PRODUCTION:

Production is the process of making products. In this process, different inputs like

material, human, capital and other resources are transformed into higher valued goods

and services. If the value of the product acquired, after transformation, is less than the

aggregate value of inputs used, it suggests that no production took place.The transformation of inputs and value addition are two basic tests of production .

E.S.BUFFA defined the production as, production is the process by which goods and

services are created.

Production may be of goods and services. The different is that the mention earlier,

services will be produced and consumed at the same time. Take the case of a doctor. He

produces the services just at the same time when he delivers them. In case of a product,

car manufacturer manufactures the cars and provide them to the consumers as a product.

In production, different inputs like materials, human, capital and other resources are

transformed into higher valued goods and services.

Process layout is that layout, which arranges different layouts in such a way that their

relative placement is optimized.

Milk and milk products are the necessary part of meal for human beings. We can say that

human body is like a machine and a machine needs fuels like oil, lubricant, etc. and

human body also requires energy to survive. Milk products provides lot of energy to the

human.

India has one of the largest livestock population in the world. Fifty percent of the

buffaloes and 20% of the cattle of the world are found in India. The most important

constituent of livestock in our country is milk animal both cows and buffaloes. Dairydevelopment in our country has been acknowledged the world over as one of the modern

India's most successful developmental programme.

India is today the third largest milk producing country in the world after Soviet Union

and United States. The milk surplus States in India are Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana,

Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The manufacturing of

milk products is concentrated in these milk surplus States. Annual milk production is

estimated to be 56 Million tonns.

About 30% of the total milk production in the country is converted into milk products of

which Ghee alone accounts for 85%. The production of milk powder and Infant milkfood is estimated to have increased from 1,50,00 tonnes in 1991 to 1,65000 tonnes in the

year 1992. Similarly, the production of malted milk food including malted food, cheese,

condensed milk is estimated to have increased from 41,000 tonnes, 2500 tonnes and 8100

tonnes during the year 1991 to 41,300 tonnes, 2900 tonnes and 8400 tonnes respectively

during the year 1992.

Milk can be used for manufacturing a number of milk products, The National Dairy

Development Board, CFIRI and NDRI karnal are responsible and engaged in the

development of milk products technology in the country, Besides product formulation,

development of technology and equipments a number of units have started using energy

saving devices;

The manufacturing of milk products under the Industries Development & Regulations

Act has been delicensed. Above 700 memoranda have been received from the

entrepreneurs to set up milk products manufacturing units in different parts of the country

besides expansion programmes by the existing units. These proposals include

manufacturing of a number of milk products including import substitutes like lactose and

Casein. A proposal with foreign collabration to manufacture these items has also been

cleared. The Ministry of Agriculture in June, 1992 has issued milk and Milk Products

Order under the Essential Commodities Act to regulate the production, supply and

distribution of milk and milk products in the country.

India continues to be the largest milk producer of the world , with competitive advantage

of low cost milk production. With the reduction of Farm subsidies worldwide and advent

of world class technologies in India the country is poised to become the largest exporter

of Milk products in the years to come.

1.2 HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION:

Milkfood Limited was set up in the year 1973 with the first Plant at Bahadurgarh ,on the Rajpura Patiala Road in the State of Punjab . The company manufactures Pure

Ghee, Skimmed Milk Powder , Whole Milk Powder, and Dairy Whitener . From theintial installed capacity of 80 MT of milk processing per day at Patiala during 1974the Company at has enhanced the processing capacity from time to time and thepresent milk processing capacity of all Plants is 1500 MT per day.In the year 1987 the Company commissioned its Second Plant at Gurgoan in theState of Haryana for the manufacture of Cultured Desserts like Long Life Yoghurts,UHT Milk , Juices etc. and Frozen Desserts Yoghurts like Ice Creams. The Ice

Cream brand "Milkfood 100% Ice cream" still conjurs up memories even years afterit's sale to Hindustan Lever.The company has taken on lease a Dairy Plant in 2003 at Hamira, Distt. Kapurthala,in the State of Punjab to supplement the production capacities by 200 MT of milkprocessing per day. The capacity has since been enhanced to 500 MT of MilkProcessing per day.In 2005, the company has taken expansion plans further to the State of Uttar Pradeshwhere a fully modernised facility has been set up at Village Agwanpur, TehsilMoradabad to add capacity of 500 MT of milk processing per day. The plant hascommenced production in November 2005.Further Expansion plans for manufacture of Export Oriented and Value addedproducts like Casein , Demineralised Whey Powder , Whey Protien Concentrates hasbeen initiated at the Bahadurgarh facility , which is likely to be commissioned byend of 2006. Capacity expansion will enable the Bahadurgarh plant to process 700MT of milk per day.

