1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

In India, imported dairy products like butter, cheese, whey, and yogurt are now
subject to taxes, along with processed milk powder. India is engaged in
negotiations over the reduction of import taxes on dairy goods.

The context of the regional comprehensive economic partnership. Skimmed


milk powder imports into India without any import taxes was proposed by the
industry in 2020, but Indian dairy producers protested and opposed it because it
would hurt native milk production. India is a country steeped in history and
culture, where cows considered being sacred; therefore, importing more or less
dairy products there requires proof that the animals involved were not fed feed
containing extracts of ruminants.

Due to this, Most of American dairy products Imports are not allowed into
India. For a total of 2928.79 cores, India exported 108711.27 metric tonnes of
dairy goods in 2021–2022. Milk products are hard to find.

United Arab Emirates, Bhutan, Turkey, Egypt, and Netherlands were among its
top export markets. India's exports of are hampered by high levels of domestic
consumption and uncompetitive worldwide prices.

11
The dairy sector in Karnataka

In June 1974, an integrated effort to restructure and harmonise the dairy


commercial based on cooperative principles were initiated in Karnataka. Laid
the groundwork in 1975 for additional World Bank-funded dairy development
programmes. The dairy development organisation was established to carry out
the initiative, which initially involved eight southern Karnataka districts. Under
operation Flood-II, the dairy development operations were continued, and the
multi-level activities were expanded to include the entire state, with the
exception of the coastal Taluks of the Uttar Karnataka district. The middle level
institution known as Milk Union was founded and given responsibility for the
enlargement of the dairy sector. KMF's establishment in 1984 marked the
continuation of the dairy industry's second phase of growth.

Following the termination of operation Flood-II dairy development efforts,


Flood-II, which employed 700 professionals, took over as the successor to
KDDC in May 1984. Although the NDDB is a registered society, the IDC is a
Government of India Company. Along with assistance for Operation Flood's
implementation, NDDB supports projects with applied research and
development.

Four milk unions were established in Karnataka on June 4th, 1975 in Bangalore,
Mysore, Tumkur, and Hassan. Karnataka Dairy Development Corporation
(KDDC) was renamed as Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), and the Mysore
Corporative Milk Producers Societies Union Ltd became the "Mysore -
Chamarajanagar District Coop Milk Producers Societies Union Ltd."

Dairy developments in Mysore:

On June 1st, 1987, the Mysore milk union acquired the Mysore dairy, which has
an installed capacity of 60 TLPS. It was increased to 100 TLPS. It was further
built up to 100TLPDS and extended to 300TLPDS during Operation Flood. In
April 2015, following 300 TLPDS, The Mysore - Chamarajanagar district milk
union was divided into the Mysore milk union and the Chamarajanagar milk

12
union. The new mega dairy at Alanahally Mysore has an installed capacity of 6
to 8 LLPD.

1.3 ORGANIZATION PROFILE

Background of organization

The first of the dairy cooperatives that make up KMF was founded in Kudige,
Kodagu District, in 1955. KMF was founded in 1974 as the Karnataka Dairy
Development Corporation (KDDC) to execute a dairy development project that
was controlled by the World Bank. KMF became the organization's new name
in 1984. With 1500 members, KMF, 14 milk unions around the state of
Karnataka purchase milk from Primary Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) and
distribute it to customers in a variety of urban and rural markets.

1.6 COMPETITOR’S INFORMATION

India has a thriving sector for diaries. At initially, the Nandini brand had a
monopoly on the market. Thus, there was no competition. However, loose
milk sales existed before the industry even got off the ground. In my opinion,
Karnataka’s competitor have been expanding for decades.
The major competitors are:
 Jersey
 Dodla
 Arogya
 Fresh Milk
 Loose vendors
 Gomatha
 Trimala

Dodla
 Plant located at Nellore.
 Cheaper raw material are readily available.
 Sales in the union purview 18TLPD (30TLPD in the city).
 The commission is between 80 and 95 rupees.
 Quality impression, lengthy life and thickness.
 Flexible distribution allows for merchants or any seller.
 Refund will be granted. Payment can be made in cash or by collecting
empty containers on the way back.
 Affiliates of the channel are essential to increasing sales.
 The package is appealing, with sachets featuring multicoloured pricing.
 The general public trusts that milk is suitable for forming curds.

Arogya
 Plant located at Bangalore
 Sale in union jurisdiction 10tlpd.
 MRP rates rs.20per litre.
 Commission range from 60paisa per litre.
19
 Availability-mostly retail outlets like bakeries, condiments and
departmental stores.
 Packing is attractive with multi-colour pricing on sachets.
 Concentrating on value added products and not much on milk.

INDUSTRY GROWTH AND CURRENT STATUS

The Indian dairy business is moving quickly and favourably into the new
century. India has emerged as the top milk producer in the world with an
annual milk production of 76 million tonnes after experiencing an exceptional
surge in milk production of more than two and a half times in the two decades
to roughly 58.8 million tonnes in 1992. The fifth-largest industry in the nation
is the food processing sector. With barely 7% growth annually, 85% of the
business in the milk and milk product industry is in the unrecognised sector.

