INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIZATION
The Coca Cola Company is a soft drink company, which is believed to be the world’s first non-
alcoholic drink introduced in the market. It is one of the world’s largest revenue earning
company. The Company manufactures and sells non-alcoholic beverages, primarily carbonated
soft drinks and a variety of non-carbonated beverages. Coca-Cola also manufactures and
distributes juices and juice drinks and certain water products, such as Kenly. The Company and
its subsidiaries employ nearly 31,000 people around the world. Syrups, concentrates and
beverage bases for Coca-Cola, the Company's flagship brand, and over 230 other Company soft-
drink brands are manufactured and sold by The Coca-Cola Company and its subsidiaries in nearly
200 countries around the world.
By contract with The Coca-Cola Company or its local subsidiaries, local businesses are authorized
to bottle and sell Company soft drinks within certain territorial boundaries and under conditions
that ensure the highest standards of quality and uniformity.
Industry Beverage
Products Beverages
The product that has given the world its best-known taste was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on May
8, 1886. Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist, produced the syrup for
Coca-Cola®, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs'
Pharmacy, where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for
five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink. Carbonated water was teamed with
the new syrup to produce a drink that was at once "Delicious and Refreshing," a
theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed.
Dr. Pemberton never realized the potential of the beverage he created. He gradually
sold portions of his business to various partners and, just prior to his death in 1888, sold
his remaining interest in Coca-Cola to Asa G. Candler. An Atlantan with great business
acumen, Mr. Candler proceeded to buy additional rights and acquire complete control.
The Coca-Cola Company exists to benefit and refresh everyone it touches. Founded in
1886, Coca-Cola Company is the world's leading manufacturer, marketer, and
distributor of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups, used to produce nearly
400 beverage brands. Its corporate headquarters are in Atlanta, with local operations in over
200 countries around the world.
Coca-Cola was registered as a trademark in 1887 and by 1895 Coca-Cola was being sold in every
state and territory in the United States. In 1899, the company began franchised bottling
operations in the United States. Today, candidate can find Coca-Cola in virtually every part of
the world. The Coca-Cola Company has nearly 400 beverages in its portfolio.
HISTORY OF BOTTLING
In a candy store in Vicksburg, Mississippi, brisk sales of the new fountain beverage called Coca-
Cola impressed the store's owner, Joseph A. Biedenharn. He began bottling Coca-Cola to sell,
using a common glass bottle called a Hutchinson.
Biedenharn sent a case to Asa Griggs Candler, who owned the Company. Candler thanked him
but took no action. One of his nephews already had urged that Coca-Cola be bottled, but
Candler focused on fountain sales.
Two youth attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee believed they could build a business around
bottling Coca-Cola. In a meeting with Candler, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead
obtained exclusive rights to bottle Coca-Cola across most of the United States -- for the sum of
one dollar. A third Chattanooga lawyer, John T. Lupton, soon joined their venture
The three pioneer bottlers divided the country into territories and sold bottling rights to local
entrepreneurs. Their efforts were boosted by major progress in bottling technology, which
improved efficiency and product quality. By 1909, nearly 400 Coca-Cola bottling plants were
operating, most of them family-owned businesses. Some were open only during hot-weather
months when demand was high.
group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass manufacturers to offer ideas for a
distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana won
enthusiastic approval. The Contour Bottle became one of the few packages ever granted
trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it's one of the most recognized icons in the
world - even in the dark.
As the 1920s dawned, more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottlers were operating in the U.S. Their ideas
and zeal fueled steady growth. Six-bottle cartons were a huge hit starting in 1923. A few years
later, open-top metal coolers became the forerunners of automated vending machines. By the
end of the 1920s, bottle sales of Coca-Cola exceeded fountain sales.
Led by Robert W. Woodruff, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, the Company
began a major push to establish bottling operations outside the U.S. Plants were opened in
France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Belgium, Italy and South Africa. By the time World War II
began, Coca-Cola was being bottled in 44 countries.
During the war, 64 bottling plants were set up around the world to supply the troops. This
followed an urgent request for bottling equipment and materials from General Eisenhower's
base in North Africa. Many of these war-time plants were later converted to civilian use,
permanently enlarging the bottling system and accelerating the growth of the Company's
worldwide business.
For the first time, consumers had choices of Coca-Cola package size and type-the traditional 6.5
ounce Contour Bottle, or larger servings including 10-, 12- and 26-ounce versions. Cans were
also introduced, becoming generally available in 1960.
Sprite®, Fanta®, Fresca® and TAB® joined brand Coca-Cola in the 1960s. Mr. Pibb® and Mello
Yello® were added in the 1970s. The 1980s brought diet Coke® and Cherry Coke®, followed by
POWERaDE® and Fruitopia® in the 1990s. Today scores of other brands are offered to meet
consumer preferences in local markets around the world.
As technology led to a global economy, retail customers of The Coca-Cola Company merged and
evolved into international mega-chains. Such customers required a new approach. In response,
many small and medium-size bottlers consolidated to better serve giant international
customers. The Company encouraged and invested in a number of bottler consolidations to
assure that its largest bottling partners would have capacity to lead the system in working with
global retailers.
Political and economic changes opened vast markets that were closed or underdeveloped for
decades. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Company invested heavily to build plants in Eastern
Europe. As the century closed, more than $1.5 billion was committed to new bottling facilities in
Africa.
The Coca-Cola bottling system grew up with roots deeply planted in local communities. This
heritage serves the Company well today as consumers seek
brands that honor local identity and the distinctiveness of local markets. As was true a century
ago, strong locally based relationships between Coca-Cola bottlers, customers and communities
are the foundation on which the entire business grows.
Coca-Cola Company
The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company. Along with Coca-Cola,
recognized as the world's best-known brand, the Company markets four of the world's top five
soft drink brands, including diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite, and a wide range of other beverages,
including diet and light soft drinks, waters, juices and juice drinks, teas, coffees and sports drinks.
Through the world's largest distribution system, consumers in more than 200 countries enjoy the
Company's beverages at a rate exceeding 1 billion servings each day.

