INTRODUCTION
Custmor satisfaction a business term is measure of how products and services
supplied by a company meat or surpass customer expection. It is seen as a key
performance indicator within business and is part of the four perspective of a balanced
scorecard. Every human being is a consumer of different produces. If there is no
consumer,there is no business. Therefore,customer satisfaction is very important to evary
business person.
Definitions of marketing:
Marketing is a Social and managerial process by which individuals and groups
obtain what they need and want through creating, offering and exchanging products of
value with others.

MARKETING:
Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, Pricing,
promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy
individual and organizational needs.
In a most simple and non-technical language, marketing may be explained as a
business function entrusted with the criterion and satisfaction of Customer to achieve the
aims of business itself .In popular usage, marketing refers to the promotion of products,
especially advertising and branding. However in professional usage the term has a wider
meaning. It can be divided into four sections often called as marketing mix and it
consists four Ps. They are:
PRODUCT:
The product management aspect of marketing deals with the specifications of the
actual good or service, and how it relates to the end-user needs and wants.
PRICE:
This refers to the process of setting of the price for the product, including
discounts.
PLACE:
Place or distribution refers to how the product gets to the customer
For example, point of sale of placements or retailing.
PROMOTION:
This includes advertising, Sales promotion, publicity and personal selling, the
various methods of promoting the product, brand or company.
performance to match. These companies are aiming for total consumers satisfaction
(TCS).
IMPORTANCE OF MARKETING:
WHAT IS A BRAND?
Perhaps the most distinctive skill of professional marketers is their ability to
create maintain, project and enhance brands. Marketers say that branding is the art and
cornerstone of marketing.
2. BENEFITS:
Attributes must be translated into functional and emotional benefits. The attributes
durable could translate into functional benefits. There is no need to buy another car for
several years. The attribute expensive translates into the emotional Benefit the car
makes me feel important and admires.
3. VALUES:
The brand also says something about the producers values. Mercedes stands for
high performance, safety and prestige.
4.PERSONALITY:
The brand can project, a certain personality. Mercedes may suggest a non-sense
boss (person), a reigning lion (animal), or an austere place (object).
5. CULTURE:
The brand may represent a certain culture. The Mercedes represents German
culture; organization efficiency, high quality.
6. USERS:
The brand suggests the kind of consumer who buys or uses the product. We would
expect to see a 55-year-old top executive behind the wheel of a Mercedes, not a 20 year
-old secretary.
If company treats a brand only as a name, it missess the point. The branding
challenge is to develop a deep set of positive associations for the brand. Marketers must
decide at which level(s)to fix the brands identity. One mistake would be to promote only
Indeed, a major stumbling block to many international marketing efforts has been
the general lack of familiarity with the needs, preferences, and consumption habits of
consumers in foreign markets. Marketers now use cross-cultural consumer research
studies as the basis for product development and promotional strategies to meet the needs
of targeted foreign consumers.
constantly to improve the quality of its product, with a result often referred to as
"marketing myopia" - that is, a focus on the product, rather than on the consumer needs it
presumes to satisfy. A marketer in love with its product may improve it far beyond its
worth to the consumer, passing the cost of unneeded quality or special features on to the
public. In highly competitive market, some companies keep adding unnecessary features
in hopes of attracting buyers.
A natural evolution from both a production orientation and a product orientation is
selling orientation, in which a marketer's primary focus is selling the products that it has
unilaterally decided to produce.
The implicit assumption in the selling orientation is that consumers are unlikely to
buy a product unless they are actively and aggressively persuaded to do so. The problem
with a selling orientation is that it does not take consumer satisfaction into account. When
consumers are induced to buy products that they don't want or need, any resulting
unhappiness is likely to be communicated through negative word-of-mouth that may
dissuade other potential consumers from making a similar purchase.
