INDUSTRY PROFILE
The dairy industry is recognized as one of the largest and the most
important of food industries. The dairy industry exists for one purpose—
To provide, at a reasonable cost, milk and milk product that satisfy the
consumer needs and fulfills his nutritional requirements.
The word “dairying” was derived from the Middle English word
“deirie” meaning day or maid servant worked. Dairying now connotes a
wide range of activities starting with the production of milk in the farm to
the point it reaches the consumer in form of liquid milk or as its product.
Dairy is a place where handling of milk and milk products is done and
technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge for practical
purposes. Dairy technology has been defined as that branch of dairy
science, which deals with the processing of milk and the manufacture of
milk producton an industrial scale.
The dairy sector in the India has shown remarkable development in the
past decade and India has now become one of the largest producers of
milk and value-added milk products in the world.
Also India today is the lowest cost producer of per litre of milk in
theworld, at 27 cents, compared with the U.S' 63 cents, and Japan’s
$2.8 dollars.
6
Also to take advantage of this lowest cost of milk production and
increasing production in the country multinational companies are
planning to expand their activities here. Some of these milk producers
have already obtained quality standard certificates from the authorities.
This will help them in marketing their products in foreign countries in
processed form.
7
Food processing industry is providing backbone support to the milk
industry. The development food products by using milk can give good
market opportunities to produces milk.

COMPANY PROFILE
Amul was formally registered on December 14, 1946. The brand name
Amul, sourced from the Sanskrit word Amoolya, means priceless. It was
suggested by a quality control expert in Anand and it was chosen
because it was a perfect acronym for Anand Milk Union Limited.
GCMMF:
9
In 1954, Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers’ Union built a plant
to convert surplus milk produced in the cold seasons into milk powder
and butter. In 1958, a plant to manufacture cheese and one to produce
baby food were added. Subsequent years saw the addition of more
plants to produce different products. In 1973, the milk societies/district
level unions decided to set up a marketing agency to market their
products. This agency was the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF). It was registered as a co-operative society on 9
July 1973.

Amul is the largest food brand in India and world's Largest Pouched Milk
Brand with an annual turnover of US $1050 million (2006-07). Currently
Amul has 2.6 million producer members with milk collection average of
10.16 million litres per day. Besides India, Amul has entered overseas
markets such as Mauritius, UAE, USA, Bangladesh, Australia, China,
Singapore, Hong Kong and a few South African countries. Its bid to
enter Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded, but now it has fresh
plans of flooding the Japanese markets .Other potential markets being
considered include Sri Lanka.
15
Every day Amul collects 10,16,000 litres of milk from 2.6 million farmers
(many illiterate), converts the milk into branded, packaged products, and
delivers goods worth Rs 6 crore (Rs 60 million) to over 500,000 retail
outlets across the country.
Its supply chain is easily one of the most complicated in the world. How
do managers at Amul prevent the milk from souring?
Walk in to any Amul or Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation
(GCMMF) office, and you may or may not see a photograph of Mahatma
Gandhi, but you will certainly see one particular photograph. It shows a
long line of Gujarati women waiting patiently for a union truck to come
and collect the milk they have brought in shining brass matkas.
The picture is always prominently displayed. The message is clear:
never forget your primary customer. If you don't, success is certain. The
proof? A unique, Rs 2,200 crore (Rs 22 billion) enterprise.
ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
Based in the village of Anand, the Kaira District Milk Cooperative Union
(better known as Amul) expanded exponentially. It joined hands with
other milk cooperatives, and the Gujarat network now covers 2.12
16
million farmers, 10,411 village level milk collection centers and fourteen
district level plants (unions) under the overall supervision of GCMMF.
There are similar federations in other states. Right from the beginning,
there was recognition that this initiative would directly benefit and
transform small farmers and contribute to the development of society.
Markets, then and even today, are primitive and poor in infrastructure.
Amul and GCMMF acknowledged that development and growth could
not be left to market forces and that proactive intervention was required.
Two key requirements were identified.
The first, that sustained growth for the long term would depend on
matching supply and demand. It would need heavy investment in the
simultaneous development of suppliers and consumers.
17
DEVELOPING DEMAND
At the time Amul was formed, consumers had limited purchasing power,
and modest consumption levels of milk and other dairy products. Thus
Amul adopted a low-cost price strategy to make its products affordable
and attractive to consumers by guaranteeing them value for money.
Despite competition in the high value dairy product segments from firms
such as Hindustan Lever , Nestle and Britannia , GCMMF ensures that
the product mix and the sequence in which Amul introduces its products
is consistent with the core philosophy of providing milk at a basic,
affordable price.
18
GCMMF transacts on an
advance demand draft basis
from its wholesale dealers
instead of the cheque system
adopted by other major
FMCG companies. This
practice is consistent with
GCMMF's philosophy of
maintaining cash transactions
throughout the supply chain and it also minimizes dumping.
