INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANIZATION
History of Uniliver
In the 1890s, William Hesketh Lever, founder of Lever Bros, wrote down his ideas
for Sunlight Soap – his revolutionary new product that helped popularize cleanliness and
hygiene in Victorian England. It was 'to make cleanliness commonplace; to lessen work
for women; to foster health and contribute to personal attractiveness, that life may be
more enjoyable and rewarding for the people who use our products'.
This was long before the phrase 'Corporate Mission' had been invented, but these
ideas have stayed at the heart of our business. Even if their language and the notion of
only women doing housework – has become outdated.
In a history that now crosses three centuries, Unilever's success has been
influenced by the major events of the day – economic boom, depression, world wars,
changing consumer lifestyles and advances in technology. And throughout we've created
products that help people get more out of life – cutting the time spent on household
chores, improving nutrition, enabling people to enjoy food and take care of their homes,
their clothes and themselves.
In the late 19th century the businesses that would later become Unilever were
among the most philanthropic of their time. They set up projects to improve the lot of
their workers and created products with a positive social impact, making hygiene and
personal care commonplace and improving nutrition through adding vitamins to foods
that were already daily staples.
Today, Unilever still believes that success means acting with the highest standards
of corporate behavior towards our employees, consumers and the societies and world in
which we live. Over the years we've launched or participated in an ever-growing range of
initiatives to source sustainable supplies of raw materials, protect environments, support
local communities and much more.

Through this timeline you'll see how uniliver brand portfolio has evolved. At the
beginning of the 21st century, our Path to Growth strategy focused us on global high-
potential brands and our Vitality mission is taking us into a new phase of development.
More than ever, our brands are helping people feel good, look good and get more out of
life – a sentiment close to Lord Leverhulme's heart over a hundred years ago.
Timeline
Although Unilever wasn't formed until 1930, the companies that joined
19th forces to create the business we know today were already well established
century before the start of the 20th century.
Tough economic conditions and the First World War make trading
1910s difficult for everyone, so many businesses form trade associations to
protect their shared interests.
Unilever's first decade is no easy ride: it starts with the Great Depression
1930s and ends with the Second World War. But while the business rationalises
operations, it also continues to diversify.
Unilever's operations around the world begin to fragment, but the business
1940s continues to expand further into the foods market and increase investment
in research and development.
2
1960s
As the world economy expands, so does Unilever and it sets about developing new
products, entering new markets and running a highly ambitious acquisition programme.
1970s
Hard economic conditions and high inflation make the 1970s a tough time for everyone,
but things are particularly difficult in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector as
the big retailers start to flex their muscles.
1980s
Unilever is now one of the world's biggest companies, but takes the decision to focus its
portfolio, and rationalise its businesses to focus on core products and brands.
1990s
The business expands into Central and Eastern Europe and further sharpens its focus on
fewer product categories, leading to the sale or withdrawal of two-thirds of its brands.

HISTORY OF UNILEVER LOGO
In 2005, Unilever decided to change their logo to represent their new theme of
vitality. The new logo was also planned to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the
company. The new logo tells the story of Unilever and vitality. It brings together 25
different icons representing Unilever and its brands, the idea of vitality and the benefits
Unilever brings to consumers.
Unilever logo is one of the most discussed ones between the designers.
And you know why? Because it’s superb. It is one of the most recognizable logos in the
world, just because they produce health & personal care and food products. Many of
them you all know very well: Lipton, Knorr, Peposodent and Signal, Rexona, Axe and
tons of others.
The Unilever logo has lots of symbols in it, which look like some decorative elements
only. But at the closer look you will realize that each one of these symbols looks like…
or…uhh…it must mean something, right? And they really do.

3. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Definition of quality
Quality is a relative term which is defined according to various dimensions that pertain to
customer satisfaction. Broadly defined, quality refers to the ability of a product or service to
consistently meet or exceed customer expectations.
There are so many other definitions of quality .
