EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AMUL is a co-operative sector. It is the institution of farmers, for the farmers and from the farmers. The Amul gives pleasure to the farmer to change the own price, which was not possible in earlier years. This union was born on 14th December 1946. The union provides facilities to its like more return, satisfactory price, insemination, first aid, group insurance, cattle food at confessional price etc.

I have done case analysis on HRIS of AMUL and from that I have to know how organization operates and how the functions have been carried in the organization. From this case I have come to know how a wide organization like AMUL manages its Human resource.

AMUL dairy has five main departments like finance, personnel, commercial, milk procurement and production. The finance department does the clerical work and takes care of inflow and outflows of the cash. The other work of finance department is to audit of annual work.

INTRODUCTION The Birth of Amul

It all began when milk became a symbol of protest….. Founded in 1946 to stop the exploitation by middlemen, Inspired by the freedom movement [Type text]

Page 4

These seeds of this unusual saga were sown more than 65 years back in Anand, a small town in the state of Gujarat in western India. The exploitative trade practices followed by the local trade cartel triggered off the cooperative movement. Angered by unfair and manipulative practices followed by the trade, the farmers of the district approached the great Indian patriot Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for a solution. He advised them to get rid of middlemen and form their own co-operative, which would have procurement, processing and marketing under their control.

In 1946, the farmers of this area went on a milk strike refusing to be cowed down by the cartel. Under the inspiration of Sardar Patel, and the guidance of leaders like Morarji Desai and Tribhuvandas Patel, they formed their own cooperative in 1946. This co-operative, the Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Ltd. began with just two village dairy co-operative societies and 247 liters of milk and is today better known as Amul Dairy. Amul grew from [Type text]

Page 5

strength to strength thanks to the inspired leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel, the founder Chairman and the committed professionalism of Dr Verghese Kurien, who was entrusted the task of running the dairy from 1950. The then Prime Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri decided that the same approach should become the basis of a National Dairy Development policy. He understood that the success of Amul could be attributed to four important factors. The farmers owned the dairy, their elected representatives managed the village societies and the district union, they employed professionals to operate the dairy and manage its business. Most importantly, the co-operatives were sensitive to the needs of farmers and responsive to their demands. At his instance in 1965 the National Dairy Development Board was set up with the basic objective of replicating the Amul model. Dr. Kurien was chosen to head the institution as its Chairman and asked to replicate this model throughout the country.

INDUSTRY PROFILE INDIA is the 2nd largest in the emerging economies in the world, with a GDP growth rate of ~6.5%, 3th largest economy in the world (based on PPP) with a GDP of US $ 4.4Trillion, and according to BRIC report published by Goldman Sachs, India will be the 2 largest economy after China by the year 2035.

India, world's largest milk producer, ing for more than 16% of world's total milk production, is the world's largest consumer of dairy products. The total amount of milk produced has tripled from 23 million tonnes back in 1973 to 95 million tonnes in 2008 and expected a production level of 135 million tonnes by 2015. But the projected demand for milk by 2021-22 estimated at 180 million tonnes which implies that milk production will be doubled.

[Type text]

Page 8

Milk production is growing at 3.3% while consumption is growing at 5% leaving a gap between demand and supply. In order to meet the rapid growing demand and to increase the milk production, Union Government has started a central scheme National Dairy Plan – Phase 1, for a period of 2011-12 to 2016 – 17.This scheme will be implemented with a total investment of about 2242 crore. This scheme main objective is to help provide rural milk producers with greater access to the organized milk –processing sector and thus to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of milk in the country. The share of the total milk processing capacity by private sector is 44%of total installed capacity of 73 MLPD (Million Liters per Day) in the country. Therefore, the total share of the organized sector, both cooperatives as well as the private sector is barely 12%. What is, therefore, disquieting is that as much as 88% share of the total milk production is commanded by the unorganized sector. In order to attract promote Dairy Industry and attract more investment in this sector, government has also reduced the excise duty of 16% to Zero on Dairy processing Machineries. The untapped potential of the dairy sector is immense and opportunity to set up a new dairy venture is great. And there is vast potential for the export of dairy products, as the cost of milk production in India being the lowest. These factors are attracting huge amount of investments in dairy processing, manufacturing dairy processing equipment, fruit packaging equipment and equipments for biotechnology related dairy industry.