Furthermore, when the product does not fulfill a consumer need, it is unlikely that
a repeat purchase will be forthcoming. In the late 1950's some marketers began to realize
that they could sell more goods, more easily, if they produce only those goods that they
had predetermined consumers would buy. Instead of trying to persuade customers to buy
what they had already produced, marketing oriented firms endeavored to produce only
products that they had first confirmed consumers would buy. Consumer needs and wants
became the firm's primary focus. This consumer-oriented marketing philosophy came to
be known as the marketing concept. The key assumption underlying the marketing
concept is based on the premise that a marketer should make what it can sell, instead of
trying to sell what it has made. While the selling concept focused on the needs of the
seller, the marketing concept focuses squarely on the needs of the buyer.
The widespread adoption of the marketing concept by American business
provided the impetus for the study of consumer behavior. To identify unsatisfied
consumer needs, companies had to engage in extensive marketing research. In doing so,
they discovered that consumers were highly complex individuals, subject to a variety of
psychological and social needs quite apart from their survival needs. They discovered that
the needs and priorities of different consumer segments differed dramatically and that to
design new products and marketing strategies that would fulfill consumer needs they had
to study consumers and their consumption behavior in depth. Thus, the marketing
concept laid the ground work for the application of consumer behavior principles to
marketing strategy.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION:
The popular adage nothing succeeds like success is applicable to the dairy
development in India. If the country witnessed the green revolution leading to selfreliance in food grains in the sixties and the seventies, the decades of the eighties and the
nineties witnessed the white revolution. Indian total milk production is ranked first in
the world followed by the United States. Initially dairying was largely an unorganized
activity. By and large land holding farmers kept cattle mainly for bullock production.
Milk was essentially a byproduct. The surplus after domestic consumption was either
converted into conventional products mainly ghee and sold to middle men who cater to
the needs of the market.
As India enters an era of economic reforms, agriculture, particularly the
livestock sector, is positioned to be a major growth area. The fact that dairying could play
a more constructive role in promoting rural welfare and reducing poverty is increasingly
being recognized. For example, milk production alone involves more than 70 million
producers, each raising one or two cows/buffaloes. Cow dung is an important input as
organic fertilizer for crop production and is also widely used as fuel in rural areas. Cattle
also serve as an insurance cover for the poor households, being sold during times of
distress
There was an increasing demand for milk from the urban areas. There arose a need for
the farmers to increase the production of milk. Since the demand in the urban scenario is
rapidly increasing so do the farmers generate the supply? Further the new dairy plant
capacity approved under the Milk and Milk products order (MMPO) has exceeded 100
17
million l/p/d. The new capacity would surpass the projected rural marketable surplus of
milk by about 40 percent by 2005.
EVOLUTION:
The origin of dairy farms under public management dates back to 1886 when the
department of Defense established a few dairy farms in that year to supply milk and milk
products to the British troops. The next step was initiated during the First World War
In 1914, the Department of Defense on the advice of the Board of
Agriculture advised the Government in 1916, to appoint imperial dairy expert. The next
important step was the decision to conduct a census of livestock. The Board of
Agriculture carried out the livestock census in 1919 as a preparatory action for planned
dairy development. In 1920, the imperial expert recommended to the Government for the
establishment of a training center to meet the manpower requirements for managing the
Defiance Dairy Farms. By this time there were three dairy farms and until 1923 the
British Governments approach towards dairying was confined to milk requirements of
the military only. After 1923, diploma course in dairy were started at Bangalore.
Dr. N.C. Wright, Director, Dairy Research institute, Scotland who was
invited to India in 1936 for reviewing the progress of dairying in the country has made
two recommendations: 1. Industry needs have to be solved by developing own technology and technologists in
the country.
2. India is country of villages, of which most inhabitants are small, marginal farmers and
landless laborers. Development should be promoted only on co-operative lines.

over 400 tons of balanced cattle feed a day. It manufactures a wide range of products,
including milk power, butter, cheese, chocolates and malted beverages.
ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD (NDDB):
The Government of India had established the National Dairy Development Board
(NDDB), an autonomous body headquartered at Anands Co-operative in India. In order
to develop dairy in India, NDDB drew plans for operation flood.