When used together as a phrase, the three words in this expression have the fallowing meanings
Total - involving the entire organization, supply chain and or product life cycle
Quality – with the usual definition with all its complexities
Management -the system of managing with steps like PLAN, ORGANIZE, CONTROL,
LEAD, STAFF, provisioning and organizing
Total Quality Management Model
TQM requires a new process thinking mindset. We must realize that everything we do is
part of a process. Our focus shifts from managing outcomes to managing and improving
processes; from what to do to how to do the processes better. Quality performance
expands to include how well each part of the process works and the relationship of each
part to the process. Also, process improvement focuses on continuously achieving the
greatest potential benefit for our customers.
PRINCIPLES OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
• Executive Management – Top management should act as the main driver for TQM and
create an environment that ensures its success.
• Training – Employees should receive regular training on the methods and concepts of
quality.
• Methodology and Tools – Use of appropriate methodology and tools ensures that non-
conformances are identified, measured and responded to consistently.
• Company Culture – The culture of the company should aim at developing employees
ability to work together to improve quality.
Kaizen is a daily process, the purpose of which goes beyond simple productivity improvement.
It is also a process that, when done correctly, humanizes the workplace, eliminates overly hard
work ("muri"), and teaches people how to perform experiments on their work using the scientific
method and how to learn to spot and eliminate waste in business processes. In all, the process
suggests a humanized approach to workers and to increasing productivity: "The idea is to nurture
the company's human resources as much as it is to praise and encourage participation in kaizen
activities." Successful implementation requires "the participation of workers in the
improvement."People at all levels of an organization participate in kaizen, from the CEO down
to janitorial staff, as well as external stakeholders when applicable. The format for kaizen can be
individual, suggestion system, small group, or large group. At Toyota, it is usually a local
improvement within a workstation or local area and involves a small group in improving their
own work environment and productivity. This group is often guided through the kaizen process
by a line supervisor; sometimes this is the line supervisor's key role. Kaizen on a broad, cross-
departmental scale in companies, generates total quality management, and frees human efforts
through improving productivity using machines and computing power
• ATARIMAE HINSHITU
The idea that things will work as they are supposed to (e.g. a pen will write).The
functional requirement actually. Example a wall or flooring in a house has functional parts in the
house as a product and when the functionality is met afterimage quality requirement is met.
• KANSEI -
Examine the way the user applies the product leads to improvement in the product itself.
• Miryokuteki HINSHITSU -
The idea that things should have an aesthetic quality which is different from "atarimae
hinshitsu" (e.g. a pen will write in a way that is pleasing to the writer, and leave behind ink that is
pleasing to the reader).The floor and wall example can be expanded the color, texture, shine,
polish, etc., are the miryokuteki aspects which definitely comprise a very important part of the
quality and add value to the product.

QUALITY TREE
This can be defined as process of maintaining good quality standards within the organization
and touch clients hearts though managing and supplying their needs and wants. This ensure that
things are done right the first time and that defect and waste are criminated from operations
UNILIVER thoroughly believe if they want to sustain stay in this market and maintain product
cycle follow the Six Sigma method . They do several things to maintain quality.
ISO 9000
ISO 9000 refers to the 'international organization for standarlization's basic written standards for
quality management and assurance'
This section concisely describes the essential features of the ISO 9000 family.
The ISO 9000 family of standards represents an international consensus on good quality
management practices. It consists of standards and guidelines relating to quality management
systems and related supporting standards.
ISO 9001:2008 is the standard that provides a set of standardized requirements for a quality
management system, regardless of what the user organization does, its size, or whether it is in the
private, or public sector. It is the only standard in the family against which organizations can be
certified – although certification is not a compulsory requirement of the standard.
The other standards in the family cover specific aspects such as fundamentals and vocabulary,
performance improvements, documentation, training, and financial and economic aspects.
The answer is that ISO 9001:2008 lays down what requirements your quality system must meet,
but does not dictate how they should be met in any particular organization. This leaves great
scope and flexibility for implementation in different business sectors and business cultures, as
well as in different national cultures.
Benefits of TQM for an organization and employees
• A philosophy that improves business from top to bottom.
• A focused on, systematic and structured approach to enhancing customer's satisfaction.
• Process improvement methods that reduce or eliminate problems I.e NON conformance
• Cost can reduce.
• Tools and techniques for improvement -quality operation system.