The creation of a cooperative organisation as a fast and consistent buyer of


milk supplied gave the rural economy a new direction. Currently, an estimated
12–15% of all milk produced is handled by about 275 dairy plants and 85 milk
product companies in the cooperative, public, and private sectors. Over 90%
of the milk is transported to dairies in the majority of the world's nations.

In India right now, the trends are also evolving quickly. It is anticipated that
organised milk processing would significantly rise in industrialised nations. As
a result, there will be more potential for value addition. During the same time
period, the production of dairy products in the nation's food sector climbed by
5-7%. The era of imported milk shortages is now a thing of the past. The
chance to access the market for value-added dairy products including butter,
cheese, lactose, khova, and paneer might be seized by the organised sector.It
goes without saying that the organised dairy industry has done a great job of
transitioning from a dependent on export business to a self-sufficient industry
and starting to export a variety of products. And now it is prepared for a new
wave of growth by starting a large-scale milk production in the organised
sector.

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND AND
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital is often regarded as the lifeblood of a business, representing


the essential capital needed for its daily operations. It encompasses the surplus
of current assets beyond current liabilities and provisions. This excess is
alternatively denoted to as "Net Working Capital" or "Net Current Assets". In
accounting, ‘Working capital signifies the contrast between incoming and
outgoing resources, effectively translating into net cash inflow. It's
characterized by means of surplus of current-assets overhead current-liabilities
and obligations.

Working capital falls into one of the following categories:

1. Permanent working capital:


This pertains to essential working capital, representing the bare
minimum speculation in current-assets that businesses must always
uphold to sustain their basic operations. It's also recognized as static
working-capital.
2. Temporary working capital:
This highlights the additional working-capital that is obligatory in
accumulation to the permanent working capital. It is furthermore
identified as fluctuating working capital or variable working capital. As
fabrication and sales fluctuate, so does the extent of temporary working
capital.
3. Gross working capital :
The total speculation in all current assets is identified as gross
working-capital. Gross working-capital is the total investments made
across all current assets.
4. Net working capital:
Net working capital represents the surplus of total current-assets beyond
total current liabilities. The notion of net working-capital empowers a
firm to discern the extent of resources available for operational
necessities. Net working capital is a dynamic concept, portraying the

28
firm's liquidity position and indicating the extent to which Working
Capital requirements can be covered by enduring resources. In essence,
it mirrors the financial stability of a company.

The need or goals of working capital

The indispensability of adequate working capital for sustaining day-to-


day business operations cannot be overstated. Virtually every business
enterprise necessitates some level of working capital, albeit their specific
requirements may differ. Recognizing the firm's objective of enhancing
shareholder value, a crucial element involves generating substantial returns
from operations. Achieving noteworthy profitability hinges on effective sales
endeavors. Therefore, the firm must allocate sufficient funds to current assets to
facilitate prompt cash realization. This process inherently encompasses an
operational cycle, entailing the transformation of sales into cash.

The varying requirements of working capital are outlined below.:

1. To pay wages and pay rents.

2. To buy raw material i.e. milk.

3. To gives credit work environment to the client.

4. To pay electric bills and other miscellaneous expenses.

5. To maintain the raw material, work in progress, stores and extra things and
completed stock.

FACTORS DETERMINING WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital varies from company to company. The factors that determine
the prerequisite for working capital is given below.

1. Nature of business: Working Capital needs are contingent upon the


nature of business in public utility business like railways, electric supply,
transport; etc. working-capital requirement is more ,whereas ,it is less in
manufacturing business.

29
2. Size of business: For labor-intensive industries, higher working capital is
essential due to the elevated wage expenses. Conversely, capital-
intensive industries necessitate comparatively lower working capital.
3. Volume of sales: The degree of sales and the extent of working capital
revelation a direct correlation. When sales volume rises, there is a
concurrent augmentation in the allocation of working capital.
4. Raw Material Supply Fluctuations: While there is a timely and sufficient
provision of raw materials, spares, and other essential items, a business
can function with a smaller quantum of working capital. On the contrary,
if the supply is sporadic, seasonal, or regulated by government entities,
it necessitates maintaining larger stocks, consequently amplifying the
prerequisite for working capital.
5. Cost or raw materials: A business entity necessitates greater working
capital when the raw material demanded is substantial in quantity and
carries a higher cost.
6. Credit Policy: When suppliers extend longer credit terms for raw
materials, the working capital need diminishes. Conversely, if the
company extends credit to customers while procuring raw materials for
immediate cash, the working capital obligation escalates.
7. Cash Obligations Impact: A higher cash demand to cover payments such
as rent, salaries, etc., corresponds to an elevated working capital
requirement, and conversely.
8. Seasonal Fluctuations: Elevated requirements coincide with busy seasons
and inflation, whereas lower requirements are observed during low-
demand periods.

Approaches to Financing Working Capital:

Within the realm of financing sources, the company has pinpointed distinct
avenues for funding its current assets. These avenues can be broadly categorized
into long-term and short-term sources. Long-term sources encompass options
such as shares, debentures, preference shares, retained earnings, and debt from
financial institutions. On the other hand, short-term sources include short-term
bank advances and commercial papers.