THE NEXT ACHIEVEMENT: OPERATION FLOOD
In the late sixties, the board drew up a project called Operation Flood (OF)
meant to create a flood of milk in Indias villages with funds mobilized from foreign
donations. Producers co-operatives, which sought to link dairy development with milk
marketing, were central plank of this project. The Operation Flood, which started in 1970,
concludes its third phase in 1996 and has to its credit these significant results:
The enormous urban market stimulus has led to sustained
Production increases, raising per capita availability of milk to early 200 grams
per day.
The dependence on commercial imports of milk solids are alone away with.
Modernization and expansion of the dairy industry and its infrastructure,
activating milk grid.
Marketing expanded to supply hygienic and fair priced milk to some 300
million consumers in 550 cities and towns.
A nationwide network of multi-tier producers co-operative, democratic in
structure and professionally managed, has come into existence. Millions of

by organizing 60,280 village co-operative societies (VCS) in 173 milk shed having 6.61
million farmers by September 1989. Not only that, there are today, 1230 rural milk
processing plants of 13.9 MLPE (million liters per day) capacities.
The milk production has increased from 20.74 million tons in 1969-70 to 4807
million tons in 1988-89 while consumption capacity increased from 107 Kg/ days in 168
Kg/day. The increase in milk production was 6.6 per annum without altering the basic
land-holding structure, farming system and ownership of cattle.
The infrastructure build to link producers directly with the urban consumers
had helped to transfer 75% of the consumption price to the producer which was the main
incentive to increase milk production. Payments received by the farmers rose from
Rs.1.75 billion during 1980-81 to over Rs.8 billion by 1988-89
The milk grid was developed to link good milk producing areas with the four
metropolitan city milk plants by rail milk tankers and road milk tankers. Today milk is
transported from one part of the country to another by rail tankers.
With increase in local production of milk powder and butte, the import of
commodities has been significantly reduced. The import accounted for 60% of the milk
throughout the mid fifties. While it had dropped to 6% by the mid-eighties
There is no more rationing and quota card system, for the purchase of milk for
consumers convenience. UHT tanned shelf milk was introduced in the mid-eighties
which are slowly gained in Popularity. Operation Flood was successful because the
Project was based on a sound and successful model of the Anand dairy cooperative. The efficient handling of the gifted commodity was the land mark of success of
Operation Flood.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING:
Cooperative dairy societies have played a major role in the marketing of milk in
India. Major quantity of milk is produced in the rural area while the profitable market for
milk and milk products is largely in urban areas. However the quantity of milk available
for sale for an individual farmer is very less. It becomes difficult for them to send such a
small quantity to urban markets on their own. They face a number of problems such as
inadequate transport facilities and absence of proper marketing. Therefore the role played
by the dairy Cooperatives in building.
Addition to the arrangement of sale of milk, the dairy cooperative are also expected to
provide veterinary aids, supply cattle needs and arrange for the supply of credit for
related purpose.
LOAN TO MEMBERS:
The milk cooperatives cannot extend loans to the farmers directly. Instead they can
offer guarantee to the amount borrowed by the farmer. It was observed that from small
size societies about 7 members received loans amounting to Rs.42, 000. The loan was
mainly offered for the purpose of purchase of cross-breed cows. In
Medium, purpose of purchase of cross-breed cows and 29 members
Got the loan worth Rs.7, 50,000 for purchase of buffaloes
GAINS TO THE MEMBERS:
The co-operative society provides loans, fertilizers, and fodder, seeds, breeding and
veterinary facilities to augment the milk production. At present there are 238 dairy plants
in India comprising of public co-operatives and private sectors.
27
Co-operative milk societies are organizations of producers and the not only arrange
marketing of surplus milk but also supplement the income of the producers, who are
generally agriculturists, mainly in rural areas. These societies also help the consumers to
have pure and unadulterated milk at reasonable price.
Co-operative marketing may be defined as a co-operative association formed to
perform one or more of the marketing functions relating to the marketing association or
an agricultural co-operative marketing society, need not necessarily perform all the
marketing functions. Normally these functions include services such as selling agents,
supply of accurate market information, standardization storage, assembling, packing and
processing services.
The primary objective of the co-operative is to maximize the income of its
members as much as possible. To achieve this primer
Objective co-operative marketing aims at obtaining higher prices for the
producers and minimizing the costs of marketing.
