Genesis: The Panchmahal District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union LTD., Godhra
popularly known as Panchmahal Dairy is a cooperative venture of the milk producers
of Panchmahal and Dahod districts. It was established in the year 1973 and during the
year of inception its milk procurement was 21,000 liters. The dairy was managed by
GDDC till 1982. The Panchmahal cooperative dairy development programme was
taken up under NDDB’S operation flood-II programme during September 1982.
During OF-II programmes the input activities viz. veterinary services, extension
programmes, Artificial insemination programmes were initiated.
Mission: The union as such does not have any explicit mission but the same is
reflected in its quality policy which states “we are committed to excellence, both in
providing the best quality inputs and services to our esteemed milk producers and
excellent quality of milk and milk products to patron consumers.
“We shall continue to adopt this state of the art technology, HACCP principles and
innovations for manufacturing products and providing congenial and healthy
environment to encourage excellence in every area.”
Strategies: Quality consciousness in the consumers created the demand of clean and
healthy milk having minimum bacterial load. The dairy is planning to be a leader in
the quality of milk and for that various measures such as installation of bulk milk
coolers, automatic milk collection station, computerization of DCS, providing
stainless steel cans, quick reception and testing of milk both at DCS and dairy dock
are undertaken.
Current Scenario: The Panchmahal District Co-Operative Milk Producers' Union
Ltd., Godhra is located at Lunawada Road, 2.5 Km. away from Godhra City. It is
mainly a liquid milk plant with installed capacity of 2 LLPD. But at present the dairy
is handling more milk than its installed capacity. In lean season it handles 2.5LLPD
and its handling capacity in flush season up to 3.25 LLPD. These figures also show its
level of procurement in those seasons. It is producing Liquid Milk, Ghee, Table
Butter, Dried Milk & Dried Milk Products, i.e. Skimmed Milk Powder, Mithaee
Makers Powder, Gulab Jamun Mix & another important milk is Flavoured Milk as a
very high demand. The Panchmahal Dairy is manufacturing its products under the
brand names “AMUL” & “PANCHAMRUT". It was awarded with HACCP & ISO
9002 certificates for its high quality products & production polices by Quality
Assurance Service QAS, Australia in the year 2003.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Name
The name of the organisation is “The Panchmahal District Co-operative Milk
Producers' Union Ltd” (PDCMPUL), Godhra.
1.2 Location and Topographical Conditions
The Panchmahal dairy is located at Lonawada Road, 2.5 km away from Godhra town
in Panchmahal district. The dairy procures milk from the producers who live in 1600
villages of Panchmahal and Dahod districts. These are the backward districts of
Gujarat, where 90% people are tribal and in which 60% people live below poverty
line. The average rainfall of the districts are 600 to 750 mm but it rains irregularly
therefore the districts have to face draught frequently. Most of the land is rain-fed
land and the farmers have to depend upon the monsoon. Apart from this, the most of
its functioning areas (especially Dahod) are hilly and therefore, the transportation cost
is higher in collecting milk from the scattered villages. Again, it can't be said that the
Panchmahal dairy is situated at strategic location in term of getting any large market
xi

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 11/73
for its produces but with its own efforts and also with GCMMF, it is continuing
scaling up the sales through exploring new areas such as Indore, Dahod, etc.
1.3 Objective of the Panchmahal Dairy
• To procure raw milk from the societies and execute effective marketing of the
milk and milk products after processing the raw milk in order to uplift the
social and economical status of the producers.
• To ensure better & remunerative market for milk to milk producers round the
year.
• To provide veterinary aids to the members at their door step through routine
mobile veterinary routes and also to attend emergency call, besides providing
facilities of artificial insemination.
• To arrange an effective training for the members of the union & related
societies to minimize the cost of milk produced at village level.
• To create direct or indirect employment to enhance milk production activities.
• To supply balanced cattle feed as per requirement of milk producers at
reasonable rates.
• To provide technical inputs to the milk producers for producing clean milk at
village level.
• To execute various social welfare programmes for the upliftment of the
members as well as the societies as a whole.
1.4 History and Development
The Panchmahal District Co-operative Milk Producers' union was organized at
Godhra in May 1973. Initially, the dairy used to collect 21,000 liters of milk from the
40 villages of Panchmahal district. Milk used to be procured and delivered to the
adjacent district union in Kheda and Baroda on account of lack of processing facilities
at Godhra. Only bordering villages were availing these benefits of arrangements. So,
in order to increase to a larger numbers of farmers of deep-seated villages, a milk
processing plant with 30,000 LPD capacities was established at Godhra in 1977.
xii
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 12/73
The union was managed by GDDC till 1982. The dairy development programmes on
the lines of the Anand pattern was undertaken under operation flood II programmes
during the year 1982-83. The capacity of the milk processing plant was further
expanded to one lakh LPD.
Under Operation Flood III programme it was proposed to procure milk from 725
DCS. The procurement expected to be of 90,000 liters by the end of 1992. The
proposed financial outlay under OF III programme for the union was Rs. 3.15 lakh,
which involved investment on chilling centers, expansion of existing dairy plant,
technical input service and support to villages’ dairy cooperatives.
In the year 1999 - 2000 the organization received ISO 9002 and HACCP certificates
by an industrial agency QAS. Where ISO 9002 stands for the Quality Management
System of the milk and milk products such as milk powder, butter, butter milk, ghee
and gulab jamun mix, and HACCP covers the safety and quality management system
for the manufacturing of milk and milk products.
The average milk collection per day during the year 2004-05 was 2,58,000 liters from
1,600 milk producers cooperative societies. Solid Not Fat (S.N.F.) and Fat are the two
main bases on which the milk is priced with the maximum of Rs. 205 Fat/Kg for
buffalo milk.

