Dairy
Milk collection with fat-based pricing, processing yields and route distribution on daily cycles.
Also covers: Milk · Dairy Products · Dairy Processing · Milk Collection
About this industry
Dairy runs on two daily cycles, seven days a week. Milk is collected from many small producers and priced on fat and SNF content, processed into products with their own yields, and distributed on fixed routes to customers who expect delivery every morning. Payments to producers run on a cycle of their own.
Common operational problems
- Producer payment depends on fat and SNF testing that must be recorded accurately per collection
- Processing yields into ghee, paneer and curd are not reconciled against milk input
- Route distribution with daily deliveries and monthly billing is hard to track manually
- Producer advances and deductions accumulate across cycles
- Perishability leaves no room for stock error
Example workflows

Rate calculation from fat and SNF against a rate chart