To obtain higher prices for its members a co-operative marketing society tries to
achieve the following:
1. Development of orderly marketing.
2. Adoption of better selling methods.
3. Improvement of quality.
4. Elimination of trade abuses.
5. Improved bargaining position for the members as sellers.
6. Improvement of standardization and grading.

demand for milk from the urban consumer and they also had the necessary purchasing
power.
The demand was felt in the four metropolitan cities of India i.e., Bombay,
Calcutta, Madras and Delhi which have a combined population of around 16 million
(1971). City milk traders brought the milk by bus, trains and vans. But they could not
maintain adequate supply of milk with a growing demand from urban consumers. The
grid brought more supply of milk to the consumer. The grid brought more supply of milk
to the consumer throughout the year at rational prices.
In order to increase the milk supply and to prevent migration of cattle to the cities
Plans were drawn to establish. Cattle colonies, but this city cattle colony project was
not successful. Later, five-year plans were drawn to increase milk production. Between
1950 and 1970 the total investment was around 11,400 million.
30
Indian agriculture faces is the problem of disguised unemployment and the resultant
problem of poverty and inequality of income distribution. Hence development plans
have to prepare for efficient utilization of human, cattle resources for maximum
productivity of land for creating employment opportunities channeling the unemployed
and under-employed into productive works, dairy farming is much important in serving
this purpose. Dairy farming can also absorb large number of agricultural laborers and
those people who migrated from rural to urban areas in search of employment
opportunities throughout the year. The dairy industry plays a vital role in improving the
rural economy which is mainly agricultural based.
ADVANTAGE OF DAIRY INDUSTRY:
o Strong procurement.
o Infrastructure.
o Presence of highly skilled manpower and cheap labors.
o Large number of processing and allied facilities.
o Milk production pattern.
INDIA: WORLDS LARGEST MILK PROCUDER
India has become the worlds no.1 milk producing countries, with output in 1992000 (marketing year ending March 2000) forecasted at 78 million tones. United States,
where the milk production is anticipated to grow only marginally at 71 million tons,
occupied the top slot till 1997. In the year 1997, Indias milk production was on par with
U.S. at 71 million tones. The world milk products in 1988 at 557 million tons would
continue the steady progress in recent years. Furthermore, the annual rate of growth in
milk production I India is between 5-6 percent, against the worlds at 1%. The steep rise
31
in the growth pattern has been attributed to a sustained expansion in domestic demand,
although per capita consumption in modest-at 70 Kg of milk equivalent.
ANNUAL MILK PRODUCTION HAS TREBLED
Indias annual milk production has more than trebled in the last 30 years, rinsing
from 21 million tons in 1968 to an anticipated 80 million tons in 2001. This rapid growth
and modernization is largely credited to the contribution of dairy cooperatives, under the
Operation flood (OF) project, assisted by many multi-lateral agencies, including the
European Union, the world bank, FAO and WFP (world food program). In the India n
context of poverty and malnutrition advantages as well as providing supplementary
income to some 70 million farmers in over 500,000 remote villages.

MILK POTENTIAL:
Andhra Pradesh has excellent potential for milk production with progressive
farmers who are more receptive to the new technology and scientific practices. The
estimated milk production is 40lakh its per day. Today a strong wave of white revolution
is sweeping creating a new hope of eliminating socio-economic balance. Andhra Pradesh
is poised to be the dairy land of India playing an importance role in National Milk Grid.
GENESIS OF ANDHRA PRADESH DAIRY INDUSTRY

FARMERS CONTRIBUTION
Milk producers of Krishna, Guntur and west Godavari district have generously
donated for the purchase of 34.46 acres of land at the cost of Rs.15lahs before initiating
this project, during 1973-74. Further 53 acres of land was purchased for the location of
technical inputs and staff quarters.
