I. Background of the Business

LIVESTOCK is an important sector of agriculture in Pakistan. Pakistan is the 5th largest milk producing country in the world. The annual milk production is 33 billion litres. 97%milk is produced in the informal sector. Only 3% of the total production of milk is processed and marketed through proper channel. The concept of opening a business center came from the need for fresh, quality and pure milk. People dont trust milk men because the containers in which they deliver milk are very often in wretched and pathetic condition. Tetra pack milk is good in quality but it is not fresh. Keeping in mind all these factors we came up with the resolution of delivering fresh and pure milk. Secondly the business has come up with the unique idea of delivering freshly baked bread along with milk. Bread is the daily consumed item of breakfast and normally it becomes difficult to go to the market and get fresh bread daily. The area of concentration for these services is Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Hi milk n slice will supply fresh, hygienic and quality milk in transparent bottles along with freshly baked bread to the general public.

III. Objectives and Goals

The company will be committed to doing whatever is needed to guarantee customer satisfaction with the companys products and customer services.

A. Profit plan

First of all we will build profitable relationships and create customer delight, by observing the following;

Good quality Healthy and safety Reasonable price scale / cost Delivery Speed Moral values 8

WHAT CUSTOMERS BUY?

Customers do not buy products and services; they want solutions of problems, and fulfillments of their needs and wants. Milk and bread is the essential need and want of every home. And in every home it is used for different purposes. Currently, customers main focus is quality. The quality of milk provided by the milk man is not satisfactory whereas the other source of getting milk is Tetra pack milk which has good quality but is not fresh and is expensive and everyone cannot afford to buy it. So, quality is no longer a desirable option. Other factors are also involved.

Productivity Quality Competitive price

ITS A KEY TO SURVIVAL So, we are offering good quality fresh milk in clean transparent glass bottles on time in a good and presentable manner not like casual milk man along with bread. Through this we will build profitable relationships with customers and get more / high sales then start getting profit. If we start earning good profit at a large scale we will expand the business and will offer butter, cheese, cream as well. PRICE IN GENERAL MARKET

IV. Definition of the Market

A. Target Market:
The target market of our product is the people living in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. We are targeting the middle and the upper middle and higher classes. Our product especially targets those people who are not satisfied with both the quality and hygienic conditions of the milk provided by the milk man, or they are not satisfied by the taste or freshness of the tetra pack milk. Secondly it also targets the people who are fed up of going to the market and getting bread.

14

The milk and bread supplied by the company would be fresh, economical and of best quality. We would ensure the quality and freshness of our product to meet customer expectations. Market segmentation: After the identification of target market we would determine whether any of those areas are large enough and has sufficient buying power to generate profits or to cover the cost.

B. Market Analysis
We analyzed the market by carrying out market research by distributing questionnaires and conducted interviews which showed the exact percentage of the customers in different areas. Our research showed that in the initial stages of the business we will have more than 200-300 potential customers both in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

C.

Competitors Analysis

Companys competitors are the local milk men and the tetra pack milk e.g. Olpers, Halla, Nestle, Haleeb, Prema, Everyday, Nido, Prime dairies and Dairy farm milk. Many of the consumers are unsatisfied with the quality and hygienic conditions of the milk distributed by the milk man and the milk of tetra pack is not fresh. We would supply milk fresh from the dairy farm in the glass bottles and each of our van would deliver the milk to the targeted areas from which we would take orders before the delivery and advance payments for the whole month. We would ensure that quality of the milk is the best and it is delivered in a proper hygienic condition. Our vans would deliver fresh milk in the morning from the farm to the customers. This will keep the quality and freshness of the milk and could give us competitive advantage.

In terms of providing bread at the doorsteps, the business has no such competitor however the regular bread is available at every store and bakery but no one is providing the facility at doorstep. The milk man sells the milk at an average rate of 65 rupees per litre where as tetra pack charge 75 rupees per litre. The price of our milk also gives us competitive advantage as we would be selling our milk for 75 rupees per litre and 40 rupees half litre with free home delivery service. The price of bread will be Rs 50.