30
 Hedging Approach or Matching Approach:
Once the firm adopts a hedging approach to fund its capital, it seeks to align
the anticipated lifespan of assets with the anticipated growth timeline of
funding sources for those assets. This approach focuses on harmonizing the
interval of asset existence with the interval of financial sources' availability
to fund those assets.
 Conservative Approach:
When a significant portion of assets is sourced from long-term financing, the
firm is adopting a conservative financial strategy. In this scenario, the firm
relies heavily on long-term funds, reducing risk exposure. It utilizes long-
term sources to fund both permanent current assets and a portion of
temporary current assets during periods when temporary assets are not
necessary. This strategy enhances liquidity by investing excess funds in
merchantable securities.
 Aggressive Approach:
In an aggressive financial approach, the firm heavily depends on short-term
capitals to finance its assets. Even a segment of permanent current assets is
funded through short-term sources in this approach, contrary to the matching
approach that mandates permanent current assets to be supported by long-
term funds.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Financing:

Under its financial strategy, the firm has the option to utilize either short-
term or long-term funds to finance assets. Upon selecting short-term or
long-term financing, the firm should then determine the degree to which
assets funded by short-term sources align with the risk-return trade-off
technique.
 Flexibility
 Cost

• Risk Return exchange off;

There is a contention between the utilization of transient and long haul reserves
in the money related arrangement. Transient monetary in is less unreasonable
than long haul financing in any case, in the meantime, fleeting financing

31
includes more serious danger than the long haul financing. In this manner, to
pick between fleeting and long haul financing the firm needs to realize balance
in the middle of danger and return.

LONG TERM SOURCES OF WORKING CAPITAL FINANCE:

An organization requires working capital for the instalment of everyday costs.


A firm for transient reason holds present resources and they are changed over
into money ahead of schedule as could reasonably be expected. Then again, the
settled resources are those, Assets acquired not for resale but to enhance the
firm's earning capacity are considered as non-resale assets. Working capital is
primarily funded by long-term bank loans, usually extending over a period of 7
years or more. These loans serve the purpose of acquiring long-term assets or
making investments. In instances of short-term fund inadequacy, they can also
address short-term working capital needs. Other long-term sources encompass
retained earnings, equity capital, preference capital, and debenture capital.

Source of Working Capital Finance:

1. Trade Credit:
Trade credit refers to credit extended by suppliers of goods and services.
It's a spontaneous financing source, arising from routine business
transactions without specific negotiations, as long as the firm maintains
good creditworthiness. It constitutes a significant financing avenue,
typically ranging from 25% to 50% of short-term financing.
2. Instalment Credit:
This method enables immediate possession of goods with payments
spread across predetermined instalments. While interest is usually
charged on the outstanding amount, this approach furnishes funds for a
specific period. Many businesses employ instalment credit as a means
of short-term working capital financing.

3. Public Deposits:

32
Firms, both hefty and small, have increasingly sought unsecured
deposits from the public, primarily to address their working Capital
needs. Typically, firms offer high-interest rates, often in the range of
14% to 15%, as an incentive to attract deposits.
4. Advances:
Certain businesses secure advances from customers and intermediaries
based on orders, constituting a short-term and cost-effective source of
finance. Manufacturing industries opt for this approach to curtail their
working Capital investment.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:


Working-capital management is a fundamental business strategy aimed at
optimizing operational efficiency by effectively managing current-assets and
liabilities. Its focus is on monitoring and utilizing these components to their
fullest potential. The practice of administration it establishes a framework for
achieving this objective.
The ideal exchange off between the benefit and net current resources exploited
and the capacity to pay current risk as they fall due.
We came across that working Capital policy normally covers two facts;
 The target levels for every class of current resources and
 The strategies for financing current resources.

Balancing the necessity for adequate and inadequate levels is crucial in guiding
the flow and distribution of working Capital components. Additionally,
planning and utilizing a mix of payment, short-term, and long-term funding
sources are integral for financing current asset investments. It's noteworthy that
the cost of long-term funds displays less fluctuation compared to short-term
funds, which exhibit higher volatility. While determining the working-capital
policy, one should consider both returns and the broader concepts linked to
working capital management. The role of the financial manager involves
monitoring fund inflows and outflows in line with organizational needs. This
encompasses the composition altitudes of current-assets and liabilities,
impacting the company's profitability and risk. These decisions lead to distinct

33
net working-capital positions or strategies, labelled as aggressive, balanced, or
conservative, based on their implications for the company's risk.

DETERMININATION OF WORKING CAPITAL

The organization's working-capital position holds a direct influence on its


liquidity status. Quantitative approaches, such as percentage methods, are
employed to calculate the working Capital position, accompanied by an
assessment of their benefits and drawbacks.