• Delivering what the customer wants in term of service, product and the whole experience.
• Intrinsic motivation and improved attitudes throughout the workforce
• workforce is pro active- prevention oriented
• Enhanced communication.
• Reduction in waste and rework.
• Increase in process ownership-employee involvement and empowerment.
• Everyone from top to bottom educated.
• Improved customer / supplier relationships (internally and externally).
• Market competitiveness.
CONSEQUENCES OF POOR QUALITY
The common consequences of Poor Quality are:
1. Loss of business: Loss in sales, revenues and customer base.
2. Liability: A poor quality product or service comes with the danger of the organization
being taken to court by an unhappy or affected customer.
3. Productivity: Loss in productivity as more time is spend in rectifying the errors or short
coming then producing more.
4. Costs: Increase in costs as a poor quality product is repaired or replaced or made new.
Objectives of managing quality and productivity
• To enable you to face challenges of a highly competitive global market.
• Effective manage the product life cycle that has reduced due to technological innovations
and increasing customer demands.
• To get it right the first time and get it more right the next time.
A product's life cycle (PLC) can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue
generated by the product. If a curve is drawn showing product revenue over time, it may take one
of many different shapes, an example of which is shown below:
Chances are you've heard of Six Sigma, perhaps in connection with General Electric, the
company that made it popular in the 1990s. You may even know that Six Sigma uses statistical
techniques to improve processes in both manufacturing and service industries. But did you know
there is an important role for Human Resources (HR) in this sophisticated process improvement
approach? Or that Six Sigma initiatives are unlikely to succeed without HR's help?
HR professionals with the right skills can contribute to a Six Sigma initiative at both strategic
and tactical levels. This article describes the areas in which HR should play a role in Six Sigma
and discusses how HR professionals can increase their chances of being included in Six Sigma
decision-making and implementation.
To appreciate the important role HR has in Six Sigma, it is important to begin this discussion by
having an understanding of what Six Sigma is, all the roles played by others in a Six Sigma
implementation, and the factors critical to a successful implementation.
Six Sigma Roles
Six Sigma has a martial arts convention for naming many of its professional roles. The chart
below describes how these roles are typically defined.
Leader Senior-level executive who is responsible for implementing Six Sigma within the
business.
Champion Middle- or senior-level executive who sponsors a specific Six Sigma project,
ensuring that resources are available and cross-functional issues are resolved. Black Belt Full-
time professional who acts as a team leader on Six Sigma projects. Typically has four to five
weeks of classroom training in methods, statistical tools, and (sometimes) team skills.
Master Black Belt Highly experienced and successful Black Belt who has managed several
projects and is an expert in Six Sigma methods/tools. Responsible for
coaching/mentoring/training Black Belts and for helping the Six Sigma leader and Champions
keep the initiative on track.
Green Belt Part-time professional who participates on a Black Belt project team or leads
smaller projects. Typically has two weeks of classroom training in methods and basic statistical
tools.
Team Member Professional who has general awareness of Six Sigma (through no formal
training) and who brings relevant experience or expertise to a particular project.
Process Owner Professional responsible for the business process that is the target of a Six
Sigma project.
Quality enhancement strategy
• Establish clear standards of quality for products and services that is measurable.
• Establish service procedures and production methods that will ensure the defined level of
quality of products and services.
• Monitor actual quality.
• Takes corrective action when actual quality falls below required standards.
• Explore improving quality standards at same or lower cost.
IMPORTANT OF PEOPLE IN QUALITY MANAGEMENT
EMPLOYEE ATTITUDES
Some people feel those quality controls are imposed on them by outside parties who have no idea
about the ground situation. This may be overcome by getting the employees involved in
developing the quality standards and procedures as their commitment to quality is vital for the
survival of the organization.
POSITIVE APPROACH
Self supervision and responsibility for one's own works have proved successful in many
instances and employees have been motivated to be mindful of quality controls. This would also
increase job satisfaction.
QUALITY COMPETITIONS
Department or tam wise competitions can be devised to meet and beat the quality standards to
encourage implementation of quality controls. Quality circles may also be set up with
responsibility to implement improvement they themselves identified .