2.0 ENVIRONMENT
The environment of an organization identifies everything outside an organization’s
boundaries. The “general environment” encompasses conditions that may have an
impact on the organization, but their relevance is not overtly clear whereas the
“specific environment” is that part of the environment that is directly relevant to the
organization in achieving its goals. It includes producer members, customers,
competitors, G.C.C.M.F. and government regulatory agencies.
The environment that the Panchmahal Milk Union faces is of the placid-clustered
type according to the classification by Emery and Trist.

After introduction of MMPO in 2002, the environment in dairy sector has become
very dynamic. Now any major player can enter into the milk shed of another
established player and try to entice its produces. In the case of the Panchmahal Milk
Union, major competition is faced from the “Sanchi Dairy” besides other small
players such as local doodhiyas. Still, in the local market of operations, the
Panchmahal dairy is the dominant player. To be more effective in such environment,
the organization needs to be more flexible and more decentralized as compared to its
existing form.
3.0 TECHNOLOGY
The technology refers to the information, equipment, techniques and processes
required to transform inputs into outputs in the organization. According to Perrow
technology can be defined “as the action that an individual perform upon an object,
with or without the aid of tools or mechanical devices, in order to make some change
in that object.” According to his classification, the Panchmahal Dairy employs a
routine technology. It is easy to analyze the problems. There is mass production. The
routine technology can be accomplished best through the standardized coordination
and control.

Figure 2: Perrow’s Technology Classification
The technology used by the dairy is of routine type in which there is very low scope
of any change from the procedure followed. There is mass production and personnel
in production department keep on performing same task. The technology at the union
is characterized by low task variability. There are few exceptions and people do the
same job in the same way most of the time. There is high formalization and
centralization. The span of control is high and the coordination and control is done by
planning and rigid rules in the organization.
4.0 CENTRALITY
We tried to analyze the different centralities of the Panchmahal dairy on the basis of
the framework given by Prof. Katar Singh and Prof. Debiprasad Mishra.
4.1 Member Centrality
In this region, most of the villagers are very poor and their livelihood depends on
agriculture and animal husbandry. Selling milk is the main business of the villagers
after farming. Even, rainfed agriculture becomes secondary livelihood option due to
the infrequent rainfall and subsequent drought. A major portion of the family income
depends on the income of pouring milk. The Panchmahal dairy returns 83 paise/rupee
of milk to the producers. This is the reason of high practice of rearing cattle in the
household and pouring milk in the society. The average household has 4 to 6 cattle.
Therefore, member centrality is high with the dairy business in this area.
4.2 Patronage Centrality
The products of the Panchmahal dairy sell at the brand names of Amul and
Panchmrut. Amul is the market leader in the dairy sector and continuing progressing
ahead. Panchmrut is also a well know brand in its domain and no other brand is its
closed competitor. Under the cooperative principle, the Panchmahal dairy procures
milk whatsoever producers want to sell. In this way, it procures the high percentage of
milk quantity from 1600 villages out of total 1900 villages in its domain. Therefore, it
can be said that it has captured the large factor market (here raw liquid milk) and has
xvii
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 17/73
the capacity to dictate the local market. So, the patronage centrality is also high. But,
there is a need of market development as well as new market for catering the growing
milk procurements.
4.3 Domain Centrality
In this region, this sector constitutes a major business, as there is no any other
industry in this region except one automobile industry in the Halol Taluka of
Panchmahal. The Panchmahal dairy gives the major contribution in the GDP of the
region. People of 1600 villages out of 1900 villages are attached with the dairy and
get direct benefit from it.
5.0 LINE AND STAFF FUNCTIONS
Line function is directly involved in the main functions, that is, manufacturing
products or delivering services. Its contribution is most comprehensive to the
organization. In this organization the line functions are procurement, production and
marketing of milk and milk products.
The staff function is a specialist function and is not directly involved in the production
process. Its main function is to provide support to the line function. This function
extends across organization and helps make the line function most effective. Typical
staff function includes administrative, training, personnel, accounts, purchase, store
etc.
Here in this organization, it is seen a clear cut demarcation between staff and line
department, both in terms of culture and attitude of the employees. The employees in
the line departments think that they are the ones who do all the important work, but it
is the employees from the staff department who enjoy more power and are close to the
management. Therefore, it is found that there exists a bit of grudge among the line
staffs. When we talked to the staff people, we found that some of them were candid
enough to admit that they are close to the power centre as they look after the finances
and also the personnel policies. Moreover the line employees think that the staff
people have a comfortable job as they have routine life and their work schedule is also
xviii

