INTRODUCTION

About industrial visit

The industrial visit is a very important part our management course. Outdoor
demonstrations like the industrial visit will create more interest; lengthy technical dissertations

planned.

About company

Mineral Water under the name 'Bisleri' was first introduced in Mumbai in glass bottles in
two varieties - bubbly & still in 1965 by Bisleri Ltd., a company of Italian origin. This company
was started by Signor Felecia Bisleri who first brought the idea of selling bottled water in India.
Parle bought over Bisleri (India) Ltd. In 1969 & started bottling Mineral water in glass bottles
under the brand name 'Bisleri'. Later Parle switched over to PVC non-returnable bottles & finally
advanced to PET containers.
Bisleri company value their customers & therefore have developed 8 unique pack sizes to suit
the need of every individual. They at present have 50ml cups, 250ml bottles, 500ml, 1L, 1.5L,
2L which are the non-returnable packs & 5L, 20L which are the returnable packs. Till date the
Indian consumer has been offered Bisleri water, however in their effort to bring to consumers
something refreshingly new, they have introduced Bisleri Natural Mountain Water – water
brought to you from the foothills of the mountains situated in Himachal Pradesh. Rigorous R&D
& stringent quality controls has made us a market leader in the bottled water segment. Strict
hygiene conditions are maintained in all plants.

of all forms of bacteria. This makes the water you drink completely safe to consume. Bisleri with added

bottles and 5 and 20 liters cans.

2. Bisleri Mountain Water:

the vast Shivalik Mountain ranges. Lauded as today's 'fountain of youth', Bisleri Natural Mountain Water
resonates with the energy and vibrancy capable of taking you back to nature. Bisleri Natural Water is
bottled in its two plants in Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh and is available in six different pack sizes
of 250ml, 500ml, 1 liters, 1.5 liters, 2 liters and 5 liters.

PLANT LAYOUT
The subject plant layout refers to the arrangement of machinery, equipment and other
industrial facilities such as receiving and shipping departments, tool rooms, maintenance rooms
and employee amenities – for the purpose of achieving the quickest and smoothest production at
the least cost.
Bisleri plant at Andheri (E) has two different plants where the complete production takes
place. In the one plant the cap and the bottle performs are manufactured and the other plant has
the place for performs to be blown into bottles and the filling of the bottles is done. This building
also has the purification process of the water which has to be filled.
An ideal plant location may not be enough by itself to ensure the success of the enterprise
but it surely ensures the smooth running of a factory and makes it efficient a bad location on the
other hand is severe handicap and it is very and may finally bankrupt the organisation. The need

for selection of the location may arise when a business is started or for the purpose of expansion
or for opening branches etc.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

INPUT:

(A)Material: - The raw water is obtained from bore wells and the water which they have stored
during the rainy seasons. Without materials there can be no output. Material input may account
for as much as 80% of the value of the output. This fact indicates the importance to be attached
to material purchasing. The bottles are made from polymers such as HDPE, LLDPE and PET,
raw water, recycled, cartoons , stickers.

Fig 2: Manufacturing process

GROUND WATER: The raw water is stored underground. During the rainy season bisleri
company stores water underground.
OZONISATION: Bisleri is the only company who does the ozonisation it is done on raw
materials. The process of ozonation ensures that the water remains free from bacteria, so that the
water can have a longer life and the machine used for this process of ozonation is called
ozonator.

PRE-FILTERATION: The process of filteration removes suspended particles from the water
by sand filteration

REVERSE OSMOSIS: This stage of reserve osmosis system controls and dissolves the leftover

Particles and it converts hard water into soft water.

MICRON FILTERATION: Under this stage of micro filtration additional safety measures are
taken to guarantee purity of water.

ADDED MINERALS: In this stage addition of mineral magnesium sulphate and potassium
bicarbonate is processed.

FINAL OZONISATION: The ozone treatment increases the shelf life of water. To ensure
mineral water is held safe free from contamination, ultraviolet treatment and ozonisation process
is carried out. Ozone is unstable trivalent oxygen, a very powerful bactericide with no side effect,
as it disintegrates into oxygen within couple of hours. Sterilization effect of ozonised water
continues even after water is packaged, thereby ensuring safety of Mineral Water up to its final
packing. To ensure high quality of packing materials, components like caps and bottles are
manufactured in-house from resins of quality suppliers.

FINAL PRODUCT: After going through all the departments like filling department,
,blowing, ,grinding department the bottle is finally ready and it moves to the packaging
department.

OUTPUT:

The final output of the whole manufacturing process is the clean pure drinking water in the
bottles of different sizes according to the needs of the consumer.
