EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SECTOR :FMCG (Consumer goods)
INDUSTRY :Packaged and Snack Foods Industry
COMPANY :Frito-Lay India Ltd.
PROJECT TITLE : Assessment and Development of New
Channels of Distribution
DURATION : 2 months (1st JANEVARI to 1st MARCH)
PROJECT :
Problem: Theres a complex web of distribution channels for the FMCG products
in general and packaged and snack foods in particular, but not all the channels yield the
fruitful results. Some infect, yields results even lesser than what resources they consume.
Then there is a simple fundamental of Whatever is visible, sells in FMCG
impulse category. The above two conditions put the companies into a typical CATCH 22
situation.
Solution: Development and Assessment of New Channels for distribution. New
channels lead to the increased penetration of the Frito-Lays products. At the same time,
the new channels were assessed for the sales and level of penetration in terms of the new
sales addition.

IMPORTANCE OF STUDY :
In a world full of competition, it is not at all sufficient to rely just on ones
own Companys standing and distribution channel in the market. It is equally important to
know and predict the channels performance and hidden potential of new channels that sell
innovatively, in a way never thought of. Channel analysis, apart from covering the most
essential concepts of distribution, gives the wide exposure to the field.
Also, a company however strongly channelized and preferred does not
works in isolation. Thus, I found it more than required to do a project on development ofnew distribution channel as a whole rather than just one companys traditional channel
performance.
METHODOLOGY :
Sample Plan : New channels Medical stores
Hotels
Institutional Canteens
Petrol Pumps
Method :
Stratified Random Cluster Sampling method was adopted. The revealed
research was adopted, where the information about the objective of survey and brand
identity was revealed. The sample size was taken around 12% of the universe in case of
Medical stores because of very big size of universe of around 900. The sample size for
Institutional canteens and Hotels was in the region of 15% to 17% of the universe, which
was of size around 350 and 600 respectively. The sample size for petrol pumps was 85%
because of very limited size of universe at 40.
Area of Survey: SHIRUR

HYPOTHESES :Some of the important hypotheses considered while adopting a particular
marketing strategy are discussed here. The study has been conducted by keeping these
entire hypotheses in mind. Later a detailed analysis is conducted on the basis of the
primary and the secondary data collected and conclusions are drawn out of it. The entire
hypotheses are considered again and their usefulness is studied. After this, acceptance or
rejection of these hypotheses is recommended to the authorized dealers and same is
conveyed to the respective officials of Frito-Lays.
The hypotheses are mentioned below:
1) Effective distribution network increases the dealer and consumer satisfaction
and brings more goodwill to the company
2) Knowledge of customer behavior, reaction pattern and hence its manipulation
is extremely helpful in increasing the total market.
3) Effective promotional activities increase the sales,
4) Knowledge of competitors strengths, weaknesses and competitive advantage
helps in designing the strategies to deal with it.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
FMCG SECTOR
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry has a long history. However, the
Indian FMCG industry began to take shape only during the last fifty-odd years. To date,
the Indian FMCG industry continues to suffer from a definitional dilemma. In fact, the
industry is yet to crystallize in terms of definition and market size, among others.
The FMCG sector is a cornerstone of the Indian economy. This sector can drive
growth, enhance quality of life, create jobs and support penetration of technology.
A vibrant FMCG sector can boost agricultural produce and exports. It can
contribute to the exchequer significantly; disperse technology across the value chain and
usher in product innovations. These innovations can improve Indian health standards.
So, strategies should be worked out for increasing consumption per head. The
government should grant merit tax status at the central level to higher value-addedFMCGs and allow free inflows of foreign investments and technology.
The agricultural supply chain needs to be consolidated. Sector-friendly regulations
should be put in place to enable FMCG companies source agricultural produce with ease.
Such regulations should be supported by government-sponsored efforts to forge fruitful
partnerships for networking rural markets. This is one sure way of achieving national
connectivity.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Research methodology is a systematic and scientific method to know truth and
reality behind a phenomenon. Research is purposive, objective; systematic investigation
was designed to test carefully considered or answer through fully framed question. It is
distinguished from casual observation by its method and point of view. Research is
purposive in that it seeks answer to specific question and is not merely accumulation of
unstructured observation.
The project is based on marketing analysis and thus requires a lot of interaction
with different target channel players. There are lot many competitors in snack food
industry. Constrained by the resources, the sample that is more representative of the total
targeted channel players universe is chosen for the study. The scope of study is limited tothe geographical region of Nasik city only.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The exploratory design was used. Exploratory research is conducted when a
researcher does not know: What? How? and Why? A certain phenomena occur. For
example, which competing products are available at targeted outlets and reasons for not
keeping the product under study i.e. Frito-Lays. The research process was divided into
three phases as:
Phase 1:
The research is focused on the hidden business potential in the form of new
Distribution channels so that the forms of new channels were found out through
observational primary data in initial market research.
25
7/29/2019 Sip Swapnil