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 18/73
fixed from 9 A.M to 5 P.M. on the other hand the line people have to work in shifts
and the shifts changes every week.
6.0 THE PANCHMAHAL DAIRY FROM THE 7-S FRAMEWORK
Figure 3: 7-S Framework
Figure 3: 7-S Framework
6.1 Structure
Organization structure defines how tasks are to be allocated, who reports to whom,
and the formal coordinating mechanisms and interaction patterns that will be
followed. Organization structure has three components: complexity, formalization and
centralization. Complexity refers to the degree of differentiation that exists within the
organization. Horizontal differentiation considers the degree of horizontal
separation between the units. The horizontal differentiation was high as the
organization is having various plants located at different places. The Panchmahal
dairy had commissioned a 100 MT/day capacity Cattle Feed Plant at Khandia, in
xix
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 19/73
Shehra Taluka in November 2004. The organization has three chilling centres located
at Lunawada (Chopda), Limdi and Shivrajpur. For providing artificial insemination a
Frozen Semen Station was also established in the dairy premises. At present there is
1600 Dairy Cooperative Societies working under the organisation.
Vertical differentiation refers to the depth of the organizational hierarchy. The
vertical differentiation is high in production department but it is low in other
departments.
Formalization refers to the degree to which jobs within the organization are
standardized. There are explicit job descriptions, lots of organizational rules and
clearly defined procedures covering work processes in the organization. There is very
less scope of doing anything beyond the laid down rules.
Centralization refers to the degree to which decision making is concentrated at a
single point in the organization. It is concerned with the dispersion of authority to
make decisions within the organization. In the Panchmahal dairy, most of the
financial powers rest with “Board of Directors”. The diagram of organization
structure has been given in Appendix 1.
The main functions of the organisation are:
1. Procure milk from Panchmahal and Dahod areas
2. Selling milk and milk products to the nearby markets
3. Providing cattle improvement facilities to the farmers through veterinary camps
and member education
4. Providing cattle feed
5. Group insurance schemes under the cooperative setup for the farmers in LIC of
India.
6. Provide different welfare activities to the members under the co-operative
principle of social concern with the help of the Government of Gujarat and other
funding agencies such as UNICEF, GEDA etc.
The plant has been divided into following sections according to their functions: Dairy
dock and processing, Engineering, Internal audit, Purchase, Care taking, Security (on
contract), Marketing, Quality control, Transport pool, and Central store, Accounts,
Establishment, Information, Projects and Inputs and Cattle feed plant.
There is departmentalization by virtue of horizontal differentiation in the Panchmahal
dairy. The above-mentioned sections have been segregated to the ten departments:
Personnel & Administration (P&A), Marketing, Account, Procurement, System,
xx
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 20/73
Production, Purchase & Storage (P&S), Engineering, Projects & Inputs (P&I) and
Quality & Control (Q&C). The different departments are segregated on the basis of
their functions and specializations.
The elite departments are the Procurement Department and the P&A (Personnel and
Administration) Department. They derive this distinction on the basis of their
criticality to the organisation or their closeness to the power centres. The Procurement
department personnel are in close contact with the Board of Directors and hence have
a network centrality. The P&A department is dominant by virtue of its powers in the
various administrative matters.
6.2 Strategy
Strategy refers to the determination of long-term goals and objectives of the
organization, and the adoption of courses of action and the allocation of resources
necessary for carrying out these goals. Strategy can be viewed as premeditated or as
something that can become clear only over the time. Strategy considers both means
and ends.
The main strategy followed by the organization is market` differentiation strategyunder which the organization is trying to offer higher quality products and also new
products. By using techniques like advertising, market segmentation and prestige
pricing the organization is becoming more and more market oriented. The other main
strategy applied by the organization is that of cost control. This is mainly done by
reducing the wastage and other expenditures those are unnecessary in nature.
When we see the strategies followed by the organization from the view point of
“Miles and Snow” (1960s) then the organization will come under the category of
Analyzers. Under this strategy the goals become stability and flexibility in the
changing environment. It has achieved stability over the years of its functioning as a
significant player in the local market. Also, it needs flexibility to change itself quickly
according to the changing environment in which it operates. Being an Analyzer type
of organization, it refrains from taking risks, and tries to get maximum benefits out of
the opportunities offered by the market. It waits for performance of new products
launched by other players and if they succeed, the organization quickly offers that
product in the market. The structure is moderately centralized and there is tight
xxi