Employee attitudes
Nothing impossible (positive approach)
DEFINITION OF PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity is a measure of the efficiency of an organization in terms of the ration of the inputs
to output .the higher the numerical value of this ratio the greater the efficiency.
Productivity measures the employees’ efficiency in using the organization’s scarce resources to
produce goods and services.
this picture is about getting maximum use of the recognize resources and do it productively.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT PRODUCTIVITY
Any productivity measurement system should produce some sort of overall index of productivity.
A smart measurement program combines productivity measurements into an overall rating of
performance. This type of system should be flexible in order to accommodate changes in goals
and policies over time. It should also have the ability to aggregate the measurement systems of
different units into a single system and be able to compare productivity across different units.
The ways in which input and output are measured can provide different productivity measures.
Disadvantages of productivity measures have been the distortion of the measure by fixed
expenses and also the inability of productivity measures to consider quality changes (e.g., output
per hour might increase, but it may cause the defect rate to skyrocket). It is easier to conceive of
outputs as tangible units such as number of items produced, but other factors such as quality
should be considered.
Experts have cited a need for a measurement program that gives an equal weight to quality as
well as productivity. If quality is included in the ratio, output may have to be defined as
something like the number of defect-free units of production or the number of units which meet
customer expectations or requirements.
Managers are concerned with productivity as it relates to making improvements in their firm.
Proper use of productivity measures can give the manager an indication of how to improve
productivity: either increase the numerator of the measure, decrease the denominator, or both.
Managers are also concerned with how productivity measures relate to competitiveness. If two
firms have the same level of output, but one requires less input thanks to a higher level of
productivity, that firm will be able to charge a lower price and increase its market share or charge
the same price as the competitor and enjoy a larger profit margin.
Within a time period, productivity measures can be used to compare the firm's performance
against industry-wide data, compare its performance with similar firms and competitors,
compare performance among different departments within the firm, or compare the performance
of the firm or individual departments within the firm with the measures obtained at an earlier
time (i.e., is performance improving or decreasing over time?).
Productivity measures can also be used to evaluate the performance of an entire industry or the
productivity of a country as a whole. These are aggregate measures determined by combining
productivity measures of various companies, industries, or segments of the economy.
FACTORS AFFECTING PRODUCTIVITY
There is quite a variety of factors which can affect productivity, both positively and negatively.
These include:
The first 12 factors are highly controllable at the company or project level. Numbers 13 and 14
are marginally controllable, at best. Numbers 15 and 16 are controllable only at the national
level, and 17 are uncontrollable.
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity improvement can be achieved in a number of ways. If the level of output is
increased faster than that of input, productivity will increase. Conversely, productivity will be
increased if the level of input is decreased faster than that of output. Also, an organization may
realize a productivity increase from producing more output with the same level of input. Finally,
producing more output with a reduced level of input will result in increased productivity.
Any of these scenarios may be realized through improved methods, investment in machinery and
technology, improved quality, and improvement techniques and philosophies such as just-in-
time, total quality management, lean production, supply chain management principles, and
theory of constraints.
A firm or department may undertake a number of key steps toward improving productivity.
William J. Stevenson (1999) lists these steps to productivity improvement:
• Develop productivity measures for all operations; measurement is the first step in
managing and controlling an organization.
• Look at the system as a whole in deciding which operations are most critical, it is over-all
productivity that is important.
• Develop methods for achieving productivity improvement, such as soliciting ideas from
workers (perhaps organizing teams of workers, engineers, and managers), studying how
other firms have increased productivity, and reexamining the way work is done.
• Establish reasonable goals for improvement.
• Make it clear that management supports and encourages productivity improvement.
Consider incentives to reward workers for contributions.
• Measure improvements and publicize them.
• Don't confuse productivity with efficiency. Efficiency is a narrower concept that pertains
to getting the most out of a given set of resources; productivity is a broader concept that
pertains to use of overall resources. For example, an efficiency perspective on mowing
the lawn given a hand mower would focus on the best way to use the hand mower; a
productivity perspective would include the possibility of using a power mower.
