Amul Supply Chain Management by Krupesh Shah!!Krupesh Shah
The Birth of Amul
Amul is a dairy cooperative based in the Anand district of Gujarat, India. The word amul is derived from the Sanskrit word amulya, meaning invaluable. The co-operative was initially referred to as Anand Milk Federation Union Limited and hence the name AMUL.
It all started 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 SardarVallabhbhai 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 on 1 December 1946.
This co-operative, the Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Ltd. began with just two village dairy co-operative societies and 247 litres of milk and is today better known as Amul Dairy.

The document provides an overview of Amul's supply chain management. It discusses how Amul collects milk from 3.18 million producers across 16,117 villages in India.

Amul's supply chain is coordinated through its apex cooperative organization, GCMMF, and relies on advanced IT systems to efficiently process payments and transport goods.
Amul has a large decentralized supply chain network comprising 3.6 million milk producers in Gujarat. Amul collects milk from village cooperatives and transports it to processing plants. The milk is then converted into products and distributed nationwide through regional centers to over 500,000 retail outlets.

Its cooperative model and focus on farmers has enabled Amul to become the largest food brand in India.

Kanban is a lean manufacturing concept used in supply chain management. It uses visual signals or cards to trigger the replenishment or production of materials or goods. At Toyota, kanban was developed to maintain improvements in production by reducing excess inventory. It works by controlling the rate of replenishment between processes through kanban cards or signals that provide permission to produce. This pull-based system allows production to be determined by actual customer demand rather than forecasts, improving inventory management and responsiveness throughout the supply chain.

Chapter 7. Supporting Business Strategy through Functional Strategies
In 2015, India’s packaged fruits drink market was valued at Rs. 11 billion (~US$200 million).
Dabur held a 55% share of the market, followed by PepsiCo at 30%; up from 50% and 25%
respectively a decade back. Fewer than 20% of the people in India consume fruit juices as part
of their diet, as compared to ~40% who consumed bottled water and ~60% who consumed coffee
and soft drinks. Over the past decade, the market has grown by 15-20% annually because of the
rising health-consciousness, and is expected to sustain that growth over the coming years. The
government of India has set targets to triple the size of processed food sector, by increasing the
level of processing of perishables from 6% to 20%, and value addition from 20% to 35%, as a
way to raise farm incomes (Sharma, 2015).
Dabur has been sourcing mass-produced lychee, guava, grapes, and mango juices from
the domestic vendors, and orange, apple, and pineapple concentrates from the overseas suppliers.
To be more responsive to the consumer needs, Dabur has been buying fruits directly from
farmers since 2004, and is processing them in-house in a new plant it set-up in Siliguri, West
Bengal. It has also migrated to a flexible production system to offer fruit in a variety of
specialized forms, such as juice, sauce, puree, smoothie, paste, and ketchup.
To grow its share of the overall market and grow even faster than the market, Dabur has
used customized Research and Development to boost the share of the under-served institutional
segment in its total sales from a fourth in 2003 to a third now. Amit Burman, the then CEO of
Dabur, noted, ‘Often, products are created when our [institutional] buyers tell us about their
culinary problems, which could range from getting pre-chopped onions in bulk to mixing the
best juice and yoghurt smoothie. As we have the experience and the network, and there is ample
capacity available in the country, it is easy for us to offer solutions (Srinivas, 2003).’
More flexible operations and sourcing system, and institutionally led marketing and
research effort has also helped Dabur realize its strategic intent of becoming a leader in the
broader processed fruits market, beyond just juices and concentrates.
In the previous chapter, we learnt about the three different types of business strategies –
cost leadership, differentiation, and growth mindset (besides ‘focus’). In addition to deciding
the overall strategy for their business, executives also need to develop and align functional core
competencies. Dabur’s growth business strategy has required new competencies in supply chain,
research and development, operations, and marketing. Each function relies on different and
specific techniques and technologies to achieve the common business objectives of cost
efficiency, customer and quality ...

Chapter 7. Supporting Business Strategy through Functional Strategies
In 2015, India’s packaged fruits drink market was valued at Rs. 11 billion (~US$200 million).
Dabur held a 55% share of the market, followed by PepsiCo at 30%; up from 50% and 25%
respectively a decade back. Fewer than 20% of the people in India consume fruit juices as part
of their diet, as compared to ~40% who consumed bottled water and ~60% who consumed coffee
and soft drinks. Over the past decade, the market has grown by 15-20% annually because of the
rising health-consciousness, and is expected to sustain that growth over the coming years. The
government of India has set targets to triple the size of processed food sector, by increasing the
level of processing of perishables from 6% to 20%, and value addition from 20% to 35%, as a
way to raise farm incomes (Sharma, 2015).
Dabur has been sourcing mass-produced lychee, guava, grapes, and mango juices from
the domestic vendors, and orange, apple, and pineapple concentrates from the overseas suppliers.
To be more responsive to the consumer needs, Dabur has been buying fruits directly from
farmers since 2004, and is processing them in-house in a new plant it set-up in Siliguri, West
Bengal. It has also migrated to a flexible production system to offer fruit in a variety of
specialized forms, such as juice, sauce, puree, smoothie, paste, and ketchup.
To grow its share of the overall market and grow even faster than the market, Dabur has
used customized Research and Development to boost the share of the under-served institutional
segment in its total sales from a fourth in 2003 to a third now. Amit Burman, the then CEO of
Dabur, noted, ‘Often, products are created when our [institutional] buyers tell us about their
culinary problems, which could range from getting pre-chopped onions in bulk to mixing the
best juice and yoghurt smoothie. As we have the experience and the network, and there is ample
capacity available in the country, it is easy for us to offer solutions (Srinivas, 2003).’
More flexible operations and sourcing system, and institutionally led marketing and
research effort has also helped Dabur realize its strategic intent of becoming a leader in the
broader processed fruits market, beyond just juices and concentrates.
In the previous chapter, we learnt about the three different types of business strategies –
cost leadership, differentiation, and growth mindset (besides ‘focus’). In addition to deciding
the overall strategy for their business, executives also need to develop and align functional core
competencies. Dabur’s growth business strategy has required new competencies in supply chain,
research and development, operations, and marketing. Each function relies on different and
specific techniques and technologies to achieve the common business objectives of cost
efficiency, customer and quality ...