control over current activities. The Panchmahal dairy started manufacturing Amul’s
masti dahi and amul’s kool flavoured milk after it became successful in the market.
The dairy is smaller in comparison to other sister dairies so it can’t afford to take risks
as prospectors. The dairy wants to minimize risk while maximising the profit.

Figure 5: The Five Generic Competitive Strategies Framework by Michel
Porter
The Panchmahal dairy follows a Best-Cost Provider Strategy
Strategic Target: At present the Panchmahal dairy is targeting customers of all the
strata of income, which can be understood from the type of milk it is selling to
consumers. The dairy is having milk with 1.5% fat for lower end consumers and it is
having whole milk with 6% fat for higher end consumers.
Basis of competitive advantage: The dairy is having competitive advantage over
“doodhiyas” who are its main competitor. The dairy is able to supply milk to
consumers through out the year where as it is not so with doodhiyas.
Product Line: The dairy is having wide line of products to cater people from
different strata. It is also manufacturing milk products besides milk of different types.Product Range: A wide array of products ranging from common milk products to
products like flavored milk, gulab jamun mix, ghee, etc.
Production Emphasis: Various cost cutting measures with newer advanced
technology have been taken in past. The dairy tries to utilize all the by-products which
is formed during the production process.
Marketing Emphasis: The dairy has the emphasis on providing better quality
products to consumers at less marketing cost. The quality of the products is
maintained despite of high quality of the products. The Panchmahal dairy has not
xxiv
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 24/73
increased the price of the milk for four years and strived to maintain the same price in
spite of increase in costs of various inputs.
Sustenance of the strategy: Developing a sustainable competitive advantage by
simultaneously cutting costs and improving product attributes.
Another important part of the strategy reflects from its short-term planning, which
contains the goals that the Panchmahal dairy aims to complete in next two to three
years. Following are the various targets that it envisages to achieve in coming years.
These targets are revised on an annual basis and if need arises, changes are
incorporated in the plan.
• The Amul Kool flavoured milk processing plant's capacity will be doubled to
meet the demand of flavoured milk.
• The Amul brand milk has become popular and to meet the demand of this
brand at Indore, Bhopal and Dhar, the milk union, with the financial assistance
from GCMMF, packaging plant has been set-up at Devas in M.P.
• Branded cattle feed varieties mainly the Panchamrut, Panchamrut Special and
Panchmrut Super Special will be made in 25, 50 and 65 kilogram packs.
• The Bye-pass Protein Feed Production will also commence in near future.
• The area- specific Panchamrut Mineral Mixture containing required nutrients
will be manufactured and provided in easy to handle packs of 1 and 5
kilogram.
• Use of Bio-fertilizer will be encouraged and therefore Vermi Composting
Demonstration Farms will be established.
• Bulk Milk Chilling Units will be established in the remote areas of Dahod, at
Kharedi and Dhanpur.
• The District Co-operative Society (DCS) procuring 500 LPD or more milk
will be provided with Bulk Chilling Unit, on demand.
• Installation of a new Spray Drying Plant to manufacture ''Amulya'' powder
milk which is undergoing at present.
• Installation of used self-clarifier and cream separator of ''waste falia'' to
manufacture excellent milk products.
• Augmenting the capacity of the ETP plant from 4.5 lakh litres per day to 12
lakh litres per day.
xxv
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 25/73
• Undertaking research under the technical guidance of the GCMMF to
manufacture '' Amul Basundi''.
• Initiating the ''Heifer Project'' for the ideal rearing of the female calf.
6.3 System
6.3.1 Management of Information System
An information system may be a system that creates information and manages the
same for the stakeholders of the system to provide an ambience to take some informed
decisions. The Panchmahal dairy has developed MIS system, data from the different
departments like Marketing, Production, and Purchase etc is analyzed to generate
reports which is of immense benefit to the management while taking critical decisions
on the operational and tactical issues of the Union. The core processes are normally
attached to the objective of the organization and do not change very often.
The support processes are those that provide support to core processes to happen.
These processes provide either indirect or direct support to the core processes and
directly influence the actors and its properties.
Management processes formulate strategies and even identify the process rules,
logics, processes itself.
MIS has become a one of the important systems in the Panchmahal dairy after the
initiative of the GCMMF. The MIS department has only two employees one of whom
is at the rank of deputy manager and the other is of clerical rank.
6.3.2 Management by Objective at the Panchmahal dairy
In order to achieve performance targets based upon participation of each department,
the Panchmahal dairy is following the policy of management by objectives (MBO).
Under this system targets are set for each department by the consensus of all the
employees. These objectives are then reviewed on a monthly basis and based upon
that are revised again. For example, a typical MBO for accounts department would be
about reduction of expenses in the department and then there would be a comparison
with previous month whether there was an increase or decrease. This helps all the
departments in reviewing their performances and since objectives are set by
consensus there is unanimity in achieving them.
6.4 Style
xxvi
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 26/73
Some of the key characteristics along which the style of the Panchmahal dairy was
captured as follows:
6.4.1 Individual Initiative
Individual initiative in employees varies from department to department as different
departments have different scope of responsibilities assigned to them. Also since the
