2. A PROJECT ON IS APPLICATION IN
OMFED
1. Project Objective
To study the supply chain of OMFED in order to understand the current operations,
challenges faced and make the necessary recommendations.
2. Introduction
The Orissa State Cooperative Milk Producers Federation also known as OMFED Milk
Federation affiliated to the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), situated at
Bhubaneswar, the state capital of Odisha. It is an apex level Milk Producers' Federation in
Orissa registered under Cooperative Society Act – 1962. OMFED was established based on
AMUL pattern under operation flood programme of National Dairy Development Board
(NDDB), for promoting, production, procurement, processing and marketing of milk & milk
products with a mission to integrate rural milk producer with urban consumer.
OMFED is controlled by a Board Of Directors which consists of Chairman of all affiliated
Dist. Cooperative Milk Producers" Unions, three nominees of Government of Orissa, a
nominee from the National Dairy Development Board and Managing Director of the
OMFED. The Chairman of the BOD is elected amongst the members of the Board. Here our
objective is to study current supply chain scenario of OMFED, identify operations going on,
challenges they face with current supply chain and give feasible suggestions for same.
The Prime activities of OMFED include:
1) Procurement of milk from the milk producers
2) Providing technical input in new and scientific methods to increase productivity of
milk in the state
3) Storing of the milk in their chilling centres
4) Processing, Packaging and Marketing of milk and milk products
3. 3. Business Model of OMFED
OMFED follows a 3-tier structure in its business. The 3 tiers are:
1) The Village Cooperative Society
2) The District Milk Union
3) Milk Federation
1) The Village Cooperative Society:
It is a voluntary association of milk producers in a village who are willing to sell their milk
on a collective basis. Any milk producer can be a member of this society by paying just a
nominal fee of Rs.1 and by purchasing a share of Rs.10. It is managed and controlled by a
committee and headed by a chairman. The committee is selected by its member and they
also select the chairman. There are some more people, who acts as aids to the committee,
like milk tester, secretary, etc.
2) The District Milk Union (DMU):
The collector of the district is the chairman of the District milk union. Its job is also to
provide technical inputs, training and sometimes even to provide cattle feed and fodder,
etc to the village societies. The MU gives various technical inputs to the producers to
enhance their milk productivity. This is done in the hope that excess productivity will
result in excess of surplus milk with the producers which he can then sell to the village
society. Some of the important Technical input programs are Embryo Transfer Technology
(ETT), Artificial Insemination, Feed & Fodder Programs, Training, etc.
3) Milk Federation:
The Federation is managed by a Board of Directors (BOD). The Federation has
representation from various MUs and also from the State Government of Odisha. The
BOD chooses a Chairman amongst its members.
4. 3.1 OMFED Supply Chain
Current Supply Chain of OMFED:
The milk is brought to the cooperative society by the milk producers twice a day, i.e.
early morning and evening.
A sample from each producer is taken and tested using the lactometer by the milk
tester.
The milk is then sold to the Milk Unions. They sell their milk to the nearest milk
unions only.
The MU then carries the milk by using hired transport vehicles to their processing
centers.
Milk is then chilled to 5 degree centigrade in the chilling centers.
The chilled milk is then sent to the nearest Federation Unit for Processing, Packaging
and Marketing.
The milk & milk products are being marketed by authorized retailers of OMFED
throughout the state.
It is supplied to the authorized retail centers in small hired OMFED trucks.
In this way, it reaches to its end users.
One of the important feature of this supply chain is, after the marketing of the
products, the achieved money realization is routed back through this supply chain to
the producers once in 10 days.
3.2 Challenges Faced by OMFED Supply Chain
1) Milk is a perishable item, so it has to be made readily available to the customer at the
right time.
2) As milk is collected from various cooperative societies and Milk Unions, it is difficult
to maintain consistently the product quality throughout the procurement chain.
3) There is an absence of well-furnished and improved ware houses with proper cold
storage facilities and cold chain enabled vehicles for maintain proper supply chain.
DISTRIBUTION
5. 4) One of the most important problems is of reverse supply chain. Any milk or milk
product that fails to get sold at retail outlets within the consumable period of the
product, it has to be brought back to the nearest dairy plants of the co-operative. This
stands for an approx 7-10% loss for the company. So, it becomes highly essential to
effectively forecast the customers’ demands to prevent undesirable losses.
5) It is necessary to have a clear understanding about the expected demand and actual
demand at each retailer’s outlet.
4. Methodology
We followed a different methodology to study the supply chain of OMFED which involves
the following three steps:
1. Step 1
Analysis of the existing operating structure of OMFED-
We analysed the whole existing structure of OMFED through various sources. A detailed
discussion regarding its distribution channels has been carried out starting from procurement,
marketing to finally delivering milk and its products to the customers.
2. Step 2
Identifying the areas of improvement in the supply chain-
After analyzing the present supply chain model we have found out some areas of
improvement of OMFED like more focus on quality and co-ordination of distribution
activities, demands of external and internal customers, developing infrastructure(warehouse,
roads etc),untapped rural market etc.
3. Step 3
Examining the scope of improvement in the operating efficiency after implementing IS-
We have to also look into the feasibility of implementing the Information System as well as
its long term sustainability.
6. 4.1 Tools and techniques
We have used the following tools while data collection.