1. Net working capital :


Net working capital is the difference between a company's current assets
and its current liabilities, as presented on the balance sheet. This
quantitative approach signifies the firm's liquidity stance and the extent
of its working capital necessity. This necessity can be funded through
enduring resource streams.
2. Current resources:
current resources intended to be incorporated into money and those
benefits which can be changed into money and provide the future
benefits to individual or corporate, organization within the time frame
of 12months i.e. 1year. For example: Bills receivable, sundry borrower,
inventories, work in progress etc.
3. Current liabilities:
Current liabilities encompass obligations that must be resolved with
cash within the ongoing fiscal year. Examples: charges payable, payroll
due, taxes, accrued expenses, interest payable, rent fees and other short
term debts.
4. Fixed resources:
It demonstrates the effectiveness within the firm by using its interest in
settled resources, for example, land building, plant and apparatus, etc.

5. Sales:
Every single organization need to make benefits with a end goal of
generating revenue. If the company experiences negative Cash flow

34
stemming from a reduction in incoming revenue., it will draw down its
working capital.
6. Venture:
The magnitude of ventures plays important role in fetching working
capital .The greater the magnitude of business the more extensive the
demand for working capital.

Employees Business Total business %

1-9(Micro) 1022695 82.3%

10-49(small) 177950 14.3%

50-249(medium) 29750 2.4%

250+(Large) 6455 0.5%

7. Creditors:
Sundry loan bosses are to who organization owe cash. It incorporates
broker’s companions, suppliers, relatives, monetary establishments and
so on.
8. Debtors:
Debtors are the persons who need to make instalment for the
organization. It incorporates clients, purchases; and so on generally,
the time given for purchasers for credit instalment is 60 to 90days.
9. Cash:
Cash is basis for each affiliation. It also influences maximum liquidity
and maximum profitability in the day today business. In each method
cash is accept a vivacious part rather in starting another plant, purchase
of milk (raw material), feed and fodder ,advertisement & publicity
also other product which are not manufactured in the MYMUL but
also the demand for product is available.

35
10. Working capital:
Working capital depicts the variance between resource inflow and
outflow, highlighting the surplus of current-assets compared to current
liabilities.

RATIOS RELATED TO WORKING CAPITAL


Another logical apparatus that can be utilized for examination of working
capital is the book keeping proportions, especially working capital proportions.
A slice of the imperative working capital proportions are:

 Current ratio: (CR)


The current ratio illustrates the connection between current-assets and current-
liabilities, reflecting the firm's solvency and liquidity. This ratio is determined
by dividing the total current-assets by the total current liabilities. The
conventional benchmark for the current-ratio is 2:1.
CR= Current Assets –Current liabilities

 Debtors collection period:


It demonstrates the quantities of times the borrowers are turn over amid a year.
For the most part, the higher the estimation of account holder’s turnover the
more productive is the management of debtors. /deals or more fluid is the
borrowers comparably low indebted individuals turnover infers wasteful in
administration. It signifies the correlation between net transactions and regular
borrowers. There exists no universally established guideline or standard that
could serve as a norm during the interpretation of this ratio.
DTR (Debtors revenue) = net sales –average debtors
Average debtors = Opening stock +Closing stock
Sales

 Debtors Collection Period:


The efficiency in the collection of debts is indicated by this ratio. It
reflects alterations in the company's credit policy or its capacity to recover debts
36
from its creditors. No universally defined rule or standard exists that can be
universally applied for interpreting this ratio.
Debtors collection period = debtors × 365 Days
Sales
 Acid test ratio:
Smart extent, generally called Acid test ratio or Liquid extent, is a more
intensive test of liquidity than the present extent .the term liquidity suggests
the limit of a firm to pay its transient responsibility as and when they get the
chance not out of the ordinary .Quick extent may be portrayed as the
relationship between quick/liquid assets and present or liquid liabilities. The
lively extent can be figured by parcelling the aggregate of the smart asserts by
total current-liabilities. The standard or standard fundamental thumb of quick
extent is 1:1.

 Working Capital turnover Ratio:


The working Capital turnover shows whether working-capital can be
used excellently to deliver deals or not. This ratio is preferred over the stock-
turnover ratio since it shows the effective utilization of the entire working
capital through stock turnover proportion shows just the turnover of inventories
which is a subset of working- capital. By separating the net deals capital, the
percentage may be calculated. there is no overarching principle or benchmark
that might be applied to the translation of this ratio.

W.C. Turnover Ratio = Net Sales/Net WC

CASH CYCLE AND OPERATING CYCLE:


Cash Cycle
An important metric for measuring how effective cash balances are used in cash
cycle period or cash balance is measured by the count of days for sales. More
liquidity is indicated by a higher turnover ratio and less liquidity by a lower

37
turnover rate. The challenge is to balance the propensity for a big turnover with
the propensity for a too small turnover ensures that cash id used as efficiently
as feasible without placing stockholders’ capital at unnecessary risk. The
effective use of cash resources is shown by the cash balance in term of fewer
days’ sales, and such businesses might not need a appropriate rise in cash
resources in tandem with an escalation in sales volume. Thus, it has an impact
on a company’s profitability.

