Chapter 1
Evolution of AMUL
Before the cooperative movement began, middlemen who supplied milk to the consumers
were exploiting the dairy industry in the Kaira District. It began as a response to this
exploitation and put an end to it. It grew because it responded to the farmers
financially as well as with services. It has thrived because farmers who have a stake in
its success, own it. And because it has been managed by capable professionals and
strengthened by dedicated scientists, technologists and workers, it has forged ahead.
Today in India, there are 75,000 dairy cooperative societies, spread all over the country
with a membership of 10 million. The farmer in the village is now assured of a better
future thanks to these cooperatives. Recently one of the European Embassies in Delhi
requested Amul for information on the five biggest "companies" in the dairy business.
The first three are in the cooperative sector - The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF), The Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited
and The Mehsana District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union. The Kaira District
Cooperative is the second best in the country. It helped to create GCMMF, the apex body
of all cooperatives in Gujarat.
The Root Cause
In the forties one firm - Polsons, dominated the dairy industry. Established by a rather
enterprising gentleman who discovered that Kaira District, of what was then Bombay
Presidency, produced a good deal of milk. He established a creamery and for a while the
name Polsons was synonymous with butter - much as Amul is today.
One of Polson's businesses was to supply milk to Bombay. As Kaira district was an
abundant source of the commodity, Polson was chosen to procure it from there. He in
turn, entered into an arrangement with a number of contractors who actually went to the
villages and collected the milk. Everyone was happy. Bombay received reasonably good
quality milk and Polson made a handsome profit. The contractors too managed to earn
large margins by over quoting the farmers. It was only the poor farmers who were
unhappy for it. They invested in the animal feed and fodder and they put in their labor.

Yet, it was they who received the smallest share of the Bombay consumers' rupee. The
arrangement benefited everyone but them.
The First step: formation of Kaira union
Realizing that something needed to be done about the unequal balance of wealth, they
turned to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for advice. Sardar Patel knew that their only chance of
earning a decent income was when they themselves gained control over the resources
they created. He also knew that the cooperatives offered them the best chance of gaining
that control. So he advised them to stop selling milk to Polson and form a cooperative of
their own. In his opinion they were to own their own dairy unit. He said, "Throw out
Polson and his milk contractors". They followed his advice and the Kaira District
Cooperative Milk Producers' Union (AMUL) was born, in 1946. By good fortune, they
could get as Chairman - Shri Tribhuvandas Patel, an equally remarkable man. Heunderstood the concept of cooperation and he understood people. His integrity was
absolute. Because the farmers of Kaira district trusted and respected Tribhuvandas Patel,
the cooperative was able to pass through some very difficult times and eventually become
a model of cooperative dairying throughout the world.
The Kaira Union began with a clear goal, to ensure that its producer members received
the highest possible share of the consumers' rupee. This goal itself defined their direction.
The focus was on production by the masses, not mass production. By the early 'sixties,
the modest experiment in Kaira had not only become a success, people began to
recognize it as such. Farmers came from all parts of Gujarat to learn. They went back to
their own districts and started their own cooperatives. The result - Together, the district
milk producers unions of Gujarat own the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation, which markets the milk and milk products manufactured by its owners. The
Federation's turnover was over Rs. 1700 crore making it the largest in the food industry.

In 1964, the then Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri came to inaugurate cattle feed
factory owned by Amul near Anand. Impressed by the cooperative's success, he
expressed his wish to "transplant the spirit of Anand in many other places". He wanted
the Anand model of dairy development replicated in other parts of the country. With
institutions owned by rural producers, which were sensitive to their needs and responsive
to their demands, it was an ideal tool for progress. The National Dairy Development
Board was created in 1965 in response to this call.
Amul: The origin
The mighty Ganges at its origin is but a tiny stream in the Gangotri ranges of the
Himalayas. Similar is the story of Amul, which inspired 'Operation Flood' and heralded
the 'White Revolution' in India. It began with two village cooperatives and 250 liters of
milk per day, nothing but a trickle compared to the flood it has become today. Today
Amul collects processes and distributes over a million liters of milk and milk
products per day, during the peak, on behalf of more than a thousand village cooperatives
owned by half a million-farmer members. Further, as Ganga-ma carries the aspirations of
-
8/14/2019 Indepth Analysis on Amul Dairy