Four dairy enterprise models The following section presents analysis and comparisons of four dairy enterprise models in India. Chosen for the analysis: i) a private dairy operating in Mumbai (NAGORI) ii) The Maharashtra State Cooperative as an example of a functioning cooperative, iii) the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation as an example of a strong functioning cooperative and iv) a mutually aided [Type text]

As previously noted, cooperatives have been successful only in some parts of the country. This is largely because the cooperative law falls under the state policy and is formulated differently in different states. In states such as Gujarat, where the model succeeds, the cooperative is headed by elected managers and managed by professionals. In many other states, civil servants manage the cooperative, which results in a lot of government interference in the day-to-day functioning and

[Type text]

Page 10

leads to a lack of democracy and hence no sense of ownership or responsibility at the village level.

Three key differences distinguish the Gujarat (GCMMF) cooperatives from the other states: i) an oversight board elected by farmer ; ii) professionals employed by the cooperatives to manage the cooperatives and iii) the cooperatives have autonomy and freedom in their operating policies from interference by government and politicians. Changing from the cooperative model to the society model has many associated bureaucratic problems. To overcome the hassles, the concept of producer companies was introduced as a way of transforming cooperatives to work more efficiently as representatives of farmers.

Major Competitors Amul is a well known brand with a wide product range in FMCG giving a tough competition to its competitors. The following are the major competitor in some of its product range.

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL

Before we actually analyze AMUL as a company, industrial analysis is primary requisite. Therefore, I have used Porter‟s five forces model here.

•

There are no entry barriers because, all we need is a bunch of high yielding milch animals, sell the milk, get returns and expand.

•

Consequently there will be many brands and local players making up the competitive rivalry.

•

Bargaining power of customers is high because of various competitors.

•

Bargaining power of suppliers is low because the suppliers are rural milk producers. Even if the suppliers are paid rs.200 per kg fat of milk instead of say rs.245 per kg fat of milk.

•

Threat of substitutes is high because of availability of other products like jams, sauce etc.

•

Amul has to defend against Mahananda, Gokul, Mother dairy, Prabhat, Varna etc.

•

Aggressive moves against Britannia, Nestle, Mother dairy, and Kwality.

•

Amul has a competitive sustainable advantage. This lies in the procurement part. Its ability to collect 14 million litres of milk from 3.1 million farmers and convert it in to Rs. 12 crores worth products and distribute them to 6 lakhs retailers is a tough job.

PRODUCTION & OPERATIONAL MANGEMENT “Production management is refers to the process of correction of past mistakes catching up with the new techniques, taking up steps with developing techniques and taking measures for the production of goods at competitive cost.”

The basic philosophy of production management is to launch a frontal attack on direct costs and effective use the availability manpower weaving new techniques in to the whole to keep the production unit efficient and developing production management is the process of planning, organizing, directing and controlling. The Amul is started with only 250 liters of milk per day. But now Amul collect average 9 lakhs of liters milk per day. At the initial stage, Amul has not any problem regarding milk, but in the winter season there was excess supply of milk. So, Amul has to sell out that excess milk at the low price or Amul hastofaceloss. To removing these problems Amul take decision to set up a plant to process the surplus milk butter and milk powder. [Type text]

Page 24

The Amul has three plants Known as Amul 1, 2 & 3 all three plant work 24hours a day continuously. The all manufacturing process is done automatically. The production is done in the special machines. These machines and the technology are import-id from the TRFTA PEAK Company. There is also facility of chilling of milk, so that the milk remains usable.

Milk Collection Cycle: The success of each and every dairy industry is the getting the milk from the farmers and making that milk in use as soon as possible before that milk get spoiled because the milk is the perishable product. For the smooth running the business of dairy industry the industry must concentrate on the milk collection cycle.

OPERATION DETAIL: 

MILK: One of the most versatile food consumed by us. All children start with mother‟s milk and continue to use it in one other throughout their life. It is the secretion from the mammary glands of a lactating mammal. The white fluid, know as milk, is made up of milk fat and other milk solids.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR MILK : 

MILK PROCUREMENT: Total milk procurement by our Member Unions during the year 2006-07 averaged 67.25lakh kilograms (6.7million kg) per day, representing a growth of 4.5 per cent over 64.38lakh kilograms (6.4 million kg) per day achieved during 2005-06. The highest procurement as usual was recorded during January 2007 at 84.09 lakh kilograms (8.4million kg) per day. This increase in milk procurement is very impressive, keeping in mind the massive loss suffered by our farmers due to floods during the monsoon season, specially in Surat district



