ORGANISATIONS STRUCTURE
Organization structure is the pattern of relationship among components or parts of the organizations. This prescribes the relationship among various activities and positions Organization structure can be best explained through an organization chart. An organization chart is the vital tool for providing information about organizational relationship. An organizational structure consists of activities such as task allocation, coordination and supervision, which are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims. It can also be considered as the viewing glass or perspective through which individuals see their organization and its environment. The set organizational structure may not coincide with facts, evolving in operational action. Such divergence decreases performance, when growing. E.g. a wrong organizational structure may hamper cooperation and thus hinder the completion of orders in due time and within limits of resources and budgets. Organizational structures shall be adaptive to process requirements, aiming to optimize the ratio of effort and input to output

Everyday the co-operative union procures raw milk from the member societies. But few of their member societies may not supply milk regularly to the union. This may create fluctuations in procurement amount. However, there are sufficient milk producing member societies that supplies raw milk to the union on a regular basis.

Production process
The raw milk is collected from the societies and brought to the union. Before homogenizing, milk sample from each union is taken by laboratory for testing FAT and SNF content in milk. If the SNF content in milk is less than 8.0%, the skimmed milk powder is added k to increase SNF content and there thereby milk standardization is executed. After adding SMP (skimmed milk powder) the milk undergoes pasteurization process. The pasteurization process involves several stages. In the first stage milk is heated by using steam and hot water up to stage, 73.5C to 80 C & the same temperature would be maintained for few seconds (this stage is called Holding stage) then it will be cooled suddenly by 4 C water circulation and after bringing down to 4 C,. This pasteurized milk would be stored in double jacketed tanks.

Pasteurization
Pasteurization is a process of heating liquids or foods to kill microorganisms (such as Brucella, Campylobacter, E.coli O157:H7, Listeria, Mycobacterium bovis, Salmonella, and Yersinia) that can cause disease. It was developed by Louis Pasteur in 1864, and the practice became commercialized around the late 1800s and early 1900s. In addition to improvement in consumer safety, pasteurization can enhance the quality and shelf life of foods.

7. Ultra-High Temperature Pasteurization Heating milk to 280 to 302 F for 1 or 2 seconds followed by packaging in airtight containers allows storage without refrigeration for up to 90 days.
Effects of Pasteurization:
The ultimate goal in heat treating milk is to desttpy all pathogenic or disease-causing microbes. Usually (but not always), assuming the machinery is functioning properly, the process accomplishes this task effectively. Numerous studies have shown, however, that bad bugs are not the only thing destroyed by the heat: delicate proteins, enzymes, immune factors, hormones, vitamins, mineral availability- all undergo definite changes during the heating process. No one seriously disputes this fact. What is not clear though, due to conflicting science and belief systems, is to what extent the food value of the milk is actually impacted.

After pasteurization, the quality of milk is tested by the laboratory and if SNF is again less, then the SMP is added and the similar process is repeated. Finally, the pasteurization milk is stored in many tanks with the capacity of 5000, 10000, and 15000 liters. If there is no problem in the quality of milk, then from storage tank the milk will be send to Advanced packing machine, which uses poly film to pack the milk in various description.

The milk kova or peda production is being carried out on regular basis but however, the production of kova is low. The boiler cannot be switched on for milk peda production alone .Therefore the production of milk peda is done along with the milk pasteurization process. The average sales of milk peda per month are 10kg. For 10 liter of milk 1 kg of sugar is added as a standard mix to produce milk kova.

The raw milk will be sent to the lab for testing the fat and content and SNF using LACTOMETER. The lactometer reading is considered according to the temperature of milk.

Then it is shaken well and the meter is placed in a CENTRIFUGE MACHINE. The machine will revolve with that butyro meter and by this process the fat is separated.