Operating Cycle

(DPO), and Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) as WCM measures. The Emerging
Markets Information Service (EMIS) database's microdata for Polish dairy
enterprises from 2008 to 2017 served as the study's foundation. Panel regression
models were used to show that, in dairy companies, extending the DSO and
DPO had a positive influence on ROA while extending the DSI and CCC had a
negative impact. Such ties were typically seen among SMEs, which make up
the majority of companies in Poland.

Introduction:

Raw Material is the basic requirement of every organisation. The


sequence of bringing milk to MYMUL starts from the collection of milk from
the individual milk producer.

MYMUL procures raw milk directly from the farmers through the Dairy
Co-operative societies (DCS). MYMUL has got 71 milk procurement routes
and each route covers around 15 to 20 societies. DCS collects milk from
producer which is stored in cans and transported to MYMUL through trucks. If
the main dairy is far away from DCS, the milk is transferred to nearest chilling
centre in order to chill the milk so as to avoid the growth of micro organisms
which is then transported to main dairy.

MYMUL has got three chilling centres located in Hunsur, Kollegala and
Chamrajanagar. After collecting milk from various DCS, it will be processed in
MYMUL and supplied to the customers. Secondary items like packaging
materials, engineering materials are procured through calling tenders. The
payment is made to supplier of milk on weekly basis and the payment for the
transport contractors is made once in a fortnight. In case of shortage of milk, the
Union purchases milk from other dairy at inter dairy price.

The payment is made to farmers on basis of percentage of Fat and SNF


content at a min of 3.5% and 8.5%. The daily average milk procurement here is
3,12,000.

Function:

 DCS supervision: Extension officers will be visiting once in a month to


DCS to supervise the accounts and to guide the members for
development of the DCS.
 Providing input activities to milk producers through DCS at right time.
 Proper transportation of milk from DCS to dairy.

Introduction:

The purchase and stores department plays a vital role in the


organisations like MYMUL, where the core function is production. The
purchase department performs the function ranging from collection of indents
from each department to purchasing through general inquiry or tender. This
section basically deals with the purchase of LPDE films, ghee films, corrugated
boxes, cartons, sugar, nitric acid, machinery and parts, vehicle spare parts,
stationery items, oil and lubricants etc., except milk.

Once the purchased items arrive at the union premises, it is taken care
by stores section. Store then sends the material to the respective sections as per
the requirements. If the received materials are not used immediately it is kept
into different places as per its category for the future use. The damaged or
obsolete items are sold to the public through auction or other means.

Purchase Procedure

The purchase process starts when the Managing Director of MYMUL


approves the indent requests from different section and departments.

Document required: Indent along with the note approved by Managing


Director.

1) Enquiry will be made with the registered manufactures,


dealers/distributors/suppliers etc.
2) Preparing comparative statement of the offers received
3) Samples quality checking wherever samples obtained
4) Rate analysis
5) Placing before the purchase committee for decision, and then obtaining
approval of the Managing Director or direct approval from the
Managing Director depending upon the sequences
6) Placing purchase order/work orders
7) Quality checking after receipt of material
8) Acceptance
9) Payment as per terms and condition

49
The purchase order consists of the following elements:

 Supplier’s code number


 Date of order
 Mysore Dairy’s inquiry number
 Supplier quotation number
 Material code number
 Description of materials
 Units of materials to be purchase
 Unit rate of material
 Total amount of material
 Discount (if any agreed)
 Central/ Excise duty
 Sales tax
 Insurance charges
 Delivery period
 Payment terms
 Signature of the approver

Handling purchase order:

 After the purchase order is received, store departments procure the type and

quantity of materials as mentioned in the purchase order.

 After the materials for purchase is received from vendor, store department

prepares MRR (Material Received Report) and sends it to the concerned

user departments for the approval. The authority at user division checks the

specification of supply and approves it. Approval certificate is given either

by user division or quality control division.

 Two copies of MRR are retained in the store, two copies are sent to purchase

department and one copy is forwarded to finance department for release of

payment. The MRR is registered in record register. The materials are given

50
to the user division by recording the material issued in the issue register

against prescribed indent form.

 The rejected lot will be returned to the respective vendors.

 If the materials are unused for 5 years, it is separated from the stock through

Introduction:

The main objective of this department is to follow up production


schedule as per plan and to maintain a good relationship with other departments
in order to upgrade the technical efficiency of production.

Production department is well equipped and has various types of highly


sophisticated machines imported from Sweden and Denmark. Once the milk is
received from P & I department, it is first weighed with the help of weighing
bowl. Later, it is poured in dump tank. Sample testing is made where fat and
SNF content of milk is accessed. The milk is then sent to production section
through stainless steel pipes.

Later, the raw milk is passed through plate chillers of variable capacity
where it is cooled up to 4-5 degrees Celsius. This cooled milk is further stored
in a silo of 30,000 litres capacity.