generations for moksha, Amul too has become a symbol of the aspirations of millions of
farmers, creating a pattern of liberation and self-reliance for every farmer to follow.
The start of a revolution
The revolution started as awareness among the farmers that grew and matured into a
protest movement and the determination to liberate them. Over four decades ago, the life
of a farmer in Kaira District was very much like that of his counterpart anywhere else in
India. His income was derived almost entirely from seasonal crops. The income from
milch buffaloes was undependable. Private traders and middlemen controlled the
marketing and distribution system for the milk. As milk is perishable, farmers were
compelled to sell it for whatever they were offered. Often, they had to sell cream and
ghee at throwaway prices. In this situation, the one who gained was the private trader.
Gradually, the realization dawned on the farmers that the exploitation by the trader couldbe checked only if marketed their milk themselves. In order to do that they needed to
form some sort of an organization. This realization is what led to the establishment of the
Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited (popularly known as
Amul) that was formally registered on December 14, 1946.
The Kaira Union began pasteurizing milk for the Bombay Milk Scheme in June 1948. An
assured market proved a great incentive to the milk producers of the district. By the end
of 1948, more than 400 farmers joined in more village societies, and the quantity of milk
handled by one Union increased from 250 to 5,000 liters a day.
Obstacles: Springboards for success
Each failure, each obstacle, each stumbling block can be turned into a success story. In
the early years, Amul had to face a number of problems. With every problem came
opportunity. A chance to turn a negative into a positive. Milk by products and
supplementary yield, which suffered from the same lack of marketing and distribution
facilities, became encumbrance. Instead of being bogged down by their fate they were
used as stepping-stones for expansion. Backward integration of the process led thecooperatives to advances in animal husbandry and veterinary practice.
Milk by products: An excuse to expand
The response to these provided stimulus for further growth. For example, as the
movement spread in the district, it was found that the Bombay Milk Scheme could not
absorb the extra milk collected by the Kaira Union in winter, when the production on an
-

