 ABSTRACT
Recent marketing trends indicate the rise of influencers as an
extension of word of mouth campaigns. As consumers turn to
social media platforms, organizations are realizing the power of
influencers in affecting a purchase decision. The current study
throws light on various aspects of influencer marketing that
drive consumer behavior by using the theory of planned
behavior) and social learning theory by as part of the
qualitative research to identify key factors of influencer
marketing that impact consumer behavior. The study revealed
that both attitude toward influencers and perceived behavior
control that allows increase in domain knowledge had a
favorable impact on consumer behavior while the influence of
peers had no effect. Further additional constructs namely
personal relevance, inspiration, and trust had a positive impact
on behavior while perceived risk did not have any effect.
Product influencer fitment was an important criterion for
consumers, as they followed the specific type of influencers for
different product categories. Depending on the posts shared by
influencers, consumers are impacted at four levels: increase in
brand awareness, subject matter expertise, brand preference,
and preference. Successful influencer marketing involves
identifying the right type of influencer who will offer curated
advice, stories, and suggestions to create engagement with the
audience.

 CHAPTER 2
INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY

DINSHAW’S ICE CREAM

INCEPTION

Early 1930s:
Two enterprising brothers, DINSHAW and ERUCH RANA, started a small dairy
business in Gittikhadan, on the outskirts of Nagpur. Their obsession with quality and
transparent business practices, brought prosperity and confidence to the young
businessmen. When opportunity knocked in the form of an Englishman who suggested
that they try manufacturing ice cream, the idea was readily translated into reality.
“DINSHAW’S ICE CREAM” was born in 1933 when Nagpurians came to know the
creamy, hand churneddelicacy.

INTIAL GROWTH
An alien concept, ice cream eating was considered a luxury, which could only be
indulged in, on very special days during the sweltering heat of Nagpur’s grueling
summer. The conviction of their ultimate success, and the vision of these young
entrepreneurs, far outweighed the difficulties of running a purely seasonal business with
its vagaries of demand. By mid forties, Nagpur’s gentry had extended ice cream eating
into the winter and the name DINSHAW’S had become synonymous with the ice cream
in Nagpur.

7
THE SECOND GENERATION GROWTH:
SAM DINSHAW RANA and JIMMY ERUCH RANA put on the mantles of their august
fathers. Burning with the same zeal to succeed, the same uncompromising attitude
towards quality and service, the Rana cousins struck out for wider horizons in1981.
With an investment of just Rs.5 Lakhs, a small factory came up to replace the cattle
pounds. The dairy business gracefully gave way to its prospering offspring, the ice-cream
business.

The magic of” “DINSHAW’S goodwill spawned a net work of enthusiastic dealer-
franchises all over central India, where DINSHAW’S enjoy near monopoly eventoday.

Success breeds Success. The sound business principles of the founders, which gave them
their initial success, became the foundation of DINSHAW’S business edifice. Quality
consciousness went beyond the quality of relations with employees, business associates
and its ultimate consumer. By 1987 DINSHAW’S was known in central India as not only
the company, which made the best ice creams, but also the company that built best
relations.

Persistent efforts from prospective distributors and dealers of other areas and greater
demand for varieties from existing areas forced DINSHAW’S to expand its
manufacturing capacities. Imported continuous freezers expand plants and storage
facilities wide with marketdemand.

8
By 1989 cold storage depots had sprung up in Raipur, Jabalpur, Indore, Akola,
Aurangabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Guntur and Vishakhapatnam more by pressures of
demand than by design. Consumer appreciation for its products and for its credo of
“VALUE FOR MONEY” forced continuous expansion and modernization of
manufacturing capacities which today are to the tune of 35000 Liters of ice-cream per
day. By 1990 the business was experiencing difficulty in getting regular supplies of good
quality to need its ever-increasing needs. The obstacles were turned into an opportunity to
diversify into Diarybusiness.
The firm had turned full circle by coming back to its parent business of Diary
which today has a capacity to process and pouch 1lac liters of Milk per day.The
citizens of

9
Nagpur who were dependent only on milk supplied by Government Milk Scheme and
local vendors welcomed the supply of standardized quality milk and DINSHAW’S
became the first branded milk to be sold inNagpur.

