...& Outbound Logistics: Unilever had put a five-year strategy plan, called the “path to growth” to transform its inbound logistics in way that increases efficiency and saves money to be invested elsewhere outside the business. This plan started in North America by integrating six operating business and emerging 3 supply chains. The philosophy of this change was to create one single set of distribution centers that attain the 24hour delivery plan to the customer. Transportation companies were reorganized and chosen by Unilever for their suppliers (Harp, 2002). The whole transportation process was developed on a web-based structure. Transportation leadership team was formed to tackle more ways to reduce cost and time. Operations: During 2011, Unilever has invested in ERP systems from SAP which resulted in $1 billion savings of procurement expenses. In the aim to...

...Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) or consumer packaged goods (CPG) are products that are sold quickly and at relatively low cost. The term FMCGs refers to those retail goods that are generally replaced or fully used up over a short period of days, weeks, or months, and within one year. This contrasts with durable goods or major appliances such as kitchen appliances, which are generally replaced over a period of several years. FMCG have a short shelf life, either as a result of high consumer demand or because the product deteriorates rapidly. Some FMCGs – such as meat, fruits and vegetables, dairy products and baked goods – are highly perishable. Other goods such as alcohol, toiletries, pre-packaged foods, soft drinks and cleaning products have high turnover rates. An excellent example is a newspaper- every day's newspaper carries different content, making one useless just one day later, necessitating a new purchase every day. The following are the main characteristics of FMCGs:[1] • From the consumers' perspective: • Frequent purchase • Low involvement (little or no effort to choose the item – products with strong Brand loyalty are exceptions to this rule) • Low price • From the marketers' angle: • High volumes • Low contribution margins • Extensive distribution networks • High stock turnover Examples include non-durable goods such as soft drinks, toilees, and grocery items.[1][2] Though the absolute profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they generally...

Agarwal & Mr. R. S. Goenka, Emami Ltd., a flagship company of Emami Group, is one of the leading FMCG players engaged in manufacturing & marketing of personal care & healthcare products. With over 300 diverse products, Emami’s portfolio includes trusted power brands like Zandu, Boroplus, Navratna, Fair & Handsome, Mentho Plus, Fast Relief & Sona Chandi Chyawanprash. Triggers We expect Emami’s Net Sales & PAT to grow by 16.9% & 219.7% respectively over FY12-14. Growth momentum could continue in its power brands viz Boroplus, Navratna, Fair & Handsome & Zandu, led by higher A&P spends, distribution expansion and brand extensions. The management aims to grow each of its power brands to Rs 8-10 bn over the next 5 years. Strong R&D & aggressive marketing & distribution would continue to support portfolio expansion, like in the past. The company’s sub-segmentation strategy of launching variants and brand extensions has worked out well. Emami is a market leader in under penetrated segments like Fairness cream, Antiseptic cream and Cold cream market.

...CONTE N T S CHAI R M A N ’ S LETTE R DEAR SH AREH OL DERS FY2012 has been a good year for your Company. The key financial results were: ¥ Consolidated revenues increased by 30% to Rs. 96.7 billion in FY2012. ¥ Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)1 rose by 55% to Rs. 25.4 billion. ¥ Profit after Tax (PAT)2 grew by 45% to Rs. 15.3 billion. ¥ Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) increased from Rs. 64.9 in FY2011 to Rs. 83.8 in FY2012. I am particularly delighted by four developments. First, your Company succeeded in yet another blockbuster generic launch in the USA under 180days marketing exclusivity. Dr. Reddy’s launched olanzapine 20 mg tablets, the generic version of the brand Zyprexa®. Olanzapine is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This product has added around USD 100 million to your Company’s revenues for FY2012. Second, the biosimilars business continues along its impressive growth path. In my letter to you last year, I had discussed the critical importance of developing biosimilars in the years to come. I am happy to note that your Company’s global biosimilars business grew by 45% over last year and recorded sales of USD 26 million. Today, the biosimilars portfolio of Dr. Reddy’s constitutes (i) filgrastim, (ii) peg-filgrastim, (iii) rituximab and (iv) darbepoetin alfa, which have commercial presence in 13 countries among emerging markets. These are helping to treat patients suffering from cancer — and at prices that...

...Union Budget 2014-15 10th July, 2014 Union Budget 2014-15 Budget 2014-15 Holistic Plan of Action In comparison to the less than ordinary and unimaginative budgetary proposals of yester years, Modi’s maiden budget comes as a welcome change from the norm. The proposals and reforms suggested in the Union Budget 2014-15 are ground breaking, specific with a good measure of thought & common sense and vastly catered for holistic growth of the economy. The challenging circumstances of a slowing economy, soaring energy prices, inflation, fiscal and current account deficits do not provide adequate leeway to maneuver and hit the path of high growth. Yet the Budget provides a comprehensive plan and directional footprint towards overcoming these hurdles to sustainable growth of 7-8% over the next few years along with providing macro economic stability, lowered inflation, realistic fiscal health targeting and a manageable current account deficit. Country is in no mood to suffer unemployment & apathetic governance 10th July, 2014 Union Budget 2014-15 Budget 2014-15 Holistic Plan of Action The Finance Minister while presenting the budget takes cognizance of the fact that decisive action to fuel growth without populism is the need of the hour. And that resources for developmental expenditure cannot be raised at the cost of burdening the future generations with the legacy of debt. He goes on to emphasize the need to mobilize resources through both tax and non-tax...