At the International Dairy Federation (IDF) seminar on "Utilization of DairyIngredients in Foods" held at Luxemburg in 1981, Dr. Ernest Mann, Consultant,IDF, stated that milk has four faces. First two faces are represented by liquid milk onone hand and traditional dairy products viz. Milk Powder, Cheese and othertraditional cottage dairy products on the other hand. The third phase of milk isrepresented by new dairy products tailored to suit the changing social and dietaryhabits of the people who have encouraged the dairy industries of many countries totake a re-look at the new range of products manufactured and aided by the newtechnological processes such as fat fractionate, protein fractionation, electrodialysis,membrane separation etc. This has helped to further the concept of milk as anindustrial liquid whose ingredients could be extracted and recombined in differentways to form new processed food products.

The present expansion by Dairies shall cover the third face of milk viz. fractionation

and extraction of milk ingredient leading to manufacture of various value addedproducts which is a new and just introduced milk phase in India and has a long wayto go in the time to came i.e. extraction of its ingredients viz. Casein, Whey proteins,Lactose, Minerals and Dimineralised Whey powder.

The fourth face of milk is a generator of thousands of ingredients with specifiednutritional and functional property for different branches of food industry which isrevealing milk to be a treasure chest of more than 2000 ingredients. This phase ofmilk is yet to be come up.

India continues to be the largest milk producer of the world , with competitiveadvantage of low cost milk production. With the reduction of Farm subsidiesworldwide and advent of world class technologies in India the country is poised tobecome the largest exporter of Milk products in the years to come.

2.3 RESEARCH DESIGN

I have conducted my research for the purpose of my project report. The design of my

research was exploratory research design. In exploratory research design, we explore new

ideas, facts and methods etc.

Exploratory research is focus on the discovery of ideas. Exploratory research is carriedout to define problems and developed hypothesis to test later. An exploratory study isgenerally based on the secondary data that are reading available. It does not have tochange his focus of direction, depending on the availability of new ideas and relationshipamong variables.

Sources of Data

The sources of data collection methods are as follows.:

a) Primary data :-

The primary data is that which details i collect first time from the Milkfood plant and alsoused first time in the research. We also say that the information is first time in theresearch decision. For this purpose I have made discussions with the employees andworkers of the plant

b) Secondary data:-

Secondary data are those data which are already collected by someone for some purpose

and are available for the present study; secondary data are already collected by the

companys records, companys websites and other librarys books. When the secondary

data are sufficient, the researcher has to be satisfied with the primary sources of data.

Secondary data can be used as bases for comparison with primary data have been

3.1 PROCESS ANALYSIS

I have done my training in the production department, so I analyzed various

production steps. Now I am going to describe the production process.

1. COLLECTION OF MILK

First of all the Milkmen collects the milk from the various villages. The vans of

the plant collects milk from the milkmen. They bring the milk to the plant.

2. ENTRY OF MILKVANS IN PLANT

After the collection of milk the milkvans reaches at the reception of the plant.

Here receptionist checks the no. of the van and allow to enter in the plant.Capacity expansion will enable the Bahadurgarh plant to process 700 MT of milk

per day.

2. TESTING OF MILK

For quality assurance, the company has well established laboratories with

qualified staff who monitor Raw milk quality,Packaging material and online

processing to testing of finished products. At this stage the truck reaches at the

weigh for weight checking. After measuring the quantity of milk the checker

gives receipt. Then they takes 4 samples from the selected milk for the purpose of

laboratory test. In the laboratory the grades are assign to the milk. They assign

three types of grades to the milk namely N, O and C. N grade is the mark of best

quality and high gravity milk. O is assigned to the medium quality milk. C is the

lower quality grade milk.

3. VACATE THE MILKVAN

After the testing they gives the permission to vacate the milkvan at dock. Then the

empty van goes for weight checking.

4. PRODUCTION OF MILK PRODUCTSHere the high quality milk uses in the production. They put the milk in the

separators and the separators converts the milk into cream. The main process

equipment comprises of Auto Desludge Cream separators from Westfalia,

Germany with capacity of 20 K L per hour with matching Heat Exchangers for

Pasteurization. The storage capacity of Raw Milk and Pasteurized Milk are 130

MT and 210 MT respectively. Four Effect Evaporators of Weigand Design with

capacity of 325 MT of Milk and Sapporally with capacity of 344 MT. Two stage

Spray Dryers with Vibro Fluidization of Niro design from Larsen & Toubro and

Single stage Dryer of Anhydro Design from Alfa Laval / Tetra Pack with capacity

of 53 MT per day. Various products are made from the cream. They use theremaining milk for milk powder.