As a cautionary word, organizations must be careful not to focus solely on productivity as the
driver for the organization. Organizations must consider overall competitive ability. Firm success
is categorized by quality, cycle time, reasonable lead time, innovation, and a host of other factors
directed at improving customer service and satisfaction.

4. ANALYSIS
4.1METHODOLOGY
in this study method main objective is identify key issues of this organization. So we need to
analysis all the information and data. First of all we must need to gather data .i did three methods
mainly 2 types
• PRIMARY METHODES.
• SECONDARY.
1. primary data :- data which I was collected by myself (data observed or collected directly
from firsthand experience
OBSERVATION – I spent 3 days in Uniliver Colombo and looking at those employees behavior
within the organization and identified some of their issues of working according to my
knowledge.
INTERVIEW METHOD – this is a mainly focus on client oriented.
Interviews are completed by the interviewer based on what the respondent says.
QUETIONNARIRE – I choose random people of the market and gathered all the likes and
dislikes of the products and services of Uniliver from people.
2. secondary data
Secondary data is data collected by someone other than the user. Common sources of secondary
data for social science include censuses, surveys, organizational records and data collected
through qualitative methodologies or qualitative research. Primary data, by contrast, are collected
by the investigator conducting the research.
Secondary data analysis saves time that would otherwise be spent collecting data and,
particularly in the case of quantitative data, provides larger and higher-quality databases than
would be unfeasible for any individual researcher to collect on their own. In addition to that,
analysts of social and economic change consider secondary data essential, since it is impossible
to conduct a new survey that can adequately capture past change and/or developments.

I could find many information though my questionnaire and my analysis methods make easy me
to identify key issues within the organization and outside the organization. My first questionnaire
aimed to organization process and environment. Other questionnaire method focus on market
based. I have mentioned below the pages of related to this part for your further knowledge and
that will easy you to understand what I am saying …........
• Because of high amount of married employees they do not focus on working and they
only think about their families as usual. That is the normal behavior of human nature.
That has affected to organization products quality and slow downs.
• Again this has effected to refusal of over time works and they do not allow to take
additional job responsibilities.
• Always they are in tremendous pressure. Because of that reason there anger and
consultation ability has gone down.
4. Education level effects (page number 54 for further information)
Up to grade 8 – 26%
Up to ordinary level – 14%
Up to A/L - 60%
• We can see up to ordinary level educated people are much lower than up to grade 8
educated employees. It has effected to flow of knowledge within the organization.
• 40% percent of workers are not up to level of even advanced level. So they have to have
good superior instructions for their working.
• Quality of products has gone down because of uneducated workers.
• This has effected to organization image also when I searched.
4. Methods they do use for coming to offices .(page of 55 for further
information)
• 60% percent of people use buses for coming. When they reached to the office most of
them are sweating and full of stressed. So they do not give their maximum effort to the
organization
• They do not have pleasant mind set to concern about work. It converts to the
organization.
• 37% people coming all the way from trains. Even they come to the station; trains not
come on the time as usual in Sri Lanka. So need to be prepared for unexpected. Late
attendance has gone up .
• I got to know from one person who works there (my closest relation) last year had a train
strike and half of workers were not that day into works and other people had to work and
get that people's responsibilities also.
5. Percentage of following courses and updating their knowledge of related
career (page number 56 for further analysis of pie chart)
• Only 15 percent of employees do follow related courses while working in the Uniliver.
Until they do up date though following courses organization new technology and new
concepts not coming. It is a big disadvantage for organization standards and quality.
• They have to give more supervision to increase and sustain to keep quality of the product.
• Competitive organization in their same market like (Raigam, Harvest, Kist) continuously
apply new concepts and technology. So their markets also unknowingly going up.
• There were no that much high fliers because of low interest to follow related courses. So
specialized knowledge is much lower than demand.
6. Similar Capacity Experience (57 page)
Between 1 and 10 – 31 %
Above 10 years 9%
• 60% percent of people are not more than 1 year experienced. Because of that reason their
expert knowledge and known about culture and structure is low. So they are not adapted
to organization condition. Between 1 year to 10 people are 31 % is good as a percentage
but they have to get more responsibilities among those new comers to company.