important Japan market, and developing giants India and China, to tiny Pacific nations in
a Group that accounts for 33 percent of The Coca-Cola Company's operating income,

over 100,000 people. For the second year, Fortune magazine voted Mary the twelfth
most powerful woman in the business world.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
There are several steps in the production of coca cola which are given below
A) Washing
First of all the bottles are washed with very care & antiseptic liquid is used to kill the
germs.
B) Checking
C) Filling
After the filling & capping the bottles are passed in front of the tracking machine which
prints serial number on the neck of the bottle which assures the tracking.
E) Checking
After this the final checking takes place, the filled bottles are passed in front of the white
light to see that the liquid is clear & there is nothing harmful in the bottle.
PRODUCTION RATE
During whole of the process, a bottle takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to pass through all the
process, and when the production stops, then the last bottle sent on the conveyer belt is ready
after one and a half hour. So the total production time consumes about one and half hour extra.
The same plant is used for filling Sprite and Fanta bottles. So for this purpose, the production
process is to be stopped, syrup/mixture is changed and new bottles (Fanta or Sprite) are loaded
onto the conveyer belt. This changing of the bottles is called Change Over, and for this purpose,
the whole production is stopped, completed and then started again. So this changing over
requires one and half hour extra time. In this way the total production time can be calculated.
The filler fills about 7-8 bottles in a second which gives an average of 400 bottles a minute. So if
the total production time is known, we can easily calculate the units produced during a shift or a
day.
The production quantity can also be determined by another way. The total empty bottles
received from the loading department are noted, then the bottles broken, taken out due to
dirtiness, breakage, improper filling or free drinkage are noted at the end of the day or shift.
These are totaled and subtracted from the total empty bottles. This gives the number of bottles
filled during the shift

SWOT Analysis
SWOT ANALYSIS:
STRENGTHS
1. The product’s image
Coca-Cola has been an intricate part of American culture for, over a century. The product’s
image is laden with sentimentality and this is an image many people have taken deeply to
heart. The Coca-Cola image is displayed on T-shirts, hats, and collectible memorabilia. This
extremely recognizable branding is one of Coca-Cola’s greatest strengths. “Enjoyed more
than 685 million times a day around the world Coca-Cola stands as a simple, yet powerful
symbol of quality and enjoyment”.
Additionally, Coca-Cola’s bottling system is one of their greatest strengths. It allows them to
conduct business on a global scale while at the same time maintain a local approach. The
bottling companies are locally owned and operated by independent business people who
are authorized to sell products of the Coca-Cola Company. Because Coke does not have
outright ownership of its bottling network, its main source of revenue is the sale of
concentrate to its bottlers.
Coca Cola search strong, experienced parties, devoted and loyal people. Basic
requirement of them is financially strong people, devoted with product, loyal with
company and involve in their business.