5/36
average was 2.5 times more than in summer. Thus, even by 1953, the farmer-members
had no assured market for the extra milk produced in winter. They were again forced to
sell a large surplus at low rates to the middlemen. The remedy was to set up a plant to
process milk into products like butter and milk powder. A Rs 5 million plant to
manufacture milk powder and butter was completed in 1955. In 1958, the factory was
expanded to manufacture sweetened condensed milk. Two years later, a new wing was
added for the manufacture of 2500 tons of roller-dried baby food and 600 tons of cheese
per year, the former based on a formula developed with the assistance of Central Food
Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore. It was the first time anywhere in the
world that cheese or baby food was made from buffalo milk on a large, commercial scale.
Another milestone was the completion of a project to manufacture balanced cattle feed.
The plant was donated by OXFAM under the Freedom from Hunger Campaign of the
FAO.
To meet the requirement of milk powder for the Defense, the Kaira Union was asked by
the Government of India in 1963 to setup additional milk drying capacity. A new dairy
capable of producing 40 tons of milk powder and 20 tons of butter a day was speedily
completed. It was declared open in 1965. The Mogar Complex where high protein
weaning food, chocolate and malted food are being made was another initiative by Amul
to ensure that while it fulfilled the social responsibility to meet the demand for liquid
milk, its members were not deprived of the benefits to be had from the sale of high value-
added products.
Cattle: From stumbling blocks to building blocks
Traditionally dairying was a subsidiary occupation of the farmers of Kaira. However, the
contribution to the farmer's income was not as prominent as his attachment to dairying as
a tradition handed down from one generation to the next. The milk yield from animals,
which were maintained mainly on the by products of the farm, was decidedly low. That
together with the lack of facilities to market even the little produced rendered the
scientific practice of animal husbandry irrational as well as unaffordable. The return on
the investment as well as the prospects of being able to market the product looked very
bleak. It was a vicious cycle reinforced by generations of beliefs.
The Kaira Union broke the cycle by not only taking upon themselves the responsibility of
collecting the marketable surplus of milk but also provided the members with every
-
8/14/2019 Indepth Analysis on Amul Dairy
6/36
provision needed to enhance production. Thus the Kaira Union has full-fledged
machinery geared to provide animal health care and breeding facilities. As early as late
fifties, the Union started making high quality buffalo semen. Through village society
workers artificial insemination service was made available to the rural animal population.
The Union started its mobile veterinary services to render animal health care at the
farmers' doorstep. Probably for the first time in the country, veterinary first aid services,
by trained personnel, were made available in the villages. Fully qualified staff mans the
Unions 16 mobile veterinary dispensaries. All the villages are visited bi-monthly, on a
predetermined day, to provide animal health care. A 24-hour Emergency Service is also
available at a fee (Rs. 35 for members and Rs. 100 for non-members). All the mobile
veterinary vans are equipped with Radio Telephones.
The Union runs a semen production center where it maintains high pedigreed Surti
buffalo bulls; Holstein Friesian bulls, Jersey bulls and 50 per cent crossbred bulls. The
semen obtained from these bulls is used for artificial breeding of buffaloes and cows
belonging to the farmer members of the district. The artificial insemination service has
become very popular because it regulates the frequency of calving in cows and buffaloes
thus reducing their dry period. Not only that, a balanced feed concentrate is manufactured
in the Union's Cattle Feed Plant and sold to the members through the societies at cost
price.
Impressive though its growth, the unique feature of the Amul sagas did not lie in the
extensive use of modern technology, nor the range of its products, not even the rapid
inroads it made into the market for dairy products. The essence of the Amul story lies in
the breakthrough it achieved in modernizing the subsistence economy of a sector by
organizing the rural producers in the areas.

Production Function
Introduction
Explosion of the production technology and changes in technical field is going to bring
out revolution in the industry sector which eventually gives stand to study and favors the
come backing subject i.e. production and management.
Production and operation management is planning, organizing, staffing, directing and
controlling of all the production system those portion of organization that convert inputs
into products and services. In general production system takes raw material, personnel,
machines, buildings and other resources and produce products and services.
The core of production system is its conversion subsystem where in workers; raw
materials are used to convert inputs into products and services. This production
department is at heart of the firm, as it is able to produce low cost products and superior
quality in timely manners.
Thus, there arises enormous need of giving due importance to this department as a whole
and a strong concrete base being foundation pillars of a manufacturing organization, if
the intention is to succeed domestically and globally.

Plant Layout
Plant layout is the overall arrangement of the machine tools, handling equipments,
storeroom and other various accessories required for facilitating production in a factory.
These arrangements are pre-planned with the results that the building has been
constructed to fit a layout of a given process.
AMUL plant is indigenously worked out with facilitation of various production processes
and production of multi products under one plant. The total plot is nearly about 2.27 kms.
Separate buildings are provided with required arrangements of machine tools handling
and computers connection through the control room to fit for varying product-
manufacturing departments.
The plant is engaged in producing milk, ice creams, milk powder and ghee. Entire
department is uniquely provided with facilities for the processing each product. There are
4 production departments and packaging departments pertaining to each product
respectively.
Thus, plant layout encompasses all production and service facilities and provides for the
most effective utilization of the men, materials and machines constituting the process. It
is the master blue print of coordinating all operations.
A good layout results in elimination or minimization of accidents and hazards and cost
while increases the output. Thus a good layout specifically is observed to be beneficial on
the following grounds:
Efforts minimization
Fewer material handling will be provided manufacturing units cost will be lover
Bottlenecking of production will be eliminated
Total item in process will be less
Specialization of operations is facilitated
Less inspection will be required
-

