INDUSTRY PROFILE
INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND
Dairying prior to operation flood:
The earliest attempts of dairy development can be traced back to British rule, when the
Defiance Department established military dairy farms to ensure the supply of milk and butter to the
colonial army. The first of these farms was set up in Allahabad in 1913; subsequent facilities were
established at Bangalore, Ootacamund and Karnal. These farms were well maintained. As animals
were reared under farm conditions, some herd improvement was made using artificial insemination.
This approach did not have any impact on the supply of milk to urban consumers, which was of
major concern to civilian authorities but less important to the military. With the growth of the
population in urban areas, consumers had to depend on milk vendors who kept cattle in these areas
and sold milk, often door-to-door. As a result several cattle sheds came into existence in different
cities.
To some extent, the Second World War gave impetus to private dairies with modestly
modernized processing facilities. In the cities like Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, and Delhi and in some
large townships, processed milk, table butter and ice-cream were available. Polsons, Kelventers and
the Express Dairy were some of the pioneer urban processing dairies. These dairies were not
concerned with improving the breed of milk animals but were content with contracting milk supplies
through middlemen or their own staff. Milk producers as well as consumers were exploited to a large
extent. Despite modernized processing facilities, dairying remained unorganized.
With the initiation of Indias first five-year plan in 1951, modernization of the dairy industry
became a priority of the government. The goal was to provide hygienic milk to the countrys growing
urban population. Initial government action in this regard consisted of organizing milk schemes in
large cities. To stimulate milk production, the government implemented the Integrated Cattle
Development Project (ICDP) and the Key Village Scheme (KVS), among other similar programmes.
In the absence of a stable and remunerative market for milk producers, however, milk production
remained more or less stagnant.
During the 1960s, various state governments tried out different strategies to develop dairying,
including establishing dairies run by their own departments, setting up cattle colonies in urban areas
and organizing milk schemes. Almost invariably, dairy processing plants were built in cities rather
than in the milk sheds where milk was produced. This urban orientation to milk production led to the
JSSATE-BANGLORE

establishment of cattle colonies in Bombay, Calcutta and madras. These government projects had
extreme difficulties in organizing rural Milk procurement and running milk schemes economically,
yet none concentrated on creating an organized system for procurement of milk, which was left to
contractors and middlemen. Milks perishable nature and relative scarcity gave the milk vendors
leverage, which they used to considerable advantage. This left government-run dairy plants to use
large quantities of relatively cheap, commercially imported milk powder.
All these factors combined left Indian dairying in a most unsatisfactory low-level
equilibrium. The establishment and prevalence of cattle colonies emerged as a curse for dairying in
the rural hinterland as it resulted in a major genetic drain on the rural milk animal population, which
would never be replaced. City dairy colonies also contributed to environmental degradation, while
the rural producer saw little reason to increase production.
Operation flood:
The strategy for organized dairy development in India was actually conceived in the late
1960s, within a few years after the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was founded in
1965. It rested on the Operation Flood programme, which was conceived by the NDDB and endorsed
by the government. Operation Flood is a unique approach to dairy development. During the 1970s,
dairy commodity surpluses were building up in Europe. The chairman of NDDB saw those surpluses
as both a threat and an opportunity. The threat was massive exports of low-cost dairy products to
India, which had it occurred, would have told the death-knell for Indias staggering dairy industry.
The large quantities that India was already importing had eroded domestic markets to the point where
dairying was not viable. The opportunity, on the other hand, was built into the Operation Flood
strategy. Designed basically as a marketing project, Operation Flood recognized the potential of the
European surpluses as an investment in the modernization of Indias dairy industry. With the
assistance of the World Food Programme, food aid in the form of milk powder and butter oil was
obtained from the countries of the European Economic Community (EEC) to finance the programme.
Operation Flood is a programme designed to develop dairying by replicating the An and
Model for dairy development, which has stood the test of time for almost half a century. The first
phase of Operation Flood was launched in 1970 following an agreement with the World Food
Programme, which undertook to provide as aid 126000 tonnes of skim milk powder and 42000
tonnes of butter oil to finance the programme.