Production process:

The raw material passes through different process before converting into the
finished good. Here, raw milk is the input material which is processed to deliver
consumable milk and milk products as finished goods

Clean in Place System (CIP System) at MYMUL

Every equipments and milk lines are cleaned once every day for milk
processing. Hence to process one litre of milk, one litre of water is used. To
clean these equipments and milk lines, sodium hydroxide and nitric acid of
concentration 1% each are used. The procedure followed to clean these
equipments and milk lines are as follows:

1st step- Rinse with water

During this step, raw water is passed through equipment and milk lines
and milk residues are drained out.

2nd step- Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) step

During this step, lye is passed through equipments and milk lines so
that fat content stacked in equipments and milk lines will be drained out after
few seconds and the remaining lye solution will be collected in lye tank. Again,
raw water is passed through equipments and milk lines so that acid remains in
the equipments and milk will be drained out.

3rd step- Acid (Nitric Acid) step

During this step, acid is passed through equipments and milk lines so
that inside milk scaly will be removed and the acid will be drained out after few
seconds. The remaining acid solution will be collected in acid tank. Again, raw
water is passed through equipments and milk lines so that the acid remain in the
equipments and milk lines will be drained out.

4th step- Hot water circulation

Hot water at about 80 degrees Celsius is passed through equipments and


milk lines so that lines will be free from all the section.

56
5th step- Fresh water circulation Fresh water at room temperature is passed
through equipments and milk lines so that the lines will be perfectly cleaned
and they attain the room temperature.

Function:

Quality is the essential attribute attached to any product. All products and
services that want to be a leader in the market should provide the superior
quality. MYMUL also follows the same strategy. Q. C department at MYMUL
ensures the quality of the milk and products to the prescribed standards. It is
also responsible for formulating the quality control policies and development
of standards for the milk and milk products from time-to-time. The standards
are mandatory and include the latest quality parameters
The quality control department randomly assesses the quality of milk and the
products produced by the union. It ensures that they comply with the standards
and also provides instructions for improvement. Routine inspection of the
dairy plant and chilling units are part of the responsibility of quality control

58
department to assess the machinery condition, cleanliness and hygiene and
processing parameters being followed. The Q. C department tests the
packaging materials purchased by the union. The quality testing equipments
are checked regularly. The new packaging materials and newly introduced
products go through rigorous quality control checks by Q. C department.
Usually Q. C department tests the purchased materials that are directly
concerned with food. Only after the approval of Q. C the materials purchased
are accepted and stored for record.
Tests carried out for milk and milk products:

Analysis of milk:

1. Argunoreptic test:
This test is conducted to smell, sweet and flavour of milk.
2. Adulteration test:
This test is conducted to see if the procured milk is adulterated
with salt, sugar and soda by the producers.
3. Clot On Boiling test:
This test is conducted to determine heat stability of the milk.
4. Fat and SNF test:
During this test, amount of SNF/FAT is tested. Basically, milk
consists of 85 % water and 15 % solid particles. Price of the milk
received from farmers is determined by its SNF/FAT content. Higher
the SNF/FAT in the milk, greater will be its price.
Analysis of curd:

There are various tests conducted for the curds in Quality Control
department. They are Acidity test, Yeast and Mould test, coli form test, Body
and Texture, flavour test, Fat and SNF test are also conducted to know the Fat

4.1 STATMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Within a manufacturing company, the task of overseeing working capital is
notably intricate and fraught with risks. The preservation of robust liquidity is
paramount for overall success. A prominent predicament encountered by many
enterprises revolves around the upkeep of working capital. Consequently, the
careful equilibrium of components such as inventory management, cash
management, and accounts receivable management assumes paramount
importance in retaining the health of working capital.

Studying working capital management is crucial because without effective


working capital management, including monitoring, planning, and reviews at
regular intervals to identify and address any bottlenecks, a company cannot
generate a profit or grow its turnover.

4.2 NEED FOR THE STUDY

A firm's solid financial base and operational success hinge on expert


management of working capital. The ability to skilfully navigate working
capital management, ensuring a harmonious equilibrium between expansion,
profitability, and liquidity, serves as a clear indicator of adept business
administration.

4.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1. To evaluate the MYMUL dairy's performance and operational


effectiveness.
2. To investigate how the cash conversion cycle affects working capital.
3. To assess the debtors' collection timeframe affects working capital.
4. To assess the impact of debt-collecting period on working capital.
5. To investigate the length of the inventory-holding period affects
working capital.

75
4.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

 The focus of this endeavour is limited to the maneuvers of MYMUL Dairy


(Mega Dairy), specifically examining how the collection period for debtors,
the assembly period from creditors, and the duration of inventory holding
collectively influence the organization's working capital. This analysis is
confined to the historical data spanning the last five years.

4.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

Research involves systematically investigating real-world problems with the


aim of offering factual solutions. It's a deliberate and scientific exploration of a
specific issue, driven by predefined goals. This process is organized,
methodical, and grounded in data, utilizing historical information to assess cost
management and reduction strategies within a company. Various calculations
are applied to analyse pertinent organizational data, aligning it with the research
objectives.

Using the appropriate statistical methods, the composed data has been analysed.
Regression analysis was applied to the claim analysis. The data was evaluated
using the SPSS model while considering the elements specified in each
hypothesis. To assess the validity of the research of hypotheses, a "student T-
test" is utilised.