Production control will be easier to achieve
Plant investment can be held to the necessary minimum
Plant and equipment obsolescence may be less
Wastage space will be eliminated
Thus, a true beneficiary is provided to the plant through good and sound planning for
plant layout.
Operating Analysis
Amuls only source of raw material is Village Milk societies. Milk is brought from suchvillage milk societies every morning and evening. This milk is then sent to the dairy
plant. In the dairy plant the milk is processed i.e. it is made free from germs.
Milk Processing
The entire process of milk can be divided into following steps:

Steps in Production Process
1. Collection of Raw Milk
Raw milk is collected from different co-operative societies of Gujarat. About 122000
liters of raw milk is collected per day. Before this milk is sent to the laboratory for testingthe FAT & SNF proportion, the milk is separated from the raw milk. The milk is taken
from the chilling centers to Ahmedabad with the help of trucks.
After collecting the samples of milk, they are taken to the laboratory ,where two types of
tests are conducted.
Electronic milk test
Methyline blue reduction test
Electronic Milk Test
-

13/36
Before pasteurizing the milk the samples are taken to the laboratory. In the laboratory
with the help of machine called electronic milk tester, the proportion of SNF & FAT is
checked with phosphate solution. When the colour of the milk becomes yellow, it is sent
for pasteurisation.
-
8/14/2019 Indepth Analysis on Amul Dairy
14/36
Methyline blue reduction test
Another test, which is taken in the laboratory, is called Methyline blue reduction test.
This test is conducted for checking for how long the milk will remain fresh. To check
this, 10 ml of milk is taken and 1 ml of methyline blue solution is added to it. It is then
kept under water at 57-degree C. After one hour, if the solution losses its colour than it is
called raw milk. If the solution remains the same even after 5 hours than it is considered
as fresh milk, which remains constant for a long period of time.
The dairy fixes the proportion of FAT & SAF.
MILK SNF FAT
Buffalo 9% 6%
Cow 8.5% 4.5%
After laboratory gives green signal and confirming the raw milk at the reception dock is
brought in to the house connected with the pump is sent to the milk processing plant. This
is than chilled below 4 degree C. and then stored in milk silos. After that milk is
processed which has two steps i.e. pasteurising andstandardizing.
2. Pasteurising & standardizing
After collecting and checking and conducting laboratory tests, the pasteurising process is
conducted. To pasteurized the milk means to kill all the germs in the milk by a particular
method which was invented by a scientist called James Pasteur and so the name
pasteurisation.
In pasteurizing, the milk is first heated at 72 C to 76 C for 15 seconds and then it is
immediately cooled below 4 C. By this method they destroy the pathogenic bacteriapresent in the raw milk. But if the right degree of temperature is not provided there are
chances that the milk might still contain germs. After this process some milk goes to
separator machine and remaining is proportionately sent for standardization.
-
8/14/2019 Indepth Analysis on Amul Dairy
15/36
Standardization process is known such as it bifurcates the milk in 3 categories varying
according to that FAT & SNF contents. The equipment named OSTA. Auto
standardization adjusts the fat directly. The computer is just ordered whether gold or
standard milk is to be rationed and the same will be received with appropriate contents.
Ready Milk = Pasteurised + Standardized.
3. Separation process
Separator machine separates two kinds of products, skimmed milk & cream, through
channels. There are 100 disks fixed in separator machines, which revolve at 5000 rpm
(revolution per minute). It is taken to the tanks, which has the capacity of 20000 litres.
Whenever the milk is needed from the tank, it is tested in the laboratory and the deficit
proportion fat is added by mixing cream. This process continues for 24 hours.
4 Quality Check
Pasteurized milk is sent for a quality check in the Quality Assurance laboratory of the
dairy plant. Within 14 seconds FAT and SNF proportion is received regarding 30 lack
litres of milk. The total investment put into the lab by the Dairy plant is of Rs. 6 crores.
This laboratory only checks and analyses the powder, milk and ghee. There is a separate
ice-cream analysing laboratory.
5 Packing Process
After this the milk is sent for packing to the milk packing station in the dairy plant. In the
milk packaging station there are huge pipelines and behind each of them there is polyfill
machine from which the material to pack milk comes out. There are 12 such polyfill
machines in the packaging station from which the materials to pack milk comes out.From each of these 12 machines 100 pouches are packed in one single minute.
6. Storage
-
8/14/2019 Indepth Analysis on Amul Dairy
16/36
Then the milk is sent to the cold storage of the dairy where the milk is stored until it is
dispatched. Here the milk is stored at temperature ranging from 5 C to 10 C, it is
maintained with the help of exhaust fans having silicon chips. About 40000 litres of milk
is dispatched from the cold storage of the dairy plant everyday. The damaged pouches are
kept a side and the milk is once again put to the tank.
Milk Powder
For converting milk powder first of all water content is evaporated in condensing plant.
By this process they get condensed milk, it is used as a raw material. There after the milk
is sent to the drying plant. The spray drying plant is huge in size with a height of 70 feet.
The plant is divided into many floors to enable easy use of the plant. First of all the raw
material i.e. condensed milk is put into the first floor of the plant along with air at 200 C.
By this process the remaining water, which the condensed milk might have retained is
also evaporated and milk comes as powder but this is not the last stage.
This powder is again put in to a machine called milk calendaria, where it is turned in to
real milk powder. Its capacity is 1000 litres per 15 minutes. Then again this milk powder
is put into a Dense Waise Vessel. Here the lumps are removed and uniform milk powder
is sent up.
After processing the powder is sent for quality checking at quality assurance laboratory.
After the quality confirms, this milk powder is differentiated, by adding different flavors
to them like elaichi, chocolate & sugar free milk powder. Thereafter they are packed in
tins and boxes. Afterwards it is stored at storage department.