The programme involved organizing dairy co-operatives at the village level; creating the
physical and institutional infrastructure for milk procurement, processing, marketing and production
enhancement services at the union level; and establishing dairies in Indias major metropolitan
centres. The main thrust was to set up dairy co-operatives in Indias best milk sheds, linking them
with the four main cities of Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras, in which a commanding share of
the milk market was to be captured. In achieving that goal, the first phase of Operation Flood laid the
foundation for Indias modern dairy industry, an industry that would ultimately meet the countrys
need for milk and milk products.
The second phase of the programme was implemented between 1981 and 1985. Designed to
build on the foundation laid in the first phase, it integrated the Indian Dairy Association-assisted
dairy development projects being implemented in some Indian states into the overall programme.
The current third phase of Operation Flood aims at ensuring that the co-operative institutions
become self-sustaining. The programme envisages substantial expansion of the dairy processing and
the marketing facilities; an extended milk procurement infrastructure; increased outreach of
production enhancement activities and professionalization of management in the dairy institutions.
National Dairy Development Board (NDDB)
National Dairy Development Board was established in 1965 under the Societies Registration
Act, the Charitable Trust Act and the Public Trust Act, to fill the vacuum of national-level
organization to replicate An and Model dairy co-operatives throughout the country and to make
available multidisciplinary, professional dairy expertise to dairies in the public and co-operative
sectors. During its initial stages, NDDB was assisted financially by the Government of India, the
Danish Government and by AMUL. It also received aid from the United Nations Childrens Fund
(UNICEF) in the form of teaching material and equipment.
In 1969, when the Government of India approved the Operation Flood programme and Its
financing through the monetization of World Food Programme-gifted commodities, it was found that
the statutes under which NDDB was registered did not provide for handling of government funds.
Therefore, in 1970 the government established a public-sector company, the Indian Dairy
Corporation. The IDC was given responsibility for receiving the projects donated commodities;
testing their quality; their storage and transfer to user dairies and receiving the dairy payments. Thus
it served as finance-cum-promotion entity while the entire Operation Flood technical support was
provided by NDDB. To avoid any duplication in their activities or overlap of functions, the IDC and

NDDB were eventually merged into a newly constituted NDDB by an Act of Parliament passed in
October 1987.
KARNATAKA MILK FEDERATION
Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) was instituted in 1984, by federating the 13 milk unions in
the state and thus forming the state level apex organization. As a co-operative apex body of the state
of Karnataka, it represents dairy farmers organization and also implements dairy development
activities to achieve the following objectives:

Provides assured and remunerative market for the milk produced by the farmer members.
Provide quality milk to urban consumers.
To build village level institutions in co-operative sectors to manage the dairy activities.
To ensure provision of milk production inputs, processing facilities and dissemination of

know-how.
To facilitate rural development by providing opportunities for self employment at village
level, preventing migration to urban areas, introducing cash economy and opportunity for
steady income.

Mckensys 7 Frame work theory applied to K.M.F.
INTRODUCTION:
The 7-s model is better known as McKenzie 7s. This was developed by Tom Peters and
Robert Waterman who had been consultants at the firm McKenzie. They published their 7-S model
in their article structure Is Not Organization (1980) and in their books The Art of Japanese
Management91981) and In Search of Excellence (1982). Just as the 7wonders of the world serve
as the mirror to worlds beauty, so does these 7elements constitute the entire company as a whole.
The model starts on the premise that an organization is not a Structure but consists of seven
elements namely:
1. STRUCTURE
2. SYSTEM
3. STRATEGY
4. SKILLS
5. STYLE
6. STAFF
7. SHARED VALUE

These seven elements are distinguished as, so called, hard Ss and soft Ss. The hard
elements are feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans,
organizational charts and documentation.

JSSATE-BANGLORE

Page 32

Customer satisfaction on KMF


The four soft Ss however, are hardly feasible. They are difficult to describe since
capabilities, values, and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing.
They are highly determined by the people at work in the organization. Therefore, it is much more
difficult to plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements.
DESCRIPTION

THE HARD Ss
Strategy:

Actions of company plans in response to or anticipation of changes in its

external environment.

Structure:Basis for specialization and co-ordination influenced primarily by strategy and by


organization size and diversity.

System:

THE SOFT Ss

Style/culture: the culture of organization consists of two components:

Formal and Informal procedures that support the strategy and structure.

1. Organization culture: the dominant values and beliefs, and norms, which develop
features of organizational life.
2. Management style: Fundamental responsibility of managers.

Staff:Human Resource Management-processes used to develop managers, ways of basic


values of management cadre and ways of introducing young recruits to the company.

Skills: The distinctive competencies and ways of expanding or shifting competencies.

Shared Value:Guiding concepts, fundamental ideas around which a business is builtmust be


simple, have great meaning inside the organization even though outsiders may not see or
understand them.

