    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 14thDecember 1946. The union provides facilities to its

    members 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

    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

  • 8/10/2019 Amul Company Report

    6/68

    [Type text] Page 6

    strength to strength thanks to the inspired leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel, the founder

    Chairman and the committedprofessionalism 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, accounting 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 9

    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 PlanPhase 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

  • 8/10/2019 Amul Company Report

    10/68

    [Type text] Page 10

    cooperative society as an alternative model. Models such as producer companies (emerging as a

    new generation cooperative) are still in a developing stage.

    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

  • 8/10/2019 Amul Company Report

    11/68

    [Type text] Page 11

    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 members; 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.

    PORTERS FIVE FORCES MODEL

    Before we actually analyze AMUL as a company, industrial analysis is primary requisite.

    Therefore, I have used Porters 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.

    AMUL3 This unit is producing AMUL butter, spray power, and flavored milk.

    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.

    Amul dairy is very conscious about the milk collection cycle because the base of the success of

    the Amul is milk collection cycle.

    OPERATION DETAIL:

    MILK: One of the most versatile food consumed by us. All children start with mothers

    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, themilk 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 72C for 16 seconds then

    quickly cooling it to 4C. 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 - 2C. This prevents

    the development of extra bacteria keeps the milk fresh.

    Storing: Milk is delivered to grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants inrefrigerated trucks that keep milk cooled to 1 - 4C. 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.

    the company, i.e., Amul requires.

    Therefore, Amul has come up with ice-cream parlours for this reason.