15

D. Industry analysis:
While doing the business we have to be aware of what other companies are doing. When our company conducted industry analysis we analyzed the prices the competitors were offering. The second thing analyzed was, that they introduce different packages like Haleeb offered the whole family package. The farm milk suppliers offer other dairy products like yogurt, butter, cheese, cream, ghee etc We also analyzed the processor capacity of various milk processing companies.
Processors Nestle HFL Millac Vita Halla Capacity (Million liters) 1.3 0.9 0.3 0.05 0.15

Table 4: Milk processing capacity of companies

E. SWOT analysis
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.

16

Strengths: Dairy industry is the major source of food i.e. milk, meat, butter, cream, cheese, ghee. There is an extensive scope of milk production as Pakistan is the 5th largest milk producing country in the world. The business will provide High Quality, pure, fresh and hygienic milk to its customers Delivering fresh bread with milk is a new concept Free delivery at the doorstep of the customers. Business will use the valuable concept of Total Quality Management

Weaknesses: Maintenance and sustainability of quality of the two products (milk & bread) is a challenging and demanding task. The business is a new entrant in the market. Business lacks the brand power.

Opportunities: Government of Pakistan and institutions like, SMEDA are taking immense interest in developing the dairy sector. Dairy products needs are much higher than the supply. Supplying fresh milk in glass bottles is a new and unique idea in Pakistan. It has not been used by any company in the country.

Threats: Monopoly of multinational firms. General public is usually resistant to change and hesitate to adapt quickly to new products. Competition in the market. Bargaining power of suppliers Risk of rejection of the idea by the masses.

V. Description of the Product

A. Product
Product that is to be offered to the public is Fresh milk. Pure, hygienic and quality milk is an essential requirement for people of all ages. Both cow and buffalo milk contains essential nutrients. It contains calcium, vitamin B complex, butterfat vitamin C, lactose and other nutrients. Our companys aim is to provide the customers with

17

quality fresh milk containing all the natural nutrients. Company will be supplying fresh milk and milk will not be pasteurized or treated in any manner. The name Hi Milk stands for; Hygienic, healthy and high quality. The other product offered by the business is bread. Bread is an essential item of breakfast in every home. Bread provides essential nutrients and must be included in the daily diet plan. B. Packaging Packaging has three main purposes: 1. Protection. 2. Preservation. 3. Making the product look more attractive to potential buyers. Use of non-biodegradable plastics in chemical drums Non-biodegradable plastics are used for the manufacturing of chemical drums to store chemical. Some chemicals are very injurious to human health and they may be highly acidic and basic in nature. The milk men and some small hotel owners used these drums to store milk and water. The chemical effect in the drum cannot be removed whether we wash it many times. These drums are also used to store pesticides. These chemicals react with water and milk and are causing serious health damage to human beings. Therefore, our company will use transparent glass bottles. The bottles used for the purpose will be plain and simple. Glass is a heat insulator and will help in preventing the milk from getting spoilt in summers. Secondly, glass bottles will be reused after proper washing. Milk will be available in bottles in two sizes i.e. 1 litre or 1000 ml & litres or 500 ml. Bread will be packed in polythene bag with the companys logo on it. C. Delivery Four air-conditioned vans will be used for delivery purpose. These vans will have proper containers for keeping the bottles. In addition there will be three motorbikes for the transportation in nearby areas. D. Research and Development Status Research regarding obtaining milk and maintaining its quality has been completed. First, questionnaires were distributed and interviews were conducted to get peoples response about the product and then areas having potential customers were identified. Milk procurement will be outsourced. Contract will be made with a local farmer and fresh milk will be obtained on daily basis. Milk will be directly filled in the glass bottles and will be delivered at the doorstep of the customers.

18

VI. Management Structure

A. Who will enact the Plan The owners of the organization will enact the overall plan. Major responsibility will be delegated to the manager who will formalize the implementation and execution of the plan. B. Communication There would be an informal type of communication where employees would be free to express their views with the manager. C. Employee Policies There would be clear policies and guidelines regarding employees work.