• Less job experience is caused to pull down organization success though dynamic morale
changes.
• Less than 1 year being workers not up to the standards and productivity is not what
company expected from them.
7. Workers over time using (page 58)
• Main reason for this low over time using is married people and not within the area so
organization has to recruit other workers to fill that position. When they recruit time to
time seasonal employees those employees also go to minister of labour department to be
a permanent worker. This is a major problem for Uniliver what I identified.
• At the moment they do enough productivity but in the near future they must have to cover
up this refusal of doing reasonable over time. Otherwise their productivity demand will
not achieve.
8. Do they have enough freedom and enough empowerment and
commitment? (Page 59)
Not satisfied with top management commitment – 22%
Strict rules not flexible - 60%
Other 18%
• Most people have been demotivated about strict rules. They do not have empowerment to
get decision while working. It badly affected to the organization efficiency and
communication system. Straightly this problem pulled down productivity.
• People do not have much clear idea about top management procedures and always talking
about ill of them. So there is no good relationship between them
• Uniliver has supplied good technology but those workers not willing to glue with
technology. Need to have some sort of attitude change.
9. Do you expect Motivation Design on working methods? (page 61)
I explained it to the workers and got an idea. Lots of workers not know about these
methods of working changes. Somehow I got the information
• Those employees were not that much allow to get much additional responsibilities. That
is a key issue of the company.
• They don't like to change. That indicates the low percentage of job rotation liker’s.
• Until they do change their ways and systematic rotation of working they can't success and
get job experiences.
MARKET BASED RESEARCH KEY ISSUES FINDING
1. most used soap type issues :- ( page 63 for further info)
• Most people do use pears baby and it is 60% percent of their soap market. But only 25%
percent of people do use Lifeboy. I got to know though my questioner lots of people
saying it has only made for sports men because most life boy advertisement popping it
out. That is the reason for life box market gone down. So need to change the attitude of
that.
• Only 10% of people do use Lux and most of them are teen age girls. They we can think
other people not allow to use Lux because of that domain name goes for women. So need
to expand Lux also among men also. Otherwise Lux can't be in the competitive market.
• AXE BODY SPRAY market is only 11% percent when Rexona market in the top of the
market. I got to know AXE brand is not popular that much within the market. Most of
them asked what is AXE ? From me. Actually even now also AXE is not in the
competitive standard.
• We can see Sunsilk maintain their domain of the brand but dove only has 25% and clear
10%. Most people think dove is good in quality but the price of that is not reasonable.
Dove doesn't have small packets. If they have small packets people can easily get it.
• People think clear is not good for their hair and it make break their hair and without
condition it is harmful for their hair.
4. What is the most famous fairness cream?
• Fairness lovely is in the market more than well what they expect. But ponds has only
19% and Vesline 3% of market. Most people had mentioned that my survey PONDS is
not good for their skin. They do not have separate kind of creams for different skins.
Some of them had bad experience about ponds.
• Vesline is introducing most recently. Because of that reason still it is being popularizing
in the market and among teen age girls.
• Boys had a blame on fairness lovely, and they say men's active not available in the
market even super centers. That means productivity of men's active is low.
Yes -35%
No -65%
• More than half of living buyers are thinking KNOW SOUP Is not good for their health.
Because of that reason they make soup as old cultural way. Know soup is not in the
market as organization expect. So need to change the attitudes of people.
Comfort – 15%
Rin -75%
Surf excel -10%
• Comfort has only 15% and I identified the issue. Comfort is not in the market. Actually
not available at all. Even I searched it to get some information but couldn't find it out.
People don't know the name of the brand even.
• SURF EXCEL has big negative attitude of people. Because that soap powder is not that
good for health as they think. People say when they get it on their palms feel so hot and
rays spread out.
6. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Recommendation for page of 70 issues what I mentioned
• Here after they should have recruit more men for operational works. Because they are
more energetic and can have good efficiency though out works. Then they can save like
maternity cost, fix employment costs etc.
2. Organize
• Annual get to gathers.
• Annual sports meet.
• Pirith pin kam
• social welfare programs (social service)
• Annual trip related to job works specially.
