Havmor Ice Cream Pvt. Ltd.

Abstract

This project report reflects on the enriching experience I have gained during the summer internship by working as an operations intern at Havmor Ice creams Pvt Ltd under the supply chain department. Havmor Ice creams is one of the leading ice creams brands in the country. It was founded in 1944 by Mr. Satish Chandra Chona and later acquired by a South Korean conglomerate, Lotte Confectionary in 2017. The company is in the business of manufacturing and distribution of milk-based ice cream and frozen desserts. It operates in both retail as well as franchise parlour model. The company has more than 160 varieties of ice cream and frozen desserts (SKU) to offer in different styles and forms ranging from cones to bars, cups to family packs. The brand has a production capacity of more than 2.5 lakh litres of ice cream per day at its three manufacturing facilities in Ahmedabad, Faridabad and Solapur. It has its presence in almost 16 states in the country with its products available across more than 45000 retail stores and 250 company branded outlets. The project was undertaken to study the cold chain logistics required for the industry and understand the costing system to identify any cost saving opportunities. The project was aimed at doing a cost benefit analysis for the company between owning assets or leasing it from third party vendors. The summer internship at Havmor Ice creams provided me with the opportunity of applying theoretical knowledge learned at Institute of Management, Nirma University into the practical corporate world. This experience enhanced my learning about various concepts and also added to my existing skills.