Regression analysis was used to examine whether there is a correspondence


between the variables. This involved regressing Variable-Y on Variable-X to
see if there was a significant positive link between an increase in Variable-X
and an equal increase in Variable-Y. One exists if the relationship is the exact
opposite of that. The Regression Coefficient (r2) was used to calculate the
strength of the association between X and Y. The ratio of the dependent variable
Y's variance to the overall variation of the independent variable X is represented
by this statistic.

76
• If the tabular t test is higher than the calculated t test (Ttab>Tcalc), the
decision rule is to castoff the alternative hypothesis (H1) and accept the
null hypothesis (H0).

• Accepting the substitute hypothesis (H1) while rejecting the null hypothesis
(H0) if the tabular t test is less than the calculated t test (Ttab).

The information has been collected from the below sources in the preparation
of the project.
 Secondary sources:
 The data is collected from the number of books, Magazines and documents
of MYMUL.
 Collection of required data from the annual records, Monthly records,
internal published book or profile of MYMUL.
 The company's annual reports;
 Additional publications and periodicals relevant to the dairy industries

4.6 HYPOTHESIS:

1. H0 = There is no association between inventory holding period and


working capital of the organization.

H1 = There is an association between inventory holding period and


working capital of the organization

2. H0 = There is no interrelation between debtors collection period and


working capital of the organization.
H1 = There is an interrelation between debtors collection period and
working capital of the organization.
3. H0 = There is no association between cash cycle and working capital of
the organization.

decreased in the approaching years, which has caused the ratio to decrease.The
ratio was raised to its maximum in 2021 and 2022, which is 24.93 and 24.85,
respectively.

Interpretation: In 2018, the stock holding period increased to 16.976 days,


presuming that inventory moves swiftly and promptly recoups its cost + profit.
Additionally, it has been getting worse in 2019 the delay between inventory
movement and profit. Returning to the growing phase of 14, once more.

DEBTORS TURNOVER-RATIO (DTR)

83
The debtor turnover ratio reflects the effectiveness of the company's debt
collection efforts. This ratio establishes the frequency with which receivables
from debtors have changed throughout the course of the defined period..

Debtors turnover-ratio = Net sales ÷ Average debtor

Interpretation: It is apparent that the debtors' turnover ratio fell between 2017
and 2018, or in the debtors' collection period, by a difference of 11.9 times.
After that, throughout the previous four years, it has been sharply rising, i.e. is
81.05 times in 2022.In the dairy industry, a 10 to 12 times debtor turnover ratio
is ideal. A shorter time interval between sales and cash collection can be shown
in higher debtor collection periods.
DEBTORS COLLECTION PERIOD

84
The borrower holding period measures the type of borrowers by defining how
fast or clearly money is withdrawn from them. A shorter accumulation time
suggests prompt instalments from account holders.
Debtors collection period = Days in a year ÷ Debtor turnover ratio

Interpretation: In 2017, it lasted about 8 days, which is a lot less time than the
average period, which might range from 10 to 15 days or even less. It reaches
10.78 days in the year 2018, which is better, but in subsequent days it has fallen
short of the norms.

85
CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO (CTR)
The proportion of accounts payable to total revenue is a transient liquidity
metric used to assess how quickly a company pay its suppliers. The total
purchases made using suppliers divided by the average amount of accounts
payable during the same period yield the creditor liability turnover proportion.

Creditors turnover ratio = cost of goods sold ÷ Average creditors

Interpretation: It is obvious that the turnover ratio of creditors is


increasing. The association between the turnover ratio of creditors and
the interval it takes for them to be collected can be determined in the
interim. The ratio increases to 6.03 in 2020 and to 13.467 in 2021.

86
CREDITORD COLLECTION PERIOD (CCP)
A collection time is the standard figure of days required to recover receivables
from clients. It is determined by how long it takes since the interval of invoice
is sent until the client pays it.
Given that the creditor company has its funds at risk for a shorter amount of
time and requires less working capital to operate the firm, a shorter gathering
period is thought to be ideal. Some organization, however, consciously permit
a longer collection period in order to increase their sales to client with lower
credit quality.

87
WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO (WCTR)
This ratio demonstrates the turnover of working capital over following year.
This ratio measures the efficiency with which the business uses its working
capital.
Working capital turnover ratio= Net sales ÷ Net working capital

In later 2 years it was turned down where in 2021 is has been further increased to 15.08
and it started to decline in 2022.

88
OPERATING CYCLE

The Operational period is the length of period it takes an entity to get goods., sell them,
and make money from those sales.

Operating cycle = Inventory collection period + Debtors collection period

quickly than it receives payment from customer. This may result in a decrease
in cash flow, endangering the viability and sustainability of the Company.

CHAPTER 6

FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

100
The insights and judgemental reached after scrutinising a company’s financial
accounts and associated data are referred as financial analysis results. Financial
analysis involves assessing a variety of aspects of company’s financial
performance, position, and operations in order to enhance understanding its
financial health, strength, weaknesses, and potential threats. The findings of
financial analysis provide information that may aid in the decision- making
process for creditors, manager, investors, and other stakeholders.