MILK PROCESSING:  Homogenization: Milk must then be homogenized. Without homogenization, the milk fat would separate from the milk and rise to the top. Milk fat is what gives milk its rich and creamy taste. In this process Milk is transferred to a piece of equipment called a homogenizer. In this machine the milk fat is forced, under high pressure through tiny holes.  Pasteurization: Pasteurization is the process that purifies milk and helps is stay fresher, longer. Milk is pasteurized by heating it to 72°C for 16 seconds then quickly cooling it to 4°C. Pasteurization is named after Louis Pasteur, the famous Scientists.  Adding Vitamins: Before homogenization, vitamin D is added to all milk. VitaminD combined with the calcium that naturally exists in milk help gives us strong bones and teeth. Dairies also add Vitamin A to skim, 1% and 2% milk. Vitamin A is good for our eyesight.  Packaging Milk: Milk is now ready to be packaged. Milk is pumped through automatic filling machines direct into bags, cartons and jugs. The machines are carefully sanitized and packages are filled and sealed without human hands. During the entire time that milk is at the dairy, it is kept at 1° - 2°C. This prevents the development of extra bacteria keeps the milk fresh.  Storing: Milk is delivered to grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants in refrigerated trucks that keep milk cooled to 1° - 4°C. The stores take their milk and immediately place it in their refrigerated storage area. Because fresh milk is so important to our diets, dairies, and our health.

Amul STP is as follows



Segmentation;

Segmentation is not so easy because of mixed audience and various culinary applications. Nevertheless, we may do segmentation based on:  Consumer type: Kids - Amul kool, Amul chocolates, Nutramul, etc. Women‟s - Amul Calci+ Youth – Cheese variants, utterly delicious pizza, etc. Calorie conscious – Amul lite, Amul lite slim and trim milk, etc. [Type text]

Page 33



Targeting

After segmentation, one has to decide where to find market segment and what should be the size of segment. Example, Amul has identified youth as one of his potential segment. Now it has to decide where to find youth who will actually go get their product and the number of youth that the company, i.e., Amul requires. Therefore, Amul has come up with ice-cream parlours for this reason. 

Positioning

A mass market player, no offerings. USP – Quality with affordability. “Amul” as “taste of India” – creates a value for everyone in the value chain, both customers and farmers. New offerings for health conscious and vibrant India in the form of Probiotic wellness Lassi, Icecream, and sugar free delights for the diabetic patients and Amul kool café for the youth of today.

PRICE The prices of products of Amul are also decided by the GCMMF. The GCMMF conducts the market survey to check the validity and feasibility of prices in the market and accordingly decides the prices of Amul products. The price of the products of Amul are also decided by the GCMMF .The GCMMF conducts the market survey to check the validity and feasibility of prices in the market and accordingly decides the price of Amul products . However, the price is inclusive of several elements like: Cost of milk. Labour cost. Processing cost. [Type text]

Page 34

Packaging cost. Advertising cost. Transportation cost. Sales promotion cost. Taxes etc. The GCMMF considers all this cost. Aspects and set them up in pricing structure to decide the selling price of milk and milk products. PLACE • Place refers to marketing activities that make products available to consumers at the right time in a convenient location. Place refers as distribution Channels .IT is the process of moving products from the producer the consumer. • Amul has developed federation and Amul parlors located in several parts of country. Amul have managed to create more than 2300. Amul have identified certain potential locations such as Railway, Airports, universities, and shopping malls. The GCMMF handles the workers relating to Managing of stocks and distributors to in the country.

PROMOTION One of the most conservative FMCG entities – GCMMF – spends a mere 1% of its turnover on promotion. Amul has re – written the rules of the game. Amul butter girl is one of the longest run ad campaigns in the country for more then 43 years!!! The reason Amul topical are so successful because, it doesn‟t plead the customer to go and buy Amul instantly. Instead Amul captures latest news headlines and showcases them in such a way that the moment we see it, we it in our brains. The basic aim here is to make butter synonymous to Amul. Next time we to buy butter, the first brand that will come to our mind is Amul. Amul uses rotational promotional strategy to be in touch with the customers/consumers throughout. After every 3-4 years, Amul comes up with something new and a promotional campaign for the same is placed. [Type text]

MCKINSEY’S 7S FRAMEWORK

The figure on the previous page illustrates the multiplicity interconnection between the elements that define the organizations ability to change. The theory helped the managers to think about how companies could be improved. It says that it is not just a matter of devising a new strategy and following it through nor is it matter to setting up new system & letting them generate improvements. The 7s model is an anthropological way to understand the culture. The model shows that corporate success requires the development of both hard Ss (Strategy, System, & Structure) and soft Ss (Skill, Staff, Shared value, & Style of leadership). It helps the leader as a 1. Mental model to understand culture 2. Guide for change in management strategy 3. Tool to design initiative holistically 4. Reminder of hard & soft assets to integrate align & measure.