ANAND PATTERN
The Anand Pattern advocated an integrated approach to the dairy development
under Co-operative sector by providing necessary technical inputs for the raid progress of
Dairy Industry. In this pattern the real involvement of producers are to be seen, where the
village Dairy cooperative societies as well as the district union are managed by the
producers themselves.
commodity they produce. This idea is really a fantastic approach and a boon to the
farmers. The new outlook in Anand pattern is to provide incentive (inputs) to the farmers
to increase the production, maintaining good cattle by improved practices of breeding,
feeding and management through farmers induction programmed which is also part of
Anand pattern. Viability of the village Dairy Co-operative societies will also be taken
care in this pattern.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
49
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how
products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.
Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total
customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings)
exceeds specified satisfaction goals."
It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a
balanced scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for
customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has
become a key element of business strategy.
Within organizations, customer satisfaction ratings can have powerful effects.
They focus employees on the importance of fulfilling customers expectations.
Furthermore, when these ratings dip, they warn of problems that can affect sales and
profitability. These metrics quantify an important dynamic. When a brand has loyal
customers, it gains positive word-of-mouth marketing, which is both free and highly
effective. Therefore, it is essential for businesses to effectively manage customer
satisfaction. To be able do this, firms need reliable and representative measures of
satisfaction.
50
reason, a luxury resort, for example, might receive a lower satisfaction rating than a
budget motel even though its facilities and service would be deemed superior in
absolute terms.
The importance of customer satisfaction diminishes when a firm has increased
bargaining power. For example, cell phone plan providers, such as AT&T and Verizon,
participate in an industry that is an oligopoly, where only a few suppliers of a certain
product or service exist.
As such, many cell phone plan contracts have a lot of fine print with provisions
that they would never get away if there were, say, a hundred cell phone plan providers,
because customer satisfaction would be way too low, and customers would easily have
the option of leaving for a better contract offer.
Customer satisfaction:
Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of
total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services
(ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals."
Consumer satisfaction:
Satisfaction of a consumer want is an essential part of the marketing operation.
Fundamentally, a person buys (acquires) a product for the satisfaction it will provide.
Purpose:
A business ideally is continually seeking feedback to improve customer
satisfaction.
51

performance varied significantly across the two service contexts in their study. These
results suggest that more careful pretesting would be prudent should these measures be
used.
Finally, all measures captured both affective and cognitive aspects of satisfaction,
independent of their scale anchors. Affective measures capture a consumers attitude
towards a product, which can result from any product information or experience. On the
other hand, cognitive element is defined as an appraisal or conclusion on how the
products performance compared against expectations, was useful, fit the situation, and
exceeded the requirements of the situation.
54
Value Equity:
Value equity is the customers objective assessment of the utility of an offering
based on perception of its benefits relative to its costs the sub drivers of the value equity
and quality, price and convenience. Each industry has to define the specific factors
underlying each sub driver in order to find programs to improve value equity. An air line
passenger might define equity as seat width; a hotel guest might define equity as room
size. Value equity makes the biggest contribution to consumer equity. When products are
differentiated and when they are more complex and need to be evaluated. Value equity
especially drives customer equity in business market.
Brand Equity:
Brand equity is the customers subjective and intangible assessment of the brand
above and beyond its objectivity perceived value. The sub drivers of brand equity and
customer brand awareness, customer attitude towards the brand and customer perception
55
of brand ethics. Companies use advertising, public relations and other communication
tools to affect these sub drivers. Brand equity is more important than the other drivers of
customer equity where products are less differentiated and have more emotional impact.
Relationship Equity:
Relationship equity is the customers tendency to stick with brand above and
beyond objective and subjective assessment of its worth. Sub drivers of relationship
equity include loyalty programs, special recognition and treatment program, community
building programs. Relationship equity is especially important where personal
relationship count for a lot and where customers tend to continue with supplier out of
habit.
Some customers inevitably become inactive or dropout. The challenge is to
reactive dissatisfied customers through win-back strategies. It is often easy to attract excustomers than to find new ones. The key is to analyze the causes of customer detection
through exit interviews and lost customer surveys. The aim is to win back only those
customers who have strong profit potential.
Create superior product, services and experience for the target market.
56
Make it easy for customers to reach appropriate company personnel and express
their needs, perception and complaints.