Being a responsible corporate citizen and being aware of the needs of protecting its
environment, DINSHAW’S have invested more than Rs.70 Lakhs in an Effluent
Treatment Plant, which is a model for any industry of its size. As in all other areas,
Dinshaw’s foray in Bombay has been on a low key. DINSHAW’S have been able to
grow in the face of competition from national and multinational giants of the industry
because of the inherent strength of its products, policies and people.

 CHAPTER 3
INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC
The topic supply chain management is basically concerned with the following process
of supply chain management and operations, like
1. Procurement andProduction
2. Packaging
3. Distribution
Practices followed by Dinshaw’s Dairy Products ltd. Nagpur.

1. PROCUREMENT AND PRODUCTION PROCESSAT

DINSHAW’S
The very first step of production at the Dinshaw’s dairy foods ltd. is procurement process
Procurement of raw milk plays a crucial and key role in production process and in dairy
industry as whole.
The procurement process involves mainly following things as
• Suppliers
• Quantity
• Quality
• Cost
• Transportation ,handling,storage

Suppliers:
There are two modes of raw milk procurement & supply.
1. Own collection
2. Otherdairies

Own collection:-
Dinshaw’s has established dairies all over the Vidarbha and Maharashtra which
provides a continuous supply of milk.
This own collection also includes two modes as

11
(a) Chillingcenters
(b) Bulkcoolers

Chilling centers:-
There are twelve chilling centers across vidarbha region. These plants are having
capacity of 25000 liters. Milk is stored at low temperature & as per the capacity of
plant supply is provided. There are some locations where chilling centers are located
Ravanwadi, Dahegao, Neharwani,Selu, Tiroda, Mandhal,Kodamendhi.

Bulk coolers:-
These are milk storage plants having low storage capacity around 5000ltrs farmers
provide the milk in loose i.e. 5 to 10 ltr each.
Dinshaw’s provide support to the dairy farmers to run their farms

MILK PRODUCTION
The buffalo and the cow and to a very limited extent the goat are the main milch
animals in the India. The buffalo contributes some 64 per cent, the cow 33 per cent
and the goat 3 per cent of the total milk produced in India. There are several well
recognized breeds of cows and buffaloes in the region such as Red Sindhi, Gir,
Tharparkar, and Sahiwal among the cows, and Murrah and Neeli Ravi among the
buffaloes, are outstanding breeds. The milk of the buffalo is comparatively richer in
fatcontentthanthatofthecow.Inordertoincreasemilkproductionwemusthaveto
:
• Upgrade ouranimals
• Better feeding practicesand
• Well organized veterinary services, including artificialinsemination.
The population of the cross-bred cows and the upgraded buffaloes is expected to
increase the milk production significantly.

12
MILKING CONDITIONS AND HYGIENE
Most of the milk in India is produced in the villages by farmers with small land
holdings and also by landless agricultural laborers. Although an increasing portion of
the milk produced is collected by the Supplier and other organized dairies, a
significant portion of the milk is still being converted into traditional dairy products
due to lack of refrigeration and transportation facilities. Conditions under which milk
is produced in the villages are far from satisfactory, mainly because of the economic
backwardness of the producers. The milk animals are housed in a part of the living
space of the family or in small closed or open yards adjacent to the family house.
Flooring is usually a plaster of mud. The cows are rarely washed before milking.
Buffaloes generally wallow in ponds, especially in the hot summermonths.
Milking is done by hand, usually after suckling by the calf. Except in a few modern
large farms, milking machines are not used. Because of the distances between the
producing and consuming points, milk is unavoidably held at ambient temperatures
for a significantly long time leading to high microbial growth. The high ambient
temperatures in the region for the major part of the year support rapid microbial
growth.
The predominant types of micro flora in milk received in dairies are coliforms,
micrococci, lactic streptococci, spore-forming aerobes and corynebacteria, the
majority of these being contaminants from milk utensils. There is also a high
incidence of thermo uricbacteria.