most of the systems and procedures are already established scope for individual
initiative is also limited.
6.4.2 Risk Tolerance
Risk tolerance is low in the Panchmahal dairy, as most of the decisions require the
approval of the Board of Directors. All the decisions, which involve capital
expenditure of more than Rs. 50,000, cannot be approved even by the GM and require
the permission of board of directors.
6.4.3 Direction
In this dairy, the management uses various tools to facilitate direction and uses
Management by Objectives (MBO) on a monthly basis for setting targets to be
achieved by various departments. Besides this, top hierarchy provides regulation to its
sub-ordinates whenever required.
6.4.4 Integration
There is reasonable degree of integration amongst various departments in the
Panchmahal dairy. Various projects run in the dairy with the coordination of one and
other departments where Personnel & Administration plays major role in integrating
them with the help of Management Information System (MIS).
6.4.5 Management support
Management support is one of the strengths at the Panchmahal dairy as managers are
in constant touch with their subordinates providing timely directions and support to
their subordinates.
6.4.6 Control
xxvii
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 27/73
Since, it is a cooperative organisation there are many rules and regulations, stipulated
by the act and byelaws, which it needs to comply with. Approval from registrar is
required for all the important matters concerned with employees.
6.4.7 Identity
There exist multiple subcultures within the organisation largely on the basis of
departments. An integrated organizational identity is not very strong and employees
generally view themselves as the employees of a particular department rather than of
the organisation as a whole.
6.4.8 Conflict tolerance
In order to handle conflicts and grievances of employees in a constructive manner,monthly and bimonthly meetings of employees and management representatives take
place where they are encouraged to express their views and differences. Management
also tries to find solutions to such conflicts and grievances before they get aggravated.
6.4.9 Communication pattern
There is an existence of scalar chain in the Panchmahal dairy, most of the
communication pattern follows the hierarchical chain of authority. The
communication flow is mostly downward from the top management to the middle
management and so on.
6.5 Skills
6.5.1 Productivity flexibility
Based upon the demand conveyed by the marketing department after integrating the
requisition put forward by the agents and GCMMF, the production department
produces the daily demand. This daily demand is highly fluctuating and keeping inmind the fact that the installed capacity of the plant is only about 2 lakh LPD; the
production department displays a commendable flexibility in handling such a
fluctuating demand. It converts the surplus milk in the skimmed milk powder and
other milk products as and when necessary after meeting the regular demand of liquid
milk.
6.5.2 Quality assurance
xxviii
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 28/73
Quality assurance is one of the strengths of the Panchmahal dairy. It follows quality
standards of the highest order in the production and delivery of various products. It
has earned ISO 9000, QAS and HACCP certification in recognition of its
commitment towards quality.
6.6 Staff
6.6.1 Recruitment process
The recruitment for the technical and non-technical staffs is done by the Personnel &
Administration (P&A) department. The recruitment committee consists the following
members:
- Board of Directors
- Managing Director
- Departmental Head
- Outside Expert from NDDB & GCMMF Ltd.
- D. G. M. (P&A)
Source of Recruitment:
- Internal advertisement within the dairy.- Internal candidates by way of promotion of higher posts and
- Employment Exchange,
- Advertisement in reputed newspapers.
- Campus interview for technical post.
The qualifications and eligibility for recruitment to the various posts excluding
technical posts are the same as they were at the time of the establishment of the
Union. Some officials expressed the need for their revision particularly in the light of
the growing professionalism in the industry. The cumbersome procedure that requires
the approval of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies and has to be routed through
the Board of Directors is the biggest impediment in the revision of outdated eligibility
criteria as perceived by some officials. Surprisingly some of the forms which were
there in circulation thirty years ago are still in use in the dairy as we have found in the
engineering department where still they opt for I.T.I. qualified persons when
engineers are willing to work in the department.
xxix
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 29/73
Procedure of Recruitment
The recruitment in the Panchmahal dairy is based on the principle of internal
selections i.e. only employees from within the Union are invited for the required posts
in the first case. If an internal selection is not possible then the recruitment is done
through selection of employees from its sister concerns i.e. the other milk Unions
under GCMMF.
Only if the above two methods fail to yield any result, an open interview is conducted
after placing an advertisement in regional newspapers and magazines. After receiving
applications, the personnel department scrutinizes them and prepares a list of
candidates for written test / interview for all the posts. Now a day, the selection of
technical persons is being done through the campus interview in the reputed colleges
as we have found in the case of technical officers in production department who are
being recruited from “Dairy Technology College” and also in case of veterinary
officers who are recruited through campus interview from “Veterinary College” of
“Anand Agriculture University”.
6.6.2 Induction
Induction is required for the purpose of introducing person to people with whom he is
going to work. To make person aware of the general policies, of the company certify
all doubts and provide him job instruction.
In Panchmahal Dairy, the induction process is working for officers & managerial
level only. The induction period is of two days.

