CHAPTER 1
INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND
1.1 What is FMCG ?
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) or consumer packaged goods (CPG)
are products that are sold quickly and at a relatively low cost. Examples include nondurable
goods such as packaged foods, beverages, toiletries, on the counter drugs, and
other consumables. It is the 4 th largest sector in Indian economy. Three main segments of
FMCG are:
1. Household and Personal care
It accounts for 50 per cent of the sector. This segment includes health
beverages, cereals, bakery products, snacks, chocolates, ice cream,
processed fruits and vegetables, dairy products etc.
2. Healthcare
It accounts for 31 per cent of the sector. This segment includes on the
counter products and ethical.
3. Food & Beverages
It accounts for 19 per cent of the sector. This segment includes health
beverages, staples/cereals, bakery products, snacks, chocolates, ice cream,
tea/coffee/soft drinks, processed fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and
branded flour.

Financial Year
Fig 1.1 Trends in FMCG revenues over the years
The graph in figure 1.1 shows the increasing revenues accounted by the
organized FMCG companies over the years to the national economy. The data shown
in the graph are given from financial year 2011 to financial year 2017 and also
expected revenues to be made by financial year 2020.
In the financial year 2011 the revenue made was 2.0 lakh crore which increased
to 3.4 lakh crore in the financial year 2017. It is expected to account 6.7 lakh crore by
the financial year 2020.
1.3 Strategies adopted
a) Promotions and offers
FMCG companies are trying to influence consumers with intelligent
deals. Firms like ITC offers combo deals to the consumers. For example,
in the case of soaps and cosmetics; 4 soap cases are offered at the price of
3, selling the range of deodorants for men and women at a discounted price.
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 2
INDUSTRIAL BACKROUND
b) Research online purchase offline
The internet enables consumers to make their own research on the kind of
products or commodities they want to purchase.
c) New product launches
Keeping in mind the changing tastes of the Indian consumer, FMCG
companies are introducing new products to gain market share.
d) Expansion
Expanding the plants and their outlets make easy for a customer to
reach and also increasing production.
e) Customization
Product flanking: introduction of different combinations of products at
different prices, to cover as many market segments as possible.
f) Green initiatives to lower costs
FMCG companies are looking to invest in energy efficient plants to benefit
the society and lower costs in the long term.
g) Joint venture
Collaborating and having Tie-ups with other companies to customize
and have single product with a multi brand.
h) Analytics
To get analyzed all the data according to consumer requirements as
well as consumer’s requirements and manufacture product according to the
analytics.
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 3
INDUSTRIAL BACKROUND
i) Product/ category expansion
Expanding the product and the sub product as well as the categories
expansion should be done to increase the product selling.
1.4 Growth drivers for India’s FMCG sector
a) Growth to organized market
Organized sector growth is expected to grow as the share of
unorganized market in the FMCG sector fall with increased level of brand
consciousness. Growth in modern retail will augment the growth of organized
FMCG sector. Post GST and demonetization, modern trade share grew to 10
per cent of the overall FMCG revenue, as of august 2018.
b) Increase in penetration
Low penetration levels of branded products in categories like instant
foods indicating a scope for volume growth. Investment in this sector attracts
investors as the FMCG products have demand throughout the year.
c) Easy access
Availability of products has become way more easier as internet and
different channels of sales has made the accessibility of desired product to
customers more convenient at required time and place.
d) Rural consumption
Rural consumption has increased, led by a combination of increasing
incomes and higher aspiration levels, there is an increased demand for branded
products in rural India. Rural India accounts for 45 per cent of the total FMCG
market, as of 2017-18.
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 4
INDUSTRIAL BACKROUND
1.5 Opportunities in the Indian FMCG industry
a) Rural market
Leading players of consumer products have a strong distribution
network in rural India; they also stand to gain from the contribution of
technological advances like internet and e-commerce to better logistics.
b) Innovative products
Indian consumers are highly adaptable to new and innovative products.
c) Premium products
With the rise in disposable incomes, mid and high-income consumers
in urban areas have shifted their purchase trend from essential to premium
products.
d) Sourcing base
Indian and multinational FMCG players can leverage India as a
strategic sourcing hub for cost-competitive product development and
manufacturing to cater to international markets.
e) Penetration
Low penetration levels offer room for growth across consumption
categories. Major players are focusing on rural markets to increase their
penetration in those areas.
f) Online FMCG
It is estimated that 40 per cent of all FMCG purchases in India will be
online by 2020.
g) Start-up ventures
Joint ventures capital fund to invest in FMCG start-ups.