MILK PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT (MPD)

Milk is procured form area to fulfill the industry needs by procurement departments
of the companies. This is the most important department in every dairy industry,
provided with highly paid Procurement managers supported with a team of qualified
and experienced staff of zonal managers, area executives or milk collection
controller, milk collection supervisors, mobile testers, drivers, peons and etc. in order
to support the procurement staff a separate wing of accounts is also established.

13
This is the department with highest number of employees. Procurement of milk is not
an easy job.

It stands on the following five pillars:

1. Quantity
2. Quality
3. Cost
4. Competition
5. Man Power

Quantity:
Every dairy industry operates at its capacity to be a profitable. So in this competitive
environment to have some specific volume of raw milk some time is the biggest
challenge then quality. If a procurement department is failing to achieve the target
quantity, it means it is not functioning properly. This definitely affects dairy business.
Following factors affect the quantity:
Season (availability of milk)
Market competition
Rate of milk
Payment system (direct/banks)
Payment duration (at Spot, after week, after fortnight)
Milk procurement size (larger the size of the procurement greater the quantity of
milk)
Company strategy.
Raw milk receiving parameters

Quality:
Good quality milk is essential for production of good quality dairy products, taste and
flavor, free from pathogens and long keeping quality. Good quality raw milk must be:
a. Free from debris andsediment
b. Free from off-flavors.

14
c. Low in bacterialnumbers.
d. Normal composition and acidity.
e. Free of antibiotics and chemicalresidues.

Ultimate objective of any industry is to provide their customers with best quality
product. Hence quality play important role in the procurement of milk .It is the
biggest challenge for a company, as it affects cost, quantity, & competition. Increase
quality, decrease quantity, increase cost & competition. At procurement stage in order
to have good quality raw milk, company takes followingsteps:

1. Develop infrastructure
• Develop Centers
• Install Chillingunits
• DevelopLab
• Development ofVMC

2. StaffRecruitment
• Recruit
• Provision of Competitivesalary
• Train
• Provision of necessaryfacility

3. Transportation system
• Tankerpurchase
• Vehicles purchase/rent

Cost:
I. Before Setup
• Projection Cost
• Set up / Capitalcostt.

15
II. After collectionstarts

Landed Cost: Landed cost is the sum of following three costs :

• Variable
• Fix
• Losses

Variable :
1. Raw milkPrice
2. Ice /Chilling
3. Transportation cost; it includes Haulagecost

Fixed cost :
1. Procurement cost; includes salaries wagesbenefits
2. Utilities
3. Rents
4. Maintenance andrepair
5. Weighing / measuringcost
6. Storage cost; it includes ice and chillingcost
7. Other miscellaneous cost; including quality cost andetc.

Fixed Cost on milk procurement can be reduced by increasing volume of milk. It can
also be reduced by controlling losses and over heads.

Competition:
Following types of competition exists in area for procurement of milk these
competitions some time are beneficial for company and sometimes may be harmful
forcompany.
1. Industry toindustry
2. Producer toproducer

16
Industry to industry competition: This kind of competition occurs between the
industries through producers. Procurement staff of company plays an important role
in this type of competition due to their relations & behavior towards the producers.
More such kind of competition is beneficial for the producers. This kind of
competition results intofollowing:
• Increasecost
• Decreasequality
• Increase quantity with eachindustry

Producers to producer’s competition: This kind of competition occurs between the

producers through companies. More such kind of competition is beneficial for the
industries & may results into following:
• Increasequantity
• Increasequality
• Decreaseprice

MILK PROCUREMENT TYPES:

