Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946, is a dairy cooperative movement in India.

It is managed by Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF). AMUL is based in Anand, Gujarat and has been a sterling example of a co-operative organization's success in the long term. The Amul Pattern has established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for rural development. Amul has spurred the White Revolution of India. It is also the world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand.

 HISTORY OF THE COMPANY: The story of AMUL 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. Amul 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 AMUL revolution started as awareness among the farmers grew and matured into a protest movement. 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 throw away 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 could be 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) which was formally registered on December 14, 1946.
Currently AMUL has 2.28 million producer members with milk collection average of 5.08 million liters/day. Today AMUL is a symbol of many things. (High-quality products sold at reasonable prices, genesis of a vast cooperative network and a proven model for dairy development). The Kaira Union began pasteurizing milk for the Bombay Milk Scheme in June 1948.

The basic philosophy of production management is to launch a frontal attack on direct costs and effective use the availability manpower weaving new techniques in to the whole to keep the production unit efficient and developing production management is the process of planning, organizing, directing and controlling.

 The Amul is started with only 250 liters of milk per day. But now Amul collect average 9 lakhs of liters milk per day. At the initial stage, Amul has not any problem regarding milk, but in the winter season there was excess supply of milk. So, Amul has to sell out that excess milk at the low price or Amul has to face loss. To removing these problems Amul take decision to set up a plant to process the surplus milk butter and milk powder.

 The Amul has three plants Known as Amul 1, 2 & 3 all three plant work 24hours a day continuously. The all manufacturing process is done automatically. The production is done in the special machines. These machines and the technology are import-id from the TRFTA PEAK Company.

AMUL1 Presently it is use as a go down for storing raw materials. AMUL2 In this unit, the production process of Ghee and packing's are running. AMUL3 This unit is producing AMUL butter, spray power, and flavored milk.

 Milk Collection Cycle: The success of each and every dairy industry is the getting the milk from the farmers and making that milk in use as soon as possible before that milk get spoiled because the milk is the perishable product. For the smooth running the business of dairy industry the industry must concentrate on the milk collection cycle. Amul dairy is very conscious about the milk collection cycle because the base of the success of the Amul is milk collection cycle.

 Production capacity of Amul: Butter 50 to 60 Tones.

OPERATION DETAIL: MILK : One of the most versatile food consumed by us. All children start their with mothers milk and continue to use it in one other throughout their life. It is the secretion from the mammary glands of a lactating mammal. The white fluid, know as milk, is made up of milk fat and other milk solids. MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR MILK : MILK PROCUREMENT: Total milk procurement by our Member Unions during the year 2006-07 averaged 67.25lakh kilograms (6.7million kg) per day, representing a growth of 4.5 per cent over

64.38lakh kilograms (6.4 million kg) per day achieved during 2005-06. The highest procurement as usual was recorded during January 2007 at 84.09 lakh kilograms (8.4million kg) per day. This increase in milk procurement is very impressive, keeping in mind the massive loss suffered by our farmers due to floods during the monsoon season, specially in Surat district.

 MILK PROCESSING: 1. Homogenization: Milk must then be homogenized. Without homogenization, the milk fat would separate from the milk and rise to the top. Milk fat is what gives milk its rich and creamy taste. In this process Milk is transferred to a piece of equipment called a homogenizer. In this machine the milk fat is forced, under high pressure through tiny holes.

2. Pasteurization: Pasteurization is the process that purifies milk and helps it stay fresher, longer. Milk is pasteurized by heating it to 72C for 16 seconds then quickly cooling it to 4C. Pasteurization is named after Louis Pasteur, the famous scientist.

3. Adding Vitamins: Before homogenization, vitamin D is added to all milk. Vitamin D combined with the calcium that naturally exists in milk help gives us strong bones and teeth. Dairies also add Vitamin A to skim, 1% and 2% milk. Vitamin A is good for our eyesight.

4. Packaging Milk: Milk is now ready to be packaged. Milk is pumped through automatic filling machines direct into bags, cartons and jugs. The machines are carefully sanitized and packages are filled and sealed without human hands. During the entire time that milk is at the dairy, it is kept at 1 - 2C. This prevents the development of extra bacteria and keeps the milk its freshest.

5. Storing: Milk is delivered to grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants in refrigerated trucks that keep milk cooled to 1 - 4C. The stores take their milk and immediately place it in their refrigerated storage area. Because fresh milk is so important to our diets, dairies, and our health.

 Quality Policy: The motivated and devoted work-force of AMUL- are committed to produce wholesome and safe foods of excellent quality to remain market leader through deployment of quality management systems, state-of-arttechnology, innovation and eco-friendly operations to achieve delightment of customers and betterment of milk producers.

GCMMFS SUPPLY CHAIN

SUPPLY CHAIN AT AMUL: PROCESSING : After the union received the milk, it was tested and if it was found to be of good quality, it was sent for processing. If the milk was found to have high acidity, it was used to make buttermilk. Raw milk was sent through a filter and clarifier and was pasteurized. For pasteurization, milk was treated at high temperatures for a specified.

This helped in destroying the pathogens and in maintaining the quality. After pasteurization, the milk was sent through a separation machine. Here the cream was separated and skimmed milk was obtained. According to the demand, the unions packed the milk after it was pasteurized and sent for distribution. The cream was marketed as Amul Fresh cream

 Distribution:

GCMMF coordinated with various unions to get a regular supply of milk and dairy products. The processed milk and dairy products were procured from district dairy unions and distributed through third party distributors. To ensure quality and timely deliveries, GCMMF and the district unions had several mechanisms in place. The VCS constantly monitored the deliveries of the milk collected and ensured that the milk was picked up on time. The unions monitored the supplies of milk and the distribution of finished products.

 WARE HOUSING:
Amul products are available in over 500,000 retail outlets across India through its network of over 3,500 distributors. There are 47 depots with dry and cold warehouses to buffer inventory of the entire range of products. GCMMF transacts on an advance demand draft basis from its wholesale dealers instead of the cheque system adopted by other major FMCG companies. This practice is consistent with GCMMF's philosophy of maintaining cash transactions throughout the supply chain and it also minimizes dumping. Wholesale dealers carry inventory that is just adequate to take care of the transit time from the branch warehouse to their premises. This just-in-time inventory strategy improves dealers' return on investment (ROI). All GCMMF branches engage in route scheduling and have dedicated vehicle operation.