1. STRUCTURE:
A structure describes the hierarchy of authority and accountability in an organization these
relationships are frequently diagrammed in organizational charts. An organizations structure can be
deemed as the skeleton of the whole concern. A clearly defined or designed organizational structure

Weaknesses:
Lack of flexibility in deciding about its operation. No authority over issues like pricing,
offering volume discounts etc. The president of KMF and the Board of directors MYMUL
decides it.
Perishable commodity. Milk is Perishable commodity it cannot be store in long.
Lack of professional manpower. In MYMUL department heads are not based on
qualification.
Bureaucratic method of functions.
Lacking quality consistency because of seasonal changes in the supply of milk.
Less buffalo milk. Because of which customers preferring buffalo milk may get attracted to
other brands.
Inadequate sales promotional activity.
Due to bad smell that persists causes low sales.
Some private dairies are selling homogenized milk, which appears rich. The union cannot
homogenize all its huge quantity of milk due to lack of homogenizing capacity and increase
in processing cost.
MYMUL Organizational structure does not permit incentive/ reward for good performance of
an employee.
MYMUL Company should distribute their product directly to sellers without keeping any
middlemen and agents because part of profit is divided between middlemen and agents.
About 65-70% of the marketing is done directly the rest of 35-40% is done using middle
men.
Opportunities:

There is a phenomenal scope for innovation in product development, packing and


presentation.
Steps to taken to introduce value added products like shrikhands, ice-creams, paneer, khoa,

flavored milk, dairy sweets etc. this will lead to a greater presence and flexibility in the
market place along with the opportunities in the field of brand building.
Yet another aspect can be the addition of infant foods and nutritionals.
Increasing market demand for milk and milk products.
There is scope for developing in unexplored areas for milk processing as Nandini can extend
its equity of brand.
Addition of buffalo milk will improve market share.
Since the MYSORE district is under Cauvery basin, perennial greens are available to the
cattle. This makes the farmers to rare the cattle easily from this MYMUL is getting huge
amount of milk.
Institutional markets, bakeries, hotels etc., are not fully tapped and these can be captured
preferably by direct marketing.
Diversification of milk products like Peda, Mysore Pak, cashew burfi, lassie, milk powders,
masala majjige.
Exploit the Human Face, by positioning in the market as an organization with social
responsibilities of serving the milk produced by paying remunerative price and serving
customer by offering hygienic quality product at a reasonable price throughout the year.
Union is not in the business to maximise the profit as in the case of private dairies and is
acting as price stabilizing force in the market. Projecting these to the customers will reinforce
the positive image of the organization in customers minds as a caring organization which
service to them as its motto.
MYMUL is SELLING its products to different states like Tamilnadu, Kerala and
Andrapradesh
Threats:
Increase of competitor's milk vendors in organized sector.
Flexibility in commission structure by competitors may attract the distributors.
No entry barriers for private players.
Low level of consumer awareness in MYSORE and surrounding areas.
JSSATE-BANGLORE

After liberalization, entry barriers in the dairy industry eased for new entrants.
The competition from Co-operatives like Dodla, Heritage, Kamadenu, they producing
different milk products which are giving a good competition to the MYMUL, etc.
Private dairies procure milk at low cost from producers and sell milk resorting to unethical
trade practices. It is a marketing war in which union has to fight by rules and other private
dairies do not fight by rules. Hence, there is no level playing field for organization with social
responsibilities to compete with organizations with purely profit motive.
Plans of major companies like Reliance, ITC to enter into milk market in future.

PART-B
THEORITICAL BACKGROUND

Customer satisfaction
The current global business environment is extremely competitive. Todays consumers are more
than willing to switch from supplier to supplier in search of better service or courtesy, or better
product availability features or for any other variety of reasons. To attract and retain customers,
effective organization need to focus on determining and then providing what there customer wants
and values. Advertisement market positioning, product/service imaging, discounting, crisis handling,
and others methods of attaching the customer attention are not enough.
Understanding the customers needs and expectation is essential to winning new business and
keeping existing business. An organization must give its customer a quality product or service that
meets their needs at a reasonable price. Which includes on time delivery and outstanding service? To
attain this level, the organization needs to continually examine their quality system to see if it is
responsive to ever changing customer requirements and expectation.
DEFINITIONS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Philip kotler defines customer satisfaction as follows:
Satisfaction is a persons feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a products
perceived performance in relation to his or her expectation
Brown defines customer satisfaction as the state in which customer needs. wants and expectation
throughout the product or service life are met or exceeded resulting in repeat purchase, loyalty and
favorable word of mouth
JSSATE-BANGLORE