6.6.3 Training activities
Both in-house and outhouse trainings are conducted for imparting trainings of various
kind to employees.
The Personnel and Administration (P&A) department makes a yearly schedule for
conducting various training programmes at the beginning of every year and thus the
trainings are carried out according to this preplanned yearly schedule.
6.6.4 Performance appraisal system
Performance appraisal means to motivate employees for better performance by
providing good incentives, promotions services & more payment. By the records of
whole year the organization will appreciate their employees.
The personnel department conducts performance appraisal of all, the employees every
year through the immediate supervisor. The personnel department sends performance
appraisal forms to the departmental heads and requests them to return with full details
within 30 days. After receiving the forms, the HOD (P & A) prepares a brief report of
all the employees and places it before the Managing Director for review and
comments.
In the PDCMPUL, performance appraisal system is applied through the basis of
following criteria:
xxxi
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 31/73
1. Job Performance 2. Knowledge of Job
3. Accuracy of work 4. Use of working time
5. Conduct on the job 6. Ability to learn
7. Capacity and willingness to develop 8. Report with supervisor
9. Initiative 10. Innovativeness
11. Trustworthiness (Integrity) 12. Leadership Quality
If there is any lacuna find in technical knowledge, the concerned employee is sent for
appropriate training programme.
6.6.5 Promotion and transfer
The dairy has introduced two types of promotion policy (1) merit cum seniority
promotion (ii) time scale promotion.
As the time of promotion, the employees' confidential report, performance appraisal
report, qualification, experience, departmental head's report, and work motivation
factors are analyzed. The employees have to appear for an interview before the
selection committee. So far as time bound promotion is concerned, if a particular
employee completed his / her stipulated service tenure with above terms and
conditions he is eligible to get time bound promotion. In case the existing posts are
not available for time bound promotion, the dairy gives them time scale in the present
post with some additional responsibility.
The Dairy motivates its employees from time to time through several steps.
i) To give certain authority as per rules.
ii) Praise the employees on their work performance.
iii) Monetary rewards for good contribution and suggestions.iv) Providing fringe benefits.
v) Providing health insurance schemes and other developmental activities.
6.6.6 Worker and management relations
Worker management relations are healthy and harmonious at the Panchmahal dairy.
There is no union of workers here. The joint meeting of the various departments helds
generally monthly or bimonthly to sort out any differences or to settle any policy
matter relating to one-another. The employees have responded enthusiastically and
xxxii
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 32/73
the work culture is excellent which can be exhibited through our following
observations.
- Employees have developed good confidence in the work and management.
- They willingly carry out higher responsibilities.
- They have reached target within the time.
- Employees motivate each others.
- Team building and organizational spirit are excellent.
- Productivity and quality of work have increased.
- There is a good industrial relations system.
6.6.7 Employee turn-over rate
Employee turn over rate had been almost nil in the general cadre and the number of
employees have remained nearly constant since few years. The reason for this low
turnover rate can be assigned to it being a semi government organisation. The
employees prefer the sense of job security here to the opportunities of growth on the
basis of performance in private organisation. But, the turn over rate of the technical
employees' especially dairy technologists is quite high due to the low salary package
as well as slow and steady growth.
6.7 Shared value
6.7.1 Core values
Core value of the Panchmahal dairy is welfare of the farmers. Farmers have to be
provided secured and viable market for their milk. Farmers are given the top priority
in all decision-makings. Besides this, the organization has to ensure supply of milk
and milk products to the consumers in Panchmahal, Dahod and its nearby areas
regularly and at competitive price.
In one study conducted it was found that 83% of money earned by the dairy goes back
to farmers.
6.7.2 Vision
Vision of the organization is to improve the socio-economic status of the rural mass
engaged in the profession of the dairy farming and cattle management through
cooperative.
xxxiii
8/14/2019 OU > PANCHMAH > OU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ou-panchmah-ou 33/73
The Panchmahal dairy makes persistent effort to attain the goals through participation
in management by farmers particularly by small farmers and landless agricultural
laborers with the technical help from the NDDB. The organization wants to achieve
goals by including all the aspects of dairying, animal production, health coverage,
feed and fodder development and marketing of the milk products.
6.7.3 Mission
The union as such does not have any explicit mission but the same is reflected in its
quality policy, which states, “We are committed to excellence, both in providing the
best quality inputs and service to our esteemed milk producers and excellent quality
of milk and milk products patron consumers.
“We shall continue to adopt this state of the art technology, HACCP
principles and innovations for manufacturing products and providing congenial and
healthy environment to encourage excellence in every area.”
It shows the Panchmahal dairy's total commitment to maintain consistency in quality
of products and services, application of innovative techniques and the state of the art
in technology, developing motivated and dedicated workforce, application of quality
and food safety management systems and ensuring continual improvement.