FRITO LAY INDIA.
Phase 2:
In the second phase, again primary data was collected from the selected
sample for the purpose of delving deeper into the areas of:
Which other impulse products in snack food were they keeping, if any?
Were they ready to keep Frito-lays products?
Reasons for not keeping the same?
The structured questionnaire contained closed-ended questions, which were
of dichotomous questions and multiple choice questions.
Phase 3:
In the last phase, the converted players in each segment of targeted channel forms
were analyzed for the gain in off-take of extra SKUs that were otherwise not visible
before. It was done in the terms of Per Outlet Order (POO) from each of the targeted
segment.
DECIDING OF DATA SOURCES
The next stage is source of data. The data was basically the first hand data,
(Primary) which was collected through the survey facilitated by secondary data as
explained below:
Primary Data:
The primary data was collected through the survey in two phases. The first
phase was the observational survey followed by the detailed structured questionnaire
interview survey. In the first phase, the data was collected in a very short period as it
involved only observations and led to the important findings that though some outlets of a
particular type kept the product under study, but not all such outlets kept it uniformly.
26
7/29/2019 Sip Swapnil
27/72
FRITO LAY INDIA.
In the second phase, survey involved collection of data from the Hotels,
Institutional Canteens, Petrol Pumps, and Medical Stores. These were the targeted new
channels sought for Assessment and Development. The samples were collected by visiting
different areas in SHIRUR city. Thus method of stratified random sampling was used for
data collection.
Structured questionnaires were designed to elicit data from the sample
population. Following sample sizes were drawn for the same.
The total number of respondents was 305.
The break-up is as follows-
Hotels : 105
Petrol Pumps : 34
Institutional Canteens : 55
Medical Stores : 111
Secondary Data:
The secondary data was collected from various trade journals regarding the
total size of the targeted segments of potential new channels i.e. the size of universe in the
geographical area of SHIRUR city.
To get an overview in a nutshell, the research methodology can be represented
through-
Research Design Four segmental surveys (Hotels, Petrol Pumps, Institutional
Canteens and Medical Stores);
Research Instrument Structured Questionnaires;
Survey Questions Mostly closed ended with some open ended questions on
personal details;
Sampling Method Stratified Random Sampling;

IMPORTANCE OF STUDY
The survey that was carried out will help the company to know the current
scenario. In the world of cut throat competition each player has to be strong enough to face
the enormous uncertainties. Todays market is very much saturated. Every company today
wants to do its business in a new way and therefore tries to recognize new channels for
distribution.
This study will help Frito lays India Ltd., having international presence to
understand which new areas it can venture into with its current products in new markets
and hence cover untapped areas through the development of new channels. Also, this
project will help the company to make its presence more obvious in the market. Thus the
company can plan better policies to overcome sudden changes in this competitive world.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The primary objective of the project was to assess the current position of Frito-
lays in the Nasik region and try to identify the strategies to drive sales.
The secondary objective pursued was to find out market potential for Frito-Lays productsin new channels of distribution and to study product acceptability by new channels of
distribution.
Keeping these in mind, the survey was divided over the four potential segments
and the survey in general included the questions regarding the availability of other impulse
snack food products, their knowledge and source of knowledge for Frito-Lays products,
their readiness to keep the products and the reasons for same.

A sales promotion effort of the company has led to the highest awareness of
Lays, Kurume amongst the people in SHIRUR city.
Majority of the brands are known by TV ads followed by posters and Banners.
Newspaper and Magazines play a minor role in creating awareness.
From the availability of different impulse product in different channels we can
say that in the impulse products category Frito-lays Company also has potential
for its products.
Frito-lays products has good amount of potential in the mention channels of
distribution.
The respondent who rejected the idea of keeping Frito-lay products in different
channels had different reasons like margin problem, space problem, demand
problem and some other reasons.
Among all the assessed channels of distribution, Petrol pumps had highest
acceptability towards Frito-lays products.
In the process of entering into the new channels of distribution, Frito-lay
products were effectively developed in Hotels and on Petrol pumps. But
Average sales for Medical stores and Institutional canteens were very less in
the beginning.
Among all the potential channels, Petrol pump has highest POO followed by
Hotels, Medical stores and Institutional canteens have the least POO compare
to them. From this we can see that Frito-lays product have more potential in the
new channels, which has still not acquire.
As it is seen that newly developed has more average sale then of traditionalchannels, we can say that Frito-lay products have good potential in these new

channels also and can give more incremental business if proper steps
implemented.
SUGGESTIONS:
For developing all the assessed potential channels salespersons should be
well trained. Different outlets to be visited by a salesman should be well
defined and information to the salesman in the consideration of the route to
which it is situated.

This would reduce the repetitive visit to the same outlets, which will
eliminate the unproductive elements loss of man-hour and most important
time.
For the brands like Cheetos and Lehar, all the channels assessed were least
aware of it so company should promote only Lays and Kurume for first few
months and then simultaneously make efforts to promote Cheetos and
Lehar also.
As it is a non-retailing business, its structures is different than traditional
channels. So company should make separate distribution pattern for it.
The visibility factor would be major area of concern for Petrol pumps. So
company should take maximum benefit of space of Petrol pump to display
products. It will help the company to attract consumers.
As impulse products like Coke, Biscuits and Cadbury are mainly available
in these channels company has got potential to promote their brands in
these outlets.
Company should not go for adding more flavors as have already enough
no. of flavors this will avoid confusion
