Sarda Farms: From Cows to Consumers
內容大綱
In 2016, the owner of Sarda Farms, a dairy farm in western India, was preparing for a meeting with the company’s senior management. Since the dairy’s launch in 2011, its production processes had stabilized; however, the daily demand for its milk was projected to increase substantially in six months, from 15,000 litres to 25,000 litres. Because the farm was already operating at near capacity, the output and efficiencies of all processes were under scrutiny. Sarda Farms needed to improve its efficiencies to meet the increase in demand, and the owner needed to finalize his strategy for improvements with senior management in one week’s time.