7.2 Procurement Department
The procurement department is one of the most important departments in any dairy
since it is responsible for bringing the basic raw material i.e. milk from the producers
to the milk union. The procurement department decides the area of the operation,
villages from which it would procure milk in consultation with other departments and
also decides the routes on which vehicle would ply to fetch the milk from the
producers. It gives a contract to a transporter to run its vehicle on one route or a no. of
routes. It decides the timing at which each vehicle would collect the milk from the
dairy cooperative societies and would reach to the dairy union. The milk is collected
at the dairy cooperative societies in cans. The milk vehicle reaches at the village at a
fixed time and collects it. The cans bear the name of the dairy cooperative society.
The vehicle collects all the cans from the route assigned to it and then it brings them
to the dairy where they are emptied at the dairy dock.
The procurement department also provides technical equipments to the society and
provides services for their maintenance. A procurement supervisor constantly checks
the accounts as well as functioning of the society. If sometimes any problem crops up
in the society the procurement department tackles it.
The chief functions performed by procurement department are:
• To ensure timely and regular supply of milk from the producers to the dairy
union
• To ensure that the dairy cooperative societies are functioning well and
maintaining norms specified by the dairy union.
• To provide technological help to the dairy societies
• To make efforts to maximize the milk procurement especially in the lean
season.
• To ensure that the milk reaches safely to the union without deterioration in the
milk quality and accordingly make arrangements for transport etc.
Currently the capacity of the Panchmahal Dairy is to process 2 lakh liters per day
while it is only able to procure somewhere 1.5 lakh liters in lean season and up to 3.25
lakh liters in flush season. During 2004-05, the Milk Union registered an increase of
8% in milk collection with an average collection of 2.58 lakh liters of milk everyday
and on an average paid Rs.191 per kilo fat for the milk purchased from the milk co-

