Introduction:
Shipping is an important department of NBC. It serves middleman role between production &
sales department. The department is responsible for on time availability of empty and liquid
stock and for this purpose it performs the following functions:
The basic difference between the direct and the indirect delivery system is that in a direct
distribution system, the company spends its own resources while in an indirect distribution; the
dealer spends his own resources on all the factors which increases the sales volume. The
direct delivery system is only present in Gujranwala. The following diagram shows the
difference between direct & indirect delivery system;
Following warehouses are used by NBC for storage of empties & liquid bottles.
New empty is purchased within the country or is imported from the suppliers as per
requirement. Shipping department decides that from where & in what quantity the empty is
required. New empty is purchased within the country from following suppliers,
After receiving (at pepsi town go-down), the purchased empty is verified by quality
assurance Q.A. department & the quality control pass (Q.C. pass) stickers are stamped
at their cartons by the Q.A. department.
The consignment is unloaded at empty go-down (i.e. at modern soap go-down).
Empties are transferred manually & inspected for breakage.
Cases are transferred to production plant as per requirement on empty movement slip.
The empty stock in charge maintains daily stock’s physical report.
When the following go-downs have unlimited space, the remaining empty is unloaded at Pepsi
town go-down;
i. Taran Taran.
ii. Modern Soap.
iii. Qabza Factory.
And when the storage is available at the above mentioned go-downs, the empty is returned
back to those go-downs.
The vehicle (company’s owned) is loaded with liquid from registered go-down 1 & a
liquid clearance slip is issued to the vehicle.
This vehicle takes that liquid at following warehouses as per demand;
o Duty paid go-down 1
o Duty paid go-down 2
The liquid is unloaded & clearance slip is handed over to the shipping department
concerned person (Clearance Boy).
The received liquid from excise is recorded in the liquid stock register.
The vehicle (of dealer & sales person etc) carry’s its liquid out slip containing the details
regarding the liquid details.
The liquid out slip is handed over to the shipping loader who is responsible for loading
the vehicle as mentioned in liquid out slip.
The hired labors & fork lifters load the truck under the supervision of shipping loader.
At gate, the vehicle is verified according to the values at liquid out slip in order to avoid
shortage/excess.
The liquid delivery slip is issued & the vehicle is allowed to leave.
The liquid is issued to three parties;
o Sales person
o NBC depots
o Distributors
The stock in charge deducts the liquid that is moved out & ensures that the remaining
liquid is correctly recorded at the registers.
The pallets are loaded on the trucks with the help of fork lifters. The PET bottles are extra
covered with plastic packaging. The liquid is stored in a safe place (i.e. under shed) where the
goods are safe from sunlight, rainfall, moisture & other intimidation. The post mix syrup tanks &
NR glasses are also responsibility of shipping department. All these items are stored
separately & are handled with great care. Also the each go-down has its own depot in charge
& he is responsible for the stocks of both empties and liquid present there. These finished
goods are stored in following go-downs;
o DPG-1
o DPG-2 (Only for the loading of Base Market vehicles)
o DPG-3 (Attawa)
The issuance of goods is based on FIFO method. The records are kept shift wise. Following
reports are prepared at shipping department according to their need;
Suggestions
a. The department should not hire labor on contractor basis it’s not justice with them, the
department should hire the labor itself, it will encourage the labors & work will be done
more effectively insha-ALLAH.
b. Unethical ways should be avoided regarding the empty of competitors (i.e. One who has
faith in ALLAH never cheats anybody).
c. The post mix (syrup) tanks should have an asset id code embedded on them.
d. At unloading of cases from customer’s (i.e. distributor, sales person, and retailer) trucks,
the use of slide can increase the efficiency of labor in putting the cases down.
