0ne of the important of the study was lack of time. hough the respondent to the study was vast due to the time constraints the sample size was limited. he researcher has difficulty with most of the respondents who was not willing to cooperate with the study, as they were very busy with their work. he research had also difficulty in getting some information, which the respondents were not interested to give. he researcher had difficulty with the respondents because they did not fill up the %uestionnaire in proper time. (nother limitation of the study was confined with not only retailers but also consumers for survey of this study.

he performance of "irla white is good in the market F also "irla white has a brand name and it is very popular. "ut from the survey I found that there is more need to fre%uent advertisement is not considered directly in buying, but it3s essential to promote the sales.

o satisfied retailer and stockiest company should give more commission to retailers F give more credit terms and to satisfy retailers more attention on %uality at fair prices.

#ompany should try to manage competition between retailers and try to build an association of retailers so they stop cut throat competition and get enough profit. #ompany should do few more retailer meet in a year.

(s a part of my study, I have done my Ainal project in "irla white )8rasim Industries @imited*.I have done Ainal project work on Kuantitative Gesearch on measuring satisfaction level of Getailers with "irla Bhite brand vis=Q=vis other brands.

I have taken visit of the unit F collected all the information regarding to the project report. (nd then take a survey on retailers3 satisfaction in !agar city. Arom the survey of retailers, I conclude that retailers play an important role with the help of retailers product reached to the consumer. !o it is important to satisfy them and they satisfied whileN they went well %uality at fair price F from the survey of retailers because retailers are key factor for the cement industry. If retailers are satisfied with level they get from the company than adversely it affects the company3s sales.

Ainally I would like to conclude that "irla white )8rasim Industries @imited* is one of the most reputed companies in the Indian market but still there are better scope of improvements. #ompany should take in to account dealers )retailer* suggestions F views to improve the performance.