position and makes it virtually immune to imitation by competition.

We all know Amul as one of India’s most recognized brands – as a bellwether that
has shaped a significant portion of the country’s economic and agrarian history.
One of Amul’s primary achievements (which is often ignored) is it established that
cooperatives can also be competitive, sustainable, independent and profitable
in the face of national, and even well-muscled international commercial rivals.
This paper explores how Amul built its strategic ‘fit’ as a farmer-owned, profit-
distributing co-operative as well as a lean, market-savvy, R&D-oriented corporate
entity.
First, it created a set of powerful, scalable, sector-specific competitive advantages
that helped it take a leadership position in its market. Next, it ensured these
activities complemented each other, creating a network of interdependent
advantages that are, by design, very difficult for competitors to imitate.
Amul’s strategic ‘fit’ is a clear and uniquely Indian addition to celebrated examples
like Southwest Airlines, Starbucks and Ikea.
Executive Summary
4. Strategic fit is a network of interdependent and complementary differentiators
designed to provide the company with a unique and sustainable competitive
advantage. From the company’s perspective, it is the process of taking up a clear
strategy based on unique activities relevant to the market – and then
building/matching all its resources and capabilities to strengthen this unique-ness.
For example, Southwest Airlines, a US-based carrier, has been profitable for 41
consecutive years now. Its recipe is a strategic fit, which it achieved by orienting
and developing all its capabilities with a single target customer in mind – the low-
cost flier looking for point-to-point routes between small towns and secondary
airports. While this part seems simple enough, it managed to shape every activity -
from aircraft selection to crew training to ticketing – into a set of differentiators that
supported (and were supported by) the other differentiators.

6. Amul began as a cooperative movement nearly 70 years ago, and has grown into a
federation of many cooperatives - 1,44,500 dairy cooperative societies across 188
districts in 22 Indian states. Their success has been built around combining the
advantages of a cooperative and a corporate model. It’s core strength lies in its
stated principles of a) Linking milk producers and consumers directly and eliminating
the middle-man, b) Ensuring milk producers also control up-stream activities like
processing and marketing, and c) Professional, commercially-sound management to
keep them competitive.
Amul operates on a 3-tier model, with cooperative entities at state, district and
village level. The village co-ops function as daily procurement cells. Milk then flows to
processing units at the district level, while the state unit coordinates marketing,
access, pricing and supply to consumers. It has also established a daily flow of cash
in the opposite direction – cash gets all the way back to village c-ops and farmers are
paid on the same day. This creates an intrinsically credit-efficient system which Amul
has utilized to full effect.

The Amul story
enParadigm | White Paper | Amul’s strategic fit | 6
8. Amul from the customer’s viewpoint:
1. Wide variety of products (most
comprehensive dairy portfolio by far)
2. Unparalleled reach (available across
the country)
3. Affordable prices (products at all price
points beginning with the lower end)
Pricing is a major source of advantage for
Amul. With its lean processing and
distribution and scale of operations, it has
the ability to balance surplus and deficit
in supply – a critical advantage in
extremely perishable goods.
Amul offers a full range of
dairy products, at almost every
identified price-point, across a
vast swathe of the country
with reliable deliveries,
assured quality and the
promise of each purchase
being a socially-conscious,
patriotic act.
enParadigm | White Paper | Amul’s strategic fit | 8
Amul leverages the advantages of both cooperatives and corporate entities, while
avoiding the pitfalls of both to create an effective ‘fit’. As a federation of cooperatives, it
constantly adds to its membership – creating a massive, loyal and geographically-
distributed supplier base, which is vital for perishable raw materials like milk.
Amul also exploits its social capital, as a successful co-op and a source of pride for
India – which means it needs to spend less than its competitors to generate the
same demand for its products.
Amul from a company’s viewpoint:
1. Massive, loyal supplier base (profit-distributing cooperative model)
2. Lean processing and distribution (outsources non-core activities)
3. Focus on research and development (appropriate reinvestment of profits)
Amul manages its R&D professionally, reinvesting its profits in quality and yield-
focused research, which ensures they stay abreast of large dairy corporations, while
miles ahead of other cooperatives.
Amul thus combines the best of both worlds (cooperative and corporate) to build,
maintain and constantly enhance a network of interdependent advantages that has
thus far proven to be imitation-proof.