Milk Procurement is the starting point of dairy industry supply chain. The
procurement process starts on the farm, where producers are advised, quality is
monitored and raw milk is collected daily from various Farmers/progressive farmers
by mini-suppliers and village milk collection centers countrywide and transported to
factories in the most cost-effective manner. Raw milk quality is the cornerstone of
excellent dairy products. Milk Procurement guards this quality with an eagle eye and
ensures that company’s production needs are met. Through teamwork within the
supply chain, procurement teams of companies ensure that raw milk losses are kept to
the absoluteminimum.
Milk procurement is basically of two types :
1. Supplier’scollection
2. Selfcollection
1. Supplier Milk collection system: In this case supplier brings milk with their own
sourcesatfactory.Themilkisscrutinizedbyqualityassurancedepartmentofdairyas

17
per their standards. If milk pass all the quality test then this milk is received otherwise
the milk is rejected.

Mini/Hilux contractor: In this type of milk collection local supplier of area, collects
milk with their own resources and bring this milk to companies sub center. If milk is
according to company’s standard that milk is received otherwise rejected. All types of
collected milk are brought to sub centers, where it is chilled (by chiller or by ice) and
transported to Main center either through 1.7, 5 or 9 tons of tankers depending upon
the quantity of milk, here milk is chilled through chillers and transported toplant.
2. Self Milk collectionsystem:
image

A. Village Milk Collection (VMC): In this case a local community nominated person
(VMC agent) collect milk from local farmers on behalf of company by using
company facilities. The VMC agent gets commission from company on per litter
collected milk. After collection VMC agent either himself approach the nearby center
of company for handing over of collected milk or company vehicle collect milk from
that VMC agent as per written agreement. Very good quality milk is collected
through the VMCs. No doodhi is involved in this type ofcollection.
B. Progressive formers: Having 10 adult buffalo or minimum 25 liters milk.
C. Direct Farmer: Having one or more milch animal and bring milk directly to sub
center or MCC
(Milk chilling center)

Bulk milk transport: A Milk procurement team of companies ensures that milk is
collected and transported to factories daily. Milk cooled on the farm or cooling centre
may be transported in bulk tankers. Bulk tankers are insulated, so the milk will
remain cold until it reaches the plant (provided the transport is fast, i.e. short distance
or good roads enabling milk to be delivered before the temperature of milk rises
above10*C

18
Reception of milk at plant: At reaching plant quality assurance staff of reception lab
takes the representative sample of whole milk tanker and analyses it for various
parameters as per standards of company. If milk found as per quality norms of
company the tanker is weighed and production department staff receive the milk for
further processing otherwise the sub standards raw milk tanker isrejected.

MILK PROCUREMENT SYSTEM (MPS):

The primary function of any Milk Procurement System (MPS) is to expedite dairy
milk producer’s payroll process. This is accomplished using a complex system that
documents the pickup, testing, delivery of milk, and issues payment to producers of
milk and those responsible for its transport. In addition to tracing the movement of
milk as it is picked up, tested, and transported to the plant, the Milk Procurement
System issues checks and records financial information for producers, haulers, and
vendors. MPS facilitates the dairy’s milk producer payroll process from beginning to
end.
ROLE OF MPD OF ANY COMPANY IN MILK PROCUREMENT:
Milk procurement department of any company provides a value-added service to all
their milk producers, ensuring that milk of the correct quality is produced and that
sufficient raw milk is always available to satisfy company’s needs, through the use of
strategies, processes, projects, systems and policy. Procurement teams of companies
manage a number of Milk Procurement responsibilities including:
1. Ensuring that the producers are paid promptly and accurately.
2. Purchasing raw milk from producers and transporting it to factories effectively
and efficiently.
3. Successful clean milk route development in various new identifiedareas.
4. Installation of bulk coolers in thearea.
5. Milk yieldimproved.
6. Hygiene practices improvement at all levels of milk production andprocurement
7. Reduction of Bacterial Count ofmilk.
8. Advanced training to drivers in the handling of mass milk in case ofemergencies..

