Why Mumbai Dabbawalas???
• Carrying dabbas difficult in crowded trains
• Expense of out-side food
• Preference for home-cooked food
• Poor quality of office cafeterias
• Lunches prepared at home and delivered by the dabbawalas after the morning rush
hour
6
4 Reasonsthe DabbawalaSC Succeeds While Corporate
Giants Struggle
• No over-reliance on technology
• Create an integrated performance chain: As a whole
• Acute visibility: Understand exactly is happening
and when. All know what to do
• Keep it simple. Real simple: Give customers what
they want, don’t try anything else
7
Supply Chain
• Key: Mumbai Suburban Railway (Mumbai local trains)
• Bicycles and handcarts to travel short distances
Workers have 40
seconds to load
the crates of
dabbas onto a
train at major
stations and just
20 seconds at
interim stops.

2. Coding System
3. Employees
9
1. SCM
• Dabbawalas use cycles or go by foot to household: waiting time 2 minutes
• Dabbawalas has to assemble at reported collection point at sharp 9. 30 am: nearest
railway station
• The next mode of transport is the trains
• From Destination station the dabbas are carried to the destination zones
• Then the lunch boxes are carried to the offices: Lunchtime
• From here the reverse process starts
• No slack at any point of time 10
2. Coding System
• BVI: Borivali, a suburb in Mumbai. This denotes the residential station
• 9 RC 14: Code for Dabbawalas at destination. This user code is different for each
customer
• RC: Raheja Chambers, name of a building or office
• 14: Floor Number
• E: Code for Dabbawala at Destination station. For example, E is a code for Nariman
Point, Churchgate
• Jain: Name/Surname of the customer
11
3. Employees

Editor's Notes

  2. No over-reliance on technology. Sure, the dabbawalas are now using Web technology and SMS for orders, but for the most part this is a fairly low-tech operation. It relies on trains and barefoot men. No computer chips. No social networks. Just guys busting their humps and a reliable train service. The lesson for organizations? Don’t expect technology to solve your issues — usually the issue has more to do with process, execution and expectations than it does bits and bytes. Create an integrated performance chain. In other words, the dabbawala system keeps its eye on the sum — not the individual parts. When you boil it down to simple terms, a performance chain is really just a system of moving pieces. Focus too much on those individual pieces and you get hung up in the details and, as a result, are less efficient. Concentrate on the entire system and flow of products and information and you have a much better chance of success. Acute visibility. The beauty of the dabbawala-based system is that all of the dabbawalas understand exactly what is happening and when — to the minute. If certain deadlines and hand-offs are missed, people don’t eat. It’s as simple as that. Make sure everyone within your chain understands what he or she needs to do, where they need to be and what needs to happen for the chain to be successful. Keep it simple. Real simple. One of the key lessons any organization can learn from the dabbawalas is the simplicity with which this system works. The dabbawalas are intimately aware of what their customers value (food delivered on time, every day). And, just as importantly, they don’t try to do anything other than that. They don’t overcomplicate things. They don’t add extraneous value. They simply understand what their customers want, and they focus 100 percent of their time and energy on meeting that need.