Page 47

Customer satisfaction on KMF

Customer satisfaction is a difficult concept to define. However, the following ideas are usually
considered to be fundamental in achieving customer satisfaction.
The product or service must meet customer needs, wants and expectation for quality and
functionality. It doesnt matter how much advertisement is done or after sales support
provided. A shoddy product that doesnt work or falls apart will disappoint. Service
delivered by an unenthusiastic, moody employee will leave the customer feeling let down.
Sales and promotional activities need to create a positive experience for the customer. For
example, the attitudes of employee who make contact with customer should be positive
and professional.
After sales service should also be positive and appropriate (e.g. user training, help lines,
servicing). Customer often needs reassurance after they have bought something that they
have made the right choice, or help in using a product properly.
Customer satisfaction seems simple enough, and yet it is far from simple. Customer satisfaction is
not an objective statistic but more of a feeling or attitude although certain statistical pattern can be
developed to represent customer satisfaction, it is best to remember that peoples opinion and
attitudes are subjective by nature.
Because customer satisfaction is subjective, it is hard to measure. There are so many facts to a
customers experience with a product and service that need to be measured individually to get an
accurate total picture of customer satisfaction. Whether or not a customer is satisfied cannot be
closed as a yes or no answer. Errors can occur when customer satisfaction is simplified too much.
Since customer satisfaction is hard to measure, the measurement often is not precise. As with
most attitudes, there is variability among people, and often within the same person at different times.
Often due to the difficult of measuring feelings, customer satisfaction strategies are developed
around clearly stated, logically customer opinions, and the emotional issues of a purchase are
disregarded, this can be a costly mistake.
Customer satisfaction should not be viewed in a vacuum, for example, a customer may be
satisfied with a product or service and therefore rate the product or service. highly in a survey. And
JSSATE-BANGLORE

Page 48

Customer satisfaction on KMF


yet that same customer may buy another product or service. It is of little benefit to understand a
customer views about a product service. It is of little benefit to understand a customer views about a
product service if the customers views about competitors product or service are not understood. The
value customer place on one product compared to another may be a indicator of customer loyalty.
Customer loyalty can be sustained only by maintaining a favorable comparison when compared with
competitors.
DELIVERING CUSTOMER VALUE AND SATISFACTION
Given the importance of customer value and satisfaction what does it take to produce and
deliver it? To answer this, we need to introduce the concepts of value chain and value delivery
systems.

Customer satisfaction is the level of persons felt state resulting from comparing a products
perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to the persons expectations. Thus the satisfaction
level is a function of the difference between perceived performance and expectations.
If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is delighted. Customers who are just
satisfied will find it easy to switch suppliers when a better comes along. On the other hand,
customers who are delight are much less ready to switch as delight creates an emotional affinity with
the brand and just rational preference, and this creates high customer loyalty.
After purchasing the product, the consumer will experience some level of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction. The marketers job does not end when the product is bought. Marketers must monitor
customer satisfaction
What determines whether the buyer will be highly satisfied, somewhat satisfied, or
dissatisfied with a purchase? The buyers satisfaction is a function of the closeness between the
buyers expectation and the product perceived performance. If performance falls short of
expectations, the customer is disappointed, if it meets the expectation, the customer is satisfied; if it
exceeds expectations, the customer is delighted. These feelings make a difference in whether the
customer buys the product again and talks favorably or unfavorably about the product to others.
Consumers from their expectation on the basis of message received from sellers, friends and
other information sources. The greater the gap between expectation and performance the greater the
JSSATE-BANGLORE

Page 49

Customer satisfaction on KMF


consumers dissatisfaction. Here the consumers coping style comes into play some consumers
magnify the gap
When the product is not perfect and they are highly dissatisfied. Other consumers minimize
the gap and are less dissatisfied.
The importance of post-purchase satisfaction suggests that product claims must truthfully
represent the products likely performance. Some sellers might even understate performance level so
that consumer experience higher than expected satisfaction with the product
The consumers satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the product will influence subsequent
behavior. If the consumer is satisfied, he or she will exhibit a higher probability of purchasing the
product again. The satisfied customers will also tend to say good things about the brand to others.
IMPORTANT OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
The modern business environment is characterized by increasing competition and therefore
increasing customer choice due to the trends such as:
Greater freedom of international trade and globalization makers
Are no longer the preserves of local or national companies who can afford to be complacent
about their customers
E - Commerce and interest marking- business can reach customer around the world every
minute of the day.
Increasingly customer confidence in complaining.
De-regulation of market (i.e, allowing new entrants to markets previously run by
monopolies).

Here are some principles given by Steve smith.


The goal is to exceed customer expectation.
The more the employee satisfaction, the more the customer satisfaction.
Customer satisfaction is necessary, but not sufficient how many times do satisfied customer
switch brands? Answer, a lot.

All initiative must be derived from defined problems. For instance, dissatisfied customers dont
buy. Thats an example of a clear problem.
Initiative must produce either measurable or conceptual benefits. Distinguish between the two
benefits types.
Rather than blanket initiatives for everyone, outline initiatives for each level of management.
Keep expectations in line with the managers span of control.
Distinguish between goals and objectives.
The plan must be resonate with the VP and at least a minority of managers who agree with the
objective and initiative.
The plan must be clear and congruent
The following items amplify customer satisfaction given by Steve smith
Quality of a companys product and services.
Quality of the relationship between the co agent the customer.
Responsiveness
Thoroughness