19
 2. PACKAGING OF DAIRYPRODUCTS
Dairy packaging requires special care and attention. Different dairy products have
different packaging options. But one important factor to consider is to maintain the
freshness of the product. Dairy packaging manufacturers and suppliers have come up
with wide range of films, bags, laminates and equipment for packaging bulk dairy
products, as well as, consumer portioned items, by considering factors like protecting
the flavors and textures throughout display and distribution.

Most of the dairy product packaging is done in the paper based packing material. The
paper can be wax coated paper, plastic coated paper, grease proof paper, box boards
and other kind of dairy product packing paper. Then glass bottles are used as dairy
product packaging as these are easy to clean and almost inert tochemicals.

Apart from these there are aluminum foils, tin plates, timber, plastics, low and high
polymers that are used as dairy packaging material.
Types of Dairy Products
• Milk: Powdered andLiquid
• FermentedMilk
• Whey BasedDrinks
• Curds
• Cheese
• CottageCheese
• Cream
• Butteretc.

Branding in Dairy Packaging

Packaging is an integral part of the brand identity. The packaging of any dairy
product should deliver consumer expectations of natural dairy taste.

20
• To contain theproduct
• To protect theproduct
• To sell theproduct

Types of Dairy Packaging

• Pouch/Sachet: The pouch or sachets are formed from either a reeled or flat film.
UV light may be used to sterilize the film. This type of dairy packaging is used to
package butter, cheese, milk powderetc.
• Carton: It plays a very important role in the bulk packaging of milk. It is used for
liquid, frozen and coagulated milk products. It is mainly available as preformed
containers or as precut blanks or sheets ready to be formed intocontainers.
• Packet: Usually made of plastic, it is used to keep pasteurized liquidmilk.
• Barrel: Barrels are usually made of wood and are coated with wax on the inside.
They are used for bulk packaging of semi-solid buttermilk, sweetened condensed
milk,etc.
• Cup: Cups are made up of paper with plastic or wax coating on inner surface. This
type of dairy packaging is usually covered with a lid and used for frozen and
coagulated products.
• Cans: This is popularly used for various types of solid, semi-solid and powdered
products. Aluminum cans widely used. They are the most convenient for gas packing
and suitable for dairy packaging.
• Bottles: Made of glass with aluminum closures, the bottles are suitable for storing
milk shakes and liquidstuffs.
• Collapsible Tube: It is used for packaging semi-fluid products like sweetened
condensed milk, processed cheese spread etc. It is usually made up of aluminum and
lacquered on the inner side.

Types of Materials Used in Making Dairy Packaging

• Metalized plasticfilms
• PVDC coated films
• Plastic

21
 • Paper
• Nylon
• LDPE
• Laminates
• Polyolefin
• Polypropylene
• LDPEpolyethylene
• LLDPE polyethyleneetc.

The milk chilling/dairy industry is one of the more intricate and diverse, and it
requires refrigeration and temperature controls that are reliable throughout all its
aspects. Refrigeration is needed in the production and storage of a wide range of
products from milk, cheese andbutter.

And, refrigeration is a vital aspect in new product development. In addition, proper

refrigeration is needed to meet hygienic and government standards, the delivery of an
attractive dairy product to consumers, and energy consumption demands of the
refrigeration plant.

3. DISTRIBUTION
TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A Transportation Management System (TMS) is a software system designed to
manage transportationoperations.
TMS are one of the systems managing the supply chain. They belong to a sub-group
called Supply chain execution (SCE). TMS, whether it is part of an Enterprise Level
ERP System or from an integrated "Best of Breed" Independent Software
Vendor(ISV) has become a critical part of any (SCE) Supply Chain Execution and
Collaboration System in which real time exchange of information with other SCE
modules has become missioncritical.
In more recent times, we have seen that these systems are being offered in many
different types of licensing arrangements. These different arrangements have given
shippers who otherwise would not be able to afford sophisticated software the
opportunity to utilize TMS to better manage this vital function. The 3 primary
offeringsare:

