ABOUT INDUSTRTY
OVERVIEW:
The health food industry, a $4-billion-dollar-a-year business in the early 1990s, wasfounded on the fact that American consumers increasingly regarded health as a primaryconcern when buying food.
The average food bill per individual at that time was more than four thousand dollars per
year, of which almost half was spent on food away from home. As people became more concerned about healthful food in the 1980s and 1990s,
consumption of organic foods increased. Because they are cultivated without syntheticadditives, fertilizers, or pesticidessome of which are proven carcinogens that oftenleach into public water suppliesorganic foods are better for consumers because manypesticides are systemic, meaning that the food absorbs so that they cannot be washed off.
Beside natural foods, food supplements such as vitamins and herbalproducts made up alarge part of the health food industry. These supplements constituted a form of alternativemedicine for people disenchanted with over-the-counter drugs and concerned about sideeffects of pharmaceuticals. Despite Food and Drug Administration regulationsprohibiting the manufacturers of food supplements from making specific medical claims,
sales of herbal supplements rose 70 percent to $22.7 million in supermarkets alone during1993.
The health food industrybonanza was largely based on the connection made by thescientific community between disease and fatty foods, and on the fact that the averageconsumer ate more than sixty-five pounds of fat each year.
Many manufacturers began to make processed foods with low-fat and low-calorieingredients and claimed that these products were more healthful and more nutritious thanthe more standard options.

HEALTH FOOD PRODUCTS:
Indian health drinks market is still in its infancy due to the lack of awareness among the
population. In value terms, the health food drink market is around Rs 1, 400 crore and in
volume terms around 65,000 tonnes per annum.
Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) with four brands - Horlicks, Boost, Viva and Maltova - is the
leader in Indian health drink market. Complan, GluconD from Heinz India and Cadbury
India's Bournvita are also popular among the Indian health drink brands.
According to retail audit unit ORG Marg, GSK with four brands in the category Horlicks,
Boost, Viva and Maltova - has a 70 per cent volume market share and Complan's share is
13 per cent.
ABOUT DIFFERENT HEALTH PRODUCTS STRATEGIES:
No doubt, Horlicks is the leading health drink brands in India since 1930, immediately
after its launch in the country. Horlicks is sold in a number of countries across the world.
In different countries, the product has different formulations in order to cater to varying
consumer segments and serve different consumer needs. In India, the Horlicks available
has been scientifically developed and specifically caters to the nutritional needs of the
Indian diet. It helps meet the requirements of essential nutrients in children, such as iron
and vitamins that aid iron absorption.
Boost is health food drink (HFD), which is positioned on the energy platform in India.
Developed by the Indian R&D team in 1974, and launched in 1975-76 in Kerala, Boost
has been one of the fastest growing brands in the Indian GSK Consumer portfolio.
Realising that the energy segment had a huge potential, GSK India launched the brand as
the 'Vitaminised Energy Fuel' with a unique chocomalt taste. The brand was launched
nationally in the early 80s and has always been targeted at 8-14 year old boys. This is the
section of population most enthusiastic about sports, and also with high-energy needs, in
India.