CHAPTER 4
MACHINARIES & EQUIPMENTS IN COMPANY
4.1 Material handling equipment’s
Material handling equipment is any tool used to aid in the movement,
protection, storage, and control of materials and products. The equipment used to
do so can be broken down into four main categories. Each category has a wide
variety of useful equipment that makes safely moving heavy materials or large
volumes of materials easier.
Types of material handling equipment
There are mainly four types of material handling equipment in the firm which are as
following,
1. Storage and Handling Equipment:
The title of this equipment category is pretty self-explanatory. Storage
equipment is used to hold materials while they wait to be transported from the
manufacturer or wholesaler to their final destination.
Examples of storage and handling equipment include:
(A) Racks: such as pallet racks, drive-through or drive-in racks, push-back racks,
and sliding racks
(B) Stacking frames: these are interlocking units that enable stacking of a load so
crushing doesn’t occur
(C) Shelves
(D) Bins and drawers
(E) Mezzanines: elevated floor systems that are installed between the production
floor and ceiling in order to provide additional storage space. Most of these
structures can be dismantled and moved with ease.
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 20
MACHINARIES & EQUIPMENTS IN COMPANY
2. Engineered Systems
These types of material handling equipment are typically automated units
that work together to enable efficient storage and transportation of large materials
or large volumes of materials around the production floor.
Examples of engineered systems include:
(A) AS/RS: Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (abbreviated as AS/RS)
are large automated structures that involves racks, aisles and shelves that are
accessible by a type of mechanized shuttle system (like a cherry picker) for
the quick retrieval of items.
(B) Conveyor systems: Automated conveyor systems carry heavy materials to
specified destinations using belts, flexible chain, or live rollers. It is a highly
efficient equipment to move large volumes of material quickly.
(C) Robotic delivery systems: These automated systems are ideal for moving
products on an assembly line or transporting goods throughout a plant or
warehouse.
(D) Automatic guided vehicles: These vehicles are mobile robots that follow
specific markers or wires in the floor to move large materials around a
manufacturing facility or warehouse. Vision, magnets, or lasers can also be
used as methods for AGV navigation.
3. Industrial Trucks:
Powered industrial trucks, such as forklifts, are used to move large
materials or large quantities of materials around the manufacturing floor.
Examples of industrial trucks include:
(A) Hand trucks: Also known as a dolly, or box cart. Hand trucks are L-shaped
box-moving handcarts with handles at one end, wheels at the base, and a ledge
to set objects on.

4. Bulk Material Handling Equipment
Equipment that deals with bulk handling aids in the control and
transportation of large volumes of material either in bulk or loose form. In general
the equipment is used to move loose parts from one area of the production floor to
another. Drums and hoppers can also be used to funnel loose items so they can be
easily manipulated or packaged. Bulk Material Handling Systems can also utilize
conveyor belts for horizontal transportation and elevators for vertical
transportation.
Examples of bulk material handling equipment are:
(A) Conveyor belts
(B) Stackers: Similar to forklifts, stackers help to lift and stack heavy loads on
the dock or in the warehouse.
(C) Bucket elevators: Also known as a grain leg. These elevators haul flow able
bulk materials vertically.
(D) Grain elevators: This type of equipment is used to store and move grain and
other similar materials throughout a production pathway.
(E) Hoppers: Hoppers are a container for bulk material such as grain that tapers
and discharges its materials at the bottom.

CHAPTER 6
QUALITY ANALYSIS & QUALITY CONTROL
DEPARTMENT
6.1 Quality Control
Quality assurance is "a planned and systematic means for assuring
management that the defined standards, practices, procedures, and methods of the
process are applied." "The purpose of [quality] measurement and analysis (MA) is to
develop and sustain a measurement capability used to support management
information needs.
6.2 Quality Control System
These principles each have a part to play in the overall quality management
process.
1. Raw Material Control
Raw materials are the basic ingredients used to create food products. These
could be fruit and vegetables that are farmed and harvested; cows, chickens, pigs and
sheep that are farmed for their meat, eggs and dairy products and various other items.
Naturally, raw material control is directly related to process control as raw ingredients
will need to meet certain guidelines before reaching processing phases.