23
• 1. On-Premise Licensing (traditional purchasedlicense)
• 2. Hosted(remote)
• 3. On-Premise Hosted Licensing (a blend of 1 &2)
Additionally, we are seeing that some software providers have either been acquired or
merged with traditional supply chain management consultancies and are now offering
shippers "blended" managed and software services as an outsourced process. Primary
Tier 1 TMS providers are still independent, carrier and 3PL neutral, and ERP neutral.
TMS usually "sits" between an ERP or legacy order processing and
warehouse/distribution module. A typical scenario would include both inbound
(procurement) and outbound (shipping) orders to be evaluated by the TMS Planning
Module offering the user various suggested routing solutions. These solutions are
evaluated by the user for reasonableness and are passed along to the transportation
provider analysis module to select the best mode and least cost provider. Once the
best provider is selected, the solution typically generates electronic load tendering and
track/trace to execute the optimized shipment with the selected carrier, and later to
support freight audit and payment (settlement process). Links back to ERP systems
(after orders turned into optimal shipments), and sometimes secondarily to WMS
programs also linked to ERP are also common. Most TMS systems help shipper
directly work with asset-based carriers and support dis-intermediation (including
avoiding use of non-asset based brokers and otherintermediaries).
Transportation Management Systems manage three key processes of transportation
management:
• 1. Planning and Decision Making: TMS will define the most efficient transport
schemes according to given parameters, which have a lower or higher importance
according to the user policy: transport cost, shorter lead-time, fewer stops possible to
insure quality, flows regroupingcoefficient…
• 2. Transportfollow-up
TMS will allow following any physical or administrative operation regarding
transportation: traceability of transport event by event (shipping from A, arrival at B,
customs clearance…), editing of reception, custom clearance, invoicing.

24
• 3.Measurement
TMS have or need to have a Logistics KPI reporting function for transport.
Various functions of a TMS:
• Planning and optimizing of terrestrial transportrounds
• Transportation mode and carrierselection
• Management of air and maritimetransport
• Real time vehiclestracking
• Service qualitycontrol
• Vehicle Load and Routeoptimization
• Transport costs and schemesimulation
• Shipment batching oforders
• Cost control, KPI (Key performance indicators) reporting and statistics
o Typical KPIs include but not limitedto:
1. % of On Time Pick Up or Delivery Performance relative torequested
2. Cost Per Metric - mile; km; Weight; Cube;Pallet

Key Benefits
Route Planning and Optimization
• Reduce Distribution Costs & Fleet Miles - Daily routes are created using powerful
algorithms and street-level routing, in conjunction with your businessconstraints
• Increase Resource Utilization-Make better use of existing resources by delivering
more and driving less. The answer to increasing volume is not always to put more
vehicles on the road, but to make smart,efficient
• Make Sound Business Decisions -Understand how delivery costs affect the
profitability of each customer by knowing the actual cost perstop
• Set Driver Standards - Creating route plans and gathering actual information
allows you to set performance standards and expectations-which can result in less
overtime and better driverperformance
• Decrease Routing Time - Let your routers spend less time configuring routes and
more time assessing what-if scenarios to produce better, more efficientroutes.

25
• Contingency Planning - Prepare for holiday or seasonal spikes and other "what if"
scenarios
• Reports - Driver manifests, maps, directions, resource utilization, customer
delivery cost, actual versus projected by route and by stop, planned route summaries
and many more reports to help you consistently evaluate yoursuccess
Load Optimization
• Accurate and Quick Load Design for Multiple Route Types - Each type of route
requires different loading patterns. Determine (or assign) equipment to warehouse
bays with capacities, preferences or even empty bays for returnedgoods
• Multiple Loading Strategies - Different delivery operations require different
loading strategies. Our warehouse-friendly software allows for greater picking
efficiencies by grouping SKUs. Driver-friendly groups product by stop, minimizing
the number of bays a driver must visit at eachstop
• Pre-Build Orders - Load orders to be picked, built and pre-staged throughout the
day, all while continuing to have them allocated to the correct route and truck during
the final loadingpass
• Load Design to Reduce Product Breakage - Most breakage occurs within the first
10 minutes of a route due to poor packing. Fleet Loader's leading loading algorithms
allow for proper mixing and stacking to reducebreakage
• Reports - Final load sheet, driver check-out, load validation and pick sheets
provide you with all of the detailed information youneed