Primary data collection- We have taken personal interview of Mr. Ashish Mohanty
(Supt of Finance, Berhampur, Odisha). We asked him various things about the supply
chain. It was very useful in studying the supply chain of OMFED.
Secondary data collection- We have also referred to the official website of OMFED
for getting more information. Besides that we have also taken information from
various research articles and journals to enrich our analysis.
Tools Used-We have two types of diagram to analysis the present supply chain of
OMFED. They are
1. Schematic diagram
2. Fish bone diagram
Schematic Diagram
The figure below shows the various stakeholders in the OMFED supply chain extending from
dairy promoted milk suppliers to consumers. Dairy promoted milk suppliers constitute Tier 1
and Tier 2 of the three tier structure and tier 3 is the dairy production unit. The suppliers are
depicted as S1 to Sn. The distributors, D1 to Dn reaches out to retailers R1 to Rn across the
state finally reaching the consumers. The tool was useful to analyse the supply chain of
OMFED in detail.
Fish Bone Diagram:
7. Fish Bone Diagram
Fish bone diagram was used as a tool to analyse the cause–effect relationship. It helped us to
identify the areas of improvement and examine the scope of improvement if IS is adopted in
the operations. The problem identified by us was the 7-10% loss of profit. The major factors
contributing to this problem are:
1. Suppliers
2. Management
3. Technology
4. Process
5. Environment
The various causes that contributes to the problem are late deliveries, inadequate quantity,
adulterated milk, poor demand forecast, incompetent workforce, outdated technology,
absence of smart IS, poor quality management system, poor process design, Temperature and
humidity.
8. 5. Key Findings
The Key findings of our study are
1. OMFED is not able to maintain a consistent quality of milk throughout the
procurement chain.
2. The demand forecast system is inaccurate.
3. There is a need to improve marketing with agents.
4. There is an absence of Information system for its operations.
6. Suggestions
The key issues identified, .i.e., poor quality of milk, inaccurate demand forecasting could be
addresses by implementation of ERP system. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business
process management software that allows an organization to use a system of integrated
applications to manage the business and automate many back office functions related to
technology, services and human resources.
The schematic diagram:
9. Electronic Miliko-Testers (EMT), PC connected electronic miliko-tester machines (known
as Automatic Milk Collection Systems – AMCS) will help in satisfactory milk collection
methods and facilitated immediate payments to farmers based on the quality and quantity of
milk delivered.
The milk brought by the farmers is weighed using weighing scale and milk samples are
analyzed using the Milk Analyzer. Quality Milk Collection, quick payments and Risk
minimization are some of the benefits of using this technology.
Automatic Milk Collection System units (AMCUS) at village societies installed to
automate milk producers logistics. AMCUS facilitates to capture member information, milk
fat contents, volume collected and amount payable to each member electronically.
Earlier, members had passbooks containing details like identification number, fat percentage
of milk and volume of milk. The volume of the milk was recorded in the passbook and a
small sample was stored in plastic bottles for measurement of the fat content. The testing of
the milk was done at a later date and the entire process used to take more than a week.
On an average, around thousand farmers come to sell milk at their local co-operative milk
collection centre. Each farmer can be given a plastic card for identification. At the milk
collection counter, the farmer drops the card into a box and the identification number is
transmitted to a personal computer attached to the machine. The milk is then weighed and the
fat content of the milk is measured by an electronic fat testing machine. Both these details are
recorded in the PC. The computer then calculates the amount due to farmer on the basis of the
fat content. The value of the milk is then printed out on a slip and handed over to farmer who
collects the payment .Also direct money transfer to the farmers bank account also could be
implemented for better transparency .The local server collects all the information and this
would be helpful in auditing, planning and in easy generation of various reports to check the
performance of the cooperative. The data from various collection centres can be periodically
transmitted to central server at the cooperate office. This will help the higher management in
evaluating the performance at different regions and hence taking effective decisions based on
accurate data.
The PC is connected to the Automatic Milk Collection Systems (AMCS) and has a Dairy
Information Services Kiosk (DISK) which offers an extensive knowledge and service
delivery mechanism through a Dairy Portal. The DISK when used with a Dairy Portal by the
10. Union enhances the scope of services that would benefit the farmers as well as the dairy
industry. Dairy farmers who are members of the cooperative will visit the milk collection
centre twice a day to deliver the milk. Thus, there exists enormous opportunity to interact
with them on the issues related to cooperative and union activities.
Use of information system will also help in addressing the issue of reverse supply chain. As
per the data from the distributers, the management would be able to forecast the demand
more accurately and reduce the wastage to some extent.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used for business planning and optimization
of collection processes. Geographical Information System (GIS) can be used at Head Office
and key Marketing Offices. Using the All India Map in GIS. They are in position to plot
zone/depot boundary as well as pointer for zone, depot & distributor locations, which are
superimposed by product-wise sales data. The same is being used for sales & distribution
planning and review. Moreover, GIS is being used for business planning activity at milk
centres & it covers animal census data. This can help in determining the average milk
production and productivity of cows. This ultimately helps in forecasting milk production
according to the region and suggests remedies, if any, for a region that has a lower milk
production rate.
Enterprises are establishing links with suppliers (Business-to-Business: B2B), and with
customers (Business-to-Customer: B2C) through the internet medium to minimize the lead
times and transaction costs. In addition, this medium is also perceived as an opportunity to
understand customers better, enhance the service quality and to introduce the new products
and services.