The results of financial analysis gives a complete picture of health and


performance of a company’s finances. These results give interested parties the
information they need-to make judgements that are in line with their objectives
and risk tolerance.

6.1 Findings:

The end- results of the ratio analysis comprise:

Current ratio: A quantifiable ratio can be anywhere between 1.5 - 3, and you
figure out in the diagram from 2020 to 2022 it has better ratio.

Inventory turnover ratio: In 2018, the inventory turnover ratio was 21.50. The
ratio was raised to its maximum in 2021 and 2022, 24.93 in 2021 and 24.85 in
2022, respectively.

Creditor’s collection period: It is evident that the ratio of creditors holding


periods increased in 2017. It is higher relative to other things and has decreased
to 27.103 from 2017 levels.

Debtors turnover ratio: debtor’s turnover ratio decreased from 2017 to 2018
with difference of 11.9 times i.e. decreased in the debtors collection period.
Later, it has dramatically increased during the last four years, reaching 81.05
times in 2022.

Debtor’s collection period: In 2017, it lasted about 8 days, which is a lot less
time than the average period, which might range from 10 to 15 days or even

101
less.It reaches 10.78 days in the year 2018, which is better, but in subsequent
days it has fallen short of the norms.

Working capital: It was 15.25 times more in 2018 than it was in 2017 .later 2 years it
has been declined where in 2021 is has been further increased to 15.08 and it started
to decline in 2022.

Operating cycle: The operating cycle was shorter in 2017, which increased the
collection period. The operational cycle started to fall later in the year of 2108 and has
been increasing for the last three years.

Cash cycle: We can easily understand that after three lengthy years of a negative
cash cycle, we now have a positive cash flow cycle, or 1.976, for the year 2018.

The findings under the hypotheses includes:

Hypothesis 1:

“There is a positive relationship between the working capital and inventory


holding period” .i.e. 0.0536 which is greater than 0.05 (reject null hypothesis)

Hypothesis 2:

“There is relation and dependence between the companies’ working capital and
debtor’s collection period”. i.e. 0.537616, which is greater than 0.05 (reject null
hypothesis)

Hypothesis 3:

“There is relation and dependence between the companies’ working capital and
creditor’s collection period”. i.e. 0.22721, which is greater than 0.05 (reject null
hypothesis)

Hypothesis 4:

“There is relation and dependence between the companies’ working capital and
cash cycle”. 0.753914, which is greater than 0.05 (reject null hypothesis

102
6.2 Suggestions

 Maintaining a balanced working capital is important since having an


insufficient or excessive amount will jeopardise the company's capacity
to remain solvent.
 To effectively handle the stock. The business can adhere to economic
order quantities to prevent pointless money blocking in surplus
inventory.
 Planning and controlling the organization's cash flow effectively has
simplified cash management. so as to keep the best possible cash balance
 Reduce inventory and increase inventory turnover by comparing it to
industry competitors, and uncover the opportunities to reduce their day’s
inventory outstanding that result in increasing savings and working
capital.
 Pay vendors on time and manage debtors effectively: Our payable
process should focus heavily on payment discipline. To make sure you
are not offering customers an excessively long window to pay for items,
which would lower your working capital, you may need to re-evaluate
your contracts and credit terms with debtors.
 There should be more number of Nandini milk parlours in Mysore city
and outside.
 Organisation should try to improve the packaging of the product to
prevent leakage.
 Organisation should try to adopt more and more new technology and
methods of production to survive in this competitive market.
 The company should provide some attractive schemes for the regular
consumers as well as retail sellers.
 MYMUL must adopt professionalism in its all-working departments.
 Facilities and benefits for Agents, Retailers should improve still better.
So that the turnover of the Retailers will be reduced and market shares
will be increased.

103
 It must guide the consumers regarding its product by giving various
Demonstration programmes.
 Online computer systems (website) have to be created by the
organisation.

104
6.3 Conclusions:

The goal of the study on working capital management at MYMUL was to


analyse the company's working capital management status using the accessible
public financial statements (annual reports) for the years 2017 through 2021.

Based on the analysis methodologies used, MYMUL's financial situation is


satisfactory when compared to industry norms and standards. According to the
study, the basic ratio and the company's operational cycle, as well as the period
during which debts are collected and when creditors are collected, were
primarily calculated. A methodical approach to managing working capital was
used, with all ratios being evaluated and a precise protocol being followed.

The turnover ratios for inventories, debtors, and creditors have all increased
during the past year. While the operating cycle has a direct impact, the
inventory-holding duration, debtors' and creditors' collection period have been
decreasing.

While considered from various financial perspectives, MYMUL's working


capital management appears to be in good shape, but the company still needs to
take proper care of it. The corporation is advised to exercise caution when
making additional investments in present assets because doing so would prevent
it from receiving future funds. If not, the funds could be advantageously used
for another useful purpose. Overall, the business is advancing with responsible
financial management procedures., the necessary focus, and adequate working
capital management, according to the conclusion.