 CHAPTER 4 LITERATURE REVIEW

Today Consumers have higher expectations than ever before. They want products
to match these expectations. They also want accurate, up-to-date and useful information
about what they buy and above all they needQuality

According to the report of Sumit Kukreja, a management trainee from Amity

University, food and beverages are the one of the largest growing trade in FMCG sector
and ice-cream is the pathfinder of this trade. The continues grow in the demand of ice-
cream in India is showing the great opportunity in future.

According to the project work done by the management students Swati Kiran &
Kriti Tiwari of IMT Ghaziabaad on AMUL, the growth rate of dairy foods due to better
supply chain management practices and strong distribution network in India is steady but
is increasing in thefuture.

India is the largest milk producer in the world, yet only around 15 per cent of the
milk is processed. The organized liquid milk business is in its infancy and also has large
long-term growth potential.

3. DISTRIBUTION
TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A Transportation Management System (TMS) is a software system designed to
manage transportationoperations.
TMS are one of the systems managing the supply chain. They belong to a sub-group
called Supply chain execution (SCE). TMS, whether it is part of an Enterprise Level
ERP System or from an integrated "Best of Breed" Independent Software
Vendor(ISV) has become a critical part of any (SCE) Supply Chain Execution and
Collaboration System in which real time exchange of information with other SCE
modules has become missioncritical.
In more recent times, we have seen that these systems are being offered in many
different types of licensing arrangements. These different arrangements have given
shippers who otherwise would not be able to afford sophisticated software the
opportunity to utilize TMS to better manage this vital function. The 3 primary
offeringsare:

23
• 1. On-Premise Licensing (traditional purchasedlicense)
• 2. Hosted(remote)
• 3. On-Premise Hosted Licensing (a blend of 1 &2)
Additionally, we are seeing that some software providers have either been acquired or
merged with traditional supply chain management consultancies and are now offering
shippers "blended" managed and software services as an outsourced process. Primary
Tier 1 TMS providers are still independent, carrier and 3PL neutral, and ERP neutral.
TMS usually "sits" between an ERP or legacy order processing and
warehouse/distribution module. A typical scenario would include both inbound
(procurement) and outbound (shipping) orders to be evaluated by the TMS Planning
Module offering the user various suggested routing solutions. These solutions are
evaluated by the user for reasonableness and are passed along to the transportation
provider analysis module to select the best mode and least cost provider. Once the
best provider is selected, the solution typically generates electronic load tendering and
track/trace to execute the optimized shipment with the selected carrier, and later to
support freight audit and payment (settlement process). Links back to ERP systems
(after orders turned into optimal shipments), and sometimes secondarily to WMS
programs also linked to ERP are also common. Most TMS systems help shipper
directly work with asset-based carriers and support dis-intermediation (including
avoiding use of non-asset based brokers and otherintermediaries).
Transportation Management Systems manage three key processes of transportation
management:
• 1. Planning and Decision Making: TMS will define the most efficient transport
schemes according to given parameters, which have a lower or higher importance
according to the user policy: transport cost, shorter lead-time, fewer stops possible to
insure quality, flows regroupingcoefficient…
• 2. Transportfollow-up
TMS will allow following any physical or administrative operation regarding
transportation: traceability of transport event by event (shipping from A, arrival at B,
customs clearance…), editing of reception, custom clearance, invoicing.