According to GSK sources, Viva is based on the belief that a good start to the day ensures
that rest of it goes well too. New Viva is Vitahelth, combination of nine essential
vitamins (vitamin A, C, D, B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin and Folic acid), Iron, Phosphorus
and Calcium. Viva contains a natural goodness of milk, wheat and malted barley.
Maltova, a chocolate health food drink, was acquired from Jagjit Industries in Feb 2000.
According to GSK official sources, to kids Maltova is the fun health drink, which is
extreamly tasty and makes nourishment truly enjoyable and exciting. It was relaunched in
June 2002 with an enriched formulation and improved packaging. The relaunched
Maltova had active rechargers, a combination of essential vitamins, minerals and
carbohydrates. Maltova has again been restaged in November 2004, with an attractive
new packaging that connotes an extreamely high taste appeal and a sense of fun and
excitement.
American foods major H J Heinz's Indian arm Heinz India has a strong market presence
with brands like Complan and Glucon-D. Complan contributes 40 per cent to Heinz's
sales. Heinz's most profitable products are Complan and GluconD. Even Glucon D has
shed its health tag and repositioned itself as a fun drink. In 2001, Heinz launched a slew
of new products - coffee flavoured Complan. Complan is ideal for convalescents and the
elderly - complete nutrition when you're off your food , pregnant and nursing mothers
provides vitamins and minerals necessary for good health , busy people - a satisfying
lunchtime snack at home or at work , athletes - who require fluid, carbohydrate and high
quality protein without the bulk of solid food.
In early 1990s Cadbury reentered the health drink market with Bournvita, the product of
essential vitamins and minerals with memorable campaigns based on the 'Tan ki Shakti,
Man ki Shakti'. The next big breakthrough happened in 1999 when the brand was re-
launched with a new RDA Balanced Formula. The brand was re-launched with a
completely new identity in 2001. Bournvita has a unique taste that combines the
goodness of malt and chocolate.

Due to severe competition, KHFP is in the process of reviewing its supply chain for
a) Cost reduction
b) Enhancing customer service.
The management is planning to reduce the inventory to less than 10 days at factory &
C&F agents.
The distribution cost on the present level of sales is at the rate of 8.5%, which they want
to reduce by 40%.
In addition they want to reduce inbound transportation cost by proper planning &
scheduling.
ALTERNATIVE NO 1.
1.>INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:
Reduce the inventory at warehouse i.e. from 15-18 to 12-15.
This can be done by providing discounts to C&F agents at 3% discount rate.
This would automatically provide a benefit of discounts to stockiest, wholesalers via C&F
agents.
Hence ultimate result would be that the inventory level at warehouse would lower down &
thereby at C&F agents, stockiest & warehouse.
2.>TRANSPORT CHECK:
The transport facility should be a good one as it is a major factor.
21
8/14/2019 Bench Marking Health Care
22/27
The energy in terms of fuels and hence costs which is waisted in standing of trucks at check
posts now can be saved.
The company can be relieved by regular challans on transports.
Training of truck drivers could enhance their speed of work.
3.>FORECASTING IMPROVEMENT:
TIME-SERIES FORECASTING METHOD:
The goal of any forecasting method is to predict the systematic components of demand and
estimate the random component.
Companies should develop both static & adaptive method for forecasting.

13. CONCLUSION
23
8/14/2019 Bench Marking Health Care
24/27
After surveying & interacting with Global Logic HR Head, we came to the conclusion about company's
work culture & its cross cultural, their innovations in that & if any comparisons are their. By going
through the questionnaire, it was found that the work culture differs from that of global presence i.e.
Ukraine and coming to the comparisons part there are differences but, the information couldn't be carried
out because of lack of information. As discussed earlier the operations differ here & globally so
comparisons parts were not fully recognized.
Coming to the internal part the work load at different level is quite reasonable .They can approach their
seniors easily. The co-ordination between different departments is good. While in Ukraine it differs in
some matter in their work culture.Programmes for stress management & employees are provided with
training whenever needed for performance enhancement. Equal opportunities are there for both Men &
Women. Employees should have more freedom of trying out new things & they should not be afraid of
making mistakes. By doing this, they can be more innovative.
In all we extracted that the Cross Culture ofGlobal Logic is appreciating.
14. RECOMMENDATIONS
24
8/14/2019 Bench Marking Health Care
25/27
Few recommendations have been put with a view that implementation of those can give an improved
picture of the organizational Cross Culture & its comparisons of Global Logic.
Company should take proper actions to build good Cross Cultural Relationships & make the same
implementations in their Ukraine & China presence.
Though the company is concerned about their software development programmes,they should
also look into Cross Cultural comparisons & also into its new innovations.