operative societies. Since, the work of the expanding the capacity of the milk
processing plant from the existing 2 lakh liters per day to 4 lakh liters per day is on
the verge of completion, the procurement department plans to implement the
following strategies with the help of Project & Input department to increase the
procurement in the current future.
• To give a better price to the producers.
To motivate farmers to bring milk to the societies.
To enhance and speed up veterinary services in the villages.
To review its artificial insemination program for which they have also hired a
consultant from NDDB.
To form an alliance with leading banks such as Bank of Baroda to provideloan to the farmer for milch animal.
Better provision of other input services such as cattle feed, fodder seeds etc. to
the farmers at subsidized rates.
Figure 6: Procurement-cum-distribution channel.
The milk which is collected in the dairy cooperative societies are brought to the dairy
through vans or mini trucks. The job of transportation of milk and milk products have
been outsourced to local transporters. In this way the dairy is able to reduce the cost.
The milk in the dairy is then pasteurized and standardized according to the demand in
the market. Then it is packaged in different types of packs and then it is stored in the

the purchase department to the suppliers to submit quotations on or before due date.
After receiving the quotation, a quotation opening committee that consists of clerks
each from purchase and account department opens the quotation and sends it to the
purchase department.
The quotation has details of material specification, price, suppliers name and other
details. A comparative statement is prepared by the purchase department which is
analyzed by purchase manger and suitable recommendation is given by him. It is
further sent to the concerned department which checks if there is any deviation from
originally raised indent and gives his opinion on the comparative statement. It is then
sent to purchase committee, which consists of managers from production, accounts,
procurement, purchase and general manager. For any decision at least 3 managers
should be present out of which presence of purchase and accounts head is must.

much material is to be purchased and from whom is taken, thereafter it is sent to M.D
for approval. If approved it is sent for audit. Auditor audits it and sends it to purchase
head, which places purchase order to the supplier to supply goods within a fixed
period. Material is received at stores department, which sends information to the
concerned department as well as quality control department in case of chemicals and
films. After inspection a Goods Received Note (GRN) is prepared which consists of
all the details about the material. This GRN is sent to the concerned department head
for clearance, which comes to the purchase department head along with GRN and bill.

A pride in place for the Union is the sale and export of Panchamrut Ghee. The Ghee
worth Rs. 2 Crores was exported to the Gulf countries that mainly include Abu Dhabi,
Dubai, Bahrain and Oman. During the year under annual report, 2671MT Ghee was
produced and 2478 MT Ghee supplied to consumers. The Union also Produced 2161

7.6.1 Functioning of Marketing Department
The marketing department chiefly operates through retailers/ agents who give the
entire demand to the marketing department. While doing the assessment of the total
demand, the demand of each individual retailer as well as private shops is taken into
consideration. The agents get milk according to the indents raised by them. The
transport vehicle which is hired by the dairy is used for transport of milk from the
dairy to the agents of different towns. The agents wait for the vehicle at the pre-
decided place for getting their indents. The agents get milk in crates of the dairy. The
agents have to return the crates during the return journey of the vehicle. At present,
the retailers get the commission of 40 paisa per liters for all type of milks. At present
for a person to be a retailer/ agent he has to first apply to the union with giving the
security money of Rs. 15000.
Customers can be divided into two categories – institutional and general retail
customers. Institutional customers include hospitals, hotels, canteens, hostels andmanufacturing units in and around city. The retail customers are served through
established agent network in city.
7.6.2 Customer Handling Procedure
There is no formal arrangement for taking customer feedback directly from the
customers however the union handles customer’s complaints through retailers. For
this purpose each lot is given a machine number and the date of packaging and onesample from each lot is maintained by the quality control department. On customer
complaints two persons one from marketing and the other from quality department
examines who is at fault. It could be because of the mistake in the distribution channel
or even the customer may be at fault. However we observed that most of the retailers
were not happy about the way union handles their complaints about leakage. They
also showed their dissatisfaction on the commission that they get on selling milk as
the commission for the agents had not been revised since 2000.

8.0 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net profit margin ratio is quite low all the years because high fat price is paid to the
producers for their milk. And all the benefit is transferred to them. In a study
conducted by the managing director of the dairy it was found that 83% of the money
earned is again goes back to farmers. The current ratio of the dairy is less than 1 at
present which is not a healthy sign. The dairy should return some of the loans which it
had incurred and get some long term debt if it has liquidity crunch. Acid test ratio for
the bank is also very less. The debt-equity ratio has increased in the current financial
year because of the huge loan taken from N.D.D.B for the future perspective plan.The top management should plan strategically for getting higher return on investment
because the return is low as well as it has decreased in the current year.