Financial Analysis
Analysis of Relevant Ratios
Debt Equity v/s Long Term Debt Equity
The debt equity ratio shows the percentage of debt and net worth. Long-term debt to
equity ratio shows the percentage of long-term debt to net worth.
It seems that GCMMF has used more of long term debt as compared to Short term
debt. As a result it has ended up paying more of interest. But as far as the percentage of
debt to equity is concerned the use of debt has been declining over years. Of the total
capital employed debt is more as compared to equity. Thus, it can be concluded that the
stake of creditors and bankers is more in the total capital employed.
Interest Coverage Ratio
Interest coverage ratio is used to test the firms debt servicing capacity. It shows the
number of times interest charges are covered by funds that are ordinarily available for
payment.

35/36
Interpretation
Interest coverage ratio of the firm was 1.84 times in 2001, which has increased to 8.28
times in 2004. This indicates that firm is easily able to pay the interest charges out of itspresent earnings.
Dupont Analysis
Interpretation
The companys profit before depreciation, interest and tax has remained constant over the
years. In 2003, though the sales/CE has increased the PBDIT/Sales ratio has declined.
This can be attributed increasing level of expenditure of the company. But the ROCE has
increased due to decreasing capital employed in the year 2003. Overall ROCE has
remained around 26%.

Components of ROE
Interpretation
The trend in CE/Net Worth has remained steady over the years except during 2003 where
the CE/Net Worth ratio has declined. This can be attributed to an increase in Net Worth
and a decrease in the Capital Employed. PAT/PBDIT showing an increasing trend, this
can be attributed to the declining taxes over the years. PBDIT/CE ratio has increased in
2003 because of decrease in capital employed and decreased in 2004 due to increase in
capital employed. ROE has increased due to an increase in PAT.