24
• 3.Measurement
TMS have or need to have a Logistics KPI reporting function for transport.
Various functions of a TMS:
• Planning and optimizing of terrestrial transportrounds
• Transportation mode and carrierselection
• Management of air and maritimetransport
• Real time vehiclestracking
• Service qualitycontrol
• Vehicle Load and Routeoptimization
• Transport costs and schemesimulation
• Shipment batching oforders
• Cost control, KPI (Key performance indicators) reporting and statistics
o Typical KPIs include but not limitedto:
1. % of On Time Pick Up or Delivery Performance relative torequested
2. Cost Per Metric - mile; km; Weight; Cube;Pallet

Key Benefits
Route Planning and Optimization
• Reduce Distribution Costs & Fleet Miles - Daily routes are created using powerful
algorithms and street-level routing, in conjunction with your businessconstraints
• Increase Resource Utilization-Make better use of existing resources by delivering
more and driving less. The answer to increasing volume is not always to put more
vehicles on the road, but to make smart,efficient
• Make Sound Business Decisions -Understand how delivery costs affect the
profitability of each customer by knowing the actual cost perstop
• Set Driver Standards - Creating route plans and gathering actual information
allows you to set performance standards and expectations-which can result in less
overtime and better driverperformance
• Decrease Routing Time - Let your routers spend less time configuring routes and
more time assessing what-if scenarios to produce better, more efficientroutes.

25
• Contingency Planning - Prepare for holiday or seasonal spikes and other "what if"
scenarios
• Reports - Driver manifests, maps, directions, resource utilization, customer
delivery cost, actual versus projected by route and by stop, planned route summaries
and many more reports to help you consistently evaluate yoursuccess
Load Optimization
• Accurate and Quick Load Design for Multiple Route Types - Each type of route
requires different loading patterns. Determine (or assign) equipment to warehouse
bays with capacities, preferences or even empty bays for returnedgoods
• Multiple Loading Strategies - Different delivery operations require different
loading strategies. Our warehouse-friendly software allows for greater picking
efficiencies by grouping SKUs. Driver-friendly groups product by stop, minimizing
the number of bays a driver must visit at eachstop
• Pre-Build Orders - Load orders to be picked, built and pre-staged throughout the
day, all while continuing to have them allocated to the correct route and truck during
the final loadingpass
• Load Design to Reduce Product Breakage - Most breakage occurs within the first
10 minutes of a route due to poor packing. Fleet Loader's leading loading algorithms
allow for proper mixing and stacking to reducebreakage
• Reports - Final load sheet, driver check-out, load validation and pick sheets
provide you with all of the detailed information youneed

 CHAPTER 4 LITERATURE REVIEW

Today Consumers have higher expectations than ever before. They want products
to match these expectations. They also want accurate, up-to-date and useful information
about what they buy and above all they needQuality

According to the report of Sumit Kukreja, a management trainee from Amity

University, food and beverages are the one of the largest growing trade in FMCG sector
and ice-cream is the pathfinder of this trade. The continues grow in the demand of ice-
cream in India is showing the great opportunity in future.

According to the project work done by the management students Swati Kiran &
Kriti Tiwari of IMT Ghaziabaad on AMUL, the growth rate of dairy foods due to better
supply chain management practices and strong distribution network in India is steady but
is increasing in thefuture.

India is the largest milk producer in the world, yet only around 15 per cent of the
milk is processed. The organized liquid milk business is in its infancy and also has large
long-term growth potential.

 CONCLUSION

According to the study done on the feedback of questionnaire, data interpretation and
analysis the results are as follows-
The result shows that the Dinshaw’s dairy foods ltd. practices supply chain with
the help of many suppliers. Meanwhile the company is managing its supply chain
successfully. The company has a separate logistics and dispatchdepartment.
Dinshaw’s dairy foods ltd has a clear and sophisticated logistic plan.
Operational activities and supply chain management activities of the Dinshaw’s
dairy foods ltd are by the support of supply chain benchmarking. The company is
planning to implement and practice the e-procurement, EDI plan strategically infuture.
Current supply chain management and IT activities of the company are going
flawless and in future there is scope for better supply chain and distribution network.
The current transportation and logistics management of the company is sufficient and is
flexible enough so as to change the current policies if any.
The study has shown us that there is some obstacles during handling and storage
of dairy products which creates hurdle in SCM therefore should beeradicated.