The service equipments comprise of Boilers with capacity of 18 MT of Steam per

hour at a pressure of 24 Kgcm2 using alternate source of energy as fuel like rice

husk with fluidized bed for maximum combustion. 0.20 MW/Hour is produced

using a Back Pressure Turbine.Exhaust steam is used in Milk Processing. The

Refrigeration system is an Ammonia and Lithium Bromide Absorption System

from Thermax with capacity of 300 TR using water as refrigerant and exhaust

steam from power producing turbine as a heating medium. A 100 % Export

Oriented Unit to manufacture Casein and Demineralised Whey Powder is beingset up at Patiala with Capacity to manufacture 6000 MT of Casein per Annum.

The machinery is largely to be from Alfa Laval. A High capacity Boiler and 1

MW Turbine is being installed to meet the Power requirements The plant at

Patiala after upgradation (October 2006) would have processing capacity of 7

million litres of milk per day.

5. PACKAGING

The facility has a Mather and Platt tin can packaging line with an Auto filling

system ranging from Ltr to 5 Ltrs. The facility also has 2 Lined Carton Autofilling and sealing machine from Rollatainers for packing of Ltr and 1 Ltr with

capacity of 360 packs per hour. The bulk pack-filling machine for 15 Kgs Tin

with capacity of 200 Tins per hour is from Philips. Skimmed milk powder is

packaged in 25 kg food grade craft paper bag.This bag contains1 kg* 25 poly

code of pure ghee is PG 02.

6. SUPPLY

For distribution of Products Redistribution depots at Gurgoan , Delhi , Kolkatta ,

Chandigarh and Mumbai apart from Agents spread over almost all states. . The

product is ISI Graded for Export. Among the private sector corporations in India

the company is one of the largest supplier for Milk Powders to the institutions i.e

Glaxo Smithkline , Cadburys, Nestle , Mother Dairy , Metro Dairy , Lotus

Chocolate.

The company also exports Skimmed Milk Powder and Whole Milk Powder to the

South Asian countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh , Nepal, Sri Lanka , Afghanistan

and Myanamar. A 100% Export Oriented Unit is being set up at the existing

facilities at Bahadurgarh, Patiala to manufacture Casein which commands a

premium price in Export markets of USA, Europe and Japan.

WASTAGE:

Wastage may be defined as the loss by deterioration, wear or destruction:

Disease and desertion still caused much greater wastage than battle.

We can also define the wastage as the unusable material, non delivered products,

extra material etc. Wastage can effect the profits of the company. Wastage also

took place in milkfood plant in production department. So there should be best

techniques in every organization to eliminate the wastage easily.

REASONS :

I have analyzed the various stages of production process. Where wastage hampers

the production. When the milk reached at the production department wastage

occurs at every stage.How wastage occurs ?

1. While they transferring milk from the milk van to the separator, wastage

took place there. Workers put the milk into the separator with buckets

some milk gets wasted.

2. Wastage also occurs at the packaging stage. Because some packets gets

leakage.

~ 19 ~


20/26

3. Some time milk gets wasted because of poor quality and low gravity.

4. Some time the packed products expires in their temporary store.

3.2 SWOT ANALYSIS:The swot analysis is the process of analyzing the company and the environment in which

it is operating. This analysis helps in formulating effective strategies for the company to

survive in the competitive era. SWOT stands for: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities

and Threats.

STRENGTHS:

1. Milkfood has a good manufacturing milk plant in the northern region andprocessing milk & its products.

2. Milkfood has carved a niche for itself on the basis of the sheer strengths of its

quality and freshness.

3. The products have a home made taste thats why these are preferred by all people.

4. All the products are easily available at reasonable price.

5. It is ISO (international organization for standard) certified organization.

6. With the changing time and competition, Milkfood has also been able to keep

pace.

7. The different programmes started by the organization have helped the dairy

farmers and enhanced the reputation in the rural areas.8. Water requirements are met from deep bore Tubewell with capacity of 90 cubic

meters per hour.

WEAKNESSES:1. The company at present is not indulging in too much advertising.

2. The work environment in the company needs improvement at the movement it is

too bureaucratic.

3. There are no facility by the company to the employees for daily up-down.

~ 20 ~