3. Ineffective Management
Ineffective management perspective over the competitive situation of Pakistan that’s
why PEPSI is market leader in Pakistan.
OPPORTUNITIES
1. Introduction of Juices.
It is a big opportunity for Coca Cola to bring its juices in the market, due to good reputation
in the market there will be big room in the market for these new juices brands.
3. Brand Recognition
Brand recognition is the significant factor affecting Coke’s competitive position. Coca-Cola’s
brand name is known well throughout 90% of the world today. The primary concern over
the past few years has been to get this name brand to be even better known.
THREATS
Currently, the threat of new viable competitors in the carbonated soft drink industry is not
very substantial. The threat of substitutes, however, is a very real threat. The soft drink
industry is very strong, but consumers are not necessarily married to it. Possible substitutes
that continuously put pressure on both Pepsi and Coke include tea, coffee, juices, milk, and
hot chocolate.
The technology is changing rapidly day by day. Any company that uses the latest technology
can take competitive edge.
JOB ANALYSIS
Job analysis is a fundamental concept lies a step above from Job Description. Job analysis is the
actual requirement of the best suited candidate for doing a successful job. Minimal knowledge,
skills, and abilities are judged by each department for its position available. This approved
information by GM is then used by HR Department after analyzing the positions to perform job
to hiring the suitable candidates.
Recruitment is normally done on the required positions and not on the standby basis.
Recruitment starts whenever a supervisor or Sales Manager needs a sales person and it is first
approved by the General Manager before sending it to the HR Department.
All the vacancies are first internally advertised so that all the employees who fulfill the
requirement can avail this opportunity. If there are not any suitable persons for a particular job
then HR Department search its data bank and if there is no suitable person, then at last it is
advertised in the newspaper but it is rarely the case at Coca-Cola for the sales man. So for
recruitment purpose applications are received through:
Advertisement
Head Office
Walks ins. and Write ins.
Employees’ referrals.
Selection Process
The selection process will vary depending on the position you’re applying for, as one process
can’t fit all the different roles we have here different processes. However, in most cases a
combination of any of the following tools will be used:
Interview
Group exercises

Role plays/Situational Exercises
Fact-finding
Interview
The interview is designed to reveal more about you and your experiences. They will ask for
examples of how you behaved in different situations, maybe at school, university, a club, at
home or in previous jobs. This is not designed to 'catch you out' and our interviewers will never
try and trick you into an answer. Be honest, be yourself and it should be an enjoyable
experience.

skills and how well candidate’s are suited for a position. Candidate may be given facts and
figures to review, or a report to complete.

In short….I have spent a memorable time over here and learned a lot
from them. In the end I wish a prosperous and bright future to Coca-
Cola Beverages Pakistan Ltd.
The Coca-Cola promise and their aspirations for the 21st Century must drive their decisions and their
actions. The following recommendations are made for further betterment;
They should collaborate creatively with those who sell their products in the marketplace,
developing relationships built on mutual success, not only from their brands, but also from their
services.
They should actively cultivate a diverse, rewarding culture that encourages their people to
develop to their fullest potential, assuring enjoyment and satisfaction in the Coca-Cola work
environment.
They should intensely promote innovation as an explicit priority in every aspect of their
business, including the structures of their business.
They should consolidate resources to focus on the soft drink market and divest of other
businesses such as fruit drinks
They should continually operate as model business citizens, consistently shaping they business
decisions to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business.
Most of the outlets complaint about the lid of regular size bottle as there has been the problem
of rust on it, so it is recommended to the Company to regular feedback from the market about
the quality and distribution of product.
The job descriptions should be revised.