UMBRELLA BRAND
19
Amul's sub-brands include variants such as Amulspray, Amulspree,
Amulya and Nutramul. The edible oil products are grouped around
Dhara and Lokdhara, mineral water is sold under the Jal Dhara brand
while fruit drinks bear the Safal name.
COORDINATION
Given the large number of organisations and entities in the supply chain
and decentralised responsibility for various activities, effective
coordination is critical for efficiency and cost control. GCMMF and the
unions play a major role in this process and jointly achieve the desired
degree of control.
20
These include monitoring milk collection contractors, the supply of
animal feed and other supplies, provision of veterinary services, and
educational activities.
From the beginning, it was recognised that the unions' core activity lay
in milk processing and the production of dairy products. Accordingly,
marketing efforts (including brand development) were assumed by
GCMMF. All other activities were entrusted to third parties. These
include logistics of milk collection, distribution of dairy products, sale of
products through dealers and retail stores, provision of animal feed, and
veterinary services.
It is worth noting that a number of these third parties are not in the
organized sector, and many are not professionally managed with little
regard for quality and service.
21
In developing these practices, the federation and the unions have
adapted successful models from around the world. It could be the
implementation of small group activities or quality circles at the
federation. Or a TQM program at the unions. Or housekeeping and
good accounting practices at the village society level.
More important, the network has been able to regularly roll out
improvement programs across to a large number of members and the
implementation rate is consistently high.
For example, every Friday, without fail, between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00
a.m., all employees of GCMMF meet at the closest office, be it a
department or a branch or a depot to discuss their various quality
concerns.
Each meeting has its pre-set format in terms of Purpose, Agenda and
Limit (PAL) with a process check at the end to record how the meeting
was conducted. Similar processes are in place at the village societies,
the unions and even at the wholesaler and C&F agent levels as well.
Kaizens at the unions have helped improve the quality of milk in terms
of acidity and sour milk. (Undertaken by multi-disciplined teams,
Kaizens are highly focussed projects, reliant on a structured approach
based on data gathering and analysis.) For example, Sabar Union's
records show a reduction from 2.0% to 0.5% in the amount of sour
milk/curd received at the union.
22
TECHNOLOGY AND E- INITIATIVES
Few dairies of the world have the wide variety of products produced by
the GCMMF network. Village societies are encouraged through
subsidies to install chilling units. Automation in processing and
packaging areas is common, as is HACCP certification. Amul actively
pursues developments in embryo transfer and cattle breeding in order to
improve cattle quality and increases in milk yields.
GCMMF was one of the first FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) firms
in India to employ Internet technologies to implement B2C commerce.
23
ACHIEVEMENT:
Amul : Asia’s largest dairy co-operative was created way back in1946 to
make the milk producer self-reliant and conduct milk- business with
pride. Amul has always been the trend setter in bringing and adapting
the most modern technology to door steps to rural farmers.
Amul is the live example of how co-operation amongst the poor marginal
farmers can provide means for the socio-economic development of the
under privileged marginal farmers.
24
Amul in abroad:
Amul is going places. Literally. After having established its presence in
China, Mauritius and Hong Kong, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF), India‟s largest milk cooperative, is waiting to
flood the Japanese market.
Then, GCMMF is also looking at Sri Lanka as one of its next export
destinations. Amul products are already available on shelves across
several countries, including the US, China, Australia, West Asian
countries and Africa.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
To meet with the CSR it is expected that a business in its entire procurement-
production-processing-marketing chain should focus on human development
involving the producer, the worker, the supplier, the consumer, the civil society,
and the environment.
Indeed, a very tough task. Most businesses would certainly flounder in not
being able to achieve at least one or many of those expectations. But AMUL
has shown the way.
AMUL is a three tier co-operative organisation. The first tier is the co-operative
society at the village,of which; milk producers are voluntary members,
managing the co-operative through a democratically elected 9-member
managing committee, and doing business by purchasing milk from members
and selling it to the district level co-operative. There are more than 11,000 co-
operatives in villages of Gujarat.
The second tier is the district co-operative that processes milk into milk
products, markets locally and sells surplus to the state co-operative for national
and international marketing. There are 12 district co-operatives each being
27
managed by a 15-member board elected by the college comprising the
nominated representatives or chairmen of the village co-operatives.
Third tier is the state level co-operative - the Gujarat Co-operative Milk
Marketing Federation (GCMMF) responsible for national and international
marketing of milk and milk products produced and sold to it. The GCMMF is
managed by the board democratically elected by and from amongst the
chairmen of the district co-operatives.