2. Process Control
This principle relates to the process of food manufacturing. Ultimately,
preventative measures are used alongside corrective measures – preventative
strategies can only resolve a certain number of quality issues due to outside factors
such as environment, storage and other such conditions. Many manufacturers work
according to the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system as a result
of this unpredictability. This system focuses on food safety as well as spoilage and
other potential food risks. Total Quality Management (TQM) and ISO 9000 standards
also relate to manufacturing processes and quality guidelines.
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 39
QUALITY ANALYSIS & QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
3. Finished Product Inspection
The third principle focuses on the final product – the packaged food that is
then sold to consumers and suppliers. There are many forms of testing done at different
stages – visual observation, physical tests and chemical tests are just some examples.
Microbiological testing is very effective for determining health and sanitation
controls, with a stringent monitoring process that incorporates records, data collection
and the analysis of trends. External inspectors are also used alongside internal testers.
Systems are designed for immediate corrective action when any products have raised
red flags at any stage of the inspection, to reduce safety and hazard risks.
Here are some lab test which are performed in the company for quality control.
1. Moisture content
It is important parameter for checking its quality. Amount of moisture
determines keeping quality of namkeen and also affects texture of final product.
Procedure:
1. Take sample from finished product line.
2. Crushing the sample with help of pestle motor.
3. Take 5 gm of crushed sample and put into moisture analyzer for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes observe the result on the moisture analyzer screen.
2. Salt test
Higher salt may causes bitterness in namkeen and decrease shelf life of
namkeen.
Procedure
1. Around 2 gm crushed namkeen sample was taken into conical flask and 125
ml of distilled water.
2. Few drops of potassium chromate as indicator were added.
3. Solution was titrated with 0.1 N silver nitrate,change in colour (reddish brown
ting persists) indicates end point, blank determination using water only was
done as reference.
Salt percentage was determine using given formula.
% salt – Titrate value x 0.1 N AgNo₃ x 5.485
Weight of sample taken
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 40
QUALITY ANALYSIS & QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
3. Acidity test
Higher acidity reduces shelf life of namkeen and increases sourness.
Procedure
1. 5 gm crushed namkeen sample (10 ml for juice) was taken into conical flask.
2. 50 ml distilled water added to sample.
3. Then few drops of 1% phenolphthalein indicator added.
4. Solution was titrated with 0.1 N SODIUM HYDROXIDE.
5. Change in colour (light pink colour persist) indicates end point and titrate value
was noted
Acid percentage is calculating using given formula.
% acidity – Titrate value x 0.1 N NaOh x 0.064 x 100
(for namkeen) Weight of sample taken
% acidity – Titrate value x 0.1 N NaOh x 0.007 x 100
(for juice) Weight of sample taken
4. Peroxide value
It is measuring the peroxide contained in the oil. It indicates age of sample.
Detection of peroxide gives initial evidence of rancidity in unsaturated oils.
Procedure
1. Take 4 to 5 gm of sample is accurately weighed into dried 250 ml flask.
2. To that, 25 ml of solvent (mix of 2 volume of glacial acetic acid and 1 volume
of chloroform) is added and mix homogeneously.
3. 1 ml of potassium iodide solution is added and allow to stand in dark for 1
minute.
4. After 1 minute, 1 ml distilled water and 1 ml starch indicator was added and
titrated against 0.01N SODIUM THIOSULPHATE from 10 ml volumetric
burette.
5. End point is disappearance of blue colour, peroxide value was determined
using following formula.
Peroxide value – Titrate value x 0.1 N THIOSULPHATE x 1000
Weight of sample
Department of Agricultural Engineering, SOE, RK University 41
QUALITY ANALYSIS & QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
5. Free Fatty Acid (FFA)test
Higher free fatty acid causes hydrolytic rancidity with degrades quality of
cooking and frying oils.
Procedure
1. About 20 gm of vegetable oil is weighed accurately into 250 ml conical flask.
2. 50 ml of solvent prepare by mixing equal volume of 90% Alcohol and Diethayl
ether are added.
3. Swirled well and titrated against 0.05N NaOH with phenolphthalein as
indicator till light pink colour appears free fatty acid was determined using
given formula.
FFA % – Titrate value x 0.05 N NaOh x 28.2
Weight of sample
4. Quality assurance
Quality is the fitness of the product for use by consumers. The management of
the quality shall be done at all levels of production (from receiving and handling of
raw materials to storage of finished product) to ensure that quality attributes conform
to the specification as stipulated in Appendix.
1. Raw materials
