Impact of Supply Chain Management on Productivity of Dairy Industry in India - A Literature Review

Abstract

For the dairy business to guarantee product quality, reduce losses, and boost market competitiveness, effective supply chain management is required. The study examines important strategies for enhancing supply chain effectiveness, resolving issues, and implementing sustainable practices. Dairy operations require strong cold chain infrastructure, digital integration, and efficient logistics. However, supply chain performance is hampered by issues such milk perishability, transportation constraints, regulatory compliance, and variable demand. Looking ahead, technological developments, automation, and data-driven decision-making will improve operational effectiveness and transparency. Cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability are enhanced by the use of green techniques, such as waste minimization, energy-efficient processing, and eco-friendly packaging. The dairy business may enhance operations, increase profitability, and lessen its environmental impact by implementing sustainable initiatives and contemporary supply chain tactics. The study discloses the importance of sustainability and innovation to maintain a strong and organized dairy supply chain for the future.