The entire three-tier structure with the GCMMF at its apex, is a unique
institution because it encompasses the entire chain from production of raw
material to reaching the consumer with the end product. Every function
involves human intervention: 23.60 lakh primary milk producers; 35,000 rural
workmen in more than 11,400 village societies; 12,000 workers in 15 dairy
plants; 750 marketing professionals; 10,500 salesmen in distribution network
and 600,000 salesmen in retail network. Accumulation of human capital is sine
qua non for the development and growth of any enterprise or economy. The
GCMMF is sensitive towards CSR. It believes that technology and capital are
replicable inputs but not the human capital. Since men are the basis for
achieving the CSR, the GCMMF lays emphasis on their development into
competent, courteous, credible, reliable, responsive communicators and
performers.
The first step towards discharging the CSR is the business philosophy of the
GCMMF. It is two-fold: one, to serve the interests of milk producers and
second, to provide quality products to consumers as value for money. Evolution
of an organisational system has ensured that the corporate social responsibility
towards the primary milk producers, village and the ecological balance is
fulfilled. The milk producers are paid for their milk in accordance with market
forces and realisation of value for their produce. Invariably the price paid to the
member-producers in Gujarat is higher by 15 per cent than the national average.
28
CSR-orientation To Distributors & Retailers
The GCMMF has identified the distributors and retailers are its important link
in its vendor supply chain. Through surveys the GCMMF found that 90% of the
distributors do not get any opportunity of exposure to latest management
practices. The GCMMF realised that it was a corporate social responsibility to
strengthen the core business processes of its distributors so as to keep them in
mainstream business and compete with those with formal training in
management. The GCMMF has developed and trained all its distributors
through Value-Mission-Strategy Workshops, competence building, Amul
Yatra, Amul Quality Circle meetings, computerisation, and electronic
commerce activities.
Earnings Of GCMMF
Nurturing its primary members - the milk producers - is the first mission of the
GCMMF. Discharge of this responsibility is reflected in the manner in which
the GCMMF conducts its business and shares its earnings. The milk from the
29
village co-operatives is purchased at an interim price. So as to maximize the
earnings of the milk producers the GCMMF changes the product profile during
the fiscal and directs its sales and marketing activities towards those products
that would bring in maximum returns. True! Every business organization
follows the same principle. But the GCMMF follows it with the central interest
of the producers. During the fiscal, as the GCMMF finds that from its earnings
it is possible to pay more to the producers for milk, the final price is declared
higher than the interim price being paid. Before the GCMMF closes its
financial accounts the co-operatives are paid ’price difference’, the amount
between the interim price and the final price. Thus profit of the GCMMF is
very low. The net profit (PADT) of the GCMMF during 2003-04 was Rs 7.31
crore against a turnover of Rs 2,947 crore, a meagre 0.25%. Further out of the
net profit of Rs 7.31 crore, Rs 4 crore was given as share dividend to the co-
operatives. To fulfill its corporate social responsibility towards its milk
producers and co-operatives the GCMMF works on razor thin profits and
retention of funds.
CSR-oriented To Staff
The GCMMF hires and trains people to take advantage over its competitors. It
has developed in-house modules for training and competence building to
improve and up grade of their knowledge; communication skills to understand
the customer, be responsive to customer requirements, and communicate
clearly for trouble shooting of problems. They are expected to be courteous,
friendly, respectful, and considerate to the customer. To improve the credibility
and trustworthiness of the managers it is important they perform consistently
and accurately every time and at all times. The structure of salary and
perquisites is altogether different. The first and foremost the staff must get
satisfaction from the job they. They are recognised for their contribution.

DELHI MMO ( MILK MARKETING OPERATION)
Delhi mmo is responsible for sales of milk and dahi in Delhi and Ncr
region. Delhi mmo purchase milk from three member union and send
them to market for the consumption purpose. It control the working of
five plants. The five plants are dudhmanesar in Gurgoan, kwality in
Faridabad, Sabar , Nagar & Goga in UP. All the demand of milk and
dahi goes from the Amul office in delhi. It maintains the record of all the
ADA’s (area delivery agent) and transporter. It collects payment from
ADA’S and distributes to plant which finally reaches to the original
farmer by the way of member union.

COLLECTION OF ORDER
This process of collecting order start right after the cheque preparation
of previous day sales. Once the final amount is calculated it is entered
into the system for the further use. This process start at 3:00 P.M. by
that time every field representative have to take the order from there
respective ADA. A person setting in the office taking demand has to call
these field representative for entering the demand of his zone.
There is a particular format in which order is taken and sends to
respected plant. Order of each ADA will depend on the bank guarantee
process which is explained earlier. This order generation format in the
EAIS system help us in telling the amount left for purchase by each
ADA’S and also helps in proper utilization of vehicle capacity. It keeps
the record of each vehicle capacity so that no vehicle gets overloaded
and there can be effective utilization of vehicle.
When order from all the zones is collected then finally it is send to
respected plant for the supply. It is send by E-mail on plant email id.
Plants cannot increase the supply of any ADA, but it can reduce if
demand increase supply.
