain emanates from a natural spring, located in Uttaranchal and Himachal nestled inthe vast Shivalik Mountain ranges. Lauded as today's 'fountain of youth', Bisleri Natural Mountain Waterresonates with the energy and vibrancy capable of taking you back to nature. Bisleri Natural Water isbottled in its two plants in Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh and is available in six different pack sizesof 250ml, 500ml, 1 liters, 1.5 liters, 2 liters and 5 liters MAN U FACT U R I NG PROCESS I NP U T:

(A)Material: The raw water is obtained from bore wells and the water which they have storedduring the rainy seasons. Without materials there can be no output. Material input may accountfor as much as 80% of the value of the output. This fact indicates the importance to be attachedto material purchasing. The bottles are made from polymers such as HDPE, LLDPE and PET,raw water, recycled, cartoons , stickers. (B) Personnel: Bisleri requires mostly skilled and semi skilled laborers. The skilled laborersinclude production and plastic engineers. ( C) Capital assets : Bisleri has got 14 injection moulding machines, 2 automatic blowmoulding machines and 4 semi automatic blow moulding machines. It has also got 2 plantslocated side by side for production purposes GRO

U N D WATER: The raw water is stored underground. During the rainy season bislericompany stores water underground. OZON I SAT I ON: Bisleri is the only company who does the ozonisation it is done on rawmaterials. The process of ozonation ensures that the water remains free from bacteria, so that thewater can have a longer life and the machine used for this process of ozonation is calledozonator. PRE-F IL TERAT I ON: The process of filteration removes suspended particles from the water REVERSE OSMOS I S: This stage of reserve osmosis system controls and dissolves the leftover Particles and it converts hard water into soft water. M I

CRON F IL TERAT I ON: Under this stage of micro filtration additional safety measures aretaken to guarantee purity of water. A DD E D M I NERA L S: In this stage addition of mineral magnesium sulphate and potassium bicarbonate is processed. F I NA L OZON I SAT I ON:

The ozone treatment increases the shelf life of water. To ensuremineral water is held safe free from contamination, ultraviolet treatment and ozonisation processis carried out. Ozone is unstable trivalent oxygen, a very powerful bactericide with no side effect,as it disintegrates into oxygen within couple of hours. Sterilization effect of ozonised water continues even after water is packaged, thereby ensuring safety of Mineral Water up to its final packing. To ensure high quality of packing materials, components like caps and bottles aremanufactured in-house from resins of quality suppliers. F I NA L PRO DU CT: After going through all the departments like filling department, ,blowing,,grinding department the bottle is finally ready and it moves to the packaging department. O U TP U T: The final output of the whole manufacturing process is the clean pure drinking water in thebottles of different sizes according to the needs of the consumer
