Vedica Natural Mountain Water comes to you in all its untouched purity, right from its
source. Gushing from an aquifer with intense pressure, the natural mountain water is
pushed above the ground surface to a height of 5 meters above ground level, powerfully
and consistently. The underground geological origin guarantees that there is no external
Contamination, since the mouth of the water source is covered from rocks on all sides.
Besides, being naturally fortified with silica, the spring is naturally free form any
Microbial infection or pollution. Vedica Natural Mountain Water is also low on sodium,
making it the perfect choice for the health conscious. It has a high proportion of
sulphates, which work as natural detoxifying agents. And it’s clear, sweet taste proves
that it is free of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate salts, which give some
mineral waters a chalky taste. Scientifically put, the Total Dissolved Solids in Vedica
Natural Mountain Water is225mg/ltr. It is also high in sulphates, the natural detoxifying
agents. Ensuring that all you get with Vedica Natural Mountain Water is the sweet taste
of purity.

The subject plant layout refers to the arrangement of machinery, equipment

and other industrial facilities such as receiving and shipping department, tool room,

 Manufacturing process
• The raw material that is stored in the warehouse is transporting to the processing plant
nearby.

• In the cap department where caps are produced. Materials which are in the form of
granules and emptied in the hopper of the injection moulding machine with a colorant and
the caps are produced of the characteristic green color of Bisleri. The caps that are
produced are automatically packed in the cartons. This semi finished products are
transported, after quality testing has been done, to what is called the filling department. In
the caps department there are 7 injections moulding machines.

• In the performs department which is located next to the caps department it is located in the
same plant. In the performs department PET material is used to manufacture perform
which are semi finished bottles. They are produced by using injection moulding machines.
After the performs are tested by the quality assurance department, they are packed in to
cartons and transferred to the filling department. In the performs department there are 7
injection moulding machines.

• In the blowing department the performs which are obtained from the performs department
are blown to form bottles. There are a total of 2 fully automatic blowing machines which
are directly connected from to the filter. There are total 5 semi automatic and automatic
blowing machines which are producing bottles every day.

• The filling department is situated in a closed and controlled environment to maintain the
hygiene. The bottles are transferred from one operation to other on conveyer belt. The
bottles are directly loaded on to the conveyer belt, first bottles passed through UV lights
to kill bacteria, then the bottles are cleaned by pure water , then the bottles are filled to
desired quantity and then they are automatically capped, then the sticker is put on the
bottle, then the price, then the manufacturing date, batch numbers are printed by spraying
machines on the bottles itself, then the bottles are passed through a screen of white light
where the workers manually check all the bottles for any defect, lastly they are packed in
the cartons and stored in the warehouse ready for transportation to its destination.

 Observations & suggestion
• Our industrial visit for Bisleri started by entering the gate of Bisleri company situated at
Andheri (E),

• The entire campaign of the Bisleri was in green color which shows the environmental
friendly color

• The entire campaign was built around the tamper proof seals. The campaign focused on
the safety provided by the "breakaway" seal, by illustrating the ease with which
conventionally sealed bottles could be refilled and recycled.

• There was new design in the Bisleri products. The new design was patented to prevent it
from being copied by others. The new pack is trendy and has been well accepted by the
consumers as we have experienced in the case of 500 ml and 5 liter sizes." The new pack
also allowed better brand display. Vertical labeling was easier on flat sleeved packages. It
made label information visible from all sides of the bottle.

• Consistent quality and taste are two of the principal differences between bottled water
and tap water it means that the bottled water are safer then the tap water.

 Opinion about industrial visit
My opinion is that the production management is very important in today’s competitive world
where cost cutting is norm rather than exception. Production management provides science for
effective profit maximization and optimum resources utilization.

Bisleri who in the past has been facing tough competition from the other brands has adopted
production management in the big way in order to maintain its lead in the packaged drinking
water market.

In this project I have shown the manufacturing process of the Bisleri and to show that people
consume mineral water not for the minerals, but for safety

And at last the Bisleri Company should concentrate on the production process more.
