neighboring unions like Kheda and Valsad.

Transportation cost accounts around 17.5% of price per

litre milk

Wastage of 5% milk and production decrease in summer

season results more expense.

Reduce collecting point from 700 co-operative

societies to 33 pickup points

Use chilling centres in between the routes that

requires more time to transport milk from

loading points to Processing centre

Use effective routing so that tempos are used

designing efficient routes for milk collection? What kind of

conflicts are these revised routes likely to create at the

supplied by the farmers irrespective of the demand.

In corporate diary, the company will collect only its

required quantity of milk irrespective of excess
